ee4c75887d perf tools: Force period term to overload global settings
Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:

With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...

This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).

Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

4c7de49a29 perf session env: Rename exit method
The semantic associated in tools/perf/ with foo__delete(instance) is to
release all resources referenced by 'instance' members and then release
the memory for 'instance' itself.

The perf_session_env__delete() function isn't doing this, it just does
the first part, but the space used by 'instance' itself isn't freed, as
it is embedded in a larger structure, that will be freed at other stage.

For these cases we se foo__exit(), i.e. the usage is:

 void foo__delete(foo)
 {
         if (foo) {
                 foo__exit(foo);
                 free(foo);
         }
 }

But when we have something like:

 struct bar {
         struct foo foo;
         . . .
 }

Then we can't really call foo__delete(&bar.foo), we must have this
instead:

 void bar__exit(bar)
 {
         foo__exit(&bar.foo);
         /* free other bar-> resources */
 }

 void bar__delete(bar)
 {
         if (bar) {
		bar__exit(bar);
                free(bar);
         }
 }

So just rename perf_session_env__delete() to perf_session_env__exit().

58b32c1b53 perf python: Make twatch.py use soft dummy event, freq=0
To not sample, what we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events
for threads, using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE +
PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES and freq=1 (the default), makes perf reenable
irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, disabling nohz, not good for some use
cases where all we want is to get notifications when threads comes and
goes...

Fix it by using PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (no counter rotation) and
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY (created by Adrian so that we could have access to
those PERF_RECORD_ goodies).

959c2199d4 perf python: Remove dependency on 'machine' methods
The python binding still doesn't provide symbol resolving facilities,
but the recent addition of the trace_event__register_resolver() function
made it add as a dependency the machine__resolve_kernel_addr() method,
that in turn drags all the symbol resolving code.

The problem:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf test -v python
  17: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 6853
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: machine__resolve_kernel_addr
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  [root@zoo ~]#

Fix it by requiring this function to receive the resolver as a
parameter, just like pevent_register_function_resolver(), i.e. do
not explicitely refer to an object file not included in
tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources.

  [root@zoo ~]# perf test python

0927beeca5 perf tools: Fix test build error when bindir contains double slash

	$ make prefix=/usr/local/

one of the perf tests fail to compile due to BUILD_STR macro mishandling
bindir_SQ string containing with two slashes:

	-DBINDIR="BUILD_STR(/usr/local//bin)"

with the following error:

	  CC       tests/attr.o
	tests/attr.c: In function ‘test__attr’:
	tests/attr.c:168:50: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘;’ token

	 ^
	tests/attr.c:176:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
	 }
	 ^
	cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

This patch works around the problem by "cleaning" the bindir string
using make's abspath function.

5497628576 perf stat: Fix transaction lenght metrics
The transaction length metrics in perf stat -T broke recently.

It would not match the metric correctly and always print K/sec.

This was caused by a incorrect update of the cycles_in_tx statistics.

Update the correct variable.

Also the check for zero division was reversed, which resulted in K/sec
being printed for no transactions. Fix this also up.

~4.5MB per perf.data when we can get it from one of the places the perf

/proc/kallsyms, --symfs, etc), using the kernel and modules build-ids to
make sure the right table is used.

ccb3a8294a perf script: Switch from perf.data's kallsyms to perf's symbol resolver
We were storing a copy of kallsyms inside perf.data file so that we
could resolve kernel addresses to function (start, name, mod) tuples,
but that can be achieved using the symbol resolving routines we have
in symbols.c, and that are used elsewhere in tools/perf.

So, do just like 'perf trace' did and ask libtraceevent to use perf's
symbol resolution routines.

The next step is to just skip whatever kallsyms data is embedded in
older perf.data files and finally to stop storing kallsyms in the perf
data file, as the 20-bytes build-id stored in perf.data's header is
enough to find out the right symtab (be it ELF, kcore, kallsyms, etc) to
use.

33a2471cc9 tools lib traceevent: Allow setting an alternative symbol resolver
The perf tools have a symbol resolver that includes solving kernel
symbols using either kallsyms or ELF symtabs, and it also is using
libtraceevent to format the trace events fields, including via
subsystem specific plugins, like the "timer" one.

To solve fields like "timer:hrtimer_start"'s "function", libtraceevent
needs a way to map from its value to a function name and addr.

