The option 'show-total-period' works fine without a option '-l'. But if
running 'perf annotate --stdio -l --show-total-period', you can see a
problem showing only zero '0' for number of samples.
Before:
$ perf annotate --stdio -l --show-total-period
...
0 : 400816: push %rbp
0 : 400817: mov %rsp,%rbp
0 : 40081a: mov %edi,-0x24(%rbp)
0 : 40081d: mov %rsi,-0x30(%rbp)
0 : 400821: mov -0x24(%rbp),%eax
0 : 400824: mov -0x30(%rbp),%rdx
0 : 400828: mov (%rdx),%esi
0 : 40082a: mov $0x0,%edx
...
The reason is it was missed to set number of samples of
source_line_samples, so set it ordinarily.
After:
$ perf annotate --stdio -l --show-total-period
...
3 : 400816: push %rbp
4 : 400817: mov %rsp,%rbp

It is wrong way to read link name from a build-id file. Because a
build-id file is not anymore a symbolic link but build-id directory of
it is symbolic link, so fix it.
For example, if build-id file name gotten from
dso__build_id_filename() is as below,
/root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1/elf
To correctly read link name of build-id, use the build-id dir path that
is a symbolic link, instead of the above build-id file name like below.
/root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1

Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in
total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all
addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces
srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us.
Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes
perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads.
The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the
status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist
entries that generate the same output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 'grep -v "filename"' applied to the objdump command output cause a
side effect eliminating filename:linenr of output of 'objdump -l' if the
object file name and source file name are the same, fix it.
E.g. the output of the following objdump command in symbol__disassemble():
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello --start-address=...
/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000400526 <main>:
main():
/home/taeung/hello.c:4
void main()
{
400526: 55 push %rbp
400527: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
/home/taeung/hello.c:5
...
But it uses grep -v "filename" e.g. "/home/taeung/hello" in the objdump
command to remove the first line containing file name and file format
("/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"):
Before:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello
But this causes a side effect, removing filename:linenr too, because the
object file and source file have the same name e.g. "/home/taueng/hello",
"/home/taeung/hello.c"
So more do a better match by using grep -v as below to correctly remove
that first line:
"/home/taeung/hello: file format elf64-x86-64"
After:
$ objdump -l -d -S -C /home/taeung/hello | grep /home/taeung/hello:

If jump target is outside of function range, perf is not handling it
correctly. Especially when target address is lesser than function start
address, target offset will be negative. But, target address declared to
be unsigned, converts negative number into 2's complement. See below
example. Here target of 'jumpq' instruction at 34cf8 is 34ac0 which is
lesser than function start address(34cf0).
34ac0 - 34cf0 = -0x230 = 0xfffffffffffffdd0

Before this patch the '_raw_spin_lock_irqsave' and 'update_rq_clock' operands
were appearing just as hexadecimal numbers:
update_blocked_averages /proc/kcore
│ push %r12
│ push %rbx
│ and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
│ sub $0x40,%rsp
│ add -0x662cac00(,%rdi,8),%rax
│ mov %rax,%rbx
│ mov %rax,%rdi
│ mov %rax,0x38(%rsp)
│ → callq _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rax,0x30(%rsp)
│ → callq update_rq_clock
│ mov 0x8d0(%rbx),%rax
│ lea 0x8d0(%rbx),%r11
To check that all is right one can always use the 'o' hotkey and see
the original objdump -dS output, that for this case is:
update_blocked_averages /proc/kcore
│ffffffff990d5489: push %r12
│ffffffff990d548b: push %rbx

│ffffffff990d54c0: lea 0x8d0(%rbx),%r11

More work needed to cover operands for other instructions, such as 'mov',
that can resolve variable names, etc.

I wanted to know the hottest path through a function and figured the
branch-stack (LBR) information should be able to help out with that.
The below uses the branch-stack to create basic blocks and generate
statistics from them.
from to branch_i
* ----> *
|
| block
v
* ----> *
from to branch_i+1
The blocks are broken down into non-overlapping ranges, while tracking
if the start of each range is an entry point and/or the end of a range
is a branch.
Each block iterates all ranges it covers (while splitting where required
to exactly match the block) and increments the 'coverage' count.
For the range including the branch we increment the taken counter, as
well as the pred counter if flags.predicted.
Using these number we can find if an instruction:
- had coverage; given by:
br->coverage / br->sym->max_coverage
This metric ensures each symbol has a 100% spot, which reflects the
observation that each symbol must have a most covered/hottest
block.
- is a branch target: br->is_target && br->start == add
- for targets, how much of a branch's coverages comes from it:
target->entry / branch->coverage
- is a branch: br->is_branch && br->end == addr
- for branches, how often it was taken:
br->taken / br->coverage
after all, all execution that didn't take the branch would have
incremented the coverage and continued onward to a later branch.
- for branches, how often it was predicted:
br->pred / br->taken
The coverage percentage is used to color the address and asm sections;
for low (<1%) coverage we use NORMAL (uncolored), indicating that these
instructions are not 'important'. For high coverage (>75%) we color the
address RED.
For each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction with
information on how often it was taken and predicted.
Output looks like (sans color, which does loose a lot of the
information :/)

