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.

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:

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:

New features:

- Allow using trace events fields as sort order keys, making 'perf evlist --trace_fields'
show those, and then the user can select a subset and use like:

perf top -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm,next_comm

That works as well in 'perf report' when handling files containing
tracepoints.

The default when just tracepoint events are found in a perf.data file is to
format it like ftrace, using the libtraceevent formatters, plugins, etc (Namhyung Kim)

- Add support in 'perf script' to process 'perf stat record' generated files,
culminating in a python perf script that calculates CPI (Cycles per
Instruction) (Jiri Olsa)

- 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) ]

User visible fixes:

- Coect data mmaps so that the DWARF unwinder can handle usecases needing them,
like softice (Jiri Olsa)

- Decay callchains in fractal mode, fixing up cases where 'perf top -g' would
show entries with more than 100% (Namhyung Kim)

Infrastructure changes:

- Sync tools/lib with the lib/ in the kernel sources for find_bit.c and
move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/util/ to tools/lib/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- No need to set attr.sample_freq in some 'perf test' entries that only
want to deal with PERF_RECORD_ meta-events, improve a bit error output
for CQM test (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix python binding build, adding some missing object files now required
due to cpumap using find_bit stuff (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- tools/build improvemnts (Jiri Olsa)

- Add more files to cscope/ctags databases (Jiri Olsa)

- Do not show 'trace' in 'perf help' if it is not compiled in (Jiri Olsa)

- Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads,
like perf record does, making them consistent (Adrian Hunter)

- Fix pmu snapshot initialization bug (Stephane Eranian)

- Add missing headers in perf's MANIFEST (Wang Nan)

perf tests: Pass the subtest index to each test routine

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.

Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
like the one in RHEL6, where:

test a = {
.func = foo,
};

fails.

To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

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 mostly consist of work on x86 PMU drivers:

- x86 Intel PT (hardware CPU tracer) improvements (Alexander
Shishkin)

- x86 Intel CQM (cache quality monitoring) improvements (Thomas
Gleixner)

- x86 Intel PEBSv3 support (Peter Zijlstra)

- x86 Intel PEBS interrupt batching support for lower overhead
sampling (Zheng Yan, Kan Liang)

- x86 PMU scheduler fixes and improvements (Peter Zijlstra)

There's too many tooling improvements to list them all - here are a
few select highlights:

'perf bench':

- Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to
measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel
locks (hb->lock). (Davidlohr Bueso)

'perf top', 'perf report':

- Allow disabling/enabling events dynamicaly in 'perf top':
a 'perf top' session can instantly become a 'perf report'
one, i.e. going from dynamic analysis to a static one,
returning to a dynamic one is possible, to toogle the
modes, just press 'f' to 'freeze/unfreeze' the sampling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI, allowing interrupting the load of big
perf.data files (Namhyung Kim)

'perf probe': (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Support glob wildcards for function name
- Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments
- Make --line checks validate C-style function name.
- Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions
- Greatly speed up 'perf probe --list' by caching debuginfo.
- Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments
on other commands, as --add, --del, etc.

'perf sched':

- Add option in 'perf sched' to merge like comms to lat output (Josef Bacik)

Plus tons of infrastructure work - in particular preparation for
upcoming threaded perf report support, but also lots of other work -
and fixes and other improvements. See (much) more details in the
shortlog and in the git log"

hierarchy. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Borrow atomic.h from the kernel, initially the x86 implementations
with a fallback to gcc intrinsics for the other arches, all the kernel
like framework in place for doing arch specific implementations,
preferrably cloning what is in the kernel to the greater extent
possible. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Protect the 'struct thread' lifetime with a reference counter,
and protect data structures that contains its instances with
a mutex. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

- Disable libdw DWARF unwind when built with NO_DWARF (Naveen N. Rao)

perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlock

concurrent acces

perf machine: Protect the machine->threads with a rwlock

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from
concurrent access.

That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting
and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays
hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting
threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further
hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references
it.

So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel,
get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock,
return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed,
keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing
that data structure.

I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and
"perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)".

The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to
several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting
for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at
addr_location__put() time.
