[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (~363 samples) ]
That lead me and David Ahern to see that something was fishy on the thread
synthesizing routines, at least for the case where the workload is started
from 'perf record', as -1 is the default for target_tid in 'perf record --tid'
parameter, so somehow we were trying to synthesize the PERF_RECORD_MMAP and
PERF_RECORD_COMM events for the thread -1, a bug.
So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for
recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and
that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event
synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of
threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.
Checked in the following ways:
On a 8-way machine run cyclictest:

This will create one extra thread per CPU:
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches
pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd
28825 OTHER 0 0xff 2169 671 cyclictest
28832 FIFO 93 6 52338 1 cyclictest
28833 FIFO 92 7 46524 1 cyclictest
28826 FIFO 99 0 209360 1 cyclictest
28827 FIFO 98 1 139577 1 cyclictest
28828 FIFO 97 2 104686 0 cyclictest

28830 FIFO 95 4 69794 1 cyclictest
28831 FIFO 94 5 59825 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
So we should expect only samples for the above 9 threads when using the
--dump-raw-trace|-D perf report switch to look at the column with the tid:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
629 28825
110 28826
491 28827

621 28830
225 28831
203 28832
89 28833
[root@emilia ~]#
So for workloads started by 'perf record' seems to work, now for existing workloads,
just run cyclictest first, without 'perf record':
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches
pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd
28859 OTHER 0 0xff 594 200 cyclictest
28864 FIFO 95 4 16587 1 cyclictest

28862 FIFO 97 2 24895 1 cyclictest
28863 FIFO 96 3 19918 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
and then later did:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --pid 28859 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (~1195 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]#
To collect 3 seconds worth of samples for pid 28859 and its children:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
15 28859
33 28860
19 28861
13 28862
13 28863
10 28864
11 28865
9 28866
255 28867
[root@emilia ~]#
Works, last thing is to check if looking at just one of those threads also works:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --tid 28866 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data (~242 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
3 28866
[root@emilia ~]#
Works too.

Was replaced with:
aggr->val = 0;
Which is equivalent to zeroing just the first entry in the 'count'

Fix it by zeroing the three entries with:
aggr->val = aggr->ena = aggr->run = 0;

In ARM's Thumb mode the bottom bit of the symbol address is set to mark
the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2
byte alignments, and when the +1 address is used in annotate it causes
objdump to disassemble invalid instructions.
The patch removes that bottom bit during symbol loading.

It was broken by f006d25 that passed just the event name, not the complete
sys:event that it expected to open the /sys/.../sys/sys:event/id file to get
the id.
Fix it by moving it to after parse_events in cmd_record, as at that point
we can just traverse the evsel_list and use evsel->attr.config +
event_name(evsel) instead of re-opening the /id file.

Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem
is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because
perf-record reads sample data in whole pages.
So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay"

Use it with something like this:
(1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>'

Before we had sym_counter, it was initialized to zero and we used that
as an index in the global attrs variable, now we have a list of evsel
entries, and sym_counter became sym_evsel, that remained initialized to
zero (NULL): b00m.
Fix it by initializing it to the first entry in the evsel list.

We need to defer calling perf_evsel_list__delete() till after atexit
registered routines, because we need to traverse the events being
recorded at that time at least on 'perf record'.
This fixes the problem reported by Thomas Renninger where cmd_record
called by cmd_timechart would not write the tracing data to the perf.data
file header because the evsel_list at atexit (control+C on 'perf timechart
record') time would be empty, being already deleted by run_builtin(),
and thus 'perf timechart' when trying to process such perf.data file would
die with:
"no trace data in the file"

1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
2: detect open syscall event: Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
[acme@felicio linux]$
Translating C the test does:
1. generates different number of open syscalls on each CPU
by using sched_setaffinity
2. Verifies that the expected number of events is generated
on each CPU
It works as expected.

For unsupported events (e.g., H/W events when running in a VM)
perf stat currently fails with the error message:
Error: open_counter returned with 2 (No such file or directory).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
Fatal: Not all events could be opened.
dmesg is of no help and it is not clear as to why it fails to
open the counter. This patch changes the error message to
Error: cache-misses event is not supported.
Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

Since commit 69aad6f1(perf tools: Introduce event selectors), only
perf_event_attr::type and ::config are passed to event selector, which
makes perf tool not work correctly.
For example, PEBS does not work because perf_event_attr::precise_ip is
not passed to the syscall.

It seems that some gcc versions build by default with frame pointers
and some others omit them.
Just build the tools with frame pointers as the callchains can be an
important part of the perf workflow.

I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand,
such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like
this:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7]
....
The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this:
$ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`
The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all
events, and will overflow the 'filename' at:
strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname));
This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has
been found.

This patch fixes the usage of the perf_event.h header file
between command modules and the supporting code in util.
It is necessary to ensure that ALL files use the SAME
perf_event.h header from the kernel source tree.
There were a couple of #include <linux/perf_event.h> mixed
with #include "../../perf_event.h".
This caused issues on some distros because of mismatch
in the layout of struct perf_event_attr. That eventually
led perf stat to segfault.

builtin-timechart must only pass -e power:xy events if they are supported by
the running kernel, otherwise try to fetch the old power:power{start,end}
events.
For this I added the tiny helper function:
int is_valid_tracepoint(const char *event_string)
to parse-events.[hc], which could be more generic as an interface and support
hardware/software/... events, not only tracepoints, but someone else could
extend that if needed...

To test the use of the perf_evsel class on something other than
the tools from where we refactored code to create it.
It calls open() N times and then checks if the event created to
monitor it returns N events.
[acme@felicio linux]$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
2: detect open syscall event: Ok
[acme@felicio linux]$
It does.

While writing the first user of the routines created from the ad-hoc
routines in the existing builtins I noticed that the resulting set of
calls was too long, reduce it by doing some best effort allocations.
Tools that need to operate on multiple threads and cpus should pre-allocate
enough resources by explicitely calling the perf_evsel__alloc_{fd,counters}
methods.

Abstracting away the loops needed to create the various event fd handlers.
The users have to pass a confiruged perf->evsel.attr field, which is already
usable after perf_evsel__new (constructor) time, using defaults.
Comes out of the ad-hoc routines in builtin-stat, that now uses it.
Fixed a small silly bug where we were die()ing before killing our
children, dysfunctional family this one 8-)
