First column is the cpu and the second the timestamp.

That way we can investigate problems in the event stream.

If the new perf binary is run on an older kernel, it will disable this feature
automatically.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo baa2f6cedb perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids
Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.

For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.

Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

Tom Zanussi 789688faef perf/live: don't synthesize build ids at the end of a live mode trace
It doesn't really make sense to record the build ids at the end of a
live mode session - live mode samples need that information during the
trace rather than at the end.

Leave event__synthesize_build_id() in place, however; we'll still be
using that to synthesize build ids in a more timely fashion in a
future patch.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 23346f21b2 perf tools: Rename "kernel_info" to "machine"
struct kernel_info and kerninfo__ are too vague, what they really
describe are machines, virtual ones or hosts.

There are more changes to introduce helpers to shorten function calls
and to make more clear what is really being done, but I left that for
subsequent patches.

Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with
a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes
the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a
pipe.

The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
to break it down into component events.  The tracing_data event
itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
processing loop in a previous patch.

Bypasses the attr perf header code and replaces it with a
synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the

Making the attrs into events allows them to be streamed over a
pipe along with the rest of the header data (in later patches).
It also paves the way to allowing events to be added and removed
from perf sessions dynamically.

Tom Zanussi 8dc58101f2 perf: Add pipe-specific header read/write and event processing code
This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream
to be sent and received over a pipe:

- adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code

- adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code

- adds a range of event types to be used for header or other
  pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel

- checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use
  to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually
  reading them into event objects.

- unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its
  users.

Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data
file format or processing - this code only comes into play if
perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef12a14130 perf buildid-cache: Add new command to manage build-id cache
For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its
build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache.

Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a
perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have
the tools find it when resolving symbols.

It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

So I think this is really, really nice in that it demonstrates
the portability of perf.data files and the use of build-ids
accross such aliens worlds :-)

There are some things to fix tho, like the bitmap on the header,
but things are looking good.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 8d06367fa7 perf symbols: Use the buildids if present
With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.

'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.

When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.

Example:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
 /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
  # Samples: 2621434559
  #
  # Overhead          Command                  Shared Object  Symbol
  # ........  ...............  .............................  ......
  #
       7.91%             init  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.64%             init  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       3.65%             init  [kernel]        [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#

In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.

Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.

Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:

'perf list-buildids'

that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.

Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

Frederic Weisbecker 2ba0825075 perf tools: Introduce bitmask'ed additional headers
This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
optional features present in the perf.data file.

The layout can be pictured like this:

(Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
n][Feature 255]

If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
compatibility.

The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
this is the first and only one for now.

This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.

And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
version.

Frederic Weisbecker 03456a158d perf tools: Merge trace.info content into perf.data
This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.

This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.

A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.

That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.

But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

Ingo Molnar cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Arjan van de Ven 8755a8f27a perf: Store trace event name/id pairs in perf.data
The trace event name<->id mapping is dynamic for each kernel
compile. In order for perf.data to be useable outside the actual
system, we thus need to store a table of this mapping for later
use.

This patch adds this table to perf.data, and provides helper
functions for lookup up fields from this table.

To avoid mistakes, lookup-from-table is kept completely seprate
from lookup-from-local-debugfs.

Arjan van de Ven dfe5a50461 perf: avoid structure size confusion by using a fixed size
for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files
(the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it).
The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different
compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason.

But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct
are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage.
The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after
skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug
is not normally noticed.

.... except when you want every sample to be exact.

Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.
