Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize
events transparently to the tools.
The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used
directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is
easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding
tool.
This will work as follows:
1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using
perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come).
2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due
to the auxtrace->process_event() hook.
3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the
event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event().
Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is
time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that
were recorded.

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.
This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.
Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.
Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

Add two user events for AUX area tracing.
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO contains metadata, consisting primarily the
type of the AUX area tracing data plus some amount of
architecture-specific information. There should be only one
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO event.
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE identifies AUX area tracing data copied from the
mmapped AUX area tracing region. The actual data is not part of the
event but immediately follows it.

This patch supports the addition to the kernel of AUX area buffers that
can be mmapped separately from the perf-events buffer.
The AUX buffer can be configured to contain hardware-produced trace
information. The first implementation will support Intel BTS and Intel
PT.
One auxtrace buffer is mmapped per perf-events buffer. If the requested
auxtrace buffer size is zero, which it will be until further support is
added, then no auxtrace mmapping is attempted.

When converting int values, perf first extractes it to a ulonglong, then
feeds it to babeltrace as a signed value.
For negative 32 bit values (for example, return values of failed
syscalls), the extracted data should be something like 0xfffffffe (-2).
It becomes a large int64 value.
Babeltrace denies to insert it with bt_ctf_field_signed_integer_set_value()
because it is larger than 0x7fffffff, the largest positive value a
32 bit int can be.
This patch introduces adjust_signedness(), which fills high bits of
ulonglong with 1 if the value is negative.

The futex-requeue benchmark can hang because of missing wakeups once the
benchmark is done, ie:
[Run 1]: Requeued 1024 of 1024 threads in 0.3290 ms
perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (135/1024)
This bug, while perhaps suggesting missing wakeups in kernel futex code,
is merely a consequence of the crappy FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE man page,
incorrectly mentioning that the number of requeued tasks is in fact
returned, not the wakeups.
This patch acknowledges this and updates the corresponding futex_wake
code around it.

We were not checking in the inner event processing loop if the forked workload
had finished, which, on a busy system, may make it take a long time trying to
drain events, entering a seemingly neverending loop, waiting for the system to
get idle enough to make it drain the buffers.
Fix it by disabling the events when 'done' is true, in the inner loop, to start
draining what is in the buffers.

perf trace: No need to enable evsels for workload started from perf
The assumption was that whenever a workload is specified, the
attr.enable_on_exec evsel flag would be set, but that is not happening
when perf_record_opts.system_wide is set, for instance
That resulted in both perf_evlist__enable() and attr.enable_on_exec
being not called/set, which made the events to remain disabled while the
workload runs, producing no output.
Fix it, by calling perf_evlist__enable() in the 'trace' tool
when forking and not targetting a workload started from trace
v2: Test against !target__none(), as suggested by Namhyung Kim, that is
what is used in perf_evsel__config() when deciding if the
attr.enable_on_exec flag to be set. More work is needed to cover other
cases such as opts->initial_delay.

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)
The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:
User visible changes affecting all tools:
- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
User visible changes in individual tools:
'perf data':
New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)
'perf diff':
Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)
'perf list':
Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)
Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)
'perf kmem':
Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)
Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)
Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)
Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)
Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)
'perf sched':
Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)
'perf report' and 'perf top':
Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)
Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
'perf stat':
Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)
Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)
'perf trace':
Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.
Can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
[ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp
00007ffcbfaaf900 error 4 in libdw-0.161.so[7fc6e10ce000+34000]
Segmentation fault
After this patch:
$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
Added new event:
probe:_stext (on @fs/super.c)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:_stext -aR sleep 1

When perf probe searched in a debuginfo file and failed, it tried with
an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event():
memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp));
memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point));
In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in
find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.
Can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe -v -k vmlinux --add='sys_write%return'
...
Added new event:
Writing event: p:probe/sys_write _stext+1584952
probe:sys_write (on sys_write%return)
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/sys_write _stext+1584952
After this patch:
$ perf probe -v -k vmlinux --add='sys_write%return'
Added new event:
Writing event: r:probe/sys_write SyS_write+0
probe:sys_write (on sys_write%return)

To avoid probing in unintended binary, the orphaned -x option must be
checked and warned.
Without this patch, following command sets up the probe in the kernel.
-----
# perf probe -a strcpy -x ./perf
Added new event:
probe:strcpy (on strcpy)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:strcpy -aR sleep 1
-----
But in this case, it seems that the user may want to probe in the perf
binary. With this patch, perf-probe correctly handles the orphaned -x.
-----
# perf probe -a strcpy -x ./perf
Error: -x/-m must follow the probe definitions.

Support multiple probes on different binaries with just
one command.
In the result, this example sets up the probes on icmp_rcv in
kernel, on main and set_target in perf, and on pcspkr_event
in pcspker.ko driver.
-----
# perf probe -a icmp_rcv -x ./perf -a main -a set_target \
-m /lib/modules/4.0.0-rc5+/kernel/drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.ko \
-a pcspkr_event
Added new event:
probe:icmp_rcv (on icmp_rcv)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:icmp_rcv -aR sleep 1
Added new event:
probe_perf:main (on main in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:main -aR sleep 1
Added new event:
probe_perf:set_target (on set_target in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:set_target -aR sleep 1
Added new event:
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event in pcspkr)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:pcspkr_event -aR sleep 1

commit: f3b623b849 ("perf tools: Reference count struct thread")
appends every thread->node to dead_threads in machine__remove_thread()
and list_del_init() this node in thread__put().
perf_event__exit_del_thread() releases thread wihout using
machine__remove_thread(), and causes a NULL pointer crash when
list_del_init(&thread->node) is called. Fix this by using
machine_remove_thread() instead of using thread__put() directly.
This problem can be reproduced as following:
$ perf record ls
$ perf buildid-list --with-hits
[ 3874.195070] perf[1018]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000004b0b15 sp
