Using .st_ctime clobbers the timestamp information in perf report header
whenever any operation is done with the file. Even tar-ing and untar-ing
the perf.data file (which preserves the file last modification timestamp)
doesn't prevent that:
[Michael@Diego tmp]$ ls -l perf.data

[Michael@Diego aaa]$ xzcat ../perf.data.tar.xz | tar x

Before this patch, perf expected that there might be NPROC*4 unique
cache entries at max, however, it also expected that some of them would
be shared and/or of the same size, thus the final number of entries
would be reduced to be lower than NPROC*4. In case the number of entries
hadn't been reduced (was NPROC*4), the warning was printed.
However, some systems might have unusual cache topology, such as the
following two-processor KVM guest:
cpu level shared_cpu_list size
0 1 0 32K
0 1 0 64K
0 2 0 512K
0 3 0 8192K
1 1 1 32K
1 1 1 64K
1 2 1 512K
1 3 1 8192K
This KVM guest has 8 (NPROC*4) unique cache entries, which used to make
perf printing the message, although there actually aren't "way too many
cpu caches".
v2: Removing unused argument.
v3: Unifying the way we obtain number of cpus.
v4: Removed '& UINT_MAX' construct which is redundant.

struct evsel evsel = {
.needs_swap = false,
- .core.attr = {
- .sample_type = sample_type,
- .read_format = read_format,
+ .core = {

+ .read_format = read_format,
+ },
[perfbuilder@a70e4eeb5549 /]$ gcc --version |& head -1
gcc (GCC) 4.4.7
Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in
tools/perf/lib/include/perf/evsel.h, forward declaring 'struct
perf_event_attr' is enough. And this even fixes the build in some
systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.

When building our local version of perf with MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) and
running the perf record command, MSAN throws a use of uninitialized
value warning in "tools/perf/util/util.c:333:6".
This warning stems from the "buf" variable being passed into "write".
It originated as the variable "ev" with the type union perf_event*
defined in the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".
In the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function they allocate space with a malloc
call using ev, then go on to only assign some of the member variables before
passing "ev" on as a parameter to the "process" function therefore "ev"
contains uninitialized memory. Changing the malloc call to zalloc to initialize
all the members of "ev" which gets rid of the warning.
To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory\
-fsanitize-memory-track-origins"
(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)
then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate\
-i - --stdio
Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.

In places where the equivalent was already being done, i.e.:
free(a);
a = NULL;
And in placs where struct members are being freed so that if we have
some erroneous reference to its struct, then accesses to freed members
will result in segfaults, which we can detect faster than use after free
to areas that may still have something seemingly valid.

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.
This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.
Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

With the new CPUID.1F, a new level type of CPU topology, 'die', is
introduced. The 'die' information in CPU topology should be added in
perf header.
To be compatible with old perf.data, the patch checks the section size
before reading the die information. The new info is added at the end of
the cpu_topology section, the old perf tool ignores the extra data. It
never reads data crossing the section boundary.
The new perf tool with the patch can be used on legacy kernel. Add a new
function has_die_topology() to check if die topology information is
supported by kernel. The function only check X86 and CPU 0. Assuming
other CPUs have same topology.
Use similar method for core and socket to support die id and sibling
dies string.
