Currently when using ordered events we parse the sample twice (the
perf_evlist__parse_sample function). Once before we queue the sample for
sorting:
perf_session__process_event
perf_evlist__parse_sample(sample)
perf_session__queue_event(sample.time)
And then when we deliver the sorted sample:
ordered_events__deliver_event
perf_evlist__parse_sample
perf_session__deliver_event
We can skip the initial full sample parsing by using
perf_evlist__parse_sample_timestamp function, which got introduced
earlier. The new path looks like:
perf_session__process_event
perf_evlist__parse_sample_timestamp
perf_session__queue_event
ordered_events__deliver_event
perf_session__deliver_event
perf_evlist__parse_sample
It saves some instructions and is slightly faster:

"A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for
KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I
think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle.
Non-highlights:
- Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs
in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line
with x86.
Highlights:
- Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a
true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc.
- Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver.
- Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors
can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery.
- Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM
to notify the Linux partition of topology changes.
- Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on
some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND).
- Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on
some Power9 revisions.
- Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a
CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users.
- A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting
for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes
to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API.
- Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are
using transactional memory.
- Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on
Power9.
- Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on
Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver
handles requests.
- Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

The 'perf test' case "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping"
fails on s390x. The reason is the 'realpath /lib64/ld*.so.* | uniq' line
which returns 2 libraries:
root@s35lp76 shell]# realpath /lib64/ld*.so.* | uniq
/usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so
/usr/lib64/ld_pre_smc.so.1.0.1
[root@s35lp76 shell]
This output makes the "perf probe" command lines invalid.
Use ldd tool to find out the libraries required by "bash" and check if
symbol "inet_pton" is part of the "libc" library. Some distros do not
have a /lib64 directory.
I have also added a check for the existence of an IPv6 network interface
before it is being used.
Committer changes:
We can't really use ldd for libc, as in some systems, such as x86_64, it
has hardlinks and then ldd sees one and the kernel the other, so grep
for libc in /proc/self/maps to get the one we'll receive from
PERF_RECORD_MMAP.
Thomas checked this change and acked it.

This 'perf test' case fails on s390x. The 'touch' command on s390x uses
the 'openat' system call to open the file named on the command line:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf probe -l
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72@fs/namei.c with pathname)
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf trace -e open touch /tmp/abc
0.400 ( 0.015 ms): touch/27542 open(filename:
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
[root@s35lp76 perf]#
There is no 'open' system call for file '/tmp/abc'. Instead the 'openat'
system call is used:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# strace touch /tmp/abc
execve("/usr/bin/touch", ["touch", "/tmp/abc"], 0x3ffd547ec98
/* 30 vars */) = 0
[...]
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/abc", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3
[...]
On s390x the 'egrep' command does not find a matching pattern and
returns an error.
Fix this for s390x create a platform dependent command line to enable
the 'perf probe' call to listen to the 'openat' system call and get the
expected output.

When using leader sampling the values of the not sampled but counted
events are shown by perf script in "period".
Currently printing period is only allowed when the main event has a
period, that is it is in frequency mode.
This implies that we cannot dump the values of counted events when the
leader event is not in frequency mode.
Just remove the check that the period must be set on all events. It will
just be printed as 0 instead if it's not available.
This fixes the following:
$ perf record -c 100000 -e '{cycles,branches}:S'
$ perf script -F event,period
Further commentary by Jiri Olsa:
The period will be the value of configured period, not 0:
int perf_evsel__parse_sample(struct ...
...
data->period = evsel->attr.sample_period;
$ perf record -c 100000
$ perf script -F event,period | head -3
Failed to open /tmp/perf-2048.map, continuing without symbols

When processing PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO several perf_evsel entries
will be synthesized and inserted into session->evlist, eventually ending
in perf_script.tool.sample(), which ends up calling builtin-script.c's
process_event(), that expects evsel->priv to be a perf_evsel_script
object with a valid FILE pointer in fp.
So we need to intercept the processing of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO and
then setup evsel->priv for these newly created perf_evsel instances, do
it to fix the segfault in process_event() trying to use a NULL for that
FILE pointer.

Use a typed enum for the perf_evsel_config_term type enum. This allows
gcc to do much stronger type checks, and also check for missing case

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.
Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.
Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.
I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.
