perf record -b -g <command>
  perf report --branch-history

This merges the LBRs with the callgraphs.

However it would be nice if it also works without callgraphs (-g) set in
perf record, so that only the LBRs are displayed.  But currently perf
report errors in this case. For example,

  perf record -b <command>
  perf report --branch-history

  Error:
  Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did
  you call 'perf record' without -g?

This patch displays the LBRs only even if callgraphs(-g) is not enabled
in perf record.

Change log:

v2: According to Milian Wolff's comment, change the obsolete error
message. Now the error message is:

                 ┌─Error:─────────────────────────────────────┐

The process_event python hook receives a dict with all perf_sample
entries, but the tracepoint specific and trace_unhandled hooks predate
the introduction of this dict, and do not receive it.

Add the aforementioned dict as an additional argument to the affected
handlers. To keep backwards compatibility (and avoid unnecessary work),
do not pass the dict if the number of arguments signals that handler
version predates this change.

Avoid allocating memory if hook handler is not available. This saves
unused memory allocation and simplifies error path.

Let handler in python_process_tracepoint point to either tracepoint
specific or trace_unhandled hook. Use dict to check if handler points to
trace_unhandled.

Remove the exit label in python_process_general_event and return when no
handler is available.

The goal is to allow users to override linking of libraries that
were automatically added to PERFLIBS.

EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS contains linker flags to be removed from LIBS
while EXTRA_PERFLIBS contains linker flags to be added.

My use case is to force certain library to be build statically,
e.g. for libelf:

  EXCLUDE_EXTLIBS=-lelf EXTRA_PERFLIBS=path/libelf.a

On s390x the kernel text segment starts at address 0x0.  When perf
report reads kernel symbols from vmlinux file it adds an offset of
0x1000.

For example see symbol set_reset_devices:

  [root@s8360047 linux-devel]# nm -A vmlinux| fgrep set_reset_devices
  vmlinux:0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices
  [root@s8360047 linux-devel]#

  [root@s8360047 linux-devel]# fgrep set_reset_devices /proc/kallsyms
  0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices
  [root@s8360047 linux-devel]#

The kernel symbol table and the vmlinux file have the same address for
symbol set_reset_devices namely 1379000.

When perf report reads this symbols it displays it with address
symbol__new: set_reset_devices 0x137a000-0x137a018

There is a difference between perf report and vmlinux of 0x1000.

The reason for the difference is at kernel symbol load time in function
dso__load_sym(). The vmlinux file is investigated with its ELF header.
Command readelf shows this:

  Section Headers:
  [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
       Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
  [ 0]                   NULL             0000000000000000  00000000
       0000000000000000  0000000000000000           0     0     0
  [ 1] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00001000
       0000000000b0e0c2  0000000000000000  AX       0     0     128

This leads to an invalid calculation of the symbol start address, see
file utit/symbol-elf.c line 974:

        /* Adjust symbol to map to file offset */
        if (adjust_kernel_syms)
                sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset;

With shdr.sh_addr set to 0x0 and shdr.sh_offset set to 0x1000 as read
from the ELF .text section 0x1000 is added to the symbol address.

I would like to fix this by introducing an archticture specific function
named elf__needs_adjust_symbols(). This is the same approach as done by
PowerPC.  The function currently does not exist for s390x and the
default weak one is used.  The s390x specific one returns false when
symsrc_init() is invoked for kernel symbols and results in variable
adjust_kernel_syms being false.  This omits the adjustment and the
correct address is displayed (when symbol resolvement does not work).

The s390x specific function returns false for kernel symbol adjustment
and returns true for kernel modules, processes and shared libraries.

Taeung had renamed it to total_samples, but using nr_samples, as in the

connection, making clear it is about the _number_ of samples.

struct sym_hist has addr[] but it should have not only number of samples
but also the sample period.  So use new struct symhist_entry to pave the
way to have that.

Committer notes:

This initial patch will only introduce the struct sym_hist_entry and use
only the nr_samples member, which makes the code clearer and paves the
way to save the period as well.

Replacing prefixcmp(), same purpose, inverted result, so standardize on
the kernel variant, to reduce silly differences among tools/ and the
kernel sources, making it easier for people to work in both codebases.

And then doing:

	if (strstarts(option, "no-"))

Looks clearer than doing:

	if (!prefixcmp(option, "no-"))

To figure out if option starts witn "no-".

Avoiding a loop, so now its quite convenient to ssh to a machine and
then simply do:

	# perf trace

To trace all syscalls without causing a loop.

