Add a new thread that takes care of the hist creating to alleviate the
main reader thread so it can keep perf mmaps served in time so that we
reduce the possibility of losing events.
The 'perf top' command now spawns 2 extra threads, the data processing
is the following:
1) The main thread reads the data from mmaps and queues them to
ordered events object;
2) The processing threads takes the data from the ordered events
object and create initial histogram;
3) The GUI thread periodically sorts the initial histogram and
presents it.
Passing the data between threads 1 and 2 is done by having 2 ordered
events queues. One is always being stored by thread 1 while the other is
flushed out in thread 2.
Passing the data between threads 2 and 3 stays the same as was initially
for threads 1 and 3.

Multi AIO trace writing allows caching more kernel data into userspace
memory postponing trace writing for the sake of overall profiling data
thruput increase. It could be seen as kernel data buffer extension into
userspace memory.
With an --aio option value different from 0 (default value is 1) the
tool has capability to cache more and more data into user space along
with delegating spill to AIO.
That allows avoiding to suspend at record__aio_sync() between calls of
record__mmap_read_evlist() and increases profiling data thruput at the
cost of userspace memory.

When using the -x option, perf stat prints CSV-style output with one
event per line. For each event, it prints the count, the unit, the
event name, the cgroup, and a bunch of other event specific fields (such
as insn per cycles).
When you use CSV-style mode, you expect a normalized output where each
event is printed with the same number of fields regardless of what it is
so it can easily be imported into a spreadsheet or parsed.
For instance, if an event does not have a unit, then print an empty
field for it.
Although this approach was implemented for the unit, it was not for the
cgroup.
When mixing cgroup and non-cgroup events, then non-cgroup events would
not show an empty field, instead the next field was printed, make
columns not line up correctly.
This patch fixes the cgroup output issues by forcing an empty field
for non-cgroup events as soon as one event has cgroup.

Commit 0aa802a794 ("perf stat: Get rid of extra clock display
function") introduced scale and unit for clock events. Thus,
perf_stat__update_shadow_stats() now saves scaled values of clock events
in msecs, instead of original nsecs. But while calculating values of
shadow stats we still consider clock event values in nsecs. This results
in a wrong shadow stat values. Ex,
# ./perf stat -e task-clock,cycles ls
<SNIP>
2.60 msec task-clock:u # 0.877 CPUs utilized
2,430,564 cycles:u # 1215282.000 GHz
Fix this by saving original nsec values for clock events in
perf_stat__update_shadow_stats(). After patch:
# ./perf stat -e task-clock,cycles ls
<SNIP>
3.14 msec task-clock:u # 0.839 CPUs utilized
3,094,528 cycles:u # 0.985 GHz

Perf can take minutes to parse an image when -ffunction-section is used.
This is especially true with the kernel image when it is compiled this
way, which is the arm64 default since the patcheset "Enable deadcode
elimination at link time".
Perf organize maps using a rbtree. Whenever perf finds a new symbols, it
first searches this rbtree for the map it belongs to, by strcmp()'aring
section names. When it finds the map with the right name, it uses it to
add the symbol. With a usual image there aren't so many maps but when
using -ffunction-section there's basically one map per function. With
the kernel image that's north of 40,000 maps. For most symbols perf has
to parses the entire rbtree to eventually create a new map and add it.
Consequently perf spends most of the time browsing a rbtree that keeps
getting larger.
This performance fix introduces a secondary rbtree that indexes maps
based on the section name.

The perf tools cannot find the proper event list for the Cascadelake
server. Because the Cascadelake server and the Skylake server have the
same CPU model number, which are used by the perf tools to find the
event list.
The stepping for Skylake server is up to 4.
The stepping for Cascadelake server starts from 5.
The stepping can be used to distinguish between them.
The stepping is added in get_cpuid_str().
The stepping information for Skylake server is updated in mapfile.csv.
A x86 specific strcmp_cpuid_cmp() function is added to handle two CPUID
formats in mapfile.csv, "vendor-family-model-stepping" and
"vendor-family-model":
- If a cpuid-regular-expression from the mapfile.csv using the new
stepping format, a cpuid-string generated on the machine must include
stepping. Otherwise, it is a mismatch.
- If the cpuid-regular-expression using the old non-stepping format,
the stepping in the cpuid-string will be ignored.
The script, using environment string "PERF_CPUID" without stepping on
Skylake server, will be broken. If so, users must fix their scripts.

When reporting on 'record' server we try to retrieve/use the mnt
namespace of the profiled tasks. We use following API with cookie to
hold the return namespace, roughly:
nsinfo__mountns_enter(struct nsinfo *nsi, struct nscookie *nc)
setns(newns, 0);
...
new ns related open..
...
nsinfo__mountns_exit(struct nscookie *nc)
setns(nc->oldns)
Once finished we setns to old namespace, which also sets the current
working directory (cwd) to "/", trashing the cwd we had.
This is mostly fine, because we use absolute paths almost everywhere,
but it screws up 'perf diff':
# perf diff
failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory (try 'perf record' first)
...
Adding the current working directory to be part of the cookie and
restoring it in the nsinfo__mountns_exit call.

