Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.12-20170503' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent

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

Fixes:

- Support setting probes in versioned user space symbols, such as
pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.1, picking the default one, more work
needed to make it possible to set it on the other versions, as
the 'perf probe' syntax already uses @ for other purposes.
(Paul Clarke)

- Do not special case address zero as an error for routines that
return addresses (symbol lookup), instead use the return as the
success/error indication and pass a pointer to return the address,
fixing 'perf test vmlinux' (the one that compares address between
vmlinux and kallsyms) on s/390, where the '_text' address is equal
to zero (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure changes:

- More header sanitization, moving stuff out of util.h into
more appropriate headers and objects and sometimes creating
new ones (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Refactor a duplicated code for obtaining config file name (Taeung Song)

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

"Kernel side changes:

- Intel PT enhancements. (Takao Indoh)

- AMD cache events fix. (Vince Weaver)

Tons of tooling changes:

- Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line
(Namhyung Kim)

- perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has
grouped events, try it with:

# perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ]
# perf report

- Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:

Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.

Simple example:

$ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

1,134,996 cycles

0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat report

Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':

1,134,996 cycles

0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

$

It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:

$ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
-1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
[acme@ssdandy linux]$

An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.

- Make command line options always available, even when they depend
on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
options (Wang Nan)

- Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)

- Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
(Russell King)

- Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read. (Taeung
Song)

- Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
Nan)

- BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)

Testing some of these new BPF features:

Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
kernel, at arbitrary place.

- Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
explodes, please tell us!

- Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

E.g:

# perf report | grep -v ^# | head
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
|
---cpu_startup_entry
|
|--12.07%--start_secondary
|
--6.30%--rest_init
start_kernel
x86_64_start_reservations
x86_64_start_kernel
#

Becomes, in "folded" mode:

# perf report -g folded | grep -v ^# | head -5
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
12.07% cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
6.30% cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-2.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

- Add record.build-id config option to 'perf record', to allow configuring
in the ~/.perfconfig file if and how build-ids should be processed, allowing
a permanent setting for options such as -B and -N: (Namhyung Kim)

$ perf record -h -B -N

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-B, --no-buildid do not collect buildids in perf.data
-N, --no-buildid-cache do not update the buildid cache

$

Infrastructure changes:

- Move code for options parsing and subcommand handling from tools/perf/
to tools/lib/subcmd/, so that it can be used by other tools/ living
utilities (Josh Poimboeuf)

perf tools: Move strlcpy() from perf to tools/lib/string.c

strlcpy() will be needed by the subcmd library. Move it to the shared
tools/lib/string.c file which can be used by other tools.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' 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:

- Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using
DWARF info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang, Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang Nan)

- BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section name,
separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)

Testing some of these new BPF features:

Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
kernel, at arbitrary place.

# cat ssl.bpf.c
#define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))

struct pt_regs;

SEC("func=__inet_lookup_established hnum")
int func(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned short port)
{
return err == 0 && port == 443;
}

#

Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what variables can
be collected at any given point, experiment first collecting without a filter,
then filter, use it together with 'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without
callchains, if it explodes, please tell us!

- Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry, facilitating
'perf report' output processing by other tools, such as Brendan Gregg's
flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

E.g:

# perf report | grep -v ^# | head
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
|
---cpu_startup_entry
|
|--12.07%--start_secondary
|
--6.30%--rest_init
start_kernel
x86_64_start_reservations
x86_64_start_kernel
#

Becomes, in "folded" mode:

# perf report -g folded | grep -v ^# | head -5
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
12.07% cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
6.30% cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
16.90% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] call_cpuidle
11.23% call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
5.67% call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
16.90% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpuidle_enter
11.23% cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
5.67% cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
15.12% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpuidle_enter_state
#

The user can also select one of "count", "period" or "percent" as the first column.

Infrastructure changes:

- Fix multiple leaks found with Valgrind and a refcount
debugger (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Add further 'perf test' entries for BPF and LLVM (Wang Nan)

- Improve 'perf test' to suport subtests, so that the series of tests
performed in the LLVM and BPF main tests appear in the default 'perf test'
output (Wang Nan)

- Move memdup() from tools/perf to tools/lib/string.c (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Adopt strtobool() from the kernel into tools/lib/ (Wang Nan)

- Fix selftests_install tools/ Makefile rule (Kevin Hilman)
