Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar: "With over 300 commits it's been a busy cycle - with most of the work concentrated on the tooling side (as it should).
The main kernel side enhancements were:
- Add per event callchain limit: Recently we introduced a sysctl to tune the max-stack for all events for which callchains were requested:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_max_stack kernel.perf_event_max_stack = 127
Now this patch introduces a way to configure this per event, i.e. this becomes possible:
$ perf record -e sched:*/max-stack=2/ -e block:*/max-stack=10/ -a
allowing finer tuning of how much buffer space callchains use.
This uses an u16 from the reserved space at the end, leaving another u16 for future use.
There has been interest in even finer tuning, namely to control the max stack for kernel and userspace callchains separately. Further discussion is needed, we may for instance use the remaining u16 for that and when it is present, assume that the sample_max_stack introduced in this patch applies for the kernel, and the u16 left is used for limiting the userspace callchain (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Optimize AUX event (hardware assisted side-band event) delivery (Kan Liang)
- Rework Intel family name macro usage (this is partially x86 arch work) (Dave Hansen)
- Refine and fix Intel LBR support (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Add support for Intel 'TopDown' events (Andi Kleen)
- Intel uncore PMU driver fixes and enhancements (Kan Liang)
- ... other misc changes.
Here's an incomplete list of the tooling enhancements (but there's much more, see the shortlog and the git log for details):
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do:
$ perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a x86_64 workstation (He Kuang)
- Allow reading from a backward ring buffer (one setup via sys_perf_event_open() with perf_event_attr.write_backward = 1) (Wang Nan)
- Finish merging initial SDT (Statically Defined Traces) support, see cset comments for details about how it all works (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Support attaching eBPF programs to tracepoints (Wang Nan)
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language (David Tolnay)
- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events, tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add 'callindent' option to 'perf script -F', to indent the Intel PT call stack, making this output more ftrace-like (Adrian Hunter, Andi Kleen)
- Allow dumping the object files generated by llvm when processing eBPF scriptlet events (Wang Nan)
- Add stackcollapse.py script to help generating flame graphs (Paolo Bonzini)
- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
- Tooling support for Intel TopDown counters, recently added to the kernel (Andi Kleen)"
* 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (303 commits) perf tests: Add is_printable_array test perf tools: Make is_printable_array global perf script python: Fix string vs byte array resolving perf probe: Warn unmatched function filter correctly perf cpu_map: Add more helpers perf stat: Balance opening and reading events tools: Copy linux/{hash,poison}.h and check for drift perf tools: Remove include/linux/list.h from perf's MANIFEST tools: Copy the bitops files accessed from the kernel and check for drift Remove: kernel unistd*h files from perf's MANIFEST, not used perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/linux/const.h perf tools: Remove tools/perf/util/include/asm/byteorder.h perf tools: Add missing linux/compiler.h include to perf-sys.h perf jit: Remove some no-op error handling perf jit: Add missing curly braces objtool: Initialize variable to silence old compiler objtool: Add -I$(srctree)/tools/arch/$(ARCH)/include/uapi perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used perf tools: Enable overwrite settings ...

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160712' 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:
- Add demangling of symbols in programs written in the Rust language (David Tolnay)
- Add support for tracepoints in the python binding, including an example, that sets up and parses sched:sched_switch events, tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py (Jiri Olsa)
- Introduce --stdio-color to set up the color output mode selection in 'annotate' and 'report', allowing emit color escape sequences when redirecting the output of these tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Infrastructure changes:
- Various tweaks to allow the 'perf trace' beautifiers to build without using kernel headers and in a wider range of Linux distributions/releases (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Stop using kernel source files, instead copy what is needed and check when the original kernel source file gets modified, warning the developers about it. This helps in building the tool in older systems and even in recent ones, for just added kernel features for which ABI details (struct changes, defines, etc) still are not available on system headers (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Be consistent in how to use strerror_r, adding a wrapper that makes sure that it returns a pointer to passed buffer, and using the XSI variant, that is available in more libc implementations (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Avoid checking code drift on busibox's diff perf intel-pt-decoder, as it doesn't have the '-I' command line switch to check for regexps (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add missing headers in various places (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Remove unneeded headers from various other places (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add feature detection for gelf_getnote(), disabling SDT support if not present (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix oddities with GCC 5.3.0 by initializing some variables (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- With those changes in place perf now builds on Alpine Linux 3.4, in addition to on centos (5, 6, 7), debian (7, 8, experimental), fedora (21, 22, 23, 24, rawhide), mageia 5, opensuse (13.2, 42.1) and ubuntu (12.04.5, 14.04.4, 15.10, 16.04) and will be test build on those systems prior to future pull requests.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()
The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is returned.

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

- Intel Knights Landing support. (Harish Chegondi)
- Intel Broadwell-EP uncore PMU support. (Kan Liang)
- Core code improvements. (Peter Zijlstra.)
- Event filter, LBR and PEBS fixes. (Stephane Eranian)

- Add cycles:ppp support for Skylake. (Andi Kleen)
- Various x86 NMI overhead optimizations. (Andi Kleen)
- 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 # Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }' # Event count (approx.): 1955219195 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol

- 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 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.
... and lots of infrastructure enhancements, plus fixes and other changes, features I failed to list - see the shortlog and the git log for details"
