With --call-graph option, perf report can display call chains using
type, min percent threshold, optional print limit and order. And the
default call-graph parameter is 'graph,0.5,caller,function,percent'.
Before this patch, 'perf report --call-graph' shows incorrect debug
messages as below:
# perf report --call-graph
Invalid callchain mode: 0.5
Invalid callchain order: 0.5
Invalid callchain sort key: 0.5
Invalid callchain config key: 0.5
Invalid callchain mode: caller
Invalid callchain mode: function
Invalid callchain order: function
Invalid callchain mode: percent
Invalid callchain order: percent
Invalid callchain sort key: percent
That is because in function __parse_callchain_report_opt(),each field of
the call-graph parameter is passed to parse_callchain_{mode,order,
sort_key,value} in turn until it meets the matching value.
For example, the order field "caller" is passed to
parse_callchain_mode() firstly and obviously it doesn't match any mode
field. Therefore parse_callchain_mode() will shows the debug message
"Invalid callchain mode: caller", which could confuse users.
The patch fixes this issue by moving the warning out of the function
parse_callchain_{mode,order,sort_key,value}.

Yet another fix for probing the max attr.precise_ip setting: it is not
enough settting attr.exclude_kernel for !root users, as they _can_
profile the kernel if the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl is set to
-1, so check that as well.
Testing it:
As non root:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = 2
$ perf record sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:uppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, ... precise_ip: 3, ...
Now as non-root, but with kernel.perf_event_paranoid set set to the
most permissive value, -1:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
$ perf record sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 0, ... precise_ip: 3, ...
$
I.e. non-root, default kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :uppp modifier = not allowed to sample the kernel,
non-root, most permissible kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :ppp = allowed to sample the kernel.
In both cases, use the highest available precision: attr.precise_ip = 3.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Support direct --user-regs arguments in 'perf record', previously the
only way to sample PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER was implicitly selecting it
when recording callchains (Andi Kleen)
- Support showing sampled user regs in 'perf script' (Andi Kleen)
- Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up a
group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group. That
gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but still a
usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)
% perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}:W' -a sleep 1
125,366,055 branches (80.02%)
9,208,402 branch-misses # 7.35% of all branches (80.01%)
24,560,249 l1d.replacement (80.00%)
43,174,971 l2_lines_in.all (80.05%)
31,891,457 l2_rqsts.all_code_rd (79.92%)
- Support metrics in 'stat' and 'list'. A metric is a formula that
uses multiple events to compute a higher level result (e.g. IPC). (Andi Kleen)
- Add Intel processors vendor event metrics JSON files (Andi Kleen)
- Add 'pid' and 'tid' options to 'perf sched timehist' (David Ahern)
- Generate 'behavior' string table from kernel headers, helps getting
new parameters when synchronizing kernel headers, like MADV_WIPEONFORK
and MADV_KEEPONFORK, that are now beautied (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Improve TUI progress bar by showing how many bytes from a total were
processed (Jiri Olsa)
- Use scandir() to replace readdir(), prep work to have the synthesizing
of PERF_RECORD_ entries for existing threads be multithreaded, making
'perf top' bearable on high core count systems such as Intel's Knights
Landing/Mill (Kan Liang)
- Allow creating a ~/.perfconfig file when setting a variable to its
default value, previously it would bail out and not write such a
file (Taeung Song)
- Introduce wrapper for allowing purely single threaded apps to avoid
the costs of locking (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce hashtable to reduce the cost of thread lookup
- Fix build C++ build wrt poison.h using void pointer arithmetic,
affects only the embedded clang/llvm case, that is disabled by
default (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix leaking rec_argv in error cases (Martin Kepplinger)
- Remove Intel CQM perf test, that infrastructure was nuked (Xiaochen Shen)

Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as
'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to
allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines
with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then
allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not.
I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single
threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to
single threaded mode in 'perf top'.
The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single
threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.

This is one more case where the way that syscall parameter values are
defined in kernel headers are easy to parse using a shell script that
will then generate the string table that gets used by the madvise
'behaviour' argument beautifier.
This way as soon as the header syncronization mechanism in perf's build
system detects a change in a copy of a kernel ABI header and that file
is syncronized, we get 'perf trace' updated automagically.
So, when we syncronize this:
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h'
We'll get these:
#define MADV_WIPEONFORK 18 /* Zero memory on fork, child only */
#define MADV_KEEPONFORK 19 /* Undo MADV_WIPEONFORK */

To process any events, it needs to find the thread in the machine first.
The machine maintains a rb tree to store all threads. The rb tree is
protected by a rw lock.
It is not a problem for current perf which serially processing events.
However, it will have scalability performance issue to process events in
parallel, especially on a heavy load system which have many threads.
Introduce a hashtable to divide the big rb tree into many samll rb tree
for threads. The index is thread id % hashtable size. It can reduce the
lock contention.
Committer notes:
Renamed some variables and function names to reduce semantic confusion:
'struct threads' pointers: thread -> threads
threads hastable index: tid -> hash_bucket
struct threads *machine__thread() -> machine__threads()
Cast tid to (unsigned int) to handle -1 in machine__threads() (Kan Liang)

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8f ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

It's not possible to run a package event and a per cpu event in the same

Normally weak groups should handle that, but in this case EBADF is
returned instead of the normal EINVAL.

Make weak groups trigger a fall back for EBADF too. Then this case works correctly:

When there isn't a config file (e.g. ~/.perfconfig) or it has nothing,
the config set wasn't created.
If the config set does not exist, a config file can't be autogenerated.
So allow creating a empty config set in the above case,
then we can support the config file autogeneration.
Before:
$ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
$ perf config --user report.children=false
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
cat: /root/.perfconfig: No such file or directory
But I think it should work even if there isn't a config file.
After:
$ rm -f ~/.perfconfig
$ perf config --user report.children=false
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
# this file is auto-generated.
[report]
children = false
NOTE:
As a result, if perf_config_set__init() fails, it looks as if the config
set isn't freed. But it isn't a problem. Because the config set will be
freed by perf_config_set__delete() at the end of cmd_config().

Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to
perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a
higher level result (e.g. IPC).
Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically
enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone
metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't
have an event name.
We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a
short cut to select several related metrics at once.
Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or
metric groups specified.
Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are
collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When
computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are
computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c
The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request.

Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling
restrictions of different PMUs.
User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions.
Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of
the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not
report any value because they never get scheduled.
Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not
schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of
both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they
don't.
In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies
(e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not
using a group seems to work for now.
So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record.
Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on)

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Fix TUI progress bar when delta from new total from that of the
previous update is greater than the progress "step" (screen width
progress bar block)) (Jiri Olsa)
- Make tools/lib/api make DEBUG=1 build use -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 not
to cripple debuginfo, just like tools/perf/ does (Jiri Olsa)
- Avoid leaking the 'perf.data' file to workloads started from the
'perf record' command line by using the O_CLOEXEC open flag (Jiri Olsa)
- Fix building when libunwind's 'unwind.h' file is present in the
include path, clashing with tools/perf/util/unwind.h (Milian Wolff)
- Check per .perfconfig section entry flag, not just per section (Taeung Song)
- Support running perf binaries with a dash in their name, needed to
run perf as an AppImage (Milian Wolff)
- Wait for the right child by using waitpid() when running workloads
from 'perf stat', also to fix using perf as an AppImage (Milian Wolff)
