Anshuman Khandual 955f6def55 perf record: Add remaining branch filters: "no_cycles", "no_flags" & "hw_index"
This adds all remaining branch filters i.e "no_cycles", "no_flags" and
"hw_index". While here, also updates the documentation.

James Clark 20ebc4a649 perf test: Fix skipping branch stack sampling test
Commit f4a2aade68 ("perf tests powerpc: Fix branch stack sampling
test to include sanity check for branch filter") added a skip if certain
branch options aren't available.

But the change added both -b (--branch-any) and --branch-filter options
at the same time, which will always result in a failure on any platform
because the arguments can't be used together.

Fix this by removing -b (--branch-any) and leaving --branch-filter which
already specifies 'any'. Also add warning messages to the test and perf
tool.

Output on x86 before this fix:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Skip

After:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Ok

Anshuman Khandual bcb96ce6d2 perf branch: Add branch privilege information request flag
This updates the perf tools with branch privilege information request flag
i.e PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE that has been added earlier in the kernel.
This also updates 'perf record' documentation, branch_modes[], and generic
branch privilege level enumeration as added earlier in the kernel.

Alexey Budankov 2566349648 perf record: Enable LBR callstack capture jointly with thread stack
Enable '-j stack' applicability together with '--call-graph dwarf'
option so thread stack data and LBR call stack could be captured
jointly:

  $ perf record -g --call-graph dwarf,1024 -j stack,u -- stack_test

Collected LBR call stack can be used to augment DWARF call stack
calculated from the raw thread stack data and to provide more
comprehensive call stack information for cases when collected SIZE is
not enough to cover complete thread stack.

Such cases are typical for workloads that allocate large arrays of data
on its threads stacks or the possible SIZE to collect can't be large
enough due to workload nature or system configuration and this is where
hardware captured LBR call stacks can provide missing stack frames.
Possible DWARF plus LBR call stacks consolidation algorithm description
follows.

With this patch set perf report command UI currently ignores collected
LBR call stack data and still provides DWARF based call stacks
information.

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.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 46cb25b1a0 perf tools: Add missing object file to the python binding linkage list
In ac12f6764c ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we
started using the parse_branch_str() function from one of the files used
in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail:

  # perf test -v python
  16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 16667
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
  parse_branch_str
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  #

I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the
pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this
regression to pass, sigh.

Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using
ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use
pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.

Now:

  # perf test python
  16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      : Ok

Andi Kleen ac12f6764c perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter
It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if
we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events
in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software
trace point errors out with -b.

There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample
types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch
implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it.

Now:

  $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ...

works.

Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

Stephane Eranian 43e41adc9e perf record: Add ability to sample call branches
This patch add a new branch type sampling filter to perf record.
It is named 'call' and maps to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. It samples
direct call branches only, unlike 'any_call' which includes indirect
calls as well.

 $ perf record -j call -e cycles .....

The man page is updated accordingly.

Stephane Eranian 5b68164d6a perf record: Add support for sampling indirect jumps
This patch adds a new branch sampling type support for indirect jumps:

  perf record -j ind_jmp .......

It enables analysis of indirect jumps targets. It requires kernel and
possibly hardware support to operate correctly.
