Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Most of the changes are for tooling, the main changes in this cycle were:
- Improve Intel-PT hardware tracing support, both on the kernel and
on the tooling side: PTWRITE instruction support, power events for
C-state tracing, etc. (Adrian Hunter)
- Add support to measure SMI cost to the x86 architecture, with
tooling support in 'perf stat' (Kan Liang)
- Support function filtering in 'perf ftrace', plus related
improvements (Namhyung Kim)
- Allow adding and removing fields to the default 'perf script'
columns, using + or - as field prefixes to do so (Andi Kleen)
- Allow resolving the DSO name with 'perf script -F brstack{sym,off},dso'
(Mark Santaniello)
- Add perf tooling unwind support for PowerPC (Paolo Bonzini)
- ... and various other improvements as well"

CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packets provide an indication of CPU frequency. A
more accurate measure can be made by counting the cycles (given by CYC
packets) in between other timing packets (either MTC or TSC). Using TSC
packets has at least 2 issues: 1) timing might have stopped (e.g. mwait) or
2) TSC packets within PSB+ might slip past CYC packets. For now, simply do
not use TSC packets for calculating CPU cycles to TSC. That leaves the case
where 2 MTC packets are used, otherwise falling back to the CBR value.

Synthesize new power and ptwrite events.
Power events report changes to C-state but I have also added support
for the existing CBR (core-to-bus ratio) packet and included that
when outputting power events.
The PTWRITE packet is associated with the new "ptwrite" instruction,
which is essentially just a way to stuff a 32 or 64 bit value into the
PT trace.
More details can be found in the patches that add documentation and in
the Intel SDM.

Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information
recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a
there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE
trace packet.
Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be treated as a
sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated in the
sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW).
However a means of identifying the raw data format is needed. That will
be done by synthesizing an attribute for it.
So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events. Different
synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'.
Committer notes:
Start those PERF_TYPE_ after the PMU range, i.e. after (INT_MAX + 1U),
i.e. after perf_pmu_register() -> idr_alloc(end=0).

This patch adds platform dependency into the test case 15
(perf_event_attr). It is based on a suggestion from Jiri Olsa.
Add a new optional attribute named 'arch' in the [config] section of the
test case file. It is a comma separated list of architecture names this
test can be executed on. For example:
arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc
If this attribute is missing the test is executed on any platform. This
does not break existing behavior.
The values listed for this attribute should be identical to uname -m
output.
If the list starts with an exclamation mark (!) the comparison is
inverted, for example for
arch = !s390x,ppc
the test is not executed on s390x or ppc platforms. The exclamation
mark must be at the beginnning of the list.
Here is an example debug output:
[root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C2
arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc
[root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \
-d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1
provides the following output:
running './tests/attr//test-stat-C1'
test limitation 'x86_64,alpha,ppc' <--- new
loading expected events
Event event:base-stat
fd = 1
group_fd = -1
.....
Here is the output when a test is skipped:
[root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C1
arch = !s390x
[root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \
-d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1
provides the following output:
test limitation '!s390x' <--- new
skipped [s390x] './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' <--- new
The test is skipped with return code 0.

Check the symbol name value before calling
maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and succeed without ref_reloc_sym
being set. It's safe because we check its existence before we use it.

