perf kretprobes: Offset from reloc_sym if kernel supports it

We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a
line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the
appropriate format for kprobe_events.

As an example, without this perf patch, but with the ftrace changes:

naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README | grep kretprobe

New features:

- Allow sorting by symbol_size in 'perf report' and 'perf top' (Charles Baylis)

E.g.:

# perf report -s symbol_size,symbol

Samples: 9K of event 'cycles:k', Event count (approx.): 2870461623

1.66% 1017 [k] release_pages
1.57% 1636 [k] update_blocked_averages
1.57% 76 [k] unlock_page

- Add support for -p/--pid, -a/--all-cpus and -C/--cpu in 'perf ftrace' (Namhyung Kim)

Change in behaviour:

- Make system wide (-a) the default option if no target was specified and one
of following conditions is met:

- No workload specified (current behaviour)

- A workload is specified but all requested events are system wide ones,
like uncore ones. (Jiri Olsa)

Fixes:

- Add missing initialization to the instruction decoder used in the
intel PT/BTS code, which was causing lots of failures in 'perf test',
looking for a value when there was none (Adrian Hunter)

Infrastructure changes:

- Add arch code needed to adopt the kernel's refcount_t to aid in
catching bugs when using atomic_t as a reference counter, basically
cmpxchg related functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Convert the code using atomic_t as reference counts to refcount_t
(Elena Rashetova)

- Add feature test for sched_getcpu() to more easily check for its
presence in the many libc implementations and accross different
versions of such C libraries (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Issue a HW watchdog disable hint in 'perf stat' for when some of the
requested events can't get counted because a PMU counter is taken by that
watchdog (Borislav Petkov).

- Add mapping for Intel's KnightsMill PMU events (Karol Wachowski)

Documentation changes:

- Clarify the term 'convergence' in:

perf bench numa numa-mem -h --show_convergence (Jiri Olsa)

Kernel code changes:

- Ensure probe location is at function entry in kretprobes (Naveen N. Rao)

- Allow return probes with offsets and absolute addresses (Naveen N. Rao)

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main kernel side changes were:

- uprobes enhancements (Masami Hiramatsu)

- x86 Intel: Add support for PTWRITE and power event tracing
(Alexander Shishkin)

- ... various fixes, cleanups and smaller enhancements.

- Support event group view with hierarchy mode in 'perf top' and
'perf report' (Namhyung Kim)

e.g.:

$ perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' make
$ perf report --hierarchy --stdio

- Add branch stack / basic block info to 'perf annotate --stdio',
where for each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction
with information on how often it was taken and predicted. See
example with color output at:

- Add support for using symbols in address filters with Intel PT and
ARM CoreSight (hardware assisted tracing facilities) (Adrian

- Add support for interacting with Coresight PMU ETMs/PTMs, that are
IP blocks to perform hardware assisted tracing on a ARM CPU core
(Mathieu Poirier)

- Support generating cross arch probes, i.e. if you specify a vmlinux
file for different arch than the one in the host machine,

$ perf probe --definition function_name args

will generate the probe definition string needed to append to the
target machine /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobes_events file, using
scripting (Masami Hiramatsu).

- Allow configuring the default 'perf report -s' sort order in

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 probe: Allow wildcard for cached events

Allo glob wildcard for reusing cached/SDT events. E.g.

# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so -a %sdt_libc:\*

This example adds probes for all SDT in libc.
Note that the SDTs must have been scanned by perf buildid-cache.

Committer note:

Using it to check what of those SDT probes would take place when doing
a cargo run (rust):

# trace --no-sys --event sdt_libc:* cargo run
