Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 724ce97e9f perf evlist: Add missing 'struct option' forward declaration
It was being found, by chance, because evsel.h needlessly includes
util/cgroup.h, which will be sorted out in a following patch.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 8239698603 perf evlist: Refcount mmaps
We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap,
refcount it.

v2: Automatically unmap it when the refcount hits one, which will happen
when all fds are filtered by perf_evlist__filter_pollfd(), in later
patches.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1b85337d06 tools lib api: Adopt fdarray class from perf's evlist
The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class
can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists
need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it.

v2: Don't use {} like in:

 libapi_dirs:
	$(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/

in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10.

v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa)

v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to
    be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the
    fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa)

v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a
    bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f66a889dbc perf evlist: Introduce poll method for common code idiom
Since we have access two evlist members in all these poll calls, provide
a helper.

This will also help to make the patch introducing the pollfd class more

perf_evlist__poll().

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ad6765dd3b perf evlist: Allow growing pollfd on add method
This way we will be able to add more file descriptors to be polled,
like stdin or some timer fd.

At this point we might as well yank the pollfd class from evlist so that
it can be used in other places.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1ddec7f0d0 perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__filter_pollfd method
To remove all entries in evlist->pollfd[] that have revents matching at
least one of the bits in the specified mask.

It'll adjust evlist->nr_fds to the number of unfiltered fds and will
return this value, as a convenience and to avoid requiring direct access
to internal state of perf_evlist objects.

This will be used after polling the evlist fds so that we remove fds
that were closed by the kernel.

Jiri Olsa a65cb4b9f8 perf evlist: Fix perf_evlist__mmap_read event overflow
The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event' as a placeholder for
event crossing the mmap boundary.

This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However we could grow up
to the maximum sample size which is 16 bits max.

I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf' which produces
sample with the size around 8192 bytes.  We could configure any valid
sample size here using: '-G dwarf,size'.

Using array with sample max size instead for the event placeholder. Also
adding another safe check for the dynamic size of the user stack.

TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we could use some
lazy allocation for event_copy size.

David Ahern 0479b8b9cf perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmaps
I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where
the event type is off the charts:

(gdb) bt
\#0  0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225
\#1  0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520,
    file_offset=0) at util/session.c:884
\#2  0x0806f9b9 in flush_sample_queue (s=0x80a9b90, tool=0xffffc520) at util/session.c:555
\#3  0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645

This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.

There seem to be 2 causes:

1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.

2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.

This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.

The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0c21f736e0 perf evlist: Introduce evsel list accessors
To replace the longer list_entry constructs for things that are widely
used:

	perf_evlist__{first,last}(evlist)
	perf_evsel__next(evsel)

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 63dab225f3 perf evlist: Rename __group method to __set_leader
Just like was done for parse_events__set_leader.

Also we need to have the list_entry set_leader method in evlist.c so that we
don't grow another dep in the python binding:

 # ~acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 16, in <module>
     import perf
 ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: parse_events__set_leader

And also remove a pr_debug from evsel.c so that we avoid this one too:

 # ~acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 16, in <module>
     import perf
 ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: eprintf

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.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo cb0b29e086 perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__parse_sample
That is a more compact form of perf_session__parse_sample and to support
multiple evlists per perf_session is the way to go anyway.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo da3789628f perf tools: Stop using a global trace events description list
The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static
and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files
use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into
session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single
global pevent variable and use the per session one.

Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not
interested at all in what is present in the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis,
just in what is in the perf.data file.

This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that
is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint
events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a
perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.
