Jiri reported hanging perf tests on latest acme's perf/core and bisected
it to 87f303a9f:
[jolsa@krava2 perf]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
1
[jolsa@krava2 perf]$ ./perf record -C 0 kill
Error:
You may not have permission to collect %sstats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid:
-1 - Not paranoid at all
0 - Disallow raw tracepoint access for unpriv
1 - Disallow cpu events for unpriv
2 - Disallow kernel profiling for unpriv
Need to let default handling kickin for workload process.

When -v option is given, the symbol sort key prints its address also but
it wasn't properly aligned since hists__calc_col_len() misses the
additional part. Also it missed 2 spaces for 0x prefix when printing.

The branch info was allocated for the whole stack and passed matching
hist entry for each level during processing samples. Thus when a hist
entry tries to free its branch info like in hists__collapse_insert_entry
it'll face following error.
*** glibc detected *** perf: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00000000014e9d20 ***

One of the reasons 'perf test' is failing on Power appears to be due to
a bug in isupper().
isupper(c) and islower(c) should be checking 'c' against the mask 0x20.
Instead they are checking sane_ctype[c] which causes isupper() to be
true for lower case letters.

This patch adds the sorting and histogram support
functions to enable profiling of memory accesses.
The following sorting orders are added:
- symbol_daddr: data address symbol (or raw address)
- dso_daddr: data address shared object
- locked: access uses locked transaction
- tlb : TLB access
- mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...)
- snoop: access snoop mode

perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.
Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the
total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event
and the total cost over the measurement period.
Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.
v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.
Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

This patch adds the --per-core option to perf stat.
This option is used to aggregate system-wide counts
on a per physical core basis. On processors with
hyperthreading, this means counts of all HT threads
running on a physical core are aggregated.
This mode is useful to find imblance between physical
cores running an uniform workload. Cores are identified
by socket: S0-C1, means physical core 1 on socket 0. Note
that cores are identified using their physical core id,
thus their numbering may not be continuous.
Per core aggregation can be combined with interval printing:
# perf stat -a --per-core -I 1000 -e cycles sleep 1000
# time core cpus counts events
1.000090030 S0-C0 1 4,765,747 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C1 1 5,580,647 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C2 1 221,181 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C3 1 266,092 cycles
