Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.
We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.
This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in
future to mean "fully precise".
So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if
you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you.
This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able
to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for
instructions per cycle.
Comparison of results with and without pinning:
$ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,...
79,590,480,683 cycles # 0.000 GHz
166,123,716,524 instructions # 2.09 insns per cycle
# 0.11 stalled cycles per insn
79,352,134,463 cycles # 0.000 GHz [11.11%]
165,178,301,818 instructions # 2.08 insns per cycle
# 0.11 stalled cycles per insn [11.13%]
As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values
in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy.
The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to
make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a
group.

[ Use perf_evsel__is_group_leader instead of open coded equivalent, as
suggested by Jiri Olsa ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period
value offered by lower layers.
There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on
event group:
Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.
And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.
Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to
actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
read format.
Example:
$ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
...
$ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
...
# Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
# Event count (approx.): 12585593

If ftrace events tracepoints are configured in, the record command fails

The stat command disables counters that fails to open, the record
command fails completely. We probably want to be smarter here.

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead.
Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.
I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this
be changed to use -MD?
Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

Summary of events per Peter:
"Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This
either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and
'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x
enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.
AMB IBS does work but doesn't currently support exclude_* at all,
setting an exclude_* bit will make it fail."
This patch handles userspace perf command, setting the exclude_guest
attribute if precise mode is requested, but only if a user has not
specified a request for guest or host only profiling (G or H attribute).
Kernel side AMD currently ignores all exclude_* bits, so there is no impact
to existing IBS code paths. Robert Richter has a patch where IBS code will
return EINVAL if an exclude_* bit is set. When this goes in it means use
of :p on AMD with IBS will first fail with EINVAL (because exclude_guest
will be set). Then the existing fallback code within perf will unset
exclude_guest and try again. The second attempt will succeed if the CPU
supports IBS profiling.

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.

Use command line string provided by the -e option to name events. This
way we get unique events names that also support pmu event syntax
(<pmu_name>/<config>/<modifier>). No need to reconstruct the name
anymore from its attributes. We use the event_desc of the header to
store the name in the perf.data header. Thus it is also available for
perf report.
Implemented by putting the parser in different states to parse events or
configs.
And since event names are now generated from the command line
specification. Update event names in test cases accordingly.

Just like was done for parse_events__set_leader.
Also we need to have the list_entry set_leader method in evlist.c so that we
don't grow another dep in the python binding:

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.

Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with
event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as
an update to the existing event modifiers.
Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function.
Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is
initialized/updated respectively.
Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember
if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the
default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group
modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set
by default or by event modifier.
Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset
the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups.
The grammar for group is:
groups: groups ',' group | group
group: group_name '{' events '}' group_mod
group_name: name | empty
group_mod: ':' group_mods | empty
group_mods: event_mod
It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier
for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event
modifiers.
It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on
command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of
the shells.
It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like:
'{cycles,faults}'
- anonymous group
'group1{cycles,faults}
- group with name 'group1'
'{cycles,faults}:k
- anonymous group with event modifier 'k'
'{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}'
- two anonymous groups
The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

There have one problem about hw_breakpoint perf event, as watched, the
events reported to userspace is not correctly, sometime one trigger
bp_event report several events, sometime bp_event cannot go through to
user.
The root cause is attr->freq is 1 passed to kernel defaultly in bp
events, this make kernel calculate event period not as expect, make
sample period to 1 will change attr->freq to 0, to fix this problem.
This patch is similar with commit f92128 about tracepoint events:

Trace events have a period (weight) of 1 by default. This can be
overriden on events definition by using the __perf_count() macro.
For example, the sched_stat_runtime() is weighted with the runtime of
the task that fired the event.
By default, perf handles such weighted event by dividing it into
individual events carrying a weight of 1. For example if
sched_stat_runtime is fired and the task has run 5000000 nsecs, perf
divides it into 5000000 events in the buffer.
This behaviour makes weighted events unusable because they quickly
fullfill the buffers and we lose most events.
The commit 5d81e5cfb3 ("events: Don't
divide events if it has field period") solves this problem by sending
only one event when PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD flag is set. The weight is
carried in the sample itself such that we don't need to demultiplex it
anymore.
This patch provides the last missing piece to use this feature by
setting PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD from perf tools when we deal with trace
events.
