5610032135 perf record: Amend option summaries
Because there's too many options and I cannot read, I frequently get
confused between -c and -P, and try to do things like:

  perf record -P 50000 -- foo

Which does not work; try and make the option description slightly longer
and hopefully less confusing.

d7c72606d9 perf tools: Avoid possible race condition in copyfile()
Use unique temporary files when copying to buildid dir to prevent races
in case multiple instances are trying to copy same file. This is done by

- creating template in form <path>/.<filename>.XXXXXX where the suffix is
  used by mkstemp() to create unique file
- change file mode
- copy content
- if successful link temp file to target file
- unlink temp file

At this point the only file left at target path should be the desired
one either created by us or other instance if we raced. This should also
prevent not yet fully copied files to be visible to to other perf
instances that could try to parse them.

On top of that slow_copyfile no longer needs to deal with file mode when
creating file since temporary file is already created and mode is set.

Succesfully tested by myself by running perf record, archive and reading
the data on other system and by running perf buildid-cache on perf
binary itself. I also did revert fix from 0635b0f that to exposes
previously fixed race with EEXIST and recreator test passed sucessfully.

d3a7c489c7 perf tools: Reference count struct dso
This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.

So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

9f2de31542 perf machine: Fix up some more method names
Calling the function 'machine__new_module' implies a new 'module' will
be allocated, when in fact what is returned is a 'struct map' instance,
that not necessarily will be instantiated, as if one already exists with
the given module name, it will be returned instead.

So be consistent with other "find and if not there, create" like
functions, like machine__findnew_thread, machine__findnew_dso, etc, and
rename it to machine__findnew_module_map(), that in turn will call
machine__findnew_module_dso().

e3d09ec812 tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins
Traceevent plugins need dynamic symbols exported from libtraceevent.a,
otherwise a dlopen error will occur during plugins loading.

This patch uses dynamic-list-file to export dynamic symbols which will
be used in plugins to perf executable.

The problem is covered up if feature-libpython is enabled, because
PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS contains '-Xlinker --export-dynamic' which adds all
symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So we should reproduce the problem
by setting NO_LIBPYTHON=1.

c4937a91ea perf tools: handle PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES
This patch modifies the perf tool to handle the new RECORD type,
PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES.

The number of lost-sample events is stored in
.nr_events[PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES]. The exact number of samples
which the kernel dropped is stored in total_lost_samples.

When the percentage of dropped samples is greater than 5%, a warning
is printed.

Here are some examples:

Eg 1, Recording different frequently-occurring events is safe with the
      patch. Only a very low drop rate is associated with such actions.

$ perf record -e '{cycles:p,instructions:p}' -c 20003 --no-time ~/tchain ~/tchain

$ perf report -D | tail
          SAMPLE events:     120243
           MMAP2 events:          5
    LOST_SAMPLES events:         24
  FINISHED_ROUND events:         15
cycles:p stats:
           TOTAL events:      59348
          SAMPLE events:      59348
instructions:p stats:
           TOTAL events:      60895
          SAMPLE events:      60895

$ perf report --stdio --group
 # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
 #

 #
 # Samples: 120K of event 'anon group { cycles:p, instructions:p }'

156174999d perf/intel/x86: Enlarge the PEBS buffer
Currently the PEBS buffer size is 4k, it can only hold about 21
PEBS records. This patch enlarges the PEBS buffer size to 64k
(the same as the BTS buffer).

64k memory can hold about 330 PEBS records. This will significantly
reduce the number of PMIs when batched PEBS interrupts are enabled.

3569c0d7c5 perf/x86/intel: Implement batched PEBS interrupt handling (large PEBS interrupt threshold)
PEBS always had the capability to log samples to its buffers without
an interrupt. Traditionally perf has not used this but always set the
PEBS threshold to one.

For frequently occurring events (like cycles or branches or load/store)
this in term requires using a relatively high sampling period to avoid
overloading the system, by only processing PMIs. This in term increases
sampling error.

For the common cases we still need to use the PMI because the PEBS
hardware has various limitations. The biggest one is that it can not
supply a callgraph. It also requires setting a fixed period, as the
hardware does not support adaptive period. Another issue is that it
cannot supply a time stamp and some other options. To supply a TID it
requires flushing on context switch. It can however supply the IP, the
load/store address, TSX information, registers, and some other things.

So we can make PEBS work for some specific cases, basically as long as
you can do without a callgraph and can set the period you can use this
new PEBS mode.

The main benefit is the ability to support much lower sampling period
(down to -c 1000) without extensive overhead.

