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

perf trace:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Reuse the strace-like syscall_arg_fmt->scnprintf() beautification routines
(convert integer arguments into strings, like open flags, etc) in tracepoint
arguments.

For now the type based scnprintf routines (pid_t, umode_t, etc) and the
ones based in well known arg name based ("fd", etc) gets associated with
tracepoint args of that type.

A tracepoint only arg, "msr", for the msr:{write,read}_msr gets added as
an initial step.

- Introduce syscall_arg_fmt->strtoul() methods to be the reverse operation
of ->scnprintf(), i.e. to go from a string to an integer.

- Implement --filter, just like in 'perf record', that affects the tracepoint
events specied thus far in the command line, use the ->strtoul() methods
to allow strings in tables associated with beautifiers to the integers
the in-kernel tracepoint (eBPF later) filters expect, e.g.:

- Default to not using libtraceevent and its plugins for beautifying
tracepoint arguments, since now we're reusing the strace-like beatufiers.
Use --libtraceevent_print (using just --libtrace is unambiguous and can
be used as a short hand) to go back to those beautifiers.

This will help in the transition, as can be seen in some of the sched tracepoints
that still need some work in the libbeauty based mode:

- Make -v (verbose) mode be honoured for .perfconfig based trace.add_events,
to help in diagnosing problems with building eBPF events (-e source.c).

- When using eBPF syscall payload augmentation do not show strace-like
syscalls when all the user specified was some tracepoint event, bringing
the behaviour in line with that of when not using eBPF augmentation.

Intel PT:

Adrian Hunter:

- Add LookupModel, HBoxLayout, VBoxLayout, global time range calculations
so as to add a time chart by CPU.

- Allow --time (to specify a time span of interest) with --reltime

perf diff:

Jin Yao:

- Report noise for cycles diff, i.e. a histogram + stddev.
(timestamps relative to start).

Björn Töpel:

- Fixup fallout of using tools/perf/perf-sys. from outside tools/perf.

Core:

Ian Rogers:

- Avoid 'sample_reg_masks' being const + weak, as this breaks with some
compilers that constant-propagate from the weak symbol.

libperf:

- First part of moving the perf_mmap class from tools/perf to libperf.

- Propagate CFLAGS to libperf from the tools/perf Makefile.

Vendor events:

- Add entry in MAINTAINERS with reviewers for the for perf tool arm64

perf trace: Allow choosing how to augment the tracepoint arguments

So far we used the libtraceevent printing routines when showing
tracepoint arguments, but since 'perf trace' has a lot of beautifiers
for syscall arguments, and since some of those can be used to augment
tracepoint arguments, add a routine to make use of those beautifiers
and allow the user to choose which one to use.

The default now is to use the same beautifiers used for the strace-like
sys_enter+sys_exit lines, but the user can choose the libtraceevent ones
by either using the:

perf trace --libtraceevent_print

command line option, or by setting:

# cat ~/.perfconfig
[trace]
tracepoint_beautifiers = libtraceevent

For instance, here are some examples:

# perf trace -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "perf", pid: 5273 (perf), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdd06d1140, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.628 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "sleep", prev_pid: 5273 (sleep), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 1, next_comm: "swapper/6", next_pid: 0, next_prio: 120)
1000.879 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.026 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
1001.216 sched:sched_process_exit(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120)
#

And then using libtraceevent, as before:

# perf trace --libtraceevent_print -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=perf pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffeba6c2f40, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.747 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5288 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120)
1000.902 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=sleep pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.012 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
#

The new default allocates an array of 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' for the
tracepoint arguments and, just like with syscall arguments, tries to
find suitable syscall_arg__scnprintf_NAME() routines to augment those
tracepoint arguments based on their type (as in the tracefs "format"
file), or even in their name + type, for instance arguntents with names
ending in "fd" with type "int" get the fd scnprintf beautifier attached,
etc.

Soon this will take advantage of the kernel BTF information to augment
enumerations based on the tracefs "format" type info.

- Support aarch64 random socket_id assignment, just like was fixed for S/390.

tools:

Andy Shevchenko:

- Keep list of tools in alphabetical order on 'make -C tools help'.

perf session:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size, reported by
Vince Weaver using a perf.data fuzzer.

Documentation:

Vince Weaver:

- Clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format in the perf.data spec.

perf config:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Honour $PERF_CONFIG env var to specify alternate .perfconfig.

perf test:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Disable ~/.perfconfig to get default output in 'perf trace' tests.

perf top:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Set display thread COMM to help with debugging.

- Collapse and resort evsels in a group, so that we have output
similar to 'perf report' when using event groups, i.e.

perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'

Will have two columns, and the instructions one will work.

core:

Igor Lubashev:

- Detect if libcap development files are available so that we
can use capabilities to match the checks made by the kernel instead
of using plain (geteuid() == 0).

perf trace:

Leo Yan:

perf config: Document the PERF_CONFIG environment variable

There was a provision for setting this variable, but not the
getenv("PERF_CONFIG") call to set it, as this was fixed in the previous
cset, document that it can be used to ask for using an alternative
.perfconfig file or to disable reading whatever file exists in the
system or home directory, i.e. using:

export PERF_CONFIG=/dev/null
