Frederic Weisbecker 2ba0825075 perf tools: Introduce bitmask'ed additional headers
This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
optional features present in the perf.data file.

The layout can be pictured like this:

(Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
n][Feature 255]

If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
compatibility.

The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
this is the first and only one for now.

This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.

And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
version.

Li Zefan c171b552a7 perf trace: Add filter Suppport
Add a new option "--filter <filter_str>" to perf record, and
it should be right after "-e trace_point":

 #./perf record -R -f -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter irq==18
 ^C
 # ./perf trace
            perf-4303  ... irq_handler_entry: irq=18 handler=eth0

Mike Galbraith 7e4ff9e3e8 perf tools: Fix counter sample frequency breakage
Commit 42e59d7d19 switched to a default sample frequency of
1KHz, which overrides any user supplied count, causing sched, top
and timechart to miss events due to their discrete events
being flagged PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD.

Override default sample frequency when the user profides a
period count, and make both record and top honor that user
supplied option.

Frederic Weisbecker 03456a158d perf tools: Merge trace.info content into perf.data
This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.

This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.

A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.

That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.

But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

Ingo Molnar 42e59d7d19 perf tools: Default to 1 KHz auto-sampling freq events
Use auto-freq events by default in perf record and
perf top.

This allows more consistent hardware event sampling,
regardless of the intensity of the underlying event.

It also keeps us from over-sampling on larger/busier
systems.

(also make surrounding initializations more consistent)

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

This can cause a _lot_ of overhead with --all recording - we keep

Ingo Molnar ea57c4f520 perf tools: Implement counter output multiplexing
Finish the -M/--multiplex option implementation:

 - separate it out from group_fd

 - correctly set it via the ioctl and dont mmap counters that
   are multiplexed

 - modify the perf record event loop to deal with buffer-less
   counters.

 - remove the -g option from perf sched record

 - account for unordered events in perf sched latency

 - (add -f to perf sched record to ease measurements)

 - skip idle threads (pid==0) in latency output

The result is better latency output by 'perf sched latency':

Frederic Weisbecker d13025222c perf tools: Add an option to multiplex counters in a single channel
Add an option to multiplex counters output in the channel of
the group leader, ie: the first counter opened:

	-M --multiplex

The effect is better serialized samples. This is especially
useful for tracepoint samples that need to be well serialized
for their post-processing.

Also make use of this option in 'perf sched'.

Frederic Weisbecker 9df37ddd81 perf tools: Record events info also when :record suffix is used.
You can enable a counter's PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in two
fashions:

- using the -R option (every counters get PERF_SAMPLE_RAW)
- using the :record suffix in a trace event counter name

Currently we record the events info in a trace.info file from
perf record when the former method is used but we omit it with
the latter.

Frederic Weisbecker 5f9c39dca5 perf tools: Add perf trace
This adds perf trace into the set of perf tools.

It is written to fetch the tracepoint samples from perf events
and display them, according to the events information given by
the debugfs files through the util/trace* tools.

It is a rough first shot and doesn't yet handle the cpu,
timestamps fields and some other things.

Example:

 perf record -f -e workqueue:workqueue_execution:record -F 1 -a
 perf trace

       kblockd/0-236   [000]     0.000000: workqueue_execution: thread=:236 func=cfq_kick_queue+0x0

Librarize trace_event() helper so that perf trace can use it

It's not good to have it included in perf.h because it doesn't
make it flexible against other headers it may need (headers
that can also depend on perf.h and then create a recursive
header dependency).

1. Ignore the -A argument if there is no perf.data file
2. Treat an empty file like a non existent file.

Else, perf will try to read the perf.data header, and fail with
an error.

Treating an empty file like a non-existent file makes sense,
since an interupted (as in SIGKILLed) perf could leave such
files around, and you don't want to annoy the user with errors
for files with no data in it.

Frederic Weisbecker f413cdb80c perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling
This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.

A new counter sampling attribute is added:

   PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD

which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.

Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:

 perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
 perf report -D

 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
 .
 . ... raw event: size 72 bytes

.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33

The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

Translation:

 struct trace_entry {
	type		= 0x2b = 43;
	flags		= 1;
	preempt_count	= 2;
	pid		= 0xa = 10;
	tgid		= 0xa = 10;
 }

 thread_comm = "events/1"
 thread_pid  = 0xa = 10;
 func	    = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()

What will come next?

 - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
   for perf trace, etc.

 - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
   some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
   occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
   to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
   This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.

 - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
   a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
   the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
   That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
   protection.

 - [...]

 - Profit! :-)

Paul Mackerras 9cffa8d533 perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long.  This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.

Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8.  These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.

The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__".  The other changes are:

* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
  to kill two remaining warnings.

Causing an early exit() and no recording done.

Do not abort the recording session - instead just skip that task.

Also, only print the warnings under -v.

Ingo Molnar 3efa1cc99e perf record/report: Add call graph / call chain profiling
Add the first steps of call-graph profiling:

 - add the -c (--call-graph) option to perf record
 - parse the call-graph record and printout out under -D (--dump-trace)

The call-graph data is not put into the histogram yet, but it
can be seen that it's being processed correctly:

0x3ce0 [0x38]: event: 35
.
. ... raw event: size 56 bytes
.  0000:  23 00 00 00 05 00 38 00 d4 df 0e 81 ff ff ff ff  #.....8........

0x3ce0 [0x38]: PERF_EVENT (IP, 5): 2912: 0xffffffff810edfd4 period: 1

.....  1: 0x3641ed61a0
.....  2: 0x3641e69204
 ... thread: perf:2912
 ...... dso: [kernel]

This shows a 3-entry call-graph: with 1 kernel-space and two user-space
entries

Peter Zijlstra bbd36e5e6a perf record: Explicity program a default counter
Up until now record has worked on the assumption that type=0, config=0
was a suitable configuration - which it is. Lets make this a little more
explicit and more readable via the use of proper symbols.

[ Impact: cleanup ]

Ingo Molnar 729ff5e2aa perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usage
A build error slipped in:

 builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
 builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

Peter Zijlstra f7b7c26e01 perf_counter tools: Propagate signals properly
Currently report and stat catch SIGINT (and others) without altering
their exit state. This means that things like:

   while :; do perf stat ./foo ; done

Loops become hard-to-interrupt, because bash never sees perf terminate
due to interruption. Fix this.

Peter Zijlstra 4502d77c1d perf_counter tools: Small frequency related fixes
Create the counter in a disabled state and only enable it after we
mmap() the buffer, this allows us to see the first few samples (and
observe the frequency ramp).

Furthermore, print the period in the verbose report.

Ingo Molnar 3da297a60f perf record: Fall back to cpu-clock-ticks if no PMU
On architectures/CPUs without PMU support but with perfcounters
enabled 'perf record' currently fails because it cannot create a
cycle based hw-perfcounter.

Fall back to the cpu-clock-tick sw-perfcounter in this case, which
is hrtimer based and will always work (as long as perfcounters
are enabled).
