Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 9d6aae7254 perf record: Do not put a variable sized type not at the end of a struct
As this is a GNU extension and while harmless in this case, we can do
the same thing in a more clearer way by using an existing thread_map
constructor.

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.

Jiri Olsa 23dc4f1586 perf record: Force ignore_missing_thread for uid option
Enable perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -u option to ignore
complete failure if any of the user's processes die between its
enumeration and time we open the event.

Committer notes:

While doing a 'make -j4 allmodconfig' we sometimes get into the race:

Before:

  # perf record -u acme
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 3 (No such process) for event (cycles:ppp).
  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
  No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
  #

After:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf record -u acme
  WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 9888
  WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 18059
  [root@jouet ~]#

Which is an improvement, with the races not preventing the remaining threads
for the specified user from being monitored, but the message probably needs
further clarification.

Wang Nan a074865e60 perf tools: Introduce perf hooks
Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for
manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this
patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end.

To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into
'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report
an error to help debugging.

A test case for perf hook is introduced.

Test result:
  $ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook
  50: Test perf hooks                                          :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 10311
  SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.
  Fatal error (SEGFAULT) in perf hook 'test'
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  Test perf hooks: Ok

Wang Nan 4ea648aec0 perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option
When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:

 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:

 # perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
 perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789:  raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

             ^^^^^^^^^^^^
             Fail to unwind

This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.

After this patch:
 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

 # perf script -i perf.data.2016061600544998

                    ^^^^^
                    Correct unwind

This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.

However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.

Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

Wang Nan 626a6b784e perf tools: Enable overwrite settings
This patch allows following config terms and option:

Globally setting events to overwrite;

  # perf record --overwrite ...

Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.

  # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
  # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...

Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.

For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Test result:

  # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]

Wang Nan 54cc54decd perf evlist: Setup backward mmap state machine
Introduce a bkw_mmap_state state machine to evlist:

                     .________________(forbid)_____________.
                     |                                     V
 NOTREADY --(0)--> RUNNING --(1)--> DATA_PENDING --(2)--> EMPTY
                     ^  ^              |   ^               |
                     |  |__(forbid)____/   |___(forbid)___/|
                     |                                     |
                      \_________________(3)_______________/

 NOTREADY     : Backward ring buffers are not ready
 RUNNING      : Backward ring buffers are recording
 DATA_PENDING : We are required to collect data from backward ring buffers
 EMPTY        : We have collected data from backward ring buffers.

 (0): Setup backward ring buffer
 (1): Pause ring buffers for reading
 (2): Read from ring buffers
 (3): Resume ring buffers for recording

We can't avoid this complexity. Since we deliberately drop records from
overwritable ring buffer, there's no way for us to check remaining from
ring buffer itself (by checking head and old pointers). Therefore, we
need DATA_PENDING and EMPTY state to help us recording what we have done
to the ring buffer.

In record__mmap_read_evlist(), drive this state machine from DATA_PENDING
to EMPTY.

In perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(), drive this state machine from NOTREADY
to RUNNING when creating backward mmap.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c8b5f2c96d tools: Introduce str_error_r()
The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

Wang Nan 09fa4f4012 perf record: Rename variable to make code clear
record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data.  'head'
is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record.
'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous
round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to
perf.data.

The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition,
when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer
should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got.

Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to
'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change
behavior since:

    buf = &data[old & md->mask];
    size = head - old;
    old += size;     <--- Here, old == head

This option appends current timestamp to the output file name.

For example:

  # perf record -a --timestamp-filename
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622265847 ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.742 MB perf.data.<timestamp> (90 samples) ]
  # ls
  perf.data.201512262226584

The timestamp will be useful for identifying each perf.data after the
'perf record' support for generating multiple output files gets
introduced.

Wang Nan d78885739a perf bpf: Clone bpf stdout events in multiple bpf scripts
This patch allows cloning bpf-output event configuration among multiple
bpf scripts. If there exist a map named '__bpf_output__' and not
configured using 'map:__bpf_output__.event=', this patch clones the
configuration of another '__bpf_stdout__' map. For example, following
command:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c usleep 100000

equals to:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/  \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \

Adrian Hunter 46bc29b970 perf tools: Add time conversion event
Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert
between TSC and perf time.

Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time
members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO
event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the
Intel PT decoder.  However now the conversion between TSC and perf time
is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for
tracing.

So add a user event to record the time members.  'perf record' will
synthesize the event if the information is available.  And session
processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools
like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

Wang Nan 8690a2a773 perf record: Apply config to BPF objects before recording
bpf__apply_obj_config() is introduced as the core API to apply object
config options to all BPF objects. This patch also does the real work
for setting values for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_ARRAY maps by inserting value
stored in map's private field into the BPF map.

This patch is required because we are not always able to set all BPF
config during parsing. Further patch will set events created by perf to
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps, which is not exist until
perf_evsel__open().

bpf_map_foreach_key() is introduced to iterate over each key needs to be
configured. This function would be extended to support more map types
and different key settings.

