It turns out that a NULL pointer is referenced. Here are the
function calls:
...
cmd_stat()
+---> add_default_attributes()
+---> parse_events(evsel_list, transaction_attrs, NULL);
3rd parameter set to NULL
Function parse_events(xx, xx, struct parse_events_error *err) dives
into a bison generated scanner and creates
parser state information for it first:
struct parse_events_state parse_state = {
.list = LIST_HEAD_INIT(parse_state.list),
.idx = evlist->nr_entries,
.error = err, <--- NULL POINTER !!!
.evlist = evlist,
};
Now various functions inside the bison scanner are called to end up in
__parse_events_add_pmu(struct parse_events_state *parse_state, ..) with
first parameter being a pointer to above structure definition.
Now the PMU event name is not found (because being executed in a VM) and
this function tries to create an error message with
asprintf(&parse_state->error.str, ....)
which references a NULL pointer and dumps core.
Fix this by providing a pointer to the necessary error information
instead of NULL. Technically only the else part is needed to avoid the
core dump, just lets be safe...

To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same
type of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from
a single event specification:
1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name.
2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events
by perf list, are used.
When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed
individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which
count corresponds to which pmu:
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
67 l3cache/read-miss/
67 l3cache/read-miss/
63 l3cache/read-miss/
60 l3cache/read-miss/
0.001675706 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

12 l3cache_read_miss
17 l3cache_read_miss
10 l3cache_read_miss
8 l3cache_read_miss
0.001661305 seconds time elapsed
This change adds the original pmu name to the event. For dynamic pmu
events the pmu name is restored in the event name:
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
63 l3cache_0_3/read-miss/

64 l3cache_0_2/read-miss/
74 l3cache_0_0/read-miss/

For alias events the name is added after the event name:
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache_read_miss --no-merge ls > /dev/null

When printing stats in CSV mode, 'perf stat' appends extra separators
when a counter is not supported:
<not supported>,,L1-dcache-store-misses,mesos/bd442f34-2b4a-47df-b966-9b281f9f56fc,0,100.00,,,,
Which causes a failure when parsing fields. The numbers of separators
should be the same for each line, no matter if the counter is or not
supported.

If we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' with non-root account (even set
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1 yet), it reports the error:
jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread
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
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 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
Perhaps the ptrace rule doesn't allow to trace some processes. But anyway
the global --per-thread mode had better ignore such errors and continue
working on other threads.
This patch will record the index of error thread in perf_evsel__open()
and remove this thread before retrying.
For example (run with non-root, kernel.perf_event_paranoid isn't set):
jinyao@skl:~$ perf stat --per-thread

Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update
'perf stat' documentation accordingly.
Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.
$ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
157,260,423 cycles
2.003060766 seconds time elapsed
We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new
introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option.
In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd10410), the
monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the
interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is
10ms.
So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms
to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a
decision according to their spcific cases.
Committer notes:
This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints
the counts.
So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to
state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time,
but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts.
The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems
where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable,
such as centos:5 and centos:6.
Changes since v3:
- none.
Changes since v2:
- modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency
with the workload case.
- add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms.
- add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms.
Changes since v1:
- none.

Introduce a new option to print counts for fixed number of times and
update 'perf stat' documentation accordingly.
Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.

# time counts unit events
1.002827089 93,884,870 cycles
2.004231506 56,573,446 cycles
We can just print the counts for several times with this newly
introduced option. The usage of it is a little like 'vmstat', and it
should be used together with "-I" option.
$ vmstat -n 1 2

Changes since v3:
- merge interval_count check and times check to one line.
- fix the wrong indent in stat.h
- use stat_config.times instead of 'times' in cmd_stat function.
Changes since v2:
- none.
Changes since v1:
- change the name of the new option "times-print" to "interval-count".
- keep the new option interval specifically.

Currently, if we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' without specifying
pid/tid, perf will return error.
root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread
The --per-thread option is only available when monitoring via -p -t options.
-p, --pid <pid> stat events on existing process id
-t, --tid <tid> stat events on existing thread id
This patch removes this limitation. If no pid/tid specified, it returns
all threads (get threads from /proc).
Note that it doesn't support cpu_list yet so if it's a cpu_list case,
then skip.

