The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g.
jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop
needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret"
instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is
assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a
decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code.
Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic
purposes have been reported to exceed that.
Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config
intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to
mention the configuration entry.

The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some
cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.
Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.
Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.
Example:
A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.
# for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
rtm
Test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <immintrin.h>
int main()
{
int x = 0;
if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
x = 1;
_xabort(1);
} else {
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
return 0;
}
Compile with -mrtm i.e.
gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort

Even when VMX TSC Offset is not changing (during perf record), different
virtual machines can have different TSC Offsets. There is a Virtual Machine
Control Structure (VMCS) for each virtual CPU, the address of which is
reported to Intel PT in the VMCS packet. We do not know which VMCS belongs
to which virtual machine, so use a tree to keep track of VMCS information.
Then the decoder will be able to use the current VMCS value to look up the
current TSC Offset.

The instruction latency information can be recorded on some platforms,
e.g., the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. With both memory latency
(weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can easily
locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.
The 'weight' field is shared among different architectures. Reusing the
'weight' field may impacts other architectures. Add a new field to store
the instruction latency.
Like the 'weight' support, introduce a 'ins_lat' for the global
instruction latency, and a 'local_ins_lat' for the local instruction
latency version.
Add new sort functions, INSTR Latency and Local INSTR Latency,
accordingly.
Add local_ins_lat to the default_mem_sort_order[].

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample
type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample
types simultaneously.
The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. The lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample
type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture.
Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample
type for X86. Only store the lower 32 bits for the sample->weight if the
new sample type is applied. In practice, no memory access could last
than 4G cycles. No data will be lost.
If the kernel doesn't support the new sample type. Fall back to the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
There is no impact for other architectures.

Commit 42bbabed09 ("perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack")
changed the format of branch stacks in perf samples. When samples use
this new format, a flag must be set in the corresponding event.
Synthesized branch stacks generated from Intel PT were using the new
format, but not setting the event attribute, leading to consumers
seeing corrupt data. This patch fixes the issue by setting the event
attribute to indicate use of the new format.

Change Intel PT's branch stack support to use thread stacks. The
advantages of using branch stack support from the thread-stack are:
1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces
This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.
While the 2 approaches are not identical, in simple cases the results
can be identical e.g.
Before:
# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt// uname
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp1.txt
After:
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp2.txt
# diff -s cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

Intel PT already has support for creating branch stacks for each context
(per-cpu or per-thread). In the more common per-cpu case, the branch stack
is not separated for different threads, instead being cleared in between
each sample.
That approach will not work very well for adding branch stacks to
regular events. The branch stacks really need to be accumulated
separately for each thread.
As a start to accomplishing that, this patch adds support for putting
branch stack support into the thread-stack. The advantages are:
1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces
This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.

In LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack limits
to the number of LBR registers.
For example, on skylake, the depth of reconstructed LBR call stack is
always <= 32.

For a call stack which is deeper than LBR limit, HW will overwrite the
LBR register with oldest branch. Only partial call stacks can be
reconstructed.
However, the overwritten LBRs may still be retrieved from previous
sample. At that moment, HW hasn't overwritten the LBR registers yet.
Perf tools can stitch those overwritten LBRs on current call stacks to
get a more complete call stack.
To determine if LBRs can be stitched, perf tools need to compare current
sample with previous sample.
- They should have identical LBR records (Same from, to and flags
values, and the same physical index of LBR registers).
- The searching starts from the base-of-stack of current sample.
Once perf determines to stitch the previous LBRs, the corresponding LBR
cursor nodes will be copied to 'lists'. The 'lists' is to track the LBR
cursor nodes which are going to be stitched.
When the stitching is over, the nodes will not be freed immediately.
They will be moved to 'free_lists'. Next stitching may reuse the space.
Both 'lists' and 'free_lists' will be freed when all samples are
processed.
Committer notes:
Fix the intel-pt.c initialization of the union with 'struct
branch_flags', that breaks the build with its unnamed union on older gcc
versions.
Uninline thread__free_stitch_list(), as it grew big and started dragging
includes to thread.h, so move it to thread.c where what it needs in
terms of headers are already there.
This fixes the build in several systems such as debian:experimental when
cross building to the MIPS32 architecture, i.e. in the other cases what
was needed was being included by sheer luck.

The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.
However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].
To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.
Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.
Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.
Committer notes:
Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.
Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.
Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.
The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.
That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.
First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.
