When it processes AUXTRACE_INFO, it calls to auxtrace_queue_data() to
collect AUXTRACE data first. That won't work with pipe since it needs
lseek() to read the scattered aux data.
$ perf record -o- -e intel_pt// true | perf report -i- --itrace=i100
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
0x4118 [0xa0]: failed to process type: 70
Error:
failed to process sample
For the pipe mode, it can handle the aux data as it gets. But there's
no guarantee it can get the aux data in time. So the following warning
will be shown at the beginning:
WARNING: Intel PT with pipe mode is not recommended.
The output cannot relied upon. In particular,
time stamps and the order of events may be incorrect.

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.
If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.
This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.
Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".
Committer notes:
Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:
#include <traceevent/event-parse.h>

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.
Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:
- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/
- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.
Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:
- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.
- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.
From Athira:
<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>
Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.
- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.
Also from Athira:
<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>
Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

ptwrite is an Intel x86 instruction that writes arbitrary values into an
Intel PT trace. It is not supported on all hardware, so provide an
alternative that makes use of TNT packets to convey the payload data.
TNT packets encode Taken/Not-taken conditional branch information, so
taking branches based on the payload value will encode the value into
the TNT packet. Refer to the changes to the documentation file
perf-intel-pt.txt in this patch for an example.

Normally, for cycle-acccurate mode, IPC values are an exact number of
instructions and cycles. Due to the granularity of timestamps, that happens
only when a CYC packet correlates to the event.
Support the itrace 'A' option, to use instead, the number of cycles
associated with the current timestamp. This provides IPC information for
every change of timestamp, but at the expense of accuracy. Due to the
granularity of timestamps, the actual number of cycles increases even
though the cycles reported does not. The number of instructions is known,
but if IPC is reported, cycles can be too low and so IPC is too high. Note
that inaccuracy decreases as the period of sampling increases i.e. if the
number of cycles is too low by a small amount, that becomes less
significant if the number of cycles is large.
Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with dlfilter-show-cycles.so
to provide higher granularity cycle information.

The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g.
jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop
needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret"
instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is
assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a
decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code.
Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic
purposes have been reported to exceed that.
Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config
intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to
mention the configuration entry.

cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.
Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.
Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.
Example:
A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.
# for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
rtm
Test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <immintrin.h>
int main()
{
int x = 0;
if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
x = 1;
_xabort(1);
} else {
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
return 0;
}
Compile with -mrtm i.e.
gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort
Record:
perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort
Before:
# perf script --itrace=xe -F+flags,+insn,-period --xed --ns
xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348581: transactions: x 400b81 main+0x14 (/root/xabort) mov $0xffffffff, %eax

Even when VMX TSC Offset is not changing (during perf record), different
virtual machines can have different TSC Offsets. There is a Virtual Machine
Control Structure (VMCS) for each virtual CPU, the address of which is
reported to Intel PT in the VMCS packet. We do not know which VMCS belongs
to which virtual machine, so use a tree to keep track of VMCS information.
Then the decoder will be able to use the current VMCS value to look up the
current TSC Offset.

that each branch can have a different cpumode.
E.g. host ip -> guest ip

The guest kernel can be found from any guest thread belonging to the guest
machine. The guest machine is associated with the current host process pid.
An idle thread (pid=tid=0) is created as a vehicle from which to find the
guest kernel map.
Decoding guest user space is not supported.
Synthesized samples just need the cpumode set for the guest.

The instruction latency information can be recorded on some platforms,
e.g., the Intel Sapphire Rapids server. With both memory latency
(weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can easily
locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.
The 'weight' field is shared among different architectures. Reusing the
'weight' field may impacts other architectures. Add a new field to store
the instruction latency.
Like the 'weight' support, introduce a 'ins_lat' for the global
instruction latency, and a 'local_ins_lat' for the local instruction
latency version.
Add new sort functions, INSTR Latency and Local INSTR Latency,
accordingly.
Add local_ins_lat to the default_mem_sort_order[].

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample
type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample
types simultaneously.
The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. The lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample
type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture.
Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample
type for X86. Only store the lower 32 bits for the sample->weight if the
new sample type is applied. In practice, no memory access could last
than 4G cycles. No data will be lost.
If the kernel doesn't support the new sample type. Fall back to the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
There is no impact for other architectures.
Committer notes:
Fixup related to PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE, present in acme/perf/core
but not upstream yet.

Commit 42bbabed09 ("perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack")
changed the format of branch stacks in perf samples. When samples use
this new format, a flag must be set in the corresponding event.
Synthesized branch stacks generated from Intel PT were using the new
format, but not setting the event attribute, leading to consumers
seeing corrupt data. This patch fixes the issue by setting the event
attribute to indicate use of the new format.
