Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo reported segfault on stat of event group in repeat
mode:

  # perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' -r 10 ls

It's caused by memory corruption due to not cleaned evsel's id array and
index, which needs to be rebuilt in every stat iteration. Currently the
ids index grows, while the array (which is also not freed) has the same
size.

Fixing this by releasing id array and zeroing ids index in
perf_evsel__close function.

We also need to keep the evsel_list alive for stat record (which is
disabled in repeat mode).

Konstantin reported problem with default perf record command, which
fails on some AMD servers, because of the default maximum precise
config.

The current fallback mechanism counts on getting ENOTSUP errno for
precise_ip fails, but that's not the case on some AMD servers.

We can fix this by removing the errno check completely, because the
precise_ip fallback is separated. We can just try  (if requested by
evsel->precise_max) all possible precise_ip, and if one succeeds we win,
if not, we continue with standard fallback.

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.

This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.

Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

Those are not in that file in the git repo, lets move it from there so
that we get that sane ctype code fully isolated to allow getting it in
sync either with the git sources or better with the kernel sources
(include/linux/ctype.h + lib/ctype.h), that way we can use
check_headers.h to get notified when changes are made in the original
code so that we can cherry-pick.

In which case it simply returns "unknown", like when it can't figure out
the evsel->name value.

This makes this code more robust and fixes a problem in 'perf trace'
where a NULL evsel was being passed to a routine that only used the
evsel for printing its name when a invalid syscall id was passed.

One can just record callchains in the kernel or user space with this new
options.

We can use it together with "--all-kernel" options.

This two options is used just like print_stack(sys) or print_ustack(usr)
for systemtap.

Shown below is the usage of this new option combined with "--all-kernel"
options:

1. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
   kernel callchains.

  $ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --kernel-callchains

2. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
   user callchains.

  $ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --user-callchains

Committer notes:

Improved documentation to state that asking for kernel callchains really
is asking for excluding user callchains, and vice versa.

Further mentioned that using both won't get both, but nothing, as both
will be excluded.

When DWARF stacks were requested and at the same time that the user
specifies a register set using the --user-regs option the full register
context was being captured on samples:

I.e. the --user-regs=IP,SP,BP was being ignored, being overridden by the
needs of --call-graph=dwarf.

After applying the change in this patch the sample data contains the
user specified register, but making sure that at least the minimal set
of register needed for DWARF unwinding (DWARF_MINIMAL_REGS) is
requested.

The user is warned that DWARF unwinding may not work if extra registers
end up being needed.

  -g call-graph dwarf,K --user-regs=user_regs	user_regs + DWARF_MINIMAL_REGS

  $ perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 --user-regs=BP -- ls
  WARNING: The use of --call-graph=dwarf may require all the user registers, specifying a subset with --user-regs may render DWARF unwinding unreliable, so the minimal registers set (IP, SP) is explicitly forced.

Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.

We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level.

This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for
    this new qualifier.
 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch

 v3:
 ---
 Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments.
 Before:
   "return term->val.percore ? true : false;"
 Now:
   "return term->val.percore;"

 v2:
 ---
 Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to
 comments from Jiri and Andi.

After a discussion with Andi, move the perf_event_attr.precise_ip
detection for maximum precise config (via :P modifier or for default
cycles event) to perf_evsel__open().

The current detection in perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() is
tricky, because precise_ip config is specific for given event and it
currently checks only hw cycles.

We now check for valid precise_ip value right after failing
sys_perf_event_open() for specific event, before any of the
perf_event_attr fallback code gets executed.

This way we get the proper config in perf_event_attr together with
allowed precise_ip settings.

We can see that code activity with -vv, like:

  $ perf record -vv ls
  ...

Currently, monitoring of BPF programs through bpf_event is off by
default for 'perf record'.

To turn it on, the user need to use option "--bpf-event".  As BPF gets
wider adoption in different subsystems, this option becomes
inconvenient.

This patch makes bpf_event on by default, and adds option "--no-bpf-event"
to turn it off. Since option --bpf-event is not released yet, it is safe
to remove it.

The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite
some time because scaling is default.

It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling
code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output
code relies on value run/ena information.

Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show
its multiplex percentage.

This patch:
  - Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c
  - Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives.
  - Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale
  - And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.

Currently we probe for precise_ip with user specified perf_event_attr,
which might fail because of unsupported kernel features, which would get
disabled during the open time anyway.

Switching the probe to take place on simple hw cycles, so the following
record sets proper precise_ip:

  # perf record -e cycles:P ls
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:P: size: 112, ... precise_ip: 3, ...

This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT.  Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.

