Callchains are automatically initialized by checking on event's
sample_type. For pipe mode we need to put this check into attr event
code.
Moving the callchains setup code into callchain_param_setup function and
calling it from attr event process code.
This enables pipe output having callchains, like:
# perf record -g -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' true | perf script
# perf record -g -e 'raw_syscalls:sys_enter' true | perf report
Committer notes:
We still need the next patch for the above output to work.

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 cursor nodes which generates from sample are eventually added into
callchain. To avoid generating cursor nodes from previous samples again,
the previous cursor nodes are also saved for LBR stitching approach.
Some option, e.g. hide-unresolved, may hide some LBRs. Add a variable
'valid' in struct callchain_cursor_node to indicate this case. The LBR
stitching approach will only append the valid cursor nodes from previous
samples later.

By calculating the removed loops, we can get the iteration count.
But the iteration count could be reported incorrectly, reporting
impossibly high counts.
That's because previous code uses the number of removed LBR entries for
the iteration count. That's not good. Fix this by increasing the
iteration count when a loop is detected.
When matching the chain, the iteration count would be added up, finally we need
to compute the average value when printing out.
For example,
$ perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

When setting up DWARF callchains on specific events, without using
'record' or 'trace' --call-graph, but instead doing it like:
perf trace -e cycles/call-graph=dwarf/
The unwind__prepare_access() call in thread__insert_map() when we
process PERF_RECORD_MMAP(2) metadata events were not being performed,
precluding us from using per-event DWARF callchains, handling them just
when we asked for all events to be DWARF, using "--call-graph dwarf".
We do it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP because we have to look at one of the
executable maps to figure out the executable type (64-bit, 32-bit) of
the DSO laid out in that mmap. Also to look at the architecture where
the perf.data file was recorded.
All this probably should be deferred to when we process a sample for
some thread that has callchains, so that we do this processing only for
the threads with samples, not for all of them.
For now, fix using DWARF on specific events.

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.

This is mostly a preparation to enable the creation of full callchain
nodes for inline frames. Such frames will reference the IP of the
non-inlined frame, but hold the symbol and srcline for an inlined
location. As such, we won't be able to query the srcline on-demand based
on the IP alone. Instead, we will leverage the functionality provided by
this patch here, and store the srcline for the inlined nodes in the new
srcline member of callchain_cursor_node.
Note that this patch on its own leaks the srcline, as there is no
free_callchain_cursor_node or similar. A future patch will add caching
of the srcline and handle deletion properly.

The branch history code has a loop detection function. With this, we can
get the number of iterations by calculating the removed loops.
While it would be nice for knowing the average cycles of iterations.
This patch adds up the cycles in branch entries of removed loops and
save the result to the next branch entry (e.g. branch entry A).
Finally it will display the iteration number and average cycles at the
"from" of branch entry A.

Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in
total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all
addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces
srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us.
Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes
perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads.
The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the
status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist
entries that generate the same output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ perf report --stdio --inline -g address

Create some branch counters in per callchain list entry. Each counter
is for a branch flag. For example, predicted_count counts all the
*predicted* branches. The counters get updated by processing the
callchain cursor nodes.
It also provides functions to retrieve or print the values of counters
in callchain list.
Besides the counting for branch flags, it also counts and returns the
average number of iterations.

Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing,
this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to
indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag.
Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what
the branch flag it has.
The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It
would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next
steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations.
For example:
Before remove_loops(),
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800
After remove_loops()
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800
The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations
(from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1).
iterations = removed number + 1;
average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples
This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple
buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good
enough.

The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:
# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 18030
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
callchain_cursor
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
callchain_cursor variables.
Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
variable.

The flat callchain mode is to print all chains in a single, simple
hierarchy so make it easy to see.
Currently perf report --tui doesn't show flat callchains properly. With
flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it
should show entries in parent nodes. To do that, add parent_val list to
struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list.
For example, consider following callchains with '-g graph'.
$ perf report -g graph

Currently 'perf top --call-graph' option is same as 'perf record'. But
'perf top' also need to receive display options in 'perf report'. To do
that, change parse_callchain_report_opt() to allow record options too.
Now perf top can receive display options like below:
$ perf top --call-graph
Error: option `call-graph' requires a value
Usage: perf top [<options>]
--call-graph
<mode[,dump_size],output_type,min_percent[,print_limit],call_order[,branch]>
setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace)
recording: fp dwarf lbr, output_type (graph, flat,
fractal, or none), min percent threshold, optional
print limit, callchain order, key (function or
address), add branches
$ perf top --call-graph callee,graph,fp

The has_children and unfolded fields don't belong to the struct
map_symbol since they're used by the TUI only. Move those fields out of
map_symbol since the struct is also used by other places.
This will also help to compact the sizeof struct hist_entry.

Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.
Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
stack support on the tooling side.
LBR call stack has some limitations:
- It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
However, it also offers some advantages:
- LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
else works.

Markus reported that "perf top -g" can leak ~300MB per second on his
machine. This is partly because it missed to free callchains when hist

Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.
This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.
This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.
Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:
tcall.c:
volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;
__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
c = a / b;
}
__attribute__((noinline)) f1()
{
f2();
f2();
}
main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
f1();
}
% perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (~1923 samples) ]
% perf report --no-children --branch-history

The default output is unchanged.
This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.
This adds the basic code to report:
- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.
The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.
- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR
Current limitations:
- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)
v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
-b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

For lbr-as-callgraph we need to see the line number in the history,
because many LBR entries can be in a single function, and just
showing the same function name many times is not useful.
When the history code is configured to sort by address, also try to
resolve the address to a file:srcline and display this in the browser.
If that doesn't work still display the address.
This can be also useful without LBRs for understanding which call in a large
function (or in which inlined function) called something else.
