Jin Yao 480accbb17 perf streams: Introduce branch history "streams"
We define a stream as the branch history which is aggregated by the
branch records from perf samples. For example, the callchains aggregated
from the branch records are considered as streams.  By browsing the hot
stream, we can understand the hot code path.

Now we only support the callchain for stream. For measuring the hot
level for a stream, we use the callchain_node->hit, higher is hotter.

There may be many callchains sampled so we only focus on the top N
hottest callchains. N is a user defined parameter or predefined default
value (nr_streams_max).

This patch creates an evsel_streams array per event, and saves the top N
hottest streams in a stream array.

So now we can get the per-event top N hottest streams.

Kan Liang 687986bbeb perf tools: Rename group to topdown
The group.h/c only include TopDown group related functions. The name
"group" is too generic and inaccurate. Use the name "topdown" to replace
it.

Move topdown related functions to a dedicated file, topdown.c.

Changbin Du a80abe2a9a perf tools: Add general function to parse sublevel options
This factors out a general function perf_parse_sublevel_options() to
parse sublevel options. The 'sublevel' options is something like the
'--debug' options which allow more sublevel options.

Ian Rogers 1f16fcad68 perf parse-events: Disable a subset of bison warnings
Rather than disable all warnings with -w, disable specific warnings.

Predicate enabling the warnings on a recent version of bison.

Tested with GCC 9.3.0 and clang 9.0.1.

Committer testing:

The full set of compilers, gcc and clang that this will be tested on
will be on the signed tag when this change goes upstream.

Had to add -Wno-switch-enum to build on opensuse tumbleweed:

  /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-bison.c: In function 'yydestruct':
  /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-bison.c:1200:3: error: enumeration value 'YYSYMBOL_YYEMPTY' not handled in switch [-Werror=switch-enum]
   1200 |   switch (yykind)
        |   ^~~~~~
  /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-bison.c:1200:3: error: enumeration value 'YYSYMBOL_YYEOF' not handled in switch [-Werror=switch-enum]

Also replace -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration with -Wno-implicit-function-declaration.

Also needed to check just the first two levels of the bison version, as
the patch was assuming that all versions were of the form x.y.z, and
there are several cases where it is just x.y, breaking the build.

Ian Rogers 304d7a90c4 perf parse-events: Disable a subset of flex warnings
Rather than disable all warnings with -w, disable specific warnings.

Predicate enabling the warnings on more recent flex versions.

Tested with GCC 9.3.0 and clang 9.0.1.

Committer notes:

The full set of compilers, gcc and clang that this will be tested on
will be on the signed tag when this change goes upstream.

Added -Wno-misleading-indentation to the flex_flags to overcome this on
opensuse tumbleweed when building with clang:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-flex.o
    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/pmu.o
  /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-flex.c:5038:13: error: misleading indentation; statement is not part of the previous 'if' [-Werror,-Wmisleading-indentation]
              if ( ! yyg->yy_state_buf )
              ^
  /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-flex.c:5036:9: note: previous statement is here
          if ( ! yyg->yy_state_buf )
          ^

And we need to use this to redirect stderr to stdin and then grep in a
way that is acceptable for BusyBox shell:

  2>&1 |

Previously I was using:

  |&

Which seems to be bash specific.

Added -Wno-sign-compare to overcome this on systems such as centos:7:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-flex.o
    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/pmu.o

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/pmu.o

                                                            ^
Added -Wno-missing-declarations to build in systems such as centos:6:

  /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-flex.c:6313: error: no previous prototype for 'parse_events_get_column'
  /tmp/build/perf/util/parse-events-flex.c:6389: error: no previous prototype for 'parse_events_set_column'

And -Wno-missing-prototypes to cover older compilers:

  -Wmissing-prototypes (C only)
  Warn if a global function is defined without a previous prototype declaration. This warning is issued even if the definition itself provides a prototype. The aim is to detect global functions that fail to be declared in header files.
  -Wmissing-declarations (C only)
  Warn if a global function is defined without a previous declaration. Do so even if the definition itself provides a prototype. Use this option to detect global functions that are not declared in header files.

Older C compilers lack -Wno-misleading-indentation, check if it is
available before using it.

Also needed to check just the first two levels of the flex version, as
the patch was assuming that all versions were of the form x.y.z, and
there are several cases where it is just x.y, breaking the build.

