Adrian Hunter a6ced2be06 perf tools: Fix parse_events_error dereferences
Parse errors can be reported in struct parse_events_error but the
pointer passed is optional and can be NULL.  Ensure it is not NULL
before dereferencing it.

Adrian Hunter bb78ce7d05 perf tools: Fix function declarations needed by parse-events.y
Patch "perf tools: Add location to pmu event terms" moved declarations
for parse_events_term__num() and parse_events_term__str() so that they
were no longer visible in parse-events.y. That can result in segfaults
as the arguments no longer need match the function prototype.

Move the declarations back, changing YYLTYPE pointers to
pointers-to-void because YYLTYPE is not generated until parse-events.y
is processed.

Jiri Olsa b39b839309 perf tools: Add parse_events_error interface
Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:

  struct parse_events_error {
    int   idx;
    char *str;
    char *help;
  };

where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.

The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:

  $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint
  ...

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
  event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
                           \___ unknown term

  valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
  ...

  $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
  event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
                                 \___ parser error
  ...

The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 5693c92660 perf tools: Do not check debugfs MAGIC for tracing files
It's rather strange to be checking the debugfs MAGIC number for the
tracing directory. A system admin may want to have a custom set of
events to trace and it should be allowed to let the admin make a temp
file (even for tracing virtual boxes, this is useful).

Also with the coming tracefs, the files may not even be under debugfs,
so checking the debugfs MAGIC number is pointless.

Kan Liang dcb4e1022b perf tools: Parse the pmu event prefix and suffix
There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR
cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style
format as two events.

The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in
known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME
or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these
information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events.

The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime.

Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as
"a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and
"stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.

Adrian Hunter dc0a620242 perf tools: Let default config be defined for a PMU
This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for
example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify:

	intel_pt//

which will be the same as:

	intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/

meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return
compression'.

An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to
overwrite the default values.  That has meant changing the logic so that
a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

Adrian Hunter ad96227349 perf tools: Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms
This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form:

	pmu//

which is effectively the same as:

	pmu/config=0/

This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU.

Further explanation extracted from lkml thread:

Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist.

Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would
not know how to decode them.

Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'.

It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older
versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot
turn it on by default.

It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by
default.

The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.

Vince Weaver 88fee52e58 perf list: Fix checking for supported events on older kernels
"perf list" listing of hardware events doesn't work on older ARM devices.
The change enabling event detection:

 commit b41f1cec91
 Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>
 Date:   Tue Aug 27 11:41:53 2013 +0900

     perf list: Skip unsupported events

uses the following code in tools/perf/util/parse-events.c:

        struct perf_event_attr attr = {
                .type = type,
                .config = config,
                .disabled = 1,
                .exclude_kernel = 1,
        };

On ARM machines pre-dating the Cortex-A15 this doesn't work, as these
machines don't support .exclude_kernel.  So starting with 3.12 "perf
list" does not report any hardware events at all on older machines (seen
on Rasp-Pi, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, etc).

This version of the patch makes changes suggested by Namhyung Kim to
check for EACCESS and retry (instead of just dropping the
exclude_kernel) so we can properly handle machines where
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 2.

Stephane Eranian 410136f5dd tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale support
This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and
scales as exported by the kernel.

The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor
via sysfs:

  $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-*
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit
  $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
  2.3283064365386962890625e-10
  $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
  Joules

This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check
for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load
the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat
transparently:

   # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000
   #          time             counts   unit events
       1.000214717               3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/         [100.00%]
       1.000214717               0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/
       1.000214717           12965028        cycles                    [100.00%]
       2.000749289               3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/
       2.000749289               0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/
       2.000749289           15817043        cycles

When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by
the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there
will be an empty field.

Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code
in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef503831d8 perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructor
Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.

We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.

This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.

The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in
future to mean "fully precise".

So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if
you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you.

This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able
to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for
instructions per cycle.

Comparison of results with and without pinning:

$ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,...

  79,590,480,683 cycles         #  0.000 GHz
 166,123,716,524 instructions   #  2.09  insns per cycle
                                #  0.11  stalled cycles per insn

  79,352,134,463 cycles         #  0.000 GHz                     [11.11%]
 165,178,301,818 instructions   #  2.08  insns per cycle
                                #  0.11  stalled cycles per insn [11.13%]

As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values
in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy.

