cycles the CPU does nothing useful, because it is stalled on a

Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work. Let's get rid of it now.
Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type
in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not
present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from
older kernel) the field is removed from the output list.
Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies
-f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym
the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events
(ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file).
Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather
than for each sample.

Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:
python{,-config}
The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.
However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:
python2{,-config}
Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.
This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.
In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

perf stat doesn't mmap and its perfectly fine for it to use task-bound
counters with inheritance.
So set the attr.inherit on the caller and leave the syscall itself to
validate it.
When the mmap fails perf_evlist__mmap will just emit a warning if this
is the failure reason.

In hists browser, press hotkey 'a' to annotate current symbol.
Now it causes segment fault if 'a' is pressed on a null symbol.
Here are 2 small bugs:
- In perf_evsel__hists_browse, the condition check after 'a' is pressed
is not correct, we should check ->sym instead of ->map.
- In symbol__tui_annotate we must check whether sym is NULL or not
before getting annotation structure.
This patch fixes above 2 small bugs.

perf probe: Fix listing incorrect line number with inline function
perf probe: Fix to find recursively inlined function
perf probe: Fix multiple --vars options behavior
perf probe: Fix to remove redundant close
perf probe: Fix to ensure function declared file
Fix a bug showing incorrect line number when a probe is put on the head of an
inline function. This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new
rules to get correct line number.
- If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line
number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless.
- If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset
from the function entry.
- If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from
the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry
address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should
be 0).
- If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the
inline function call line number as the line on which the address is.
- If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline
function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the
(non-inlined) function.

The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.
However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.
Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.
Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of
pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.

Allow:
perf script -f <fields>
to be equivalent to:
perf script -f trace:<fields> -f sw:<fields> -f hw:<fields>
i.e., the specified fields apply to all event types if the type string
is not given.
The field (-f) arguments are processed in the order received. A later
usage can reset a prior request. e.g.,
-f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym
The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second
invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a warning is
given to the user:
"Overriding previous field request for all events."
Alternativey, consider the order:
-f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace:
The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace
events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result
of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given
fields.
For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event
type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that
type. For example:
perf script -f comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring.
'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring.
Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an
error. For example:
perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
'trace' not valid for software events.
At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits.
Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types.
i.e., -f "" is not allowed.

If symbol_conf.priv_size is not a multiple of "sizeof(u64)" we'll bus
error on sparc64 in symbol__new because the "struct symbol *" pointer
is computed by adding symbol_conf.priv_size to the memory allocated.
We cannot isolate the fix to symbol__new and symbol__delete since the
private area is computed by subtracting the priv_size value from a
"struct symbol" pointer, so then the private area can still be
potentially unaligned.
So, simply align the symbol_conf.priv_size value in symbol__init()

Perf can't currently trace into the vsyscall page. It looks like it was
meant to work.
Tested on 2.6.38 and today's -git.
The bug is easy to reproduce. Compile this:
int main()
{
int i;
struct timespec t;
for(i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t);
return 0;
}
and run it through perf record; perf report. The top entry shows
"[unknown]" and you can't zoom in.
It looks like there are two issues. The first is a that a test for user
mode executing in kernel space is backwards. (That's the first hunk
below). The second (I think) is that something's wrong with the code
that generates lots of little struct dso objects for different sections
-- when it runs on vmlinux it results in bogus long_name values which
cause objdump to fail.

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.
Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such
systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined
from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'.
Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep
versions, gives a usable version number.

ring-buffer: Remove unused #include <linux/trace_irq.h>
tracing: Add an 'overwrite' trace_option.
...
Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:
return ret < 0 ?: 0;
For the following reason:
util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]
And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
GCC as well.

Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).
Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.
Examples (output compressed)
1. trace, default format
perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script
swapper 0 [000] 537.037184: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0...
sshd 1675 [000] 537.037309: sched_switch: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=1675...
netstat 1692 [001] 537.038664: sched_switch: prev_comm=netstat prev_pid=1692...
2. trace, custom format
perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script -f comm,pid,time,trace <--- omitting cpu and event name
swapper 0 537.037184: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 ...

The snprintf function returns number of printed characters even if it
cross the size parameter. So passing enough events via '-e' parameter
will cause segmentation fault.
It's reproduced by following command:
perf top -e `perf list | grep Tracepoint | awk -F'[' '\
{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];\
for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`
Attached patch is adding SNPRINTF macro that provides the overflow check
and returns actuall number of printed characters.

kallsyms has a virtual file name [kernel.kallsyms]. Currently, it can't
be added to buildid cache successfully because the code
(build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real
absolute pathname and that fails.
Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms].
So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.

