Since we can add file descriptors to the evlist pollfd and it will
autogrow, no need to copy all events to a local pollfd array, just add
the timer and stdin file descriptors.

Because we want to notice when they get POLLHUP'ed, so that we can
figure out when all threads exited in a workload being monitored.
We can't just monitor the fds that were mmaped, we need to notice when
all the fds that were PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT'ed too, because the mmap
stays even after the fd that originally was used to do the mmap call
went away, its only when all the set-output fds for a mmap are gone that
the mmap is.

We want to know when the fd went away, like when a monitored thread
exits.
If we do not monitor such events, then the tools will wait forever on
events from a vanished thread, like when running:
$ sleep 5s &
$ perf record -p `pidof sleep`
This builds upon the kernel patch by Jiri Olsa that actually makes a
poll on those file descriptors to return POLLHUP.
It is also needed to change the tools to use
perf_evlist__filter_pollfd() to check if there are remainings fds to
monitor or if all are gone, in which case they will exit the
poll/mmap/read loop.

It'll adjust evlist->nr_fds to the number of unfiltered fds and will
return this value, as a convenience and to avoid requiring direct access

This will be used after polling the evlist fds so that we remove fds

This patch restructures the memory controller (IMC) uncore PMU support
for client SNB/IVB/HSW processors. The main change is that it can now
cope with more than one PCI device ID per processor model. There are
many flavors of memory controllers for each processor. They have
different PCI device ID, yet they behave the same w.r.t. the memory
controller PMU that we are interested in.
The patch now supports two distinct memory controllers for IVB
processors: one for mobile, one for desktop.

Use the newly added Broadwell cache event list for Haswell too.
All Haswell and Broadwell events and offcore masks used in these lists
are identical.
However Haswell is very different from the Sandy Bridge
list that was used previously. That fixes a wide range of mis-counting
cache events.
The node events are now only for retired memory events, so prefetching
and speculative memory accesses are not included. They are PEBS
capable now, which makes it much easier to sample for them, plus it's
possible to create address maps with -d.
The prefetch events are gone now. They way the hardware counts
them is very misleading (some prefetches included, others not), so
it seemed best to leave them out.

On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period
that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period
should not be smaller than 128.
Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell.
This is erratum BDM57 and BDM11.
How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific
period with some of the bottom bits set
The apps thinks it is sampling at X occurences per sample, when it is
in fact at X - 63 (worst case).
Short answer:
Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders
of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions
would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled.
So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the
period, much smaller than normal system jitter.
Long answer:
<write up by Peter:>
IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128.
Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left
to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We
get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and
don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again,
at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get
an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We
fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an
overflow). And on and on.
So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with
interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And
this works for everything >=128.
So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127,
which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow.
So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create
INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128.

Add Broadwell support for Broadwell Client to perf. This is very
similar to Haswell. It uses a new cache event table, because there
were various changes there.
The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over
Haswell.
The PEBS event list is the same, so we reuse Haswell's.

Remove it for now, until it can be re-added later with

In practice it does not cause a lot of issues because the Broadwell
PMU is very similar to Haswell, but some details were wrong,

If a vmlinux is stripped, perf will use it and ignore kallsyms. We
end up with useless profiles where everything maps to a few
runtime symbols:

4.90% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] hcall_real_table
4.44% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __sched_text_start

Detect this case and fallback to using kallsyms. This fixes the issue:

This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for
example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify:
intel_pt//
which will be the same as:
intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/
meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return
compression'.
An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to
overwrite the default values. That has meant changing the logic so that
a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

Decoding an Intel PT trace of the kernel requires an accurate kernel
object image. This is provided by making a copy of kcore. However the
copy needs to be made under the same conditions as the original
recording, and then it needs to be associated with the perf.data file.
The perf-with-kcore script does that.
The script also checks the permissions on the buildid cache and can be
used to fix them. That is needed for distributions where root does not
have a home directory and consequently writes to the same buildid cache
as the user, resulting in cached files that the user does not have
access to.
Example:
$ ./perf-with-kcore
Usage: perf-with-kcore <perf sub-command> <perf.data directory> [<sub-command options> [ -- <workload>]]
<perf sub-command> can be record, script, report or inject
or: perf-with-kcore fix_buildid_cache_permissions

This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form:
pmu//
which is effectively the same as:
pmu/config=0/
This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU.
Further explanation extracted from lkml thread:
Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist.
Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would
not know how to decode them.
Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'.
It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older
versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot
turn it on by default.
It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by
default.
The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.