In perf record, before start recording, call bpf__apply_config() to turn
on all BPF config options.

Namhyung Kim 7a29c087ff perf record: Add record.build-id config option
Post processing at 'perf record' takes a long time on big machines.

What it does is to find the build-id of binaries found in the event
stream, so that it can make sure, at 'report' time, that the symtabs (be
it ELF, kallsyms, etc) being used to resolve symbols are the ones
matching the binaries found at 'record' time.

Sometimes we just want to skip this processing of events at the end of
the session to get quicker results, making sure the binaries haven't
changed from 'record' to 'report' time.

Add a new config option to control this behavior.

The record.build-id config variable can have one of the following
values:

 - cache: post-process data and save/update the binaries into the
          build-id cache (in ~/.debug).  This is the default.
 - no-cache: post-process the data but not update the build-id cache.
             Same effect as using the -N option.
 - skip: skip post-processing and do not update the cache.
         Same effect as using the -B option.

Wang Nan 48e1cab1ba perf tools: Make options always available, even if required libs not linked
This patch keeps options of perf builtins same in all conditions. If
one option is disabled because of compiling options, users should be
notified.

Masami suggested another implementation in [1] that, by adding a
OPTION_NEXT_DEPENDS option before those options in the 'struct option'
array, options parser knows an option is disabled. However, in some
cases this array is reordered (options__order()). In addition, in
parse-option.c that array is const, so we can't simply merge
information in decorator option into the affacted option.

This patch chooses a simpler implementation that, introducing a
set_option_nobuild() function and two option parsing flags. Builtins
with such options should call set_option_nobuild() before option
parsing. The complexity of this patch is because we want some of options
can be skipped safely. In this case their arguments should also be
consumed.

Options in 'perf record' and 'perf probe' are fixed in this patch.

Yang Shi 9f065194e2 perf record: Change 'record.samples' type to unsigned long long
When run "perf record -e", the number of samples showed up is wrong on some
32 bit systems, i.e. powerpc and arm.

For example, run the below commands on 32 bit powerpc:

  perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 malloc
  perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -a ls perf.data
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.036 MB perf.data (13829241621624967218 samples) ]

Actually, "perf script" just shows 21 samples. The number of samples is also
absurd since samples is long type, but it is printed as PRIu64.

Build test ran on x86-64, x86, aarch64, arm, mips, ppc and ppc64.

A previous patch added a synthesized comm event for forked child process
but it missed that the event should contain area for sample_id_hdr at
the end.  It worked by accident since the perf_event union contains
bigger event structs like mmap_events.

This patch fixes it by dynamically allocating event struct including
those area like in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map().

Namhyung Kim e803cf97a4 perf record: Synthesize COMM event for a command line workload
When perf creates a new child to profile, the events are enabled on
exec().  And in this case, it doesn't synthesize any event for the
child since they'll be generated during exec().  But there's an window
between the enabling and the event generation.

It used to be overcome since samples are only in kernel (so we always
have the map) and the comm is overridden by a later COMM event.
However it won't work if events are processed and displayed before the
COMM event overrides like in 'perf script'.  This leads to those early
samples (like native_write_msr_safe) not having a comm but pid (like
':15328').

So it needs to synthesize COMM event for the child explicitly before
enabling so that it can have a correct comm.  But at this time, the
comm will be "perf" since it's not exec-ed yet.

Stephane Eranian bcc84ec65a perf record: Add ability to name registers to record
This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.

The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.

With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.

To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....

To record any possible registers:

  $ perf record -I .....
  $ perf report --intr-regs ...

To display the register, one can use perf report -D

To list the available registers:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=\?
  available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

Wang Nan 4ba1faa19f perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf
This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

 # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

 # /tmp/perf report --stdio
 ...
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
  # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
  #
      99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
      0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
      0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
 ...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

 # cat << EOF > ./tmp
 > #!/bin/sh
 > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
 > EOF
 # chmod a+x ./tmp
 # ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

Adrian Hunter 3abebc55d7 perf record: Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording
If the option -T is used with option --per-thread, then time is still
not sampled.  Fix that by using OPT_BOOLEAN_SET to distinguish when the
user used the -T option as opposed to the default case when timestamps
are enabled but only for per-cpu recording.

Adrian Hunter 99fa298453 perf tools: Add AUX area tracing index
Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file.

perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to
enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events
altogether.

AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very
beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND.

By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and
the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual.

The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file.
A session reads the index but does not process it.  An AUX area decoder
can queue all the AUX area data in advance using
auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some
custom manner.

Kan Liang aad2b21c15 perf tools: Enable LBR call stack support
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.

Namhyung Kim 00dc865798 perf record: Do not save pathname in ./debug/.build-id directory for vmlinux
When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order
to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples.

During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it
ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name.

But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path
so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the
~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users.

This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so
that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name,
not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.