By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded

More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
the same time.
But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

The left key was exiting 'perf top --tui' when it really shouldn't, it
was too easy to leave the live annotation window and then press one too
many <- and get out of the tool altogether.
Do just like the report TUI does, ignore the left key for exit and also
ask the user when pressing ESC if that is really what is wanted.

This is not a problem when we're not at the bottom of the active symbols
list, so was not noticed, but at the end of the screen it falls apart.
Fix it by adjusting the ui_browser indexes according to the new number
of entries in the rb_tree and by seeking from the start of the rb_tree
to find the new symbol at the top of the screen.

Now one has just to press the right key, 'a' or Enter on the main 'perf
top --tui' screen to live annotate the symbol under the cursor.
The annotate window starts centered on the hottest line (the one with
most samples so far) then TAB and shift+TAB can be used to go to the
prev/next hot line.
Pressing 'H' at any point will center again the screen on the hottest
line.

While fixing an error propagating problem in f809b25 I added two
redundant checks.
I did that because I didn't expect the checks to be on the while and for
loop condition expression, where they are tested before we run the loop,
where the 'ret' variable is set.
So remove it from there and leave it just after it is actually set,
eliminating unneded tests.

There are two hunks in this patch that stops probe processing as soon as one
error is found, breaking out of loops, the other fix an error propagation that
should return a negative error number but instead was returning the result of
"ret < 0", which is 1 and thus made several error checks fail because they test
agains < 0.
The problem could be triggered by asking for a variable that was optimized out,
fact that should stop the whole probe processing but instead was segfaulting
while installing broken probes:
[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.
Add new events:
probe:perf_mmap (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
probe:perf_mmap_1 (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)

They have no effect, and the `fixup-builtins' and `check-builtins.sh'

unused test for V=2
useless exports
Only when `V' is undefined (that is, only when the value of `V'
is empty) is `export V' performed, which just has the effect of
placing the empty-valued variable `V' in the environment.
The only other script to make use of `V' is `Documentation/Makefile',
which only checks whether `V' is undefined (that is, whether the value
of `V' is empty); hence, the `export V' has no effect whatsoever.
Similarly, `export QUIET_GEN' is useless because it will only have
a non-empty value when `V' has an empty-value, and when `V' has
an empty-value, `QUIET_GEN' is always explicitly set in every
script in which it is used.
`DESTDIR' is only ever defined by the user via the environment
or the command line, both of which are automatically exported
to sub-make processes. Furthermore, no non-make sub-scripts
make use of `DESTDIR' as an environment variable.
No other scripts use `perfexec_instdir'.

This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a
run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its
encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without
their modifiers (u, k, pp).
This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel
struct and uses it to print the final event name.
This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as
libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables.

Show filename which contains a target function with the function name on
"--lines" mode, because perf-probe just shows the first function even if
there are many same-name functions.
Originally adopted by Franck Bui-Huu's patch which shows file name
instead of function name. I've just modified it to show both of function
name and file name, because of completeness of output.
E.g.)
$ perf probe -L t_show

0 static int t_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v)

This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.
The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.
Example:
$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
2,368,667,414 cycles test1

[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (~363 samples) ]
That lead me and David Ahern to see that something was fishy on the thread
synthesizing routines, at least for the case where the workload is started
from 'perf record', as -1 is the default for target_tid in 'perf record --tid'
parameter, so somehow we were trying to synthesize the PERF_RECORD_MMAP and
PERF_RECORD_COMM events for the thread -1, a bug.
So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for
recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and
that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event
synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of
threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.
Checked in the following ways:

just run cyclictest first, without 'perf record':

and then later did:

[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (~1195 samples) ]

The live annotation done in 'perf top' needs to limit the context before
lines that aren't filtered out by the min percent filter, if we don't do
that, the screen in a tty often is not enough for showing what is
interesting: lines with hits and a few source code lines before it.

Since we'll need it when implementing the live annotate TUI browser.
This also simplifies things a bit by having the list head for the source
code to be in the dynamicly allocated part of struct annotation, that
way we don't have to pass it around, it can be found from the struct
symbol that is passed everywhere.