Stephane Eranian 7094349078 perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4
This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.

With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:

  $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....

One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

Ian Rogers eee1950192 perf tools: Grab a copy of libbpf's hashmap
Allow use of hashmap in perf. Modify perf's check-headers.sh script to
check that the files are kept in sync, in the same way kernel headers
are checked. This will warn if they are out of sync at the start of a
perf build.

Committer note:

This starts out of synch as a fix went thru the bpf tree, namely the one
removing the needless libbpf_internal.h include in hashmap.h.

There is also another change related to __WORDSIZE, that as is in
tools/lib/bpf/hashmap.h causes the tools/perf/ build to fail in systems
such as Alpine Linus, that uses the Musl libc, so we need an alternative
way of having __WORDSIZE available, use the one used by
tools/include/linux/bitops.h, that builds in all the systems I have
build containers for.

These differences will be resolved at some point, so keep the warning in
check-headers.sh as a reminder.

The new flex code is in flex.l object and gets compiled like all the

It's used by both expr__parse and expr__find_other interfaces by
separating the starting point.

There's no intended change of functionality ;-) the test expr is

Andi Kleen 267ed5d859 perf affinity: Add infrastructure to save/restore affinity
The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many
operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the
overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs.

An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up
all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU.

Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model.
Used in followon patches.

Committer notes:

Use zfree() in some places, add missing stdbool.h header, some minor
coding style changes.

Andi Kleen d96645821e perf pmu: Use file system cache to optimize sysfs access
pmu.c does a lot of redundant /sys accesses while parsing aliases
and probing for PMUs. On large systems with a lot of PMUs this
can get expensive (>2s):

  % time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
  ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
   27.25    1.227847           8    160888     16976 openat
   26.42    1.190481           7    164224    164077 stat

Add a cache to remember if specific file names exist or don't
exist, which eliminates most of this overhead.

Also optimize some stat() calls to be slightly cheaper access()

Resulting in:

    0.18    0.004166           2      1851       305 open
    0.08    0.001970           2       829       622 access

Jin Yao 6041441870 perf block: Cleanup and refactor block info functions
We have already implemented some block-info related functions.
Now it's time to do some cleanup, refactoring and move the
functions and structures to new block-info.h/block-info.c.

 v4:
 ---
 Move code for skipping column length calculation to patch:
 'perf diff: Don't use hack to skip column length calculation'

 v3:
 ---
 1. Rename the patch title
 2. Rename from block.h/block.c to block-info.h/block-info.c
 3. Move more common part to block-info, such as
    block_info__process_sym.
 4. Remove the nasty hack for skipping calculation of column
    length

Jin Yao cebf7d51a6 perf diff: Report noisy for cycles diff
This patch prints the stddev and hist for the cycles diff of program
block. It can help us to understand if the cycles is noisy or not.

This patch is inspired by Andi Kleen's patch:

  https://lwn.net/Articles/600471/

We create new option '--cycles-hist'.

Example:

  perf record -b ./div
  perf record -b ./div
  perf diff -c cycles

 Rebase to perf/core branch

 v7:
 ---
 1. v6 got Jiri's ACK.
 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.

 v6:
 ---
 1. Jiri provides better code for using data__hpp_register() in ui_init().
    Use this code in v6.

 v5:
 ---
 1. Refine the use of data__hpp_register() in ui_init() according to
    Jiri's suggestion.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Rename the new option from '--noisy' to '--cycles-hist'
 2. Remove the option '-n'.
 3. Only update the spark value and stats when '--cycles-hist' is enabled.
 4. Remove the code of printing '..'.

 v3:
 ---
 1. Move the histogram to a separate column
 2. Move the svals[] out of struct stats

 v2:
 ---
 Jiri got a compile error,

  CC       builtin-diff.o
  builtin-diff.c: In function ‘compute_cycles_diff’:
  builtin-diff.c:712:10: error: taking the absolute value of unsigned type ‘u64’ {aka ‘long unsigned int’} has no effect [-Werror=absolute-value]
  712 |          labs(pair->block_info->cycles_spark[i] -
      |          ^~~~

 Because the result of u64 - u64 is still u64. Now we change the type of
 cycles_spark[] to s64.

Igor Lubashev c22e150e3a perf tools: Add helpers to use capabilities if present
Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss.  Make
perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el],
fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.

