This patch creates a new script (compaction-times) to report time
spent in mm compaction. It is possible to report times in nanoseconds
(default) or microseconds (-u).
The option -p will break down results by process id, -pv will further
decompose by each compaction entry/exit.
For each compaction entry/exit what is reported is controlled by the
options:
-t report only timing
-m report migration stats
-ms report migration scanner stats
-fs report free scanner stats
The default is to report all.
Entries may be further filtered by pid, pid-range or comm (regex).
The script is useful when analysing workloads that compact memory. The
most common example will be THP allocations on systems with a lot of
uptime that has fragmented memory.
This is an example of using the script to analyse a thpscale from
mmtests which deliberately fragments memory and allocates THP in 4
separate threads

It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a
target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object
in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the
offset of that instruction by manually digging.
This patch enables following perf probe command syntax:
# perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615
And
# perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860
In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible
to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf
probe' to create the probing points.
v1 -> v2:
Drop the leading '+' in cmdline;
Allow uprobing at offset 0x0;
Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo.
v2 -> v3:
Split bugfix to a separated patch.

This patch fixes a bug that, when offset is provided but function is
lost, parse_perf_probe_point() will give a "" string as function name,
so the checking code at the end of parse_perf_probe_point() become
useless. For example:
# perf probe +0x1234
Failed to find symbol in kernel
Error: Failed to add events.
After this patch:
# perf probe +0x1234
Semantic error :Offset requires an entry function.

When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'perf probe -l'
reports error. For example:
# echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
# perf probe -l
Error: Failed to show event list.
Probing at 0x0 is possible and useful when lib.bin is not a normal
shared object but is manually mapped. However, in this case kernel
report:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x (null) arg1=%ax

'perf probe -l' reports error if it is unable find symbol through

# perf probe -l
Error: Failed to show event list
Also, this situation triggers a logical inconsistency in
convert_to_perf_probe_point() that, it returns ENOMEM but actually it
never try strdup().
This patch removes !tp->module && !is_kprobe condition, so it always
uses address to build function name if symbol not found.

CYC packets are a new Intel PT feature.
CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and
TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the
last CYC packet. Unlike MTC and TSC packets, CYC packets are only sent
when another packet is also sent.
Support for this feature is indicated by:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/psb_cyc
which contains "1" if the feature is supported and "0" otherwise.
CYC packets can be requested using a PMU config term e.g. perf record -e
intel_pt/cyc/u sleep 1
The frequency of CYC packets can also be specified. e.g. perf record -e
intel_pt/cyc,cyc_thresh=2/u sleep 1
CYC packets are not requested by default.
Valid cyc_thresh values are given by:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/cycle_thresholds
which contains a hexadecimal value, the bits of which represent valid
values e.g. bit 2 set means value 2 is valid.
The value represents the minimum number of CPU cycles that must have
passed before a CYC packet can be sent. The number of CPU cycles is:
2 ^ (value - 1)
e.g. value 4 means 8 CPU cycles must pass before a CYC packet can be
sent. Note a CYC packet is still only sent when another packet is sent,
not at, e.g. every 8 CPU cycles.
If an invalid value is entered, the error message will give a list of
valid values e.g.
$ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,cyc_thresh=15/u uname
Invalid cyc_thresh for intel_pt. Valid values are: 0-12
tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt is updated in a later patch as
there are a number of new features being added.

CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and
TSC packets. A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the
last CYC packet.
This patch just adds decoder support. The CPU frequency can be related
to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR
(core-to-bus ratio) packet. However more accuracy is achieved by simply
interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC
or TSC. This patch takes the latter approach.
Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a
later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.

e.g. value 3 means one eighth of CTC-frequency
Where CTC is the hardware crystal clock, the frequency of which can be
related to TSC via values provided in cpuid leaf 0x15.

A problem can occur in a statically linked perf when vmlinux can be found:
# perf probe --add sys_epoll_pwait

Symbol sys_epoll_pwait address found : ffffffff8122bd40

Failed to get call frame on 0xffffffff8122bd40
An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)
The reason is caused by libdw that, if libdw is statically linked, it
can't load libebl_{arch}.so reliable.
In this case it is still possible to get the address from
/proc/kalksyms. However, perf tries that only when libdw returns
-EBADF.
This patch gives it another chance to utilize symbol table, even if
libdw returns an error code other than -EBADF.
After applying this patch:

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:sys_epoll_pwait -aR sleep 1
Although libdw returns an error (Failed to get call frame), perf tries
symbol table and finally gets correct address.

Map clone was written before we introduced reference counts for
maps and dsos, so all that was needed was just a copy and then we
would insert it into the new map_groups instance.
Fix it by, after copying, initializing the map->refcnt, grabbing
a struct dso refcount and resetting pointers that may be used
to determine if a map, when deleted, is in a rb_tree.

Events that don't sample the timestamp have a timestamp value of -1.
Intel PT processing wasn't taking that into account.
This is particularly noticeable with Intel BTS because timestamps are
not requested by default.
Then, if the conversion of -1 to TSC results in a small number, the
processing is unaffected.
However if the conversion results in a big number, then the data is
processed prematurely before relevant sideband data like mmap events,
which in turn results in samples with unknown dsos.
Commiter note:
Since BTS wasn't upstream, I split the patch to fold the BTS part with
the patch introducing it, to avoid having this bug in the commit
history. PT was already upstream, so this patch contains that part.

The "/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO" message comes up all the time
for 'perf script' if vmlinux is not found and the user isn't root, even
when the kernel is not being traced and even though the message is only
really relevant for annotation.
Change it to pr_debug and instead put a note in the message displayed if
annotation is not possible.
Also, the file being accessed might not be /proc/kcore. Tools can be
directed to a different location using the --kallsyms option in which
case kcore is expected to be in the same directory. Adjust the message
so it is not misleading in that case.

Patch "perf script: Don't assume evsel position of tracking events"
changed 'perf script' to use 'perf_evlist__id2evsel()'. That results
in a segfault if there is more than 1 event and there are
synthesized mmap events e.g.
$ perf record -e cycles,instructions -p$$ sleep 1
$ perf script --show-mmap-events
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
That happens because these synthesized events have an 'id' of zero
which does not match any 'evsel'.
Currently, these synthesized events use the sample type of the first
evsel.
Change 'perf_evlist__id2evsel()' to reflect that which also makes
it consistent with 'perf_evlist__event2evsel()'.

When processing a fork event, the tools lookup the parent thread by its
tid. In a couple of cases, it is possible for that thread to have the
wrong pid.
That can happen if the data is being processed out of order, or if the
(fork) event that would have removed the erroneous thread was lost.
Assume the latter case, print a dump message, remove the erroneous
thread, create a new one with the correct pid, and keep going.

Intel PT support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure. Recording

Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by cpu or thread and then

Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object
code and matching the trace data packets.
The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets
via another call-back walk_insn().
