You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain
may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add
handler in perf inject for merging this events.
My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets
stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event
contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all
stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events.
I use the next sequence of commands for testing:
perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \
-e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \
~/test-program
perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data
perf report --stdio -i ~/perf.data

Ingo reported (again!) that 'make clean' on perf/traceevent does not
work due to some reason with system header file. Quotes Ingo:
"Note that the old dependency related build failure thought to be
fixed in commit 860df5833e is back:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/stddef.h', needed by `.trace-seq.d'. Stop.
'make clean' itself does not work in libtraceevent:
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent> make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/stddef.h', needed by `.trace-seq.d'. Stop.
So I had to clean it out manually:
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent> git ls-files --others | xargs rm
comet:~/tip/tools/lib/traceevent>
and then things build fine."
Try to fix it by excluding system headers from dependency generation.

In order to decide if ktest should bother installing modules on the
target box, it checks if the config file has CONFIG_MODULES=y. But it
also checks if the '=y' part exists. It only will install modules if the
config exists and is set with '=y'. But as the regex that was used
tests:
/^CONFIG_MODULES(=y)?/
this will also match:
CONFIG_MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
as the '=y' part was optional and it did not test the rest of the line.
When this happens, ktest will stop checking the rest of the configs but
it will also think that no modules are needed to be installed. What it
should do is only jump out of the loop if it actually found a
CONFIG_MODULES that is set to true.
Otherwise, ktest wont install the necessary modules needed for proper
booting of the test target.

Platforms (e.g., VM's) without support for precise mode get a confusing
error message. e.g.,
$ perf record -e cycles:p -a -- sleep 1
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No hardware sampling interrupt available. No APIC? If so then you can
boot the kernel with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it.
sleep: Terminated
which is not clear that precise mode might be the root problem. With this
patch:
$ perf record -e cycles:p -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
Error:
'precise' request may not be supported. Try removing 'p' modifier
sleep: Terminated
v2: softened message to 'may not be' supported per Robert's suggestion

virtio requests are scatter-gather-style descriptors, but no
assumptions should be made about the layout. lguest was lazy here,
but saved by the fact that the network device hands all requests to
tun (which does it correctly) and console and random devices simply
use readv and writev.
Block devices, however, are broken: we convert to iovecs internally,
just make sure we handle the correctly.

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
* The python binding needs to link with libtraceevent and to initialize
the 'page_size' variable so that mmaping works again.
* The callchain folding character that appears on the TUI just before
the overhead had disappeared due to recent changes, add it back.
* Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This either
results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and 'crashing'
the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x enter and
re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.
Kernel side enforcement fix by Peter Zijlstra, tooling side fix by David Ahern.
* Fix build on sparc due to UAPI, fix from David Miller.
* Fixes for the srclike sort key for unresolved symbols and when processing

Even though with the change of commit commit 2b29175 "tools lib
traceevent: Carve out events format parsing routine", allowed
__pevent_parse_format() to parse an event without the need of a pevent
handler, the event still needs to assign the pevent handed to it.
There's no problem with assigning it if the pevent is NULL, as the
event->pevent would be NULL without the assignment. But function parsing
handlers may be assigned to the pevent handler to help in parsing the
event. If there's no pevent then there would not be any function
handlers, but if the pevent isn't assigned first before parsing the
event, it wont honor the function handlers that were assigned.
Worse yet, the current code crashes if an event has a function that it
tries to parse. For example:
# perf record -e scsi:scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This happens because the scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout event format has the following:
scsi_trace_parse_cdb(p, __get_dynamic_array(cmnd), REC->cmd_len)
which hasn't been defined by the pevent code.

Summary of events per Peter:
"Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This
either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and
'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x
enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.
AMB IBS does work but doesn't currently support exclude_* at all,
setting an exclude_* bit will make it fail."
This patch handles userspace perf command, setting the exclude_guest
attribute if precise mode is requested, but only if a user has not
specified a request for guest or host only profiling (G or H attribute).
Kernel side AMD currently ignores all exclude_* bits, so there is no impact
to existing IBS code paths. Robert Richter has a patch where IBS code will
return EINVAL if an exclude_* bit is set. When this goes in it means use
of :p on AMD with IBS will first fail with EINVAL (because exclude_guest
will be set). Then the existing fallback code within perf will unset
exclude_guest and try again. The second attempt will succeed if the CPU
supports IBS profiling.
