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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:

- Add branch type profiling/tracing support. (Jin Yao)

- Add the PERF_SAMPLE_PHYS_ADDR ABI to allow the tracing/profiling of
physical memory addresses, where the PMU supports it. (Kan Liang)

- Export some PMU capability details in the new
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/caps/ sysfs directory. (Andi
Kleen)

- Aux data fixes and updates (Will Deacon)

- kprobes fixes and updates (Masami Hiramatsu)

- AMD uncore PMU driver fixes and updates (Janakarajan Natarajan)

On the tooling side, here's a (limited!) list of highlights - there
were many other changes that I could not list, see the shortlog and
git history for details:

UI improvements:

- 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

namespaces support:

- Add initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. (Krister Johansen)

perf trace enhancements:

- Beautify pkey_{alloc,free,mprotect} arguments in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add initial 'clone' syscall args beautifier in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Ignore 'fd' and 'offset' args for MAP_ANONYMOUS in 'perf trace'
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events. (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)

- Add PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_RECORD_MMAP[2] to 'perf data'
CTF conversion, allowing CTF trace visualization tools to show
callchains and to resolve symbols (Geneviève Bastien)

- 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

perf stat enhancements:

- Use group read for event groups in 'perf stat', reducing overhead
when groups are defined in the event specification, i.e. when using
{} to enclose a list of events, asking them to be read at the same
time, e.g.: "perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}'" (Jiri Olsa)

pipe mode improvements:

- Process tracing data in 'perf annotate' pipe mode (David
Carrillo-Cisneros)

- 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)

Vendor specific hardware event support updates/enhancements:

- Update POWER9 vendor events tables (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)

- Add POWER9 PMU events Sukadev (Bhattiprolu)

- Support additional POWER8+ PVR in PMU mapfile (Shriya)

- Add Skylake server uncore JSON vendor events (Andi Kleen)

- Support exporting Intel PT data to sqlite3 with python perf
scripts, this is in addition to the postgresql support that was
already there (Adrian Hunter)"

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

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:

- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.

This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)

(Alexei Starovoitov)

- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.

This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:

- cluster wide profiling

- for system wide tracing with user-space events,

- JIT profiling events

etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.

(Peter Zijlstra)

Hardware enablement kernel changes:

- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.

The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.

This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.

(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)

- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.

These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)

(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)

- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:

perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report

or:

perf top --call-graph lbr

This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:

- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.

- It is only available for user-space callchains.

(Yan, Zheng)

- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.

(Andi Kleen)

- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.

(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:

User visible changes affecting all tools:

- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

User visible changes in individual tools:

'perf data':

New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)

'perf diff':

Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)

'perf list':

Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)

Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)

'perf kmem':

Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)

Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)

Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)

Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)

'perf probe':

Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)

Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)

Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)

'perf record':

Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)

'perf sched':

Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)

'perf report' and 'perf top':

Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)

Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

'perf stat':

Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)

Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)

'perf trace':

Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -
