Add 3 new packets to supports PEBS via PT, namely Block Begin Packet
(BBP), Block Item Packet (BIP) and Block End Packet (BEP). PEBS data is
encoded into multiple BIP packets that come between BBP and BEP. The BEP
packet might be associated with a FUP packet. That is indicated by using
a separate packet type (INTEL_PT_BEP_IP) similar to other packets types
with the _IP suffix.
Refer to the Intel SDM for more information about PEBS via PT:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm
May 2019 version: Vol. 3B 18.5.5.2 PEBS output to Intel® Processor Trace
Decoding of BIP packets conflicts with single-byte TNT packets. Since
BIP packets only occur in the context of a block (i.e. between BBP and
BEP), that context must be recorded and passed to the packet decoder.

perf record:
Alexey Budankov:
- Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf, making sure that
the minimal set of registers for DWARF unwinding is present in the
set of user registers requested to be present in each sample, while
warning the user that this may make callchains unreliable if more
that the minimal set of registers is needed to unwind.
yuzhoujian:
- Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only,
IOW allow setting the perf_event_attr.exclude_callchain_{kernel,user}
bits from the command line.
perf trace:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Remove x86_64 specific syscall numbers from the augmented_raw_syscalls
BPF in-kernel collector of augmented raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
payloads, use instead the syscall numbers obtainer either by the
arch specific syscalltbl generators or from audit-libs.
- Allow 'perf trace' to ask for the number of bytes to collect for
string arguments, for now ask for PATH_MAX, i.e. the whole
pathnames, which ends up being just a way to speficy which syscall
args are pathnames and thus should be read using bpf_probe_read_str().
- Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups.
This helps using the 'string' group of syscalls to work in arm64,
where some of the syscalls present in x86_64 that deal with
strings, for instance 'access', are deprecated and this should not
be asked for tracing.
Leo Yan:
- Exit when failing to build eBPF program.
perf config:
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This
helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a
matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance
building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf
trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c.

Adrian Hunter:
- Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because
Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction,
the incremental values will often be zero. When there are values, they
will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last
update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.

Copy the incremental instruction count and cycle count onto 'instructions'
and 'branches' samples.
Because Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or
instruction, the incremental values will often be zero.
When there are values, they will be the number of instructions and
number of cycles since the last update, and thus represent the average
IPC since the last IPC value.

Commit 4eb0681571 ("perf script: Make itrace script default to all
calls") does not work because 'use_browser' is being used to determine
whether to default to periodic sampling (i.e. better for perf report).
The result is that nothing but CBR events display for perf script when
no --itrace option is specified.
Fix by using 'default_no_sample' and 'inject' instead.
Example:
Before:
$ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u ls
$ perf script > cmp1.txt
$ perf script --itrace=cepwx > cmp2.txt
$ diff -sq cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt differ
After:
$ perf script > cmp1.txt
$ perf script --itrace=cepwx > cmp2.txt
$ diff -sq cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

perf creates a single 'struct thread' to represent the idle task. That
is because threads are identified by PID and TID, and the idle task
always has PID == TID == 0.
However, there are actually separate idle tasks for each CPU. That
creates a problem for thread stack processing which assumes that each
thread has a single stack, not one stack per CPU.
Fix that by passing through the CPU number, and in the case of the idle
"thread", pick the thread stack from an array based on the CPU number.

By default 'perf script' for itrace outputs sampled instructions or
branches. In my experience this is confusing to users because it's hard
to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for
tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time,
but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'. It's better
to give an accurate representation of the program flow.
Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner
default. The old behavior can be still requested with 'perf script'

Previously, the decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch from / to
zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a trace ends
with a call. To prepare for remedying that, add Intel PT decoder flags
for trace begin / end and map them to the existing sample flags.

Out of thread__find_add_map(..., MAP__FUNCTION, ...), idea here is to
continue removing references to MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} ahead of
getting both types of symbols in the same rbtree, as various places do
two lookups, looking first at MAP__FUNCTION, then at MAP__VARIABLE.
So thread__find_map() will eventually do just that, and 'struct symbol'

Intel PT code already has some preparation for AUX area sampling mode.
However the implementation has changed from the first proposal and one
of the side-effects is that it will not be impossible to support snapshot
mode and sampling mode at the same time.
Although there are no plans to support it, let validation (not yet
implemented) control whether it is allowed rather than low-level
functions.

sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the
point in the kernel when the context actually switched.
The flag when sync_switch is enabled was global to the decoding, whereas
it is really specific to the CPU.
The trace data for different CPUs is put on different queues, so add
sync_switch to the intel_pt_queue structure and use that in preference
to the global setting in the intel_pt structure.
That fixes problems decoding one CPU's trace because sync_switch was
disabled on a different CPU's queue.

The kernel now supports the disabling of branch tracing, however the
decoder assumes branch tracing is always enabled. Pass through a parameter
to indicate whether branch tracing is enabled and use it to avoid cases
when the decoder is expecting branch packets. There are 2 such cases.
First, FUP packets which can bind to an IP even when there is no branch
tracing. Secondly, the decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP
to start decoding or to recover from errors.

