Vince Weaver 88fee52e58 perf list: Fix checking for supported events on older kernels
"perf list" listing of hardware events doesn't work on older ARM devices.
The change enabling event detection:

 commit b41f1cec91
 Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>
 Date:   Tue Aug 27 11:41:53 2013 +0900

     perf list: Skip unsupported events

uses the following code in tools/perf/util/parse-events.c:

        struct perf_event_attr attr = {
                .type = type,
                .config = config,
                .disabled = 1,
                .exclude_kernel = 1,
        };

On ARM machines pre-dating the Cortex-A15 this doesn't work, as these
machines don't support .exclude_kernel.  So starting with 3.12 "perf
list" does not report any hardware events at all on older machines (seen
on Rasp-Pi, Pandaboard, Beagleboard, etc).

This version of the patch makes changes suggested by Namhyung Kim to
check for EACCESS and retry (instead of just dropping the
exclude_kernel) so we can properly handle machines where
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 2.

Stephane Eranian 8a398897ff perf stat: fix NULL pointer reference bug with event unit
This patch fixes a problem with the handling of the newly introduced
optional event unit. The following cmdline caused a segfault:

 $ perf stat -e cpu/event-0x3c/ ls

This patch fixes the problem with the default setting for alias->unit
which was eventually causing the segfault.

For the common evsel list traversal, so that it becomes more compact.

Use the opportunity to start ditching the 'perf_' from 'perf_evlist__',
as discussed, as the whole conversion touches a lot of places, lets do
it piecemeal when we have the chance due to other work, like in this
case.

Borislav Petkov 553873e1df tools/: Convert to new topic libraries
Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.

For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
tools/vm/page-types.

acme:

"Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.

But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."

Fixup documentation cleaning target while at it.

Stephane Eranian 410136f5dd tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale support
This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and
scales as exported by the kernel.

The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor
via sysfs:

  $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-*
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit
  $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
  2.3283064365386962890625e-10
  $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
  Joules

This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check
for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load
the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat
transparently:

   # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000
   #          time             counts   unit events
       1.000214717               3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/         [100.00%]
       1.000214717               0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/
       1.000214717           12965028        cycles                    [100.00%]
       2.000749289               3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/
       2.000749289               0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/
       2.000749289           15817043        cycles

When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by
the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there
will be an empty field.

Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code
in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef503831d8 perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructor
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.

Michael Ellerman e9a7c41447 perf tools: Add support for pinned modifier
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.

Jiri Olsa 3c1763115b perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value
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 }'

David Howells d2709c7ce4 perf: Make perf build for x86 with UAPI disintegration applied
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.

David Ahern 1342798cc1 perf tool: Precise mode requires exclude_guest
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.

Irina Tirdea 1d037ca164 perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables
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.

Jiri Olsa 6a4bb04caa perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events
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.

Jiri Olsa f5b1135bf7 perf tools: Add support to update event modifier
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).

Jiri Olsa 89efb02950 perf tools: Add support to parse event group syntax
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.

Jovi Zhang 4a841d650e perf tools: Make the breakpoint events sample period default to 1
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:
    perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1

Frederic Weisbecker 0983cc0dbc perf tools: Fix trace events storms due to weight demux
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.