Committer notes:

Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.

Remove the needless include <machine.h> from bpf->event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.

Committer testing:

When running with:

 # perf record --bpf-event

On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:

And then proceeds to work without those two features.

As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.

Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ]

This patch handles PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL in perf record/report.
Specifically, map and symbol are created for ksymbol register, and
removed for ksymbol unregister.

This patch also sets perf_event_attr.ksymbol properly. The flag is ON by
default.

Committer notes:

Use proper inttypes.h for u64, fixing the build in some environments
like in the android NDK r15c targetting ARM 32-bit.

I.e. fixing this build error:

  util/event.c: In function 'perf_event__fprintf_ksymbol':
  util/event.c:1489:10: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64' [-Werror=format=]
            event->ksymbol_event.flags, event->ksymbol_event.name);

We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array,
which is not defined at that time. Fix this by forcing the id allocation
for events with their unit defined.

Andi reported following malfunction:

That's because we disable sample_id_all bit for non-sampling group
members. We can't do that, because it needs to be the same over the
whole event list. This patch keeps it untouched again.

Because there may be more such events in the ring buffer that should be
discarded when an app decides to stop considering them.

At some point we'll do this with eBPF, this way we stop them at origin,
before they are placed in the ring buffer.

This simply adds the field to 'struct perf_evsel' and allows setting
it via the event parser, to test it lets trace trace:

First look at where in a function that receives an evsel we can put a probe
to read how evsel->max_events was setup:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L trace__event_handler
  <trace__event_handler@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/builtin-trace.c:0>
        0  static int trace__event_handler(struct trace *trace, struct perf_evsel *evsel,
                                          union perf_event *event __maybe_unused,
                                          struct perf_sample *sample)
        3  {
        4         struct thread *thread = machine__findnew_thread(trace->host, sample->pid, sample->tid);
        5         int callchain_ret = 0;

        7         if (sample->callchain) {
        8                 callchain_ret = trace__resolve_callchain(trace, evsel, sample, &callchain_cursor);
        9                 if (callchain_ret == 0) {
       10                         if (callchain_cursor.nr < trace->min_stack)
       11                                 goto out;
       12                         callchain_ret = 1;
                          }
                  }

See what variables we can probe at line 7:

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -V trace__event_handler:7
  Available variables at trace__event_handler:7
          @<trace__event_handler+89>
                  int     callchain_ret
                  struct perf_evsel*      evsel
                  struct perf_sample*     sample
                  struct thread*  thread
                  struct trace*   trace
                  union perf_event*       event

Add a probe at that line asking for evsel->max_events to be collected and named
as "max_events":

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf trace__event_handler:7 'max_events=evsel->max_events'
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:trace__event_handler (on trace__event_handler:7 in /home/acme/bin/perf with max_events=evsel->max_events)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_perf:trace__event_handler -aR sleep 1

Now use 'perf trace', here aliased to just 'trace' and trace trace, i.e.
the first 'trace' is tracing just that 'probe_perf:trace__event_handler' event,
while the traced trace is tracing all scheduler tracepoints, will stop at two
events (--max-events 2) and will just set evsel->max_events for all the sched
tracepoints to 9, we will see the output of both traces intermixed:

  # trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
       0.000 :0/0 sched:sched_waking:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
       0.009 :0/0 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=rcu_sched pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
       0.000 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
       0.046 trace/23949 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
  #

Now, if the traced trace sends its output to /dev/null, we'll see just
what the first level trace outputs: that evsel->max_events is indeed
being set to 9:

  # trace -e *perf:*event_handler trace -o /dev/null --max-events 2 -e sched:*/nr=9/
       0.000 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
       0.030 trace/23961 probe_perf:trace__event_handler:(48c34a) max_events=0x9
  #

Now that we can set evsel->max_events, we can go to the next step, honour that
per-event property in 'perf trace'.

'perf record' will error out if both --delay and LBR are applied.

For example:

  # perf record -D 1000 -a -e cycles -j any -- sleep 2
  Error:
  dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
  Try 'perf stat'
  #

A dummy event is added implicitly for initial delay, which has the same
configurations as real sampling events. The dummy event is a software
event. If LBR is configured, perf must error out.

The dummy event will only be used to track PERF_RECORD_MMAP while perf
waits for the initial delay to enable the real events. The BRANCH_STACK
bit can be safely cleared for the dummy event.

After applying the patch:

  # perf record -D 1000 -a -e cycles -j any -- sleep 2
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.054 MB perf.data (828 samples) ]