Committer notes:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : FAILED!
  $ perf test -v python
  Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 23288
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: cap_get_flag
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  $

This happens because differently from the perf binary generated with
this patch applied:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  	libcap.so.2 => /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f724a4ef000)
  $

The python binding isn't linking with libcap:

  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $

So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:

  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:

  $ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
    $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
  $ perf test python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               : Ok
  $

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4975223b81 perf tools: Introduce rlimit__bump_memlock() helper
Just like the BPF guys did when faced with failures with map creation,
etc, i.e. their solution is:

  tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bpf_rlimit.h

For perf use this function in 'perf test' and in 'perf trace'.

Make it bump to 4 times the current value, if it fails twice the current
value and if it still fails, warn that things like BPF map creation may
fail, to help in diagnosing the problem.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 9c10548c42 tools lib: Move argv_{split,free} from tools/perf/util/
This came from the kernel lib/argv_split.c, so move it to
tools/lib/argv_split.c, to get it closer to the kernel structure.

We need to audit the usage of argv_split() to figure out if it is really
necessary to do have one allocation per argv[] entry, looking at one of
its users I guess that is not the case and we probably are even leaking
those allocations by not using argv_free() judiciously, for later.

With this we further remove stuff from tools/perf/util/, reducing the
perf specific codebase and encouraging other tools/ code to use these
routines so as to keep the style and constructs used with the kernel.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 3052ba56bc tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original
We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.

This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.

Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

Alexey Budankov f24c1d7523 perf tools: Introduce Zstd streaming based compression API
Implemented functions are based on Zstd streaming compression API.

The functions are used in runtime to compress data that come from mmaped
kernel buffer. zstd_init(), zstd_fini() are used for initialization and
finalization to allocate and deallocate internal zstd objects.
zstd_compress_stream_to_records() is used to convert parts of mmaped
kernel buffer into an array of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d19f856479 perf bpf: Add bpf_map dumper
At some point I'll suggest moving this to libbpf, for now I'll
experiment with ways to dump BPF maps set by events in 'perf trace',
starting with a very basic dumper for the current very limited needs
of the augmented_raw_syscalls code: dumping booleans.

Having functions that apply to the map keys and values and do table
lookup in things like syscall id to string tables should come next.

Song Liu 45178a928a perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT.  Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.

Committer notes:

Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.

Remove the needless include <machine.h> from bpf->event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.

Committer testing:

When running with:

 # perf record --bpf-event

On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:

And then proceeds to work without those two features.

As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.

Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ]

The number in brackets is the offset into the raw data field of the
sample.

New functions trace_event_sample_raw__init() and s390_sample_raw() are
introduced in the code path to enable interpretation on non s390
platforms. This event bc000 attached raw data is generated only on s390
platform. Correct display on other platforms requires correct endianness
handling.

Committer notes:

Added a init function that sets up a evlist function pointer to avoid
repeated tests on evlist->env and calls to perf_env__name() that
involves normalizing, etc, for each PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.

Removed needless __maybe_unused from the trace_event_raw()
prototype in session.h, move it to be an static function in evlist.

The 'offset' variable is a size_t, not an u64, fix it to avoid this on
some arches:

Add initial support for s390 auxiliary traces using the CPU-Measurement
Sampling Facility.

Support and ignore PERF_REPORT_AUXTRACE_INFO records in the perf data
file. Later patches will show the contents of the auxiliary traces.

Setup the auxtrace queues and data structures for s390.  A raw dump of
the perf.data file now does not show an error when an auxtrace event is
encountered.

Output before:

  ....

Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software
implementation, provided by Hendrik Brueckner (see Link: below).

=============================================================================

The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain
performance information on the mainframe.  Basically, it was introduced
with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit.
For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling
facility.  The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions,
cycles, crypto-activities, and many more.

The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write
samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer.  At some point,
for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect
samples (while the sampler continues to run).

Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter
and sampling facilities.  Recently, the device driver was updated to also
"export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area.  Thomas now completed the
related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data.

If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a
look into:

- The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities, SA23-2260-05
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26fcd1cc32246f4c8852574ce0044734a

and to learn how-to use it for Linux on Z, have look at chapter 54,
"Using the CPU-measurement facilities" in the:

- Device Drivers, Features, and Commands, SC33-8411-34
  http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/linux390/docu/l416dd34.pdf