This patch provides a way for tools that already have symbol resolving
facilities to ask libtraceevent to use it when needing to resolve
kernel symbols.

d2f3f5d2e9 perf bench futex: Add lock_pi stresser
Allows a way of measuring low level kernel implementation of FUTEX_LOCK_PI and
FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI.

The program comes in two flavors:

(i) single futex (default), all threads contend on the same uaddr.  For the
sake of the benchmark, we call into kernel space even when the lock is
uncontended.  The kernel will set it to TID, any waters that come in and
contend for the pi futex will be handled respectively by the kernel.

(ii) -M option for multiple futexes, each thread deals with its own futex. This
is a trivial scenario and only measures kernel handling of 0->TID transition.

4ba1faa19f perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf
This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

 # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

 # /tmp/perf report --stdio
 ...
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
  # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
  #
      99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
      0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
      0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
 ...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

 # cat << EOF > ./tmp
 > #!/bin/sh
 > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
 > EOF
 # chmod a+x ./tmp
 # ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

15bfd2cc10 perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching
There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at
Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing
multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add
'--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one.

For example:

 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
 [1] 464
 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2092
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...

In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and
there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'.

This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and
apply filter on all events between two boundary marks.

After applying this patch:

 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 1  of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 1
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...

Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +

Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
in 'strace' and send it our way :-)

8ff9daf3c1 perf strlist: Allow substitutions from file contents in a given directory
So, if we have an strlist equal to:

   "file,close"

And we call it as:

   struct strlist_config *config = { .dirname = "~/strace/groups", };
   struct strlist *slist = strlist__new("file, close", &config);

And we have:
  $ cat ~/strace/groups/file
  access
  open
  openat
  statfs

Then the resulting strlist will have these contents:

  [ "access", "open", "openat", "statfs", "close" ]

This will be used to implement strace syscall groups in 'perf trace',
but can be used in some other tool, thus being implemented in 'strlist'.

3c71ba3f80 perf tools: Really allow to specify custom CC, AR or LD
Commit 5ef7bbb09f ("perf tools: Allow to specify custom linker
command") was meant to enable usage non $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld linker during
perf building.

But implementation didn't take into account the fact that LD is a
pre-defined variable in GNU Make. I.e. it is always defined.

Which means there's no point to check "LD ?= ..." because it will never
succeed.

And so LD will be either that explicitly passed to make like this:

 ------->8-------
 make LD=path_to_my_ld ...
 ------->8-------
 or default value, which is host's "ld".

Latter leads to failure of cross-linkage because instead of cross linker
"$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld" host's "ld" is used.

Fortunately there's a way to do correct substitution of $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld
with user defined LD on command-line.

As a reference was used implementation in "tools/lib/traceevent/Makefile".

Build tested for x86_64 and ARC.

Thanks Jiri for this hint.

9c0fa8dd3d perf hists browser: Take the --comm, --dsos, etc filters into account
At some point:

  commit 2c86c7ca76
  Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
  Date:   Mon Mar 17 18:18:54 2014 -0300

    perf report: Merge al->filtered with hist_entry->filtered

We stopped dropping samples for things filtered via the --comms, --dsos,
--symbols, etc, i.e. things marked as filtered in the symbol resolution
routines (thread__find_addr_map(), perf_event__preprocess_sample(),
etc).

But then, in:

  commit 268397cb2a
  Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
  Date:   Tue Apr 22 14:49:31 2014 +0900

    perf top/tui: Update nr_entries properly after a filter is applied

We don't take into account entries that were filtered in
perf_event__preprocess_sample() and friends, which leads to
inconsistency in the browser seek routines, that expects the number of
hist_entry->filtered entries to match what it thinks is the number of
unfiltered, browsable entries.

So, for instance, when we do:

  perf top --symbols ___non_existent_symbol___

the hist_browser__nr_entries() routine thinks there are no filters in
place, uses the hists->nr_entries but all entries are filtered, leading
to a segfault.

Tested with:

   perf top --symbols malloc,free --percentage=relative

Freezing, by pressing 'f', at any time and doing the math on the
percentages ends up with 100%, ditto for:

   perf top --dsos libpthread-2.20.so,libxul.so --percentage=relative

Both were segfaulting, all fixed now.

More work needed to do away with checking if filters are in place, we
should just use the nr_non_filtered_samples counter, no need to
conditionally use it or hists.nr_filter, as what the browser does is
just show unfiltered stuff. An audit of how it is being accounted is
needed, this is the minimal fix.