GCC 4.6.0 in Fedora rawhide turned up some compile errors in tools/perf
due to the -Werror=unused-but-set-variable flag.
I've gone through and annotated some of the assignments that had side
effects (ie: return value from a function) with the __used annotation,
and in some cases, just removed unused code.
In a few cases, we were assigning something useful, but not using it in
later parts of the function.

to do annotation.
Rename "struct sym_priv" to "struct annotation", etc, to clarify this
code a bit.
Rename "struct sym_ext" to "struct source_line", to give it a meaningful
name, that clarifies that it is a the result of an addr2line call, that
is sorted by percentage one particular source code line appeared in the
annotation.
And since we're moving things around also rename 'sym_hist->ip' to
'sym_hist->addr' as we want to do data structure annotation at some

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.

First clarifying that this kind of binding is not a replacement or an
equivalent to the 'perf script' way of using python with perf.
The 'perf script' way is to process events and look at a given script
for some python function that matches the events to pass each event for
processing.
This is a python module, i.e. everything is driven from the python
script, that merely uses "import perf" or "from perf import".
perf script is focused on tracepoints, this binding is focused on profiling as
an initial target. More work is needed to make available tracepoint specific
variables as event variables accessible via this binding.
There is one example of such usage model, in
tools/perf/python/twatch.py, a tool to watch "cycles" events together
with task (fork, exit) and comm perf events.
For now, due to me not being able to grok how python distutils cope with
building C extensions outside the sources dir the install target just
builds it, I'm using it as:
[root@emilia linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/
[root@emilia linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py
cpu: 4, pid: 30126, tid: 30126 { type: mmap, pid: 30126, tid: 30126, start: 0x4, length: 0x82e9ca03, offset: 0, filename: }

cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: comm, pid: 30127, tid: 30127, comm: ls }
cpu: 6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: exit, pid: 30127, ppid: 30127, tid: 30127, ptid: 30127, time: 103893993273024}
The first 8 mmap events in this 8 way machine are a mistery that is still being
investigated.
More of the tools/perf/util/ APIs will be exposed via this python binding as
the need arises. For now the focus is on creating events and processing them,
symbol resolution is an obvious next step, with tracepoint variables as a close
second step.

Right now this function is only used by perf top, that uses PROT_READ
only, i.e. overwrite mode, so no PERF_RECORD_LOST events are generated,
but don't forget those events.
The patch that moved this out of perf top was made so that this routine
could be used by 'perf probe' in the uprobes patchset, so perhaps there
they need to check for LOST events and warn the user, as will be done in
the following patches that will switch 'perf top' to non overwrite mode
(mmap with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE).

Add strfilter for general purpose string filter.
Every filter rules are descrived by glob matching pattern and '!' prefix
which means Logical NOT.
A strfilter consists of those filter rules connected with '&' and '|'.
A set of rules can be folded by using '(' and ')'.
It also accepts spaces around rules and those operators.
Format:
<rule> ::= <glob-exp> | "!" <rule> | <rule> <op> <rule> | "(" <rule> ")"
<op> ::= "&" | "|"
e.g.:
"(add* | del*) & *timer" filter rules pass strings which start with add
or del and end with timer.
This will be used by perf probe --filter.
Changes in V2:
- Fix to check result of strdup() and strfilter__alloc().
- Encapsulate and simplify interfaces as like regex(3).

This patch gives the ability to 'perf record' to detect when its stdout
has been redirected to a pipe. There's now no more need to add '-o -'
switch in this case.
However '-o <path>' option has always precedence, that is if specified
and stdout has been connected via a pipe then the output will go into
the specified output.

The callchains are fed with an array of a fixed size.
As a result we iterate over each callchains three times:
- 1st to resolve symbols
- 2nd to filter out context boundaries
- 3rd for the insertion into the tree
This also involves some pairs of memory allocation/deallocation
everytime we insert a callchain, for the filtered out array of
addresses and for the array of symbols that comes along.
Instead, feed the callchains through a linked list with persistent
allocations. It brings several pros like:
- Merge the 1st and 2nd iterations in one. That was possible before
but in a way that would involve allocating an array slightly taller
than necessary because we don't know in advance the number of context
boundaries to filter out.
- Much lesser allocations/deallocations. The linked list keeps
persistent empty entries for the next usages and is extendable at
will.
- Makes it easier for multiple sources of callchains to feed a
stacktrace together. This is deemed to pave the way for cfi based
callchains wherein traditional frame pointer based kernel
stacktraces will precede cfi based user ones, producing an overall
callchain which size is hardly predictable. This requirement
makes the static array obsolete and makes a linked list based
iterator a much more flexible fit.
Basic testing on a big perf file containing callchains (~ 176 MB)
has shown a throughput gain of about 11% with perf report.

