Jiri Olsa a2015516c5 perf record: Synthesize features before events in pipe mode
We need to synthesize events first, because some features works on top
of them (on report side).

Yisheng Xie cff17205d6 perf record: Avoid duplicate call of perf_default_config()
We have brought perf_default_config to the very beginning at main(), so
it no need to call perf_default_config() once more for most of config in
perf-record but only for record.call-graph.

Jiri Olsa ad46e48c65 perf record: Fix crash in pipe mode
Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like:

  $ perf record ls | perf report
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  perf: Segmentation fault
  Error:
  The - file has no samples!

The callstack of the crash is:

    0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
  3513            ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]);
  (gdb) bt
  #0  0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
  #1  0x00000000005158a4 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr
  #2  0x0000000000443347 in record__synthesize
  #3  0x00000000004438e3 in __cmd_record
  #4  0x000000000044514e in cmd_record
  #5  0x00000000004cbc95 in run_builtin
  #6  0x00000000004cbf02 in handle_internal_command
  #7  0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv
  #8  0x00000000004cc422 in main

The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array
allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it.

We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because
it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for
single event as a key for evsel update event.

Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when
we are in pipe mode.

Jin Yao 68588baf8d perf record: Record the first and last sample time in the header
In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().

Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Changelog:

v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.

v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
    on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
    to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
    once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
    calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.

    While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
    "--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
    timestamp boundary calculation.

v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
    '--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
    be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the
    processing skips the dso hit marking for this case.

    At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
    While after consideration, I think a new option is not very
    necessary.

v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time
    from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

Mengting Zhang ca8000684e perf evsel: Enable ignore_missing_thread for pid option
While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with
error.

Here, the patch enables perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -p option
to ignore complete failure if any of threads die before we open the event.
But it may still return sys_perf_event_open failure with 22(Invalid) if we
monitors several event groups.

        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28960  cpu 40  group_fd 118202  flags 0x8
        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28961  cpu 40  group_fd 118203  flags 0x8
        WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 28962
        sys_perf_event_open: pid 28962  cpu 40  group_fd [118203]  flags 0x8
        sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22

That is because when we ignore a missing thread, we change the thread_idx
without dealing with its fds, FD(evsel, cpu, thread). Then get_group_fd()
may return a wrong group_fd for the next thread and sys_perf_event_open()
return with 22.

        sys_perf_event_open(){
           ...
           if (group_fd != -1)
               perf_fget_light()//to get corresponding group_leader by group_fd
           ...
           if (group_leader)
              if (group_leader->ctx->task != ctx->task)//should on the same task
                   goto err_context
           ...
        }

This patch also fixes this bug by introducing perf_evsel__remove_fd() and
update_fds to allow removing fds for the missing thread.

Changes since v1:
- Change group_fd__remove() into a more genetic way without changing code logic
- Remove redundant condition

Changes since v2:
- Use a proper function name and add some comment.
- Multiline comment style fixes.

Committer testing:

Before this patch the recently added 'perf stat --per-thread' for system
wide counting would race while enumerating all threads using /proc:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
  failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -C, --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  [root@jouet ~]# perf stat --per-thread
  failed to parse CPUs map: No such file or directory

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -C, --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  [root@jouet ~]#

When, say, the kernel was being built, so lots of shortlived threads,
after this patch this doesn't happen.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d3dbf43c56 perf record: Generate PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} with --delay
When we use an initial delay, e.g.: 'perf record --delay 1000', we do not
enable the events until that delay has passed after we started the workload,
including the tracking event, i.e. the one for which we have attr.mmap, etc,
enabled to ask the kernel to generate the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} metadata
events that will then allow us to resolve addresses in samples to the map, dso
and symbol. There will be a shadow that even synthesizing samples won't cover,
i.e. the workload that we start and other processes forking while we
wait for the initial delay to expire.

So use a dummy event to be the tracking one and make it be enabled on exec.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Kan Liang 340b47f510 perf top: Implement multithreading for perf_event__synthesize_threads
The proc files which is sorted with alphabetical order are evenly
assigned to several synthesize threads to be processed in parallel.

For 'perf top', the threads number hard code to online CPU number. The
following patch will introduce an option to set it.

For other perf tools, the thread number is 1. Because the process
function is not ready for multithreading, e.g.
process_synthesized_event.

This patch series only support event synthesize multithreading for 'perf
top'. For other tools, it can be done separately later.

With multithread applied, the total processing time can get up to 1.56x
speedup on Knights Mill for 'perf top'.

For specific single event processing, the processing time could increase
because of the lock contention. So proc_map_timeout may need to be
increased. Otherwise some proc maps will be truncated.

Based on my test, increasing the proc_map_timeout has small impact
on the total processing time. The total processing time still get 1.49x
speedup on Knights Mill after increasing the proc_map_timeout.
The patch itself doesn't increase the proc_map_timeout.

Doesn't need to implement multithreading for per task monitoring,
perf_event__synthesize_thread_map. It doesn't have performance issue.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4b4cd50319 perf record: Do not ask for precise_ip with --no-samples
When the user doesn't specify an event with -e/--event, 'perf record'
will use as a default the "cycles" event with the highest level of
precision in perf_event_attr.precise_ip, but --no-samples, if present,
is incompatible with precise_ip != 0, so use the newly introduced
__perf_event__add_default(precise = false) to fix that:

Before:

  # perf record -n usleep 1
  Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
  Error:

Hari Bathini e907caf3a0 perf record: Synthesize namespace events for current processes
Synthesize PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events for processes that were running prior
to invocation of perf record. The data for this is taken from /proc/$PID/ns.
These changes make way for analyzing events with regard to namespaces.

Committer notes:

Check if 'tool' is NULL in perf_event__synthesize_namespaces(), as in the
test__mmap_thread_lookup case, i.e. 'perf test Lookup mmap thread".

Hari Bathini f3b3614a28 perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info
Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

  util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
     ret  += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx

With this we avoid this while compiling with clang:

  builtin-record.c:659:21: error: field 'map' with variable sized type 'struct thread_map' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU extension
        [-Werror,-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end]
                  struct thread_map map;
                                    ^

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d6195a6a2c perf evsel: Inform how to make a sysctl setting permanent
When a tool can't open counters due to the kernel.perf_event_paranoit
sysctl setting, we inform how to tweak it to allow the operation to
succeed, in addition to that, suggest setting /etc/sysctl.conf to
make the setting permanent.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ecc4c5614b perf tools: Propagate perf_config() errors
Previously these were being ignored, sometimes silently.

Stop doing that, emitting debug messages and handling the errors.

Testing it:

Jiri Olsa bfacbe3bf2 perf record: Add switch-output time option argument
It's now possible to specify the threshold time for perf.data like:

  $ perf record --switch-output=30s ...

Once it's reached, the current data are dumped in to the
perf.data.<timestamp> file and session does on.

  $ perf record --switch-output=30s ...
  [ perf record: dump data: Woken up 44 times ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2017010213043746 ]
  ...

The time is expected to be a number with appended unit
character - s/m/h/d.