This was possible using --filter-pids, i.e. once you noticed the loop,
get the sshd pid and add it to --filter-pids, restarting the 'perf
trace'.

Now to figure out how to do that in a X terminal, the other common
scenario, which is way more involved, as there are multiple processes
communicating to process terminal activity...

Using --filter-pids + '-e \!syscall,names,you,dont,need' may be a good
approximation when having to do syswide tracing on your workstation.

No change in functionality, just to make clearer that what we want when
filtering the tracer pid in a system wide tracing session is to avoid a
feedback loop.

This also paves the way for a more interesting loop avoidance algorithm,
one that tries to figure out if we are in a ssh session, xterm, etc.

We'll also have to fix the argument ordering in different arches,
probably having multiple syscall_fmt entries with each possible order
and then use perf_evsel__env_arch() (if dealing with a perf.data file)
or the current system info, for live sessions.

So that we make sure we have recent enough defines for things
such as 'perf trace' system call argument beautifiers.

For instance, the 'clone' syscall argument 'flag' needs to use
CLONE_NEWCGROUP, and that is not available in RHEL7.

All callers now can use syscall__arg_val(arg, idx), be it to iterate
thru the syscall arguments while taking into account alignment, or to
get values for other arguments that affect how the current argument
should be formatted (think of fcntl's 'cmd' and 'arg' arguments).

Previously we only used the syscall_fmt when we had sc->tp_format set,
i.e. when we found the (enter, exit) pair in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

But we really only need to use what is in sc->arg_fmt to apply the arg
beautifiers to the syscall argument values, so do it.

With this we will be able to provide formatters to the "clone" syscall,
which doesn't have entries in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.13-20170718' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

- Initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
  namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. We still need to work
  more to deal with namespaces that vanish before we can get the
  needed data to do analysis, but this should be as good as what is
  in bcc now (Krister Johansen)

- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

  Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
  file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate
  TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have
  it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)

  Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:

       │   ┌──cmpl   $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
 81.93 │   ├──je     20
       │   │  lock   cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
       │   │↓ jne    29
       │   │↓ jmp    43
 11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

  That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be
  considered together.

- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about
  in callchain entries (Jin Yao)

  Example from one of Jin's patches:

  # perf record -g -j any,save_type
  # perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

  38.50%  div.c:45                [.] main                    div

             __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)

- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense
  that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of
  some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd
  dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted.
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Infrastructure changes:

Vendor events changes:

- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)

The root cause of the bug is that the following commit:

  487f05e1 ("perf/core: Optimize event rescheduling on active contexts")

erronously assumed that event's 'pinned' setting determines whether the
event belongs to a pinned group or not, but in fact, it's the group
leader's pinned state that matters.

This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction
counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not;
in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events'
periods), but should be the same within the error margin.

Fix the problem by looking at the group leader's pinning.

Show branch type in callchain entry. The branch type is printed
with other LBR information (such as cycles/abort/...).

For example:

  perf record -g -j any,save_type
  perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

  38.50%  div.c:45                [.] main                    div

             __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)

Change log

v6: Remove the branch_type_str() since it's moved to branch.c.

v5: Rewrite the branch info print code in util/callchain.c.

v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:

Show the branch type statistics at the end of perf report --stdio.

For example:

  perf report --stdio

  COND_FWD:  28.5%
  COND_BWD:   9.4%
  CROSS_4K:   0.7%
  CROSS_2M:  14.1%
      COND:  37.9%
    UNCOND:   0.2%
       IND:   6.7%
      CALL:  26.5%
       RET:  28.7%
    SYSRET:   0.0%

  The branch types are:

   COND_FWD: conditional forward
   COND_BWD: conditional backward
       COND: conditional branch
     UNCOND: unconditional branch
        IND: indirect
       CALL: function call
     IND_CALL: indirect function call
        RET: function return
    SYSCALL: syscall
     SYSRET: syscall return
  COND_CALL: conditional function call
   COND_RET: conditional function return

CROSS_4K and CROSS_2M:

They are the metrics checking for branches cross 4K or 2MB pages.
It's an approximate computing. We don't know if the area is 4K or
2MB, so always compute both.

To make the output simple, if a branch crosses 2M area, CROSS_4K
will not be incremented.

Change log

v7: Since the common branch type definitions are changed, some
    tags/strings are updated accordingly.

v6: Remove branch_type_stat_display() since it's moved to branch.c.

v5: Remove the unnecessary sort__mode checking in
    hist_iter__branch_callback().

v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:

Add the computing of JCC forward/JCC backward and cross page checking
by using the from and to addresses.
