For further work on perf_target, it'd be better off splitting the code
into a separate file.

The perf_target struct will be used for taking care of cpu/thread maps
based on user's input. Since it is used on various subcommands it'd
better factoring it out.
Thanks to Arnaldo for suggesting the better name.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:
- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)
This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.
The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy
$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf
This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.
This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.
- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.
- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:
perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485
- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.
- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
...
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.
This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.
- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.
- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.
- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.
- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).
- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.
- 'perf bench' improvements
- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements

On ancient systems I get this build failure:
util/../../../arch/x86/include/asm/unistd.h:67:29: error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory
In file included from util/cache.h:7,
from builtin-test.c:8:
util/../perf.h: In function ‘sys_perf_event_open’:In file included from util/../perf.h:16
perf.h:170: error: ‘__NR_perf_event_open’ undeclared (first use in this function)
The reason is that this old system does not have the split
unistd.h headers yet, from which to pick up the syscall
definitions.
Add the syscall numbers to the already existing i386 and x86_64
blocks in perf.h, and also provide empty include file stubs.
With this patch perf builds and works fine on 5 years old
user-space as well.

This patch adds a new option to enable taken branch stack
sampling, i.e., leverage the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature
of perf_events.
There is a new option to active this mode: -b.
It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of
branches to sample.
The following filters are available:
- any : any type of branches
- any_call : any function call or system call
- any_ret : any function return or system call return
- any_ind : any indirect branch
- u: only when the branch target is at the user level
- k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
- hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor
Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list
to the option:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

Just fall back to resetting those fields, if set, warning the user that
that feature is not available.
If guest samples appear they will just be discarded because no struct
machine will be found and thus the event will be accounted as not
handled and dropped, see 0c09571.

Instead of requiring that users of perf_record_opts set
.sample_id_all_avail to true, just invert the logic, using
.sample_id_all_missing, that doesn't need to be explicitely initialized
since gcc will zero members ommitted in a struct initialization.
Just like the newly introduced .exclude_{guest,host} feature test.

The perf_event_attr size needs to be initialized in all cases because it
captures the ABI version.
This patch moves the initialization of the field from the
perf_event_open() syscall stub to its proper location in the
event_attr_init().

Allow a user to collect events for multiple threads or processes
using a comma separated list.
e.g., collect data on a VM and its vhost thread:
perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485
or monitoring vcpu threads
perf top -t 21488,21489
perf stat -t 21488,21489 -ddd
perf record -t 21488,21489

The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates
a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these
samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a
defined limit.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second
case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process
sleeps in both places equal time.
Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As
result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and
we avoid throttling of samples.
The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a
kernel part of this functionality.

The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
what was recorded, on what machine and when.
This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The
change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.
We define the following useful new extensions:
- HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
- HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
- HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
- HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
- HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
- HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
- HEADER_VERSION: perf version
- HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
- HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
- HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication
The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
ASCII strings.
Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
topology may be requested with the -I option.
Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
this patch.

The Thumb-2 instruction set does not provide an encoding
for sub pc, r0, #95 as present in the rmb() definition used
by perf. This results in compilation failure when using a
compiler targetting an instruction set other than ARM.
This patch redefines rmb() for ARM by casting the address
of the kuser helper to a function pointer, therefore getting
the compiler to take care of making the call.
Patch taken against tip/master.

Add definitions of rmb() and cpu_relax() and include the ARM
unistd.h header. The __kuser_memory_barrier helper in the helper
page is used to provide the correct memory barrier depending on
the CPU type.
[ The rmb() will work on v6 and v7, segfault on v5. Dynamic
detection to add v5 support will be added later. ]

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Add basic P6 PMU support. The P6 uses the EVNTSEL0 EN bit to
enable/disable both its counters. We use this for the
global enable/disable, and clear all config bits (except EN)
to disable individual counters.
Actual ia32 hardware doesn't support lfence, so use a locked
op without side-effect to implement a full barrier.
perf stat and perf record seem to function correctly.

We plan to display the callchains depending on some user-configurable
parameters.
To gather the callchains stats from the recorded stream in a fast way,
this patch introduces an ad hoc radix tree adapted for callchains and also
a rbtree to sort these callchains once we have gathered every events
from the stream.

On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.
Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.
The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__". The other changes are:
* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
to kill two remaining warnings.

Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way.
We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying
the full structure size inside it.
When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail.
When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail
consists of 0s, otherwise fail.
If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's
native attribe size back into the provided structure.
Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter
creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in
the __reserved fields).
(This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)