On s390 the CPU Measurement Facility for counters now supports

cpum_cf_diag (CPU Measurement Facility for diagnostic counters)

[root@s35lp76 perf]#
displays output which is unexpected (and wrong):
2 tx_c_tend
The test program definitely triggers only one transaction, as shown
in line 'TX_C_TEND: 1 expected:1'.
This is caused by the following call sequence:
pmu_lookup() scans and installs a PMU.
+--> pmu_aliases() parses all aliases in directory
.../<pmu-name>/events/* which are file names.
+--> pmu_aliases_parse() Read each file in directory and create
an new alias entry. This is done with
+--> perf_pmu__new_alias() and
+--> __perf_pmu__new_alias() which also check for
identical alias names.
After pmu_aliases() returns, a complete list of event names
for this pmu has been created. Now function
pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is called to add the events listed in the json
| files to the alias list of the cpu.
+--> perf_pmu__find_map() Returns a pointer to the json events.
Now function pmu_add_cpu_aliases() scans through all events listed
in the JSON files for this CPU.
Each json event pmu name is compared with the current PMU being
built up and if they mismatch, the json event is added to the
current PMUs alias list.
To avoid duplicate entries the following comparison is done:
if (!is_arm_pmu_core(name)) {
pname = pe->pmu ? pe->pmu : "cpu";
if (strncmp(pname, name, strlen(pname)))
continue;
}
The culprit is the strncmp() function.
Using current s390 PMU naming, the first PMU is 'cpum_cf'
and a long list of events is added, among them 'tx_c_tend'
When the second PMU named 'cpum_cf_diag' is added, only one event
named 'CF_DIAG' is added by the pmu_aliases() function.
Now function pmu_add_cpu_aliases() is invoked for PMU 'cpum_cf_diag'.
Since the CPUID string is the same for both PMUs, json file events
for PMU named 'cpum_cf' are added to the PMU 'cpm_cf_diag'
This happens because the strncmp() actually compares:
strncmp("cpum_cf", "cpum_cf_diag", 6);
The first parameter is the pmu name taken from the event in
the json file. The second parameter is the pmu name of the PMU
currently being built.
They are different, but the length of the compare only tests the
common prefix and this returns 0(true) when it should return false.
Now all events for PMU cpum_cf are added to the alias list for pmu
cpum_cf_diag.
Later on in function parse_events_add_pmu() the event 'tx_c_end' is
searched in all available PMUs and found twice, adding it two
times to the evsel_list global variable which is the root
of all events. This results in a counter value of 2 instead
of 1.

When synthesizing FORK events, we are trying to create thread objects
for the already running tasks on the machine.
Normally, for a kernel FORK event, we want to clone the parent's maps
because that is what the kernel just did.
But when synthesizing, this should not be done. If we do, we end up
with overlapping maps as we process the sythesized MMAP2 events that
get delivered shortly thereafter.
Use the FORK event misc flags in an internal way to signal this
situation, so we can elide the map clone when appropriate.

When processing using 'perf report -g caller', which is the default, we
ended up reverting the callchain entries received from the kernel, but
simply reverting throws away the information that tells that from a
point onwards the addresses are for userspace, kernel, guest kernel,
guest user, hypervisor.
The idea is that if we are walking backwards, for each cluster of
non-cpumode entries we have to first scan backwards for the next one and
use that for the cluster.
This seems silly and more expensive than it needs to be but it is enough
for a initial fix.
The code here is really complicated because it is intimately intertwined
with the lbr and branch handling, as well as this callchain order,
further fixes will be needed to properly take into account the cpumode
in those cases.
Another problem with ORDER_CALLER is that the NULL "0" IP that is at the
end of most callchains shows up at the top of the histogram because
every callchain contains it and with ORDER_CALLER it is the first entry.

Since commit edeb0c90df ("perf tools: Stop fallbacking to kallsyms for
vdso symbols lookup"), the kernel address cannot be properly parsed to
kernel symbol with command 'perf script -k vmlinux'. The reason is
CoreSight samples is always to set CPU mode as PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER,
thus it fails to find corresponding map/dso in below flows:
process_sample_event()
`-> machine__resolve()
`-> thread__find_map(thread, sample->cpumode, sample->ip, al);
In this flow it needs to pass argument 'sample->cpumode' to tell what's
the CPU mode, before it always passed PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER but without
any failure until the commit edeb0c90df ("perf tools: Stop fallbacking
to kallsyms for vdso symbols lookup") has been merged. The reason is
even with the wrong CPU mode the function thread__find_map() firstly
fails to find map but it will rollback to find kernel map for vdso
symbols lookup. In the latest code it has removed the fallback code,
thus if CPU mode is PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER then it cannot find map
anymore with kernel address.
This patch is to correct samples CPU mode setting, it creates a new
helper function cs_etm__cpu_mode() to tell what's the CPU mode based on
the address with the info from machine structure; this patch has a bit
extension to check not only kernel and user mode, but also check for
host/guest and hypervisor mode. Finally this patch uses the function in
instruction and branch samples and also apply in cs_etm__mem_access()
for a minor polishing.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes
Back in January I posted patches to create function based events.
These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to
easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After
posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement
this instead with kprobes.
The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and
needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and
I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in
the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches,
and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface.
- If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to
know what register or where on the stack the argument was).
- The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you
reference a mac address, you can add:
echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events
And this will produce:
mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}
Other changes include
- Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules
- Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).
- Added support for SDT in uprobes"
[ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing.
Let's not use random TLA's in explanations unless they are fairly
well-established as generic (at least for kernel people) - Linus ]