If dso__build_id_filename(..., NULL, ...) returns !NULL its because it
allocated it, so, when reaching the 'if (dso__is_kcore()) test, we
already checked that and were just "fallbacking" to using
dso->long_name, but without freeing filename, thus leaking it.
Fix it by adding the dso__is_kcore() test to the 'or' group just after
it, the one containing the full fallback code, including freeing the
filename.

elsewhere, for instance target__strerror().
This is just the initial step, more work will be done, but first some
error handling bugs noticed while working on this need to be dealt with.

Staring at annotations of large functions is useless if there's only a
few samples in them. Report the number of samples in the header to make
this easier to determine.
Committer note:
The change amounts to:

Add basic support to parse ARM assembly.
This:
* enables perf to correctly show the disassembly, rather than chopping
some constants off at the '#' (which is not a comment character on
ARM).
* allows perf to identify ARM instructions that branch to other parts
within the same function, thereby properly annotating them.
* allows perf to identify function calls, allowing called functions to
be followed in the annotated view.

The --full-paths option did not show the full source file paths in the 'perf
annotate' tool, because the value of the option was not propagated into the
related functions.
With this patch the value of the --full-paths option is known to the function
that composes the srcline string, so it prints the full path when necessary.
Committer Note:
This affects annotate when the --print-line option is used:
# perf annotate -h 2>&1 | grep print-line
-l, --print-line print matching source lines (may be slow)
Looking just at the lines that should be affected by this change:
Before:
# perf annotate --print-line --full-paths --stdio fput | grep '\.[ch]:[0-9]\+'
94.44 atomic64_64.h:114
5.56 file_table.c:265
file_table.c:265 5.56 : ffffffff81219a00: callq ffffffff81769360 <__fentry__>
atomic64_64.h:114 94.44 : ffffffff81219a05: lock decq 0x38(%rdi)
After:
# perf annotate --print-line --full-paths --stdio fput | grep '\.[ch]:[0-9]\+'

When the browser fails to annotate it is difficult for users to find out
what went wrong.
Add some errors for objdump failures that are displayed in the UI.
Note it would be even better to handle these errors smarter, like
falling back to the binary when the debug info is somehow corrupted. But
for now just giving a better error is an improvement.
Committer note:
This works for --stdio, where errors just scroll by the screen:
# perf annotate --stdio intel_idle
Failure running objdump --start-address=0xffffffff81418290 --stop-address=0xffffffff814183ae -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 2>/dev/null|grep -v /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1|expand
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of vmlinux for cycles:pp
------------------------------------------------------------------
And with that one can use that command line to try to find out more about what
happened instead of getting a blank screen, an improvement.
We need tho to improve this further to get it to work with other UIs, like
--tui and --gtk, where it continues showing a blank screen, no messages, as
the pr_err() used is enough just for --stdio.

The "/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO" message comes up all the time
for 'perf script' if vmlinux is not found and the user isn't root, even
when the kernel is not being traced and even though the message is only
really relevant for annotation.
Change it to pr_debug and instead put a note in the message displayed if
annotation is not possible.
Also, the file being accessed might not be /proc/kcore. Tools can be
directed to a different location using the --kallsyms option in which
case kcore is expected to be in the same directory. Adjust the message
so it is not misleading in that case.

Fix the following 32-bit compilation errors:
util/annotate.c: In function ‘addr_map_symbol__account_cycles’:
util/annotate.c:643:3: error: format ‘%lx’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘u64’ [-Werror=format=]
pr_debug2("BB with bad start: addr %lx start %lx sym %lx saddr %lx\n",
^
util/annotate.c:643:3: error: format ‘%lx’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 5 has type ‘u64’ [-Werror=format=]
util/annotate.c:643:3: error: format ‘%lx’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 6 has type ‘u64’ [-Werror=format=]
These were introduced by the patch:
"perf report: Add infrastructure for a cycles histogram"
Also change the 'saddr' variable from 'unsigned long' to 'u64'
noting that theoretically we could be processing data captured
on a 64-bit machine but processing it on a 32-bit machine.