One use cases is for example to increase the resolution of the c2c tool.
Another is double checking when you suspect the standard sampling has
too much sampling error.

Some numbers on the overhead, using cycle soak, comparing the elapsed
time from "kernbench -M -H" between plain (threshold set to one) and
multi (large threshold).

The test command for plain:
  "perf record --time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

The test command for multi:
  "perf record --no-time -e cycles:p -c $period -- kernbench -M -H"

( The only difference of test command between multi and plain is time
  stamp options. Since time stamp is not supported by large PEBS
  threshold, it can be used as a flag to indicate if large threshold is
  enabled during the test. )

	period    plain(Sec)  multi(Sec)  Delta
	10003     32.7        16.5        16.2
	20003     30.2        16.2        14.0
	40003     18.6        14.1        4.5
	80003     16.8        14.6        2.2
	100003    16.9        14.1        2.8
	800003    15.4        15.7        -0.3
	1000003   15.3        15.2        0.2
	2000003   15.3        15.1        0.1

With periods below 100003, plain (threshold one) cause much more
overhead. With 10003 sampling period, the Elapsed Time for multi is
even 2X faster than plain.

21509084f9 perf/x86/intel: Handle multiple records in the PEBS buffer
When the PEBS interrupt threshold is larger than one record and the
machine supports multiple PEBS events, the records of these events are
mixed up and we need to demultiplex them.

Demuxing the records is hard because the hardware is deficient. The
hardware has two issues that, when combined, create impossible
scenarios to demux.

The first issue is that the 'status' field of the PEBS record is a copy
of the GLOBAL_STATUS MSR at PEBS assist time. To see why this is a
problem let us first describe the regular PEBS cycle:

A) the CTRn value reaches 0:
  - the corresponding bit in GLOBAL_STATUS gets set
  - we start arming the hardware assist
  < some unspecified amount of time later -- this could cover multiple
    events of interest >

B) the hardware assist is armed, any next event will trigger it

C) a matching event happens:
  - the hardware assist triggers and generates a PEBS record
    this includes a copy of GLOBAL_STATUS at this moment
  - if we auto-reload we (re)set CTRn
  - we clear the relevant bit in GLOBAL_STATUS

Now consider the following chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, C0

The event generated for counter 0 will include a status with counter 1
set, even though its not at all related to the record. A similar thing
can happen with a !PEBS event if it just happens to overflow at the
right moment.

The second issue is that the hardware will only emit one record for two
or more counters if the event that triggers the assist is 'close'. The
'close' can be several cycles. In some cases even the complete assist,
if the event is something that doesn't need retirement.

For instance, consider this chain of events:

  A0, B0, A1, B1, C01

Where C01 is an event that triggers both hardware assists, we will
generate but a single record, but again with both counters listed in the
status field.

This time the record pertains to both events.

Note that these two cases are different but undistinguishable with the
data as generated. Therefore demuxing records with multiple PEBS bits
(we can safely ignore status bits for !PEBS counters) is impossible.

Furthermore we cannot emit the record to both events because that might
cause a data leak -- the events might not have the same privileges -- so
what this patch does is discard such events.

The assumption/hope is that such discards will be rare.

Here lists some possible ways you may get high discard rate.

  - when you count the same thing multiple times. But it is not a useful
    configuration.
  - you can be unfortunate if you measure with a userspace only PEBS
    event along with either a kernel or unrestricted PEBS event. Imagine
    the event triggering and setting the overflow flag right before
    entering the kernel. Then all kernel side events will end up with
    multiple bits set.

851559e35f perf/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible
When a fixed period is specified, this patch makes perf use the PEBS
auto reload mechanism. This makes normal profiling faster, because
it avoids one costly MSR write in the PMI handler.

However, the reset value will be loaded by hardware assist. There is a
small delay compared to the previous non-auto-reload mechanism. The
delay time is arbitrary, but very small. The assist cost is 400-800
cycles, assuming common cases with everything cached. The minimum period
the patch currently uses is 10000. In that extreme case it can be ~10%
if cycles are used.

This is because __kmod_path__parse treats '[' leading names as kernel
name instead of names of kernel module.

If perf.data contains build information and the buildid of such modules
can be found, the dso->kernel of it will be set to DSO_TYPE_KERNEL by
__event_process_build_id(), not kernel module.

It will then be passed to dso__load() -> dso__load_kernel_sym() ->
dso__load_kcore() if --kallsyms is provided.

The refered patch adds NULL pointer checker to avoid segfault. However,
such kernel modules are still processed incorrectly.