The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to
make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a
group.

Jiri Olsa 3c1763115b perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value
Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period
value offered by lower layers.

There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on
event group:

Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.

And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.

Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to
actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
read format.

Example:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 36  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
  # Event count (approx.): 12585593

David Howells d2709c7ce4 perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied
Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead.

Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct.  Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86.  I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.

I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile.  Can this
be changed to use -MD?

Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits.  We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

David Ahern 1342798cc1 perf tool: Precise mode requires exclude_guest
Summary of events per Peter:

  "Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
  even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This
  either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and
  'crashing' the virtual machine.  Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x
  enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.

  AMB IBS does work but doesn't currently support exclude_* at all,
  setting an exclude_* bit will make it fail."

This patch handles userspace perf command, setting the exclude_guest
attribute if precise mode is requested, but only if a user has not
specified a request for guest or host only profiling (G or H attribute).

Kernel side AMD currently ignores all exclude_* bits, so there is no impact
to existing IBS code paths. Robert Richter has a patch where IBS code will
return EINVAL if an exclude_* bit is set. When this goes in it means use
of :p on AMD with IBS will first fail with EINVAL (because exclude_guest
will be set). Then the existing fallback code within perf will unset
exclude_guest and try again. The second attempt will succeed if the CPU
supports IBS profiling.

Irina Tirdea 1d037ca164 perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

Robert Richter ac2ba9f36b perf tools: Catch event names from command line
Use command line string provided by the -e option to name events. This
way we get unique events names that also support pmu event syntax
(<pmu_name>/<config>/<modifier>). No need to reconstruct the name
anymore from its attributes. We use the event_desc of the header to
store the name in the perf.data header. Thus it is also available for
perf report.

Implemented by putting the parser in different states to parse events or
configs.

And since event names are now generated from the command line
specification.  Update event names in test cases accordingly.

Jiri Olsa 6a4bb04caa perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events
This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.

The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.

With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
  # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls

resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.

All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.

Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
   -e instructions ls

  # 1 group
  # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
   -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls

It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:

  # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'

resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

Jiri Olsa f5b1135bf7 perf tools: Add support to update event modifier
Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with
event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as
an update to the existing event modifiers.

Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function.
Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is
initialized/updated respectively.

Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember
if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the
default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group
modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set
by default or by event modifier.

Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset
the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

Jiri Olsa 89efb02950 perf tools: Add support to parse event group syntax
Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups.

The grammar for group is:
  groups:      groups ',' group | group
  group:       group_name '{' events '}' group_mod
  group_name:  name | empty
  group_mod:   ':' group_mods | empty
  group_mods:  event_mod

It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier
for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event
modifiers.

It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on
command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of
the shells.

It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like:

  '{cycles,faults}'
   - anonymous group

  'group1{cycles,faults}
   - group with name 'group1'

  '{cycles,faults}:k
   - anonymous group with event modifier 'k'

  '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}'
   - two anonymous groups

The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

Frederic Weisbecker 0983cc0dbc perf tools: Fix trace events storms due to weight demux
Trace events have a period (weight) of 1 by default. This can be
overriden on events definition by using the __perf_count() macro.

For example, the sched_stat_runtime() is weighted with the runtime of
the task that fired the event.

By default, perf handles such weighted event by dividing it into
individual events carrying a weight of 1. For example if
sched_stat_runtime is fired and the task has run 5000000 nsecs, perf
divides it into 5000000 events in the buffer.

This behaviour makes weighted events unusable because they quickly
fullfill the buffers and we lose most events.

The commit 5d81e5cfb3 ("events: Don't
divide events if it has field period") solves this problem by sending
only one event when PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD flag is set. The weight is
carried in the sample itself such that we don't need to demultiplex it
anymore.

This patch provides the last missing piece to use this feature by
setting PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD from perf tools when we deal with trace
events.

and the first call to perf_evsel__name() will do exactly what was being

Zheng Yan a6146d5040 perf/tool: Add PMU event alias support
Add support to specify alias term within the event description.