In commit 613f050d68 ("perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated
functions in modules"), the offset from symbol is, incorrectly, added
to the trace point address. This leads to incorrect probe trace points
for inlined functions and when using relative line number on symbols.
Prior this patch:
$ perf probe -m nf_nat -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.9+0
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_napi_poll+2212
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq:16
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_lan_xmit_frame+626
After:
$ perf probe -m nf_nat -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.9+0
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_napi_poll+1106
$ perf probe -m i40e -D i40e_clean_rx_irq:16
p:probe/i40e_clean_rx_irq i40e:i40e_napi_poll+2665
Committer testing:
Using 'pfunct', a tool found in the 'dwarves' package [1], one can ask what are
the functions that while not being explicitely marked as inline, were inlined
by the compiler:
# pfunct --cc_inlined /lib/modules/4.12.0-rc4+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko | head
__ew32
e1000_regdump
e1000e_dump_ps_pages
e1000_desc_unused
e1000e_systim_to_hwtstamp
e1000e_rx_hwtstamp
e1000e_update_rdt_wa
e1000e_update_tdt_wa
e1000_put_txbuf
e1000_consume_page
Then ask 'perf probe' to produce the kprobe_tracer probe definitions for two of
them:
# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000e_rx_hwtstamp
p:probe/e1000e_rx_hwtstamp e1000e:e1000_receive_skb+74
# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000_consume_page
p:probe/e1000_consume_page e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+876
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_1 e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+1506
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_2 e1000e:e1000_clean_rx_irq_ps+1074
Now lets concentrate on the 'e1000_consume_page' one, that was inlined twice in
e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq(), lets see what readelf says about the DWARF tags for
that function:
$ readelf -wi /lib/modules/4.12.0-rc4+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko
<SNIP>
<1><13e27b>: Abbrev Number: 121 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<13e27c> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xa8945): e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq
<13e287> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17a30
<3><13e6ef>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<13e6f0> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x13ed2c>
<13e6f4> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17be6
<SNIP>
<1><13ed2c>: Abbrev Number: 142 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<13ed2e> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0xa54c3): e1000_consume_page
So, the first time in e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq() where e1000_consume_page() is
inlined is at PC 0x17be6, which subtracted from e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq()'s
address, gives us the offset we should use in the probe definition:
0x17be6 - 0x17a30 = 438
but above we have 876, which is twice as much.
Lets see the second inline expansion of e1000_consume_page() in
e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq():
<3><13e86e>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<13e86f> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x13ed2c>
<13e873> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17d21
0x17d21 - 0x17a30 = 753
So we where adding it at twice the offset from the containing function as we
should.
And then after this patch:
# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000e_rx_hwtstamp
p:probe/e1000e_rx_hwtstamp e1000e:e1000_receive_skb+37
# perf probe -m e1000e -D e1000_consume_page
p:probe/e1000_consume_page e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+438
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_1 e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+753
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_2 e1000e:e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq+1353
#
Which matches the two first expansions and shows that because we were
doubling the offset it would spill over the next function:
readelf -sw /lib/modules/4.12.0-rc4+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko
673: 0000000000017a30 1626 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 2 e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq
674: 0000000000018090 2013 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 2 e1000_clean_rx_irq_ps
This is the 3rd inline expansion of e1000_consume_page() in
e1000_clean_jumbo_rx_irq():
<3><13ec77>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_inlined_subroutine)
<13ec78> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x13ed2c>
<13ec7c> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x17f79
0x17f79 - 0x17a30 = 1353
So:
0x17a30 + 2 * 1353 = 0x184c2
And:
0x184c2 - 0x18090 = 1074
Which explains the bogus third expansion for e1000_consume_page() to end up at:
p:probe/e1000_consume_page_2 e1000e:e1000_clean_rx_irq_ps+1074
All fixed now :-)

Add decoder support for PTWRITE, MWAIT, PWRE, PWRX and EXSTOP packets. This
patch only affects the decoder, so the tools still do not select or consume
the new information. That is added in subsequent patches.

Branch tracing is enabled by default, so a fake config bit called 'pt'
(pass-through) was added to allow the 'branch enable' bit to have affect.
Add default config 'pt,branch' which will allow users to disable branch
tracing using 'branch=0' instead of having to specify 'pt,branch=0'.

The kernel now supports the disabling of branch tracing, however the
decoder assumes branch tracing is always enabled. Pass through a parameter
to indicate whether branch tracing is enabled and use it to avoid cases
when the decoder is expecting branch packets. There are 2 such cases.
First, FUP packets which can bind to an IP even when there is no branch
tracing. Secondly, the decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP
to start decoding or to recover from errors.

Sometimes a FUP packet is associated with a TSX transaction and a flag is
set to indicate that. Ensure that flag is cleared on any error condition
because at that point the decoder can no longer assume it is correct.

The decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP to start decoding
or to recover from errors. Currently the FUP packet is used only in the
case of an overflow, however there is no reason for that to be a special
case. So just use FUP always when scanning for an IP.

Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding purposes,
'last IP' is not updated when a branch target has been suppressed, which is
indicated by IPBytes == 0. IPBytes is stored in the packet 'count', so
ensure never to set 'last_ip' when packet 'count' is zero.

Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding
purposes, 'last IP' is considered to be reset to zero whenever there is
a synchronization packet (PSB). The decoder wasn't doing that, and was
treating the zero value to mean that there was no last IP, whereas
compression can be done against the zero value. Fix by setting last_ip
to zero when a PSB is received and keep track of have_last_ip.

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp
for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently
hasn't reached. Improve that situation by using the pkt_state to
determine when to use the current or previous timestamp.
