Because that is what it really does, i.e. it applies the filters that
were parsed from the command line and stashed into the evsels they refer
to.
We'll need the set_filter method name to actually apply a filter to all
the evsels in an evlist, for instance, to ask that a syswide tracer
doesn't trace itself.

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.

The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static
and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files
use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into
session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single
global pevent variable and use the per session one.
Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not
interested at all in what is present in the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis,
just in what is in the perf.data file.
This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that
is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint
events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a
perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.

When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will
call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits.
When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be
excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to
perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far
just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail
specified.
Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the
details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into
account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc},
.precise_ip, etc).
That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the
rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.
I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG
modifier:
$ perf stat usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
0.942119 task-clock # 0.454 CPUs utilized

While if one explicitely specifies the same events, which will make the parsing code
to be called and thus event_attr_init is called:
$ perf stat -e task-clock,context-switches,migrations,page-faults,cycles,stalled-cycles-frontend,stalled-cycles-backend,instructions,branches,branch-misses usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
1.040349 task-clock # 0.500 CPUs utilized

Fix it by introducing a perf_evlist__add_default_attrs method that will call
evlist_attr_init in all the perf_event_attr entries before adding the events.

The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that
specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events
to the first fd opened on that cpu.
So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be
able to get that first per cpu fd.
At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that
takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback
from hw to soft counters, etc.

perf-record currently creates events enabled. When doing a system wide
collection (-a arg) this causes data collection for perf's
initialization activities -- eg., perf_event__synthesize_threads().
For some events (e.g., context switch S/W event or tracepoints like
syscalls) perf's initialization causes a lot of events to be captured
frequently generating "Check IO/CPU overload!" warnings on larger
systems (e.g., 2 socket, quad core, hyperthreading).
perf's initialization phase can be skipped by creating events
disabled and then enabling them once the initialization is done.

Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:
. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
the error to the caller.
. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o
One of the fixed problems:
[root@emilia ~]# python
>>> import perf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size

These APIs should belong to evlist.c as they may not be
exclusively tied to the headers.

So that we can reuse things like the id to attr lookup routine
(perf_evlist__id2evsel) that uses a hash table instead of the linear
lookup done in the older perf_header_attr routines, etc.
Also to make evsels/evlist more pervasive an API, simplyfing using the
emerging perf lib.

The previous situation was to receive an fd from where to read the event
ID.
Spin off a routine for when we have the ID handy, not having to read it
from some fd.

We currently set the filters after we mmap the events, this is a
race that let undesired events record themselves in the buffer before
we had the time to set the filters.
So set the filters before they can be recorded. That also librarizes
the filters setting so that filtering can be done more easily
from other tools than perf record later.

So that we don't have to pass it around to the several methods that
needs it, simplifying usage.
There is one case where we don't have the thread/cpu map in advance,
which is in the parsing routines used by top, stat, record, that we have
to wait till all options are parsed to know if a cpu or thread list was
passed to then create those maps.
For that case consolidate the cpu and thread map creation via
perf_evlist__create_maps() out of the code in top and record, while also
providing a perf_evlist__set_maps() for cases where multiple evlists
share maps or for when maps that represent CPU sockets, for instance,
get crafted out of topology information or subsets of threads in a
particular application are to be monitored, providing more granularity
in specifying which cpus and threads to monitor.

They were on evsel.c because they came from refactoring existing evsel
methods, so, to make reviewing the changes easier, I kept it there, now
its a plain move.

I.e. stash the overwrite mode in struct perf_evlist and act accordingly
in perf_evlist__read_on_cpu, not checking for overwrites and touching
the tail after consuming one event, like perf record does, for instance.

Out of the {con,des}structor, as in interpreted language bindings we will
need to go back from the wrapper object to the real thing. In that case
using container_of will save us to have an extra pointer in the perf_evsel
struct.

Adopting the new model used in 'perf record', where we don't have a map
per thread per cpu, instead we have an mmap per cpu, established on the
first fd for that cpu and ask the kernel using the
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl to send events for the other fds on that
cpu for the one with the mmap.
The methods moved from perf_evsel to perf_evlist, but for easing review
they were modified in place, in evsel.c, the next patch will move the
migrated methods to evlist.c.
With this 'perf top' now uses the same mmap model used by 'perf record'
and the next patches will make 'perf record' use these new routines,
establishing a common codebase for both tools.

Killing two more perf wide global variables: nr_counters and evsel_list
as a list_head.
There are more operations that will need more fields in perf_evlist,
like the pollfd for polling all the fds in a list of evsel instances.
Use option->value to pass the evsel_list to parse_{events,filters}.
