Jiri Olsa 6065210db9 perf tools: Remove event types framework completely
Removing event types framework completely. The only remainder (apart
from few comments) is following enum:

  enum perf_user_event_type {
    ...
    PERF_RECORD_HEADER_EVENT_TYPE           = 65, /* deprecated */
    ...
  }

It's kept as deprecated, resulting in error when processed in
perf_session__process_user_event function.

David Ahern 804f7ac788 perf record: handle death by SIGTERM
Perf data files cannot be processed until the header is updated which is
done via an on_exit handler.

If perf is killed due to a SIGTERM it does not run the on_exit hooks
leaving the perf.data file in a random state which perf-report will
happily spin on trying to read.

As noted by Mike an easy reproducer is:

perf record -a -g & sleep 1; killall perf

Fix by catching SIGTERM like it does SIGINT.

Also need to remove the kill which was added via commit f7b7c26e.

Andi Kleen 05484298cb perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)
perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.

Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the
total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event
and the total cost over the measurement period.

Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.

v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

Jiri Olsa 774cb499ca perf tools: Fix 'disabled' attribute config for record command
Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled.

There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all
events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole
enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced
program got executed.

What we actually want is:

1) For any type of traced program:
  - all independent events and group leaders are disabled
  - all group members are enabled

   Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to
   be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that.

2) For traced programs executed by perf:
   - all independent events and group leaders have
     enable_on_exec set
   - we don't specifically enable or disable any event during
     the record command

   Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled
   and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group
   leaders as stated in 1).

3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid):
   - we specifically enable or disable all events during
     the record command

   When attaching events to already running traced we
   enable/disable events specifically, as there's no
   initial traced exec call.

Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

Jiri Olsa cac2142557 perf tools: Fix attributes for '{}' defined event groups
Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'.

Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both
'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set
based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}'
defined groups as they don't set 'group' option.

Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is
common to both group definition.

Moving perf_evlist__set_leader call within builtin-record ahead
perf_evlist__config_attrs call, because the latter needs possible group
leader links in place.

Jiri Olsa 0089fa9831 perf record: Fix mmap error output condition
The mmap_pages default value is not power of 2 (UINT_MAX).

Together with perf_evlist__mmap function returning error value different
from EPERM, we get misleading error message: "--mmap_pages/-m value must
be a power of two."

Fixing this by adding extra check for UINT_MAX value for this error
condition.

David Ahern 2305c82fb3 perf tools: Give user better message if precise is not supported
Platforms (e.g., VM's) without support for precise mode get a confusing
error message. e.g.,
$ perf record -e cycles:p -a -- sleep 1

  Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
  supported).  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

  No hardware sampling interrupt available. No APIC? If so then you can
  boot the kernel with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it.
  sleep: Terminated

which is not clear that precise mode might be the root problem. With this
patch:

$ perf record -e cycles:p -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
  Error:
  'precise' request may not be supported. Try removing 'p' modifier
  sleep: Terminated

Irina Tirdea 1d037ca164 perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

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.

Jiri Olsa 26d330226b perf tools: Support for DWARF mode callchain
This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code.

It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
  'fp'           - provides framepointer based user
                   stack backtrace
  'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack
                   backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
                   user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default.

If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument
becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option
in any case.

Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)

   perf record -g dwarf ls
      - provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size

   perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
      - provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size

   perf record -g -- ls
   perf record -g fp ls
      - provides frame pointer unwind

David Ahern 56e6f602aa perf tool: Save cmdline from user in file header vs what is passed to record
A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to
cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of
the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command
-- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line
as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record.

As an example consider the command:
$ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record
    -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10

Currently the command saved to the header is:
    cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1

(ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm).

With this patch the command line saved to the header is:
cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount
    record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1

v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion

David Ahern d1cae34d6f perf record: Reset event name when falling back to cpu-clock
perf-record defaults to the H/W cycles event and if it is not supported
falls back to cpu-clock. Reset the event name as well.

David Ahern 028d455b12 perf record: Fix fallback to cpu-clock on ppc
perf-record on PPC is not falling back to cpu-clock:

$ perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1

  Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 6 (No such device or address).  /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

  Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

The problem is that until 2.6.37 (behavior changed with commit b0a873e)
perf on PPC returns ENXIO when hw_perf_event_init() fails. With this
patch we get the expected behavior:

$ perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -v -- sleep 1
Old kernel, cannot exclude guest or host samples.
The cycles event is not supported, trying to fall back to cpu-clock-ticks
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.151 MB /tmp/perf.data (~6592 samples) ]

Namhyung Kim d67356e7f8 perf target: Consolidate target task/cpu checking
There are places that check whether target task/cpu is given or not and
some of them didn't check newly introduced uid or cpu list. Add and use
three of helper functions to treat them properly.