The definition of pmu event alias is located at:

  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/events/

Each file in the 'events' directory defines a event alias. Its contents
are like:

  config=1,config1=2

Using pmu event alias, an event can be now specified like:

  uncore/CLOCKTICKS/ or uncore/event=CLOCKTICKS/

Jiri Olsa 90e2b22dee perf/tool: Add support to reuse event grammar to parse out terms
We want to reuse the event grammar for parsing aliased terms.
The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's
already support for this in event grammar.

Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event
parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the
starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the
lexer.  The lexer then returns the starting token as the first
token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly.

Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported:

	PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS

The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part
of the grammar for term parsing.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c410431cef perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers from perf_event_attr
The modifiers:

  k		kernel space
  u		user space
  h		hypervisor
  G		guest
  H		host
  p, pp, ppp    precision level (PEBS)

that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
file.

Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
codebase, so:

 $ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 instructions:u
 $ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:k
 $ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kh
 $ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cache-misses:G
 $ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
 $ perf evlist
 cycles:kpp
 $

Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.

More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
for v3.5.

Jiri Olsa 5d7be90ed5 perf tools: Fix modifier to be applied on correct events
The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it
is attached to.

The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in
single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last
one.

Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the
modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to
catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

Added new event rule to the event definition grammar:

Using this rule, event could be now specified like:
  cpu/config=1,config1=2,config2=3/u

where pmu name 'cpu' is looked up via following path:
  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}

and config options are bound to the pmu's format definiton:
  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format

The hardcoded config options still stays and have precedence
over any format field defined with same name.

Jiri Olsa 8f707d843c perf tools: Add config options support for event parsing
Adding a new rule to the event grammar to be able to specify
values of additional attributes of symbolic event.

The new syntax for event symbolic definition is:

event_legacy_symbol:  PE_NAME_SYM '/' event_config '/' |
                      PE_NAME_SYM sep_slash_dc

event_config:         event_config ',' event_term | event_term

event_term:           PE_NAME '=' PE_NAME |
                      PE_NAME '=' PE_VALUE
                      PE_NAME

sep_slash_dc: '/' | ':' |

At the moment the config options are hardcoded to be used for legacy
symbol events to define several perf_event_attr fields. It is:

  'config'   to define perf_event_attr::config
  'config1'  to define perf_event_attr::config1
  'config2'  to define perf_event_attr::config2
  'period'   to define perf_event_attr::sample_period

Legacy events could be now specified as:
  cycles/period=100000/

If term is specified without the value assignment, then 1 is
assigned by default.

Stephane Eranian 8aa8a7c80c perf record: Fix buffer overrun bug in tracepoint_id_to_path()
This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in
tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory
error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched:

 $ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds
 [ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ]
 Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list

It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the
tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough
to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more.

The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more
reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n
terminator. Note that atoll() stops at the first non digit
character, thus it is not necessary to clear the buffer between
each read.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ebf294bf4f perf tools: Simplify debugfs mountpoint handling code
We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just
one in util/debugfs.c will do.

Also rename debugfs_path to tracing_events_path, as it is not the path
to debugfs, that is debugfs_mountpoint. Both are now accessible.

This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without
having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c.

The defaults for these variables are the canonical "/sys/kernel/debug"
and "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/", removing the need for simple
tools to call debugfs_mount(NULL).

Stephane Eranian 777d1d71db perf tools: Fix error handling of unknown events
There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the
correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'.
The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.

Without the patch:
	$ perf stat -e retired_foo
	invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo'

With the patch:
	$ perf stat -e retired_foo
	invalid or unsupported event: 'retired_foo'

This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at
all when perf was linked with libpfm4.

Jiri Olsa 0111919da2 perf tools: Add missing 'node' alias to the hw_cache[] array
Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.

The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:

  # ./perf stat -e krava ls

The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.

Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache
event.

We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a
more generic "how well utilized is the CPU" metric.

If the stalled-cycles ratio is too high then more specific measurements can be
taken to figure out the source of the inefficiency.

The task-clock-msecs event cannot actually be passed back as an
event name, the event name we recognize is 'task-clock'.

So change the output of the cpu-clock and task-clock events
to be idempotent.