It will receive the events, using mmap, use its PERF_SAMPLE_ID generated

Then it checks if the number of syscalls reported as perf events by the

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.

* 'perf-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
perf tools: Fix tracepoint id to string perf.data header table
perf tools: Fix handling of wildcards in tracepoint event selectors
powerpc: perf: Fix frequency calculation for overflowing counters
It was broken by f006d25 that passed just the event name, not the complete
sys:event that it expected to open the /sys/.../sys/sys:event/id file to get
the id.
Fix it by moving it to after parse_events in cmd_record, as at that point
we can just traverse the evsel_list and use evsel->attr.config +
event_name(evsel) instead of re-opening the /id file.

It wasn't accounting the ':' when consuming bytes in the the event
selector string, so parse_events() would fail in this test:
if (!(*str == 0 || *str == ',' || isspace(*str)))
return -1;
as *str would be pointing to '*', the last character in the '-e' arg in:

Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem
is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because
perf-record reads sample data in whole pages.
So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay"
mode. To track e.g. what's going on in icmp_rcv while ping is running
Use it with something like this:
(1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>'
goto error;
}
38 if (!pskb_pull(skb, sizeof(*icmph)))
goto error;
icmph = icmp_hdr(skb);
43 ICMPMSGIN_INC_STATS_BH(net, icmph->type);
/*
* 18 is the highest 'known' ICMP type. Anything else is a mystery
*
* RFC 1122: 3.2.2 Unknown ICMP messages types MUST be silently
* discarded.
*/
50 if (icmph->type > NR_ICMP_TYPES)
goto error;
$ perf probe icmp_rcv:43 'type=icmph->type'
(2) $ cat trace-icmp.py
[...]
def trace_begin():
print "in trace_begin"
def trace_end():
print "in trace_end"
def probe__icmp_rcv(event_name, context, common_cpu,
common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
__probe_ip, type):
print_header(event_name, common_cpu, common_secs, common_nsecs,
common_pid, common_comm)
print "__probe_ip=%u, type=%u\n" % \
(__probe_ip, type),
[...]
(3) $ perf record -a -D -e probe:icmp_rcv -o - | \
perf script -i - -s trace-icmp.py

Looks to me like the :r modifier is not supported anymore, so remove it from

Before we had sym_counter, it was initialized to zero and we used that
as an index in the global attrs variable, now we have a list of evsel
entries, and sym_counter became sym_evsel, that remained initialized to
zero (NULL): b00m.
Fix it by initializing it to the first entry in the evsel list.

We need to defer calling perf_evsel_list__delete() till after atexit
registered routines, because we need to traverse the events being
recorded at that time at least on 'perf record'.
This fixes the problem reported by Thomas Renninger where cmd_record
called by cmd_timechart would not write the tracing data to the perf.data
file header because the evsel_list at atexit (control+C on 'perf timechart
record') time would be empty, being already deleted by run_builtin(),
and thus 'perf timechart' when trying to process such perf.data file would
die with:
"no trace data in the file"
Problem introduced in 70d544d.

In this if statement:
if (head + event->header.size >= mmap_size) {
if (mmaps[map_idx]) {
munmap(mmaps[map_idx], mmap_size);
mmaps[map_idx] = NULL;
}
page_offset = page_size * (head / page_size);
file_offset += page_offset;
head -= page_offset;
goto remap;
}
With, for instance, these values:
head=2992
event->header.size=48
mmap_size=3040
We end up endlessly looping back to remap. Off by one.
Problem introduced in 55b4462.

And a test for it:
[acme@felicio linux]$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
2: detect open syscall event: Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
[acme@felicio linux]$
Translating C the test does:
1. generates different number of open syscalls on each CPU
by using sched_setaffinity
2. Verifies that the expected number of events is generated
on each CPU
It works as expected.

For unsupported events (e.g., H/W events when running in a VM)
perf stat currently fails with the error message:
Error: open_counter returned with 2 (No such file or directory).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
Fatal: Not all events could be opened.
dmesg is of no help and it is not clear as to why it fails to
open the counter. This patch changes the error message to
Error: cache-misses event is not supported.
Fatal: Not all events could be opened.
