786c1b5184 perf annotate: Start supporting cross arch annotation
Introduce a 'struct arch', where arch specific stuff will live, starting
with objdump's choice of comment delimitation character, that is '#' in
x86 while a ';' in arm.

This has some bits and pieces from a patch submitted by Ravi.

Similarly, if there is no branch tsx abort, the "abort" is hidden.
There is only cycles shown (cycle is supported on skylake platform,
older platform would be 0).

3dd029ef94 perf report: Calculate and return the branch flag counting
Create some branch counters in per callchain list entry. Each counter
is for a branch flag. For example, predicted_count counts all the
*predicted* branches. The counters get updated by processing the
callchain cursor nodes.

It also provides functions to retrieve or print the values of counters
in callchain list.

Besides the counting for branch flags, it also counts and returns the
average number of iterations.

410024dbbc perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor node
Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing,
this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to
indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag.

Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what
the branch flag it has.

The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It
would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next
steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations.

For example:

Before remove_loops(),
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800

After remove_loops()
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800

The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations
(from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1).

iterations = removed number + 1;
average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples

This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple
buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good
enough.

08d090cfed perf config: Mark where are config items from (user or system)
To write config items to a particular config file, we should know where
is each config section and item from.

Current setting functionality of perf-config use autogenerating way by
overwriting collected config items to a config file.

For example, when collecting config items from user and system config
files (i.e. ~/.perfconfig and $(sysconf)/perfconfig), perf_config_set
can contain both user and system config items.  So we should know where
each value is from to avoid merging user and system config items on user
config file.

c6fc018a7a perf config: Add support setting variables in a config file
Add setting feature that can add config variables with their values to a
config file (i.e. user or system config file) or modify config key-value
pairs in a config file.  For the syntax examples:

    perf config [<file-option>] [section.name[=value] ...]

e.g. You can set the ui.show-headers to false with

    # perf config ui.show-headers=false

If you want to add or modify several config items, you can do like

    # perf config annotate.show_nr_jumps=false kmem.default=slab

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  $ perf config -l
  top.children=true
  report.children=false
  $
  $ perf config top.children=false
  $ perf config -l
  top.children=false
  report.children=false
  $
  $ perf config kmem.default=slab
  $ perf config -l
  top.children=false
  report.children=false
  kmem.default=slab

36662794bb perf config: Validate config variable arguments before trying use them
You can show the values for several config items as below:

    # perf config report.queue-size call-graph.record-mode

but it is necessary to more precisely check arguments, before passing
them to show_spec_config().  This validation function would be also used
when parsing config key-value pairs arguments in the near future.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  $ perf config bla.
  The config variable does not contain a variable name: bla.
  $ perf config .bla
  The config variable does not contain a section name: .bla
  $ perf config bla.bla

46cb25b1a0 perf tools: Add missing object file to the python binding linkage list
In ac12f6764c ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we

in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail:

  # perf test -v python
  16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 16667
  Traceback (most recent call last):

  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:

  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  #

I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the
pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this
regression to pass, sigh.

Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using
ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use
pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.

Now:

  # perf test python

99620a5d0c perf tools: Introduce timestamp__scnprintf_usec()
Joonwoo reported that there's a mismatch between timestamps in script
and sched commands.  This was because of difference in printing the
timestamp.  Factor out the code and share it so that they can be in
sync.  Also I found that sched map has similar problem, fix it too.

Committer notes:

Fixed the max_lat_at bug introduced by Namhyung's original patch, as
pointed out by Joonwoo, and made it a function following the scnprintf()
model, i.e. returning the number of bytes formatted, and receiving as
the first parameter the object from where the data to the formatting is
obtained, renaming it from:

   char *timestamp_in_usec(char *bf, size_t size, u64 timestamp)

to

   int timestamp__scnprintf_usec(u64 timestamp, char *bf, size_t size)

I'd like to see the name of tasks with perf sched map, but it only shows
name of new tasks and then use short names after all.  This is not good
for long running tasks since it's hard for users to track the short

77f02f4446 perf sched: Make common options cascading
The -i and -v options can be used in subcommands so enable cascading the
sched_options.  This fixes the following inconvenience in 'perf sched':

  $ perf sched -i perf.data.sched  map
  ... (it works well) ...

