The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.
However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].
To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.
Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.
Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.
Committer notes:
Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.
Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.
Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.
Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.
Committer notes:
I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:
# perf test -v parsing
26: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17018
sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
#
With the two paches combined:
# perf test parsing
26: Sample parsing : Ok

Avoid termination of trace loading in case the last record in the
decompressed buffer partly resides in the following mmaped
PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED record.
In this case NULL value returned by fetch_mmaped_event() means to
proceed to the next mmaped record then decompress it and load compressed
events.
The issue can be reproduced like this:
$ perf record -z -- some_long_running_workload
$ perf report --stdio -vv
decomp (B): 44519 to 163000
decomp (B): 48119 to 174800

Move the PERF_RECORD_READ event definition to libperf's event.h header
include.
In order to keep libperf simple, we switch 'u64/u32/u16/u8' types used
events to their generic '__u*' versions.
Perf added 'u*' types mainly to ease up printing __u64 values
as stated in the linux/types.h comment:
/*
* We define u64 as uint64_t for every architecture
* so that we can print it with "%"PRIx64 without getting warnings.
*
* typedef __u64 u64;
* typedef __s64 s64;
*/
Add and use new PRI_lu64 and PRI_lx64 macros for that. Use extra '_' to
ease up the reading and differentiate them from standard PRI*64 macros.

Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in

systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.

zstd_init(, comp_level = 0) initializes decompression part of API only
hat now consists of zstd_decompress_stream() function.
The perf.data PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records are decompressed using
zstd_decompress_stream() function into a linked list of mmaped memory
regions of mmap_comp_len size (struct decomp).
After decompression of one COMPRESSED record its content is iterated and
fetched for usual processing. The mmaped memory regions with
decompressed events are kept in the linked list till the tool process
termination.
When dumping raw records (e.g., perf report -D --header) file offsets of
events from compressed records are printed as zero.
Committer notes:
Since now we have support for processing PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED, we see
none, in raw form, like we saw in the previous patch commiter notes,
they were decompressed into the usual PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,COMM,etc}
records, we only see the stats for those PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED events,
and since I used the file generated in the commiter notes for the
previous patch, there they are, 2 compressed records:
$ perf report --header-only | grep cmdline
# cmdline : /home/acme/bin/perf record -z2 sleep 1
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0
$ perf report --stdio

Committer note:
Split from a larger patch, this only dumps PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED as
unhandled, so that when we introduce the record part in the next patch,
we don't see unhandled events when using 'perf record -D'.
Changed it so that we dump the event if the handler is just a stub, i.e.
for the case where we don't have ZSTD linked but we're processing a
perf.data file generated by a tool with that linked.
Also when failing to decompress we can't just dump the uncompressed
event and return 0, we have to propagate the error.

An -ENOMEM error is not reported in the GTK GUI. Instead this error
message pops up on the screen:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1
Processing events... [974K/3M]
Error:failed to process sample
0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68
However when I use the same perf.data file with --stdio it works:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1 --stdio \
| head -12
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 76K of event 'cycles'

2.19% kworker/u512:1- [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update
The sample precentage is a bit low.....
The GUI always fails in the FINISHED_ROUND event (68) and does not
indicate the reason why.
When happened is the following. Perf report calls a lot of functions and
down deep when a FINISHED_ROUND event is processed, these functions are
called:
perf_session__process_event()
+ perf_session__process_user_event()
+ process_finished_round()
+ ordered_events__flush()
+ __ordered_events__flush()
+ do_flush()
+ ordered_events__deliver_event()
+ perf_session__deliver_event()
+ machine__deliver_event()
+ perf_evlist__deliver_event()
+ process_sample_event()
+ hist_entry_iter_add() --> only called in GUI case!!!
+ hist_iter__report__callback()
+ symbol__inc_addr_sample()
Now this functions runs out of memory and
returns -ENOMEM. This is reported all the way up
until function
perf_session__process_event() returns to its caller, where -ENOMEM is
changed to -EINVAL and processing stops:
if ((skip = perf_session__process_event(session, event, head)) < 0) {
pr_err("%#" PRIx64 " [%#x]: failed to process type: %d\n",
head, event->header.size, event->header.type);
err = -EINVAL;
goto out_err;
}
This occurred in the FINISHED_ROUND event when it has to process some
10000 entries and ran out of memory.
This patch indicates the root cause and displays it in the status line
of ther perf report GUI.
Output before (on GUI status line):
0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68
Output after:
0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 [not enough memory]
Committer notes:
the 'skip' variable needs to be initialized to -EINVAL, so that when the
size is less than sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) we avoid this valid
compiler warning:
util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session__process_events’:
util/session.c:1936:7: error: ‘skip’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

bpf_prog_info contains information necessary to annotate bpf programs.
This patch saves bpf_prog_info for bpf programs loaded in the system.
Some big picture of the next few patches:
To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different
informations are needed:
1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
3) bpf_prog_info
4) btf
Before this set, 1) and 2) in the list are already saved to perf.data
file. For BPF programs that are already loaded before perf run, 1) and 2)
are synthesized by perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). For short living
BPF programs, 1) and 2) are generated by kernel.
This set handles 3) and 4) from the list. Again, it is necessary to handle
existing BPF program and short living program separately.
This patch handles 3) for exising BPF programs while synthesizing 1) and
2) in perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). These data are stored in
perf_env. The next patch saves these data from perf_env to perf.data as
headers.
Similarly, the two patches after the next saves 4) of existing BPF
programs to perf_env and perf.data.
Another patch later will handle 3) and 4) for short living BPF programs
by monitoring 1) and 2) in a dedicate thread.