This patch fixes __kmod_path__parse, makes it treat names like
'[test_module]' as kernel modules.

kmod-path.c is also update to reflect the above changes.

9ecae065f3 perf tools: Remove newline char when reading event scale and unit
The <fd979c013207> commit intruduced the perf_event_sysfs_show function
to display the event_str value of an attr in kernel/event/core.c. But
the function returns the value with a newline char.

So, if a event also carries a event.unit file, when printing the counter
data perf tool formatting goes for a spin.

That is, because of the event unit, event name is printed in the newline
because of perf_event_sysfs_show returns with a newline char.

Now fixing perf core will break API, hencing proposing a fix in the perf tool.

6bb536cc4b perf probe: Fix segfault when glob matching function without debuginfo
Commit 4c85935122 ("perf probe: Support
glob wildcards for function name") introduces segfault problems when
debuginfo is not available:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
  Added new events:
  Segmentation fault

The first problem resides in find_probe_trace_events_from_map(). In
that function, find_probe_functions() is called to match each symbol
against glob to find the number of matching functions, but still use
map__for_each_symbol_by_name() to find 'struct symbol' for matching
functions. Unfortunately, map__for_each_symbol_by_name() does
exact matching by searching in an rbtree.

It doesn't know glob matching, and not easy for it to support it because
it use rbtree based binary search, but we are unable to ensure all names
matched by the glob (any glob passed by user) reside in one subtree.

This patch drops map__for_each_symbol_by_name(). Since there is no
rbtree again, re-matching all symbols costs a lot. This patch avoid it
by saving all matching results into an array (syms).

The second problem is the lost of tp->realname. In
__add_probe_trace_events(), if pev->point.function is glob, the event
name should be set to tev->point.realname. This patch ensures its
existence by strdup sym->name instead of leaving a NULL pointer there.

After this patch:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
 Added new events:
   probe:sys_waitid     (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_wait4      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_waitpid    (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_write      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_writev     (on sys_w*)

 You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

         perf record -e probe:sys_writev -aR sleep 1

ed42691590 perf tools: Make Ctrl-C stop processing on TUI
It was inconvenient that perf cannot be quit with SIGINT during
processing samples on TUI especially for large data files.

This was because the first argument of SLang_init_tty(), abort_char,
being 0.  The manual says it's the ascii value of the control character
that will be used to generate the interrupt signal [1].  Passing -1
means to use the default value (Ctrl-C).

However, after processing samples, Ctrl-C was used to in other cases as
well - like stepping back from annotate.  So recover the original
behavior after processing.

d7a3d85e08 perf build: Do not fail on missing Build file
Allow nesting into directories without Build file. Currently we force
include of the Build file, which fails the build when the Build file is
missing.

We already support empty *-in.o' objects if there's nothing in the
directory to be compiled, so we can just use it for missing Build file
cases.

Also adding this case under tests.

9a4388c711 perf machine: Fix up vdso methods names
To make it consistent with the other dso lifetime routines.

For instance:

 struct dso *vdso__new(struct machine *machine, const char *short_name,
		        const char *long_name)

Becomes:

 struct dso *machine__addnew_vdso(struct machine *machine, const
				  char *short_name, const char *long_name)

Because:

1) There is no 'struct vdso' for us to have vdso__ prefixed routines.

2) Because it will not really just create a new instance of 'struct
   dso', it'll call dso__new() but it will also insert it into the
   DSO's list/rbtree, and we have a method name for that: 'addnew',
   just like we have dsos__addnew().

3) So it is really a 'struct machine' operation, it is the first
   argument, etc.

This way the place where this is used gets consistent:

                if (vdso) {
                        pgoff = 0;
-                       dso = vdso__dso_findnew(machine, thread);
+                       dso = machine__findnew_vdso(machine, thread);
                } else
                        dso = machine__findnew_dso(machine, filename);

cec8393870 perf tests: Remove getpgrp from mmap-basic
mmap-basic fails on arm64.

 4: read samples using the mmap interface: read samples using the mmap interface: FAILED!

This is because arm64 doesn't come with getpgrp() syscall. The syscall
is a BSD compatibility wrapper, Archs that don't define
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_GETPGRP do not have this. Remove it, since getpgid is
already used in the testcase.

Multiple perf tests fail on arm64 due to missing open syscall:

 2: detect open syscall event                              : FAILED!

open(2) is a legacy syscall, replaced with openat(2) since 2.6.16.  Thus
new architectures in kernel, such as arm64, don't implement these legacy
syscalls.

The patch replaces all sys_enter_open events with sys_enter_openat,
renames the related tests and test output to avoid confusion.