Note that the maximum instruction size is 15 which is a less efficient size

Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot
mode.
Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap.
The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the
current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain
synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap
checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between
the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data.

option to Intel PT and Intel BTS.
The advantage of using the decoder to feed the thread stack is that it
happens before branch filtering and so can be used with different itrace
options (e.g. it still works when only showing calls, even though the
thread stack needs to see calls and returns). Also it does not conflict
with using the thread stack to get callchains.

When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to
ignore the initialization code at the beginning.
On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in
initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf
script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data.
This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n'
events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This
is much more efficient.
v2:
Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter)
Document in itrace.txt
Fix branch check

In 473398a21d ("perf tools: Add cpumode to struct perf_sample"), I
missed some places where perf_sample fields are directly initialized in
addition to what is done in perf_evsel__parse_sample(), namely when
synthesizing PERF_RECORD_{MMAP*,COMM,FORK,EXIT} for pre-existing threads
and also in intel_pt and intel_bts when synthesizing events from
processor trace, the jitdump code also was affected, fix it.
The problem was noticed with running:
# perf record -e intel_pt//u true
# perf script
Where the samples wouldn't get resolved because perf_sample.cpumode
would be left as zero, i.e. PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_UNKNOWN, not
resolving as kernel, hypervisor or user cpu modes.

intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() creates a pt->unknown_thread thread
that eventually needs to be freed by the last thread__put() on it, when
its refcount hits zero, which may happen in
intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info() error handling path and triggers the
following segfault, which would happen as well at intel_pt_free, when
tools using this intel_pt codebase frees up resources:
# perf record -I -e intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=1/u /bin/ls

Samples for 'instructions:u' event do not have IREGS attribute set. Cannot print 'iregs' field.
intel_pt_synth_events: failed to synthesize 'instructions' event type
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#
The problem is: there's a union in 'struct thread' combines a list_head
and a rb_node. The standard life cycle of a thread is: init rb_node in
the constructor, insert it into machine->threads rbtree using rb_node,
move it to machine->dead_threads using list_head, clean in the last
thread__put: list_del_init(&thread->node).
In the above command, it clean a thread before adding it into list,
causes the above segfault.
Since pt->unknown_thread will never live in an rbtree, initialize its
list node so that when list_del_init() is done on it we don't segfault.
After this patch:
# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs

We should always return from thread__new(), the constructor, with the
object with a reference count of one, so that:
struct thread *thread = thread__new();
thread__put(thread);
Will call thread__delete().
If any reference is made to that 'thread' variable, it better use
thread__get(thread) to hold a reference.
We were returning with thread->refcnt set to zero, fix it and some cases
where thread__delete() was being called, which were not a problem
because just one reference was being used, now that we set it to 1, use
thread__put() instead.

autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or
predicted. In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags
are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT.
To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT
decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches.
Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo. The example is
also added to the Intel PT documentation. It requires autofdo
(https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5. The bubble
sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial)
amended to take the number of elements as a parameter.
$ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized
$ ./sort_optimized 30000

2254 ms
$ cat ~/.perfconfig

$ ./sort_autofdo 30000

Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR,
but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.

Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples. The
decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for
each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding
window. We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid
overlapping intervals.
This is useful for:
- Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf
report branch view
- Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples
- Other users of LBRs
Also the Documentation is updated.
Examples:
Record with Intel PT:
perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so:
perf report --itrace=ile
is the same as:
perf report --itrace=ile -b
Branch history can be requested also:
perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history

Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for
sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g.
--itrace=i10us
means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace.
Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of
zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated
as the default period which is 100000. That doesn't really
make sense.
Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning
"as often as possible".
In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and
a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

Add support for selecting and processing PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events for
use by Intel PT. If they are available, they will be used in preference
to sched_switch events.
This enables an unprivileged user to trace multi-threaded or
multi-process workloads with any level of perf_event_paranoid. However
it depends on kernel support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-threaded workload will decode
without error but all the data will be attributed to the main thread.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-process workload will result in
decoder errors because the decoder will not know which executable is
executing.

In a couple of cases the 'comm' member of 'union event' has been used
instead of the correct member ('fork') when processing exit events.
In the cases where it has been used incorrectly, only the 'pid' and
'tid' are affected. The 'pid' value would be correct anyway because it
is in the same position in 'comm' and 'fork' events, but the 'tid' would
have been incorrectly assigned from 'ppid'.
However, for exit events, the kernel puts the current task in the 'ppid'
and 'ttid' which is the same as the exiting task. That is 'ppid' ==
'pid' and if the task is not multi-threaded, 'pid' == 'tid' i.e. the
data goes wrong only when tracing multi-threaded programs.
It is hard to find an example of how this would produce an error in
practice. There are 3 occurences of the fix:
1. perf script is only affected if !sample_id_all which only happens on
old kernels.
2. intel_pt is only affected when decoding without timestamps
and would probably still decode correctly - the exit event is
only used to flush out data which anyway gets flushed at the
end of the session
3. intel_bts also uses the exit event to flush data which
would probably not cause errors as it would get flushed at
the end of the session instead

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.

Intel PT support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure. Recording

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