The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This
patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than
tracepoints too.
This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf
for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments
containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and
raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding.
The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can
also be generated with perf script:
# Packed byte string args of process_event():
#
# $event: union perf_event util/event.h
# $attr: struct perf_event_attr linux/perf_event.h
# $sample: struct perf_sample util/event.h
# $raw_data: perf_sample->raw_data util/event.h
sub process_event
{
my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_;
my @event = unpack("LSS", $event);
my @attr = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr);
my @sample = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample);
my @raw_data = unpack("C*", $raw_data);
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data;
}

The features HEADER_TRACE_INFO and HEADER_BUILD_ID are handled
different when writing the feature section. All other features are
simply disabled on failure and writing the section goes on without
returning an error. There is no reason for these special cases. This
patch unifies handling of the features.
This should be ok since all features can be parsed independently.
Offset and size of a feature's block is stored in struct perf_file_
section right after the data block of perf.data (see perf_session__
write_header()). Thus, if a feature does not exist then other features
can be processed anyway.
Also moving special code for HEADER_BUILD_ID out to write_build_id().
v2:
* perf record throws an error now if buildids may not be generated,
which can be disabled with the --no-buildid option.

The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:
# perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first)
While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.
Applies to the following commands:
perf annotate
perf buildid-list
perf evlist
perf kmem
perf lock
perf report
perf sched
perf script
perf timechart
Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.
v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup

perf does not properly handle monitoring of processes with named threads.
For example:
$ ps -C myapp -L
PID LWP TTY TIME CMD
25118 25118 ? 00:00:00 myapp
25118 25119 ? 00:00:00 myapp:worker
perf record -e cs -c 1 -fo /tmp/perf.data -p 25118 -- sleep 10
perf report --stdio -i /tmp/perf.data
100.00% myapp:worker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] perf_event_task_sched_out
The process name is set to the name of the last thread it finds for the
process.
The Problem:
perf-top and perf-record both create a thread_map of threads to be
monitored. That map is used in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map which
loops over the entries in thread_map and calls __event__synthesize_thread
to generate COMM and MMAP events.
__event__synthesize_thread calls perf_event__synthesize_comm which opens
/proc/pid/status, reads the name of the task and its thread group id.
That's all fine. The problem is that it then reads /proc/pid/task and
generates COMM events for each task it finds - but using the name found
in /proc/pid/status where pid is the thread of interest.
The end result (looping over thread_map + synthesizing comm events for
each thread each time) means the name of the last thread processed sets
the name for all threads in the process - which is not good for
multithreaded processes with named threads.
The Fix:
perf_event__synthesize_comm has an input argument (full) that decides
whether to process task entries for each pid it is passed. It currently
never set to 0 (perf_event__synthesize_comm has a single caller and it
always passes the value 1). Let's fix that.
Add the full input argument to __event__synthesize_thread which passes
it to perf_event__synthesize_comm. For thread/process monitoring set full
to 0 which means COMM and MMAP events are only generated for the pid
passed to it. For system wide monitoring set full to 1 so that COMM events
are generated for all threads in a process.

It becomes quite annoying when you go to run a test and then
realize that you typed an option name wrong, and the test starts
doing the default action and not what you expected it to do.
It is even more annoying when you wake up the next day after
running the test over night when you discover this.
By testing if all options specified in a config file are
used by either ktest or were used in one of the option's values
we can see if there are any dangling options that were not used.
In such a case, show the user the options that were not used
and ask them if they want to continue or not.

When running the ktest git bisect test, if the BISECT_TYPE is "test",
the bisect is determined to be good or bad based off of the error
code of the test that is run. Currently, if the test returns 0,
it is considered a pass (good), a non-zero is considered a fail (bad).
But it has been requested to add more options, and also change
the meanings of the error codes of the test. For example, one may
want the test to detect if the commit is not good or bad,
(maybe the bisect came to a point where the code in question
does not exist). The test could report an error code that should tell
ktest to skip the commit.
Also, a test could detect that something is horribly wrong and the
biscet should just be aborted.
The new options:
BISECT_RET_GOOD
BISECT_RET_BAD
BISECT_RET_SKIP
BISECT_RET_ABORT
BISECT_RET_DEFAULT
have been added. The first 4 take an integer value that will
represent if the test should be considered a pass, fail, neither
good nor bad, or abort respectively.
The BISECT_RET_DEFAULT will bo whatever is not defined by the
above codes. If only BISECT_RET_DEFAULT is defined, then all tests
will do the default.

The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates
a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these
samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a
defined limit.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second
case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process
sleeps in both places equal time.
Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As
result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and
we avoid throttling of samples.
The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a
kernel part of this functionality.

The option is documented in man perf-script but was not yet implemented:
-a
Force system-wide collection. Scripts run without a
<command> normally use -a by default, while scripts run
with a <command> normally don't - this option allows the
latter to be run in system-wide mode.
As with perf record you now can profile in system-wide mode for the
runtime of a given command, e.g.:
# perf script -a syscall-counts sleep 2

Fix mem leaks and missing NULL pointer checks after strdup().
And get_script_path() did not free __script_root in case of continue.
Introduce a helper function get_script_root().
