Currently 'perf top --tui' decrements percentage of all entries on any
key press. This is because it adds total period as new samples are
added to hists. As perf-top does it currently but added samples are not
passed to the display thread, the percentages are decresing
continuously.
So separate total period stat into a different variable so that it
cannot affect the output total period. This new total period stats are
used only for calcualating callchain percent limit.

'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For
example:
# perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
# ls
# exit
Performance counter stats for 'bash':
266258061 instructions/no-inherit/
266258061 instructions/inherit/
1.402183915 seconds time elapsed
The result is confusing, because user may expect the first
'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command.
This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'.
Result:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/'
\___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
...
We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.
This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls

\___ unknown term
valid terms: config,config1,config2,name
# ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls

Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was
auto-tuned:
# dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2
[ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
[ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000
Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported
by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ,
it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test:
# perf test -v 21 2>&1 | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5
Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40

[root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out

For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the
user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or
bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

The ftracetest instance test used parsing of the "jobs" output to find the
pid of the subshell that is executed previously. But this is not portable to
all major shells that may run these tests. The proper way to get the pid of
the subshell is the shell command "$!". This will return the pid of the
previously executed command. Use that instead, otherwise the test does not
work in all environments.

This adds a GPIO line ABI for getting name, label and a few select
flags from the kernel.
This hides the kernel internals and only tells userspace what it
may need to know: the different in-kernel consumers are masked
behind the flag "kernel" and that is all userspace needs to know.
However electric characteristics like active low, open drain etc
are reflected to userspace, as this is important information.
We provide information on all lines on all chips, later on we will
likely add a flag for the chardev consumer so we can filter and
display only the lines userspace actually uses in e.g. lsgpio,
but then we first need an ABI for userspace to grab and use
(get/set/select direction) a GPIO line.
Sample output from "lsgpio" on ux500:
GPIO chip: gpiochip7, "8011e000.gpio", 32 GPIO lines
line 0: unnamed unlabeled

This is a second attempt to make the improvements from c6f2062935
("x86/signal/64: Fix SS handling for signals delivered to 64-bit
programs"), which was reverted by 51adbfbba5c6 ("x86/signal/64: Add
support for SS in the 64-bit signal context").
This adds two new uc_flags flags. UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS will be set for
all 64-bit signals (including x32). It indicates that the saved SS
field is valid and that the kernel supports the new behavior.
The goal is to fix a problems with signal handling in 64-bit tasks:
SS wasn't saved in the 64-bit signal context, making it awkward to
determine what SS was at the time of signal delivery and making it
impossible to return to a non-flat SS (as calling sigreturn clobbers
SS).
This also made it extremely difficult for 64-bit tasks to return to
fully-defined 16-bit contexts, because only the kernel can easily do
espfix64, but sigreturn was unable to set a non-flag SS:ESP.
(DOSEMU has a monstrous hack to partially work around this
limitation.)
If we could go back in time, the correct fix would be to make 64-bit
signals work just like 32-bit signals with respect to SS: save it
in signal context, reset it when delivering a signal, and restore
it in sigreturn.
Unfortunately, doing that (as I tried originally) breaks DOSEMU:
DOSEMU wouldn't reset the signal context's SS when clearing the LDT
and changing the saved CS to 64-bit mode, since it predates the SS
context field existing in the first place.
This patch is a bit more complicated, and it tries to balance a
bunch of goals. It makes most cases of changing ucontext->ss during
signal handling work as expected.
I do this by special-casing the interesting case. On sigreturn,
ucontext->ss will be honored by default, unless the ucontext was
created from scratch by an old program and had a 64-bit CS
(unfortunately, CRIU can do this) or was the result of changing a
32-bit signal context to 64-bit without resetting SS (as DOSEMU
does).
For the benefit of new 64-bit software that uses segmentation (new
versions of DOSEMU might), the new behavior can be detected with a
new ucontext flag UC_SIGCONTEXT_SS.
To avoid compilation issues, __pad0 is left as an alias for ss in
ucontext.
The nitty-gritty details are documented in the header file.
This patch also re-enables the sigreturn_64 and ldt_gdt_64 selftests,
as the kernel change allows both of them to pass.

of every metric doing it manually. This makes it easier to add new

A new patch in libbabeltrace [1] reveals a object leak problem in
'perf data' CTF support: perf code never releases the event_class
which is allocated in add_event() and stored in evsel's private field.
If libbabeltrace has the above patch applied, leaking event_class
prevents the writer from being destroyed and flushing metadata. For
example:
$ perf record ls
perf.data
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (12 samples) ]
$ perf data convert --to-ctf ./out.ctf
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.000 MB (12 samples) ]
$ cat ./out.ctf/metadata
$ ls -l ./out.ctf/metadata
-rw-r----- 1 w00229757 mm 0 Jan 27 10:49 ./out.ctf/metadata
The correct result should be:
...
$ cat ./out.ctf/metadata
/* CTF 1.8 */
trace {
[SNIP]
$ ls -l ./out.ctf/metadata
-rw-r----- 1 w00229757 mm 2446 Jan 27 10:52 ./out.ctf/metadata
The full story is:
Patch [1] of babeltrace redesigns its reference counting scheme. In that
patch:
* writer <- trace (bt_ctf_writer_create)
* trace <- stream_class (bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class)
* stream_class <- event_class (bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class)
('<-' means 'is a parent of')
Holding of event_class causes reference count of corresponding 'writer'
to increase through parent chain. Perf expects that 'writer' is released
(so metadata is flushed) through bt_ctf_writer_put() in
ctf_writer__cleanup(). However, since it never releases event_class, the
reference of 'writer' won't be dropped, so bt_ctf_writer_put() won't
lead to the release of writer.
Before this CTF patch, !(writer <- trace). Even with event_class leaking,
the writer ends up being released.

returning a string padded with spaces so that when the next column is
printed the cursor is at its column alignment.
This ends up needlessly printing trailing spaces, do it at the format
iterator, that is where we know if it is needed, i.e. if there is more
columns to be printed.
This eliminates the need for triming lines when doing a dump using 'P'
in the TUI browser and also produces far saner results with things like
piping 'perf report' to 'less'.
Right now only the formatters for sym->name and the 'locked' column
(perf mem report), that are the ones that end up at the end of lines
in the default 'perf report', 'perf top' and 'perf mem report' tools,
the others will be done in a subsequent patch.
In the end the 'width' parameter for the formatters now mean, in
'printf' terms, the 'precision', where before it was the field 'width'.