  $ perf sched map  -i perf.data.sched
    Error: unknown switch `i'

   Usage: perf sched map [<options>]

          --color-cpus <cpus>
                            highlight given CPUs in map
          --color-pids <pids>
                            highlight given pids in map
          --compact         map output in compact mode
          --cpus <cpus>     display given CPUs in map

With this patch, the second command line works with the perf.data.sched
data file.

In the hierarchy mode, all sort keys are collapsed into a single column,

e2e1680fda perf bench futex: Avoid worker cacheline bouncing
Sebastian noted that overhead for worker thread ops (throughput)
accounting was producing 'perf' to appear in the profiles, consuming a
non-trivial (i.e. 13%) amount of CPU.

This is due to cacheline bouncing due to the increment of w->ops.

We can easily fix this by just working on a local copy and updating the
actual worker once done running, and ready to show the program summary.
There is no danger of the worker being concurrent, so we can trust that
no stale value is being seen by another thread.

This also gets rid of the unnecessary cache alignment hack; its not
worth it.

086f9f3d78 perf jit: Generate .eh_frame/.eh_frame_hdr in DSO
When the jit_buf_desc contains unwinding information, it is emitted as
eh_frame unwinding sections in the DSOs generated by perf inject.

The unwinding information is required to unwind of JITed code which do
not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls.  It can
be emitted by V8 / Chromium when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is
passed to V8.

The eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr sections are emitted immediately after the
.text.

The .eh_frame is aligned at a 8-byte boundary, and .eh_frame_hdr at a
4-byte one. Since size of the .eh_frame is required to be a multiple of
the word size, which means there will never be additional padding
between it and the .eh_frame_hdr on machines where the word size is 4 or
8 bytes.

However, additional padding might be inserted between .text and
.eh_frame to reach the correct alignment, which will always be 8 bytes,
also on 32bit machines. The reasoning behind this choice is that 4 extra
bytes of padding worst case are not a large cost for the advantage of
removing word-size dependent offset calculations when emitting the
jitdump.

0284fecd13 perf jit: Add unwinding support
This record is intended to provide unwinding information in the
eh_frame format. This is required to unwind JITed code which
does not maintain the frame pointer register during function calls.

The eh_frame unwinding information can be emitted by V8 / Chromium
when the --perf_prof_unwinding_info is passed.

A record of type jr_code_unwinding_info comes before the jr_code_load
it referred to and contains both the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr.

The fields in the header have the following meaning:

  * unwinding_size: size of the eh_frame and eh_frame_hdr, necessary
    for distinguishing the content from the padding.

  * eh_frame_hdr_size: as the name says.

  * mapped_size: size of the payload that was in memory at runtime.
    typically unwinding_size if the .eh_frame_hdr and .eh_frame were
    mapped, or 0 if they weren't. It should always be the former case,
    since the .eh_frame is guaranteed to be mapped in memory. However,
    certain JITs might want to inject an .eh_frame_hdr with an empty LUT
    to trigger fp-based unwinding fallback in libunwind. The only part
    of the .eh_frame_hdr that libunwind reads from remote memory is the
    LUT, and since there is none, mapping the unwinding info in memory
    is not necessary, and 0 in this field signifies that it wasn't.
    This practical hack allows to save bytes in code memory for those
    JIT compilers that might or might not maintain a valid frame pointer.

The payload that follows is assumed to contain first the .eh_frame and
then the .eh_header_hdr, with no padding between the two.

eac05af2bf perf jit: Do not assume pgoff is zero
When calculating .eh_frame_hdr base and LUT offsets do not always assume
that pgoff is zero.

The assumption is false for DSOs built from the jitdump by perf inject,
because the ELF header did not exist in memory at sampling time.

7354ec7a86 perf jit: Make perf skip unknown records
The behavior before this commit was to skip the remaining portion of the
jitdump in case an unknown record was found, including those records
that perf could handle.

With this change, parsing a record with an unknown id will cause a
warning to be emitted, the record will be skipped and parsing will
resume from the next (valid) one.

The patch aims at making perf more future proof, by extracting as much
information as possible from jitdumps.

13b9012ab4 perf jit: Remove unecessary padding in jitdump file
This patch removes all the string padding generated in the jitdump file.
They are not necessary and were adding unnecessary complexity. Modern
processors can handle unaligned accesses quite well. The perf.data/
jitdump file are always post-processed, no need to add extra complexity
for no real gain.
