Some Atom CPUs can produce FUP packets that contain NLIP (next linear
instruction pointer) instead of CLIP (current linear instruction
pointer). That will result in "Unexpected indirect branch" errors. Fix
by comparing IP to NLIP in that case.

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'
will have the symbol type, for code that cares about that.

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.

The instruction buffer is presently used for debugging, so rename its

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
0 a anaconda-ks.cfg bin perf.data perf.data.old perf-f23-bringup.todo
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.217 MB perf.data ]
#
# perf script -F event,comm,pid,tid,time,addr,ip,sym,dso,iregs
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
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

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.

And it is also a step in the direction of killing the separation of data
and text maps in map_groups.

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
Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
2254 ms
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[intel-pt]
mispred-all
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000
Bubble sorting array of 3000 elements
58 ms
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.939 MB perf.data ]
$ perf inject -i perf.data -o inj --itrace=i100usle --strip
$ ./create_gcov --binary=./sort --profile=inj --gcov=sort.gcov -gcov_version=1
$ gcc-5 -O3 -fauto-profile=sort.gcov sort.c -o sort_autofdo
$ ./sort_autofdo 30000
Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
2155 ms
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
