-e "cpu/umask=0x02,event=0x0/"
-e cycles,branches,cache-misses
-e cache-references -- sleep 10
done
The bug was introduced by commit:
8077eca079 ("perf/x86/pebs: Add workaround for broken OVFL status on HSW+")
That commit clears the status bits for the counters used for PEBS
events, by masking the whole 64 bits pebs_enabled. However, only the
low 32 bits of both status and pebs_enabled are reserved for PEBS-able
counters.
For status bits 32-34 are fixed counter overflow bits. For
pebs_enabled bits 32-34 are for PEBS Load Latency.
In the test case, the PEBS Load Latency event and fixed counter event
could overflow at the same time. The fixed counter overflow bit will
be cleared by mistake. Once it is cleared, the fixed counter overflow
never be processed, which finally trigger spurious NMI.
Correct the PEBS enabled mask by ignoring the non-PEBS bits.

In https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/2/16 I reported a build error that I
believed was caused by wrong uapi includes. The synthom was fixed by
Arnaldo in:
commit 2f7db55579 ("perf tools: Fix include of linux/mman.h")
but I was wrong attributing the problem to the uapi include.
The root cause was that I was using ARCH=x86_64, hence using the wrong
uapi include path. This explains why no one else ran into this build
problem.

This change is a follow up of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/2/16
The patch above avoided redefining CC, CXX and PKG_CONFIG in feature
detection. The patch was not merged due to a unsolved concern with the
-MD flag.
Later, commit c8c188679c ("tools build: Use the same CC for feature
detection and actual build") did the change for CC and CXX but not
PKG_CONFIG.
This patch makes PKG_CONFIG consistent with CC and CXX and moves the -MD
to CFLAGS, as suggested by Jiri in the thread above.

perf trace supports --no-syscalls option but it's not listed in the man
page. (Though, I see an example using --no-syscalls in EXAMPLES
section.)
Committer note:
The --no-syscalls option tells 'perf trace' not to automagically ask for
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} to then format it in a strace like way.
This become more used as 'perf trace' got support for arbitrary events,
such as tracepoints, so more and more we use:

(This is a patch has been sitting in the Intel CQM/CMT driver series for
a while, despite not depend on it. Sending it now independently since
the series is being discarded.)
When an event is in error state, read() returns 0 instead of sizeof()
buffer. In certain modes, such as interval printing, ignoring the 0
return value may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and thus
invalid results printed.
This patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters() to mark the
event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force the printout routine to show
<NOT COUNTED>.

( This is a rebased version of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/7/662 )
Python's CC and link Makefile variables were not passed to feature
detection, causing feature detection to use system's Python rather than
PYTHON_CONFIG's one. This created a mismatch between the detected Python
support and the one actually used by perf when PYTHON_CONFIG is
specified.
Fix it by moving Python's variable initialization to before feature
detection and pass FLAGS_PYTHON_EMBED to Python's feature detection's
build target.

Consolidate x86 instruction decoder users on the path of
copying original code for kprobes.
Kprobes decodes the same instruction a maximum of 3 times when
preparing the instruction buffer:
- The first time for getting the length of the instruction,
- the 2nd for adjusting displacement,
- and the 3rd for checking whether the instruction is boostable or not.
For each time, the actual decoding target address is slightly
different (1st is original address or recovered instruction buffer,
2nd and 3rd are pointing to the copied buffer), but all have
the same instruction.
Thus, this patch also changes the target address to the copied
buffer at first and reuses the decoded "insn" for displacement
adjusting and checking boostability.

__perf_session__process_pipe_events reuses the same memory buffer to
process all events in the pipe.
When reordering is needed (e.g. -b option), events are not immediately
flushed, but kept around until reordering is possible, causing
memory corruption.
The problem is usually observed by a "Unknown sample error" output. It
can easily be reproduced by:
perf record -o - noploop | perf inject -b > output
Committer testing:
Before:
$ perf record -o - stress -t 2 -c 2 | perf inject -b > /dev/null
stress: info: [8297] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd

[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
Warning:

Is this an older tool processing a perf.data file generated by a more recent tool?
If that is not the case, consider reporting to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.

All paths following perf_session__process_event() in __cmd_inject() are
useless if __cmd_inject() is to fail, some depend on a correct
session->evlist.
First commit to add code that depends on session->evlist without checking
error was commmit e558a5bd8b ("perf inject: Work with files"). It has
grown since then.
Change __cmd_inject() to fail immediately after
perf_session__process_event() fails.

since 4.10 perf annotate exits on s390 with an "unknown error -95".
Turns out that commit 786c1b5184 ("perf annotate: Start supporting
cross arch annotation") added a hard requirement for architecture
support when objdump is used but only provided x86 and arm support.
Meanwhile power was added so lets add s390 as well.
While at it make sure to implement the branch and jump types.

The kernel has a special check for a specific irq_vectors trace event.
TRACE_EVENT_PERF_PERM(irq_work_exit,
is_sampling_event(p_event) ? -EPERM : 0);
The perf-record fails for this irq_vectors event when it is present,
like when using a wildcard:
root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
>= 0: Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_IOC_LOCK
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
This patch prints out the exact sub event that failed with EPERM for
wildcards to help in understanding what went wrong when this event is
present:
After the patch:
root@skl:/tmp# perf record -a -e irq_vectors:* sleep 2
Error:
No permission to enable irq_vectors:irq_work_exit event.
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
......
Committer notes:
So we have a lot of irq_vectors events:
[root@jouet ~]# perf list irq_vectors:*
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
irq_vectors:call_function_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:call_function_exit [Tracepoint event]

irq_vectors:threshold_apic_exit [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_entry [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:x86_platform_ipi_exit [Tracepoint event]
#
And some may be sampled:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:local* sleep 20s
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
[root@jouet ~]# perf report -D | egrep 'stats:|events:'
Aggregated stats:

irq_vectors:local_timer_entry stats:

SAMPLE events: 1
irq_vectors:local_timer_exit stats:

[root@jouet ~]#
But, as shown in the tracepoint definition at the start of this message,
some, like "irq_vectors:irq_work_exit", may not be sampled, just counted,
i.e. if we try to sample, as when using 'perf record', we get an error:
[root@jouet ~]# perf record -e irq_vectors:irq_work_exit
Error:
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
<SNIP>
The error message is misleading, this patch will help in pointing out
what is the event causing such an error, but the error message needs
improvement, i.e. we need to figure out a way to check if a tracepoint
is counting only, like this one, when all we can do is to count it with
'perf stat', at most printing the delta using interval printing, as in:
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat -I 5000 -e irq_vectors:irq_work_*
# time counts unit events
5.000168871 0 irq_vectors:irq_work_entry