( Units should be printed out in the right-side column, if needed. )

Ingo Molnar ceb53fbf6d perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".

The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.

This patch changes the code to be more informative:

 $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
 invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
 Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers

And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow
the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

Ingo Molnar b908debd4e perf tools: Accept case-insensitive symbolic event variants
We currently fail on something like '-e CPU-migrations', with:

  invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'

While 'CPU-migrations' is how we actually print out the event
in the default perf stat output:

 Performance counter stats for 'true':

          0.202204 task-clock-msecs         #      0.282 CPUs
                 0 context-switches         #      0.000 M/sec
                 0 CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec

So change the matching to be case-insensitive.

Stephane Eranian f0c55bcf4a perf: make perf stat print user provided full event names
This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a
run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its
encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without
their modifiers (u, k, pp).

This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel
struct and uses it to print the final event name.

This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as
libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables.

$ perf stat -e cycles:u,cycles:k date
Wed Feb 16 14:58:52 CET 2011

 Performance counter stats for 'date':

            568600 cycles:u
           2779715 cycles:k

It is needed because it will call parse_event for each tracepoint
name that matches, and we pass the perf_evlist via opt->value.

Problem introduced in 4503fdd where my assumption about opt being
always non NULL made me not look at callers of parse_events outside
builtin-*.c.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ad7f4e3f7b perf tools: Fix tracepoint id to string perf.data header table
It was broken by f006d25 that passed just the event name, not the complete
sys:event that it expected to open the /sys/.../sys/sys:event/id file to get
the id.

Fix it by moving it to after parse_events in cmd_record, as at that point
we can just traverse the evsel_list and use evsel->attr.config +
event_name(evsel) instead of re-opening the /id file.

Han Pingtian f006d25a15 perf tools: Fix buffer overflow error when specifying all tracepoints
I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand,
such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like
this:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7]
....

The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this:

$ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`

The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all
events, and will overflow the 'filename' at:

    strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname));

This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has
been found.

Corey Ashford 4c635a4e04 perf tools: fix event parsing of comma-separated tracepoint events
There are number of issues that prevent the use of multiple tracepoint events
being specified in a -e/--event switch, separated by commas.

For example, perf stat -e irq:irq_handler_entry,irq:irq_handler_exit ...  fails
because the tracepoint event parsing code doesn't recognize the comma separator
properly.

This patch corrects those issues.

Peter Zijlstra ab608344bc perf, x86: Improve the PEBS ABI
Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:

  0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
  1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
  2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
  3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid

And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.

Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.

This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.

Stephane Eranian 5710fcad7c perf: Fix initialization bug in parse_single_tracepoint_event()
The parse_single_tracepoint_event() was setting some attributes
before it validated the event was indeed a tracepoint event. This
caused problems with other initialization routines like in the
builtin-top.c module whereby sample_period is not set if not 0.

Frederic Weisbecker f921281930 perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1
Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to
be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really
require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly
need to trigger everytime.

It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we
lost a lot of events because we forgot the "-c 1" option.

Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user
override it.

Support glob wildcard when selecting tracepoint events by -e

With this patch, user can choose tracepoints more flexibly by using
partial wildcards, e.g. 'block:*bio*:record'.

Ulrich Drepper 180570fdb7 perf tools: Optimize parse_subsystem_tracepoint_event()
Uses of strcat are almost always signs that someone is too lazy
to think about the code a bit more carefully.  One always has to
know about the lengths of the strings involved to avoid buffer
overflows.

This is one case where the size of the object code for me is
reduced by 38 bytes.  The code should also be faster, especially
if flags is non-NULL.

Frederic Weisbecker 1b290d670f perf tools: Add support for breakpoint events in perf tools
Add the breakpoint events support with this new sysnopsis:

  mem:addr[:access]

Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be
either [r][w][x]

Example to profile tasklist_lock:

	$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
	ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock

	$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
	$ perf report

	# Samples: 62
	#
	# Overhead          Command  Shared Object  Symbol
	# ........  ...............  .............  ......
	#
	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	    29.03%          swapper  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	    19.35%             init  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock
	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_trylock
	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock

Coming soon:

 - Support for symbols in the event definition.

 - Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
   not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
   events.