The function perf_stat__print_shadow_stats() is called to print the
shadow stats on a set of static variables.
But the static variables are the limitations to support
per-thread shadow stats.
This patch lets the perf_stat__print_shadow_stats() support
to print the shadow stats from a input parameter 'st'.
It will not directly get value from static variable. Instead,
it now uses runtime_stat_avg() and runtime_stat_n() to get and
compute the values.

Add generic support for standalone metrics specified in JSON files to
perf stat. A metric is a formula that uses multiple events to compute a
higher level result (e.g. IPC).
Previously metrics were always tied to an event and automatically
enabled with that event. But now change it that we can have standalone
metrics. They are in the same JSON data structure as events, but don't
have an event name.
We also allow to organize the metrics in metric groups, which allows a
short cut to select several related metrics at once.
Add a new -M / --metrics option to perf stat that adds the metrics or
metric groups specified.
Add the core code to manage and parse the metric groups. They are
collected from the JSON data structures into a separate rblist. When
computing shadow values look for metrics in that list. Then they are
computed using the existing saved values infrastructure in stat-shadow.c
The actual JSON metrics are in a separate pull request.

Setting up groups can be complicated due to the complicated scheduling
restrictions of different PMUs.
User tools usually don't understand all these restrictions.
Still in many cases it is useful to set up groups and they work most of
the time. However if the group is set up wrong some members will not
report any value because they never get scheduled.
Add a concept of a 'weak group': try to set up a group, but if it's not
schedulable fallback to not using a group. That gives us the best of
both worlds: groups if they work, but still a usable fallback if they
don't.
In theory it would be possible to have more complex fallback strategies
(e.g. try to split the group in half), but the simple fallback of not
using a group seems to work for now.
So far the weak group is only implemented for perf stat, not for record.
Here's an unschedulable group (on IvyBridge with SMT on)

Peter reported that when he explicitely asked for multiple events with
the same name on the command line it got coalesced into just one line,

#
And while there is the --no-merges option to disable that auto-merging,
this is a blunt change in behaviour for such explicit request, so change
the code so that this auto merging is done only when handling the multi
PMU aliases with the same name that introduced this coalescing,
restoring the previous behaviour for the explicit case:
# perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1

Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost.
During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set.
The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and
two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT).
In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful
than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core
cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default.
SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf
Here is an example output.
Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ':

(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>.

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.
Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.
We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.
Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.
Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.
Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.
There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.
Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.
This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

When testing I realized the default case for !root, i.e. no events
passed via -e, was broke by v2 of this patch, reported and after a
patch provided by Jiri it is back working:

When using perf stat on an AMD F15h system with the default hw events
attributes, some of the events don't get counted:
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
0.749208 task-clock (msec) # 0.001 CPUs utilized
1 context-switches # 0.001 M/sec
0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec
54 page-faults # 0.072 M/sec
1,122,815 cycles # 1.499 GHz
286,740 stalled-cycles-frontend # 25.54% frontend cycles idle
<not counted> stalled-cycles-backend (0.00%)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
<not counted> instructions (0.00%)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
<not counted> branches (0.00%)
<not counted> branch-misses (0.00%)
1.001550070 seconds time elapsed
The reason is that we have the HW watchdog consuming one PMU counter and
when perf tries to schedule 6 events on 6 counters and some of those
counters are constrained to only a specific subset of PMCs by the
hardware, the event scheduling fails.
So issue a hint to disable the HW watchdog around a perf stat session.

Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:

perf stat ...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

It now can have negative value to suppress the message entirely. So it
needs to check it being positive.

Boris asked for default -a option in case we monitor only uncore events.
While implementing that I thought it might be actually useful to make it
overall default.
Running 'perf stat' will now collect system wide data.

There are 2 problems wrt. cpu_topology_map on systems with sparse CPUs:
1. offline/absent CPUs will have their socket_id and core_id set to -1
which triggers:
"socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool."
2. size of cpu_topology_map (perf_env.cpu[]) is allocated based on
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, but can be indexed with CPU ids going above.
Users of perf_env.cpu[] are using CPU id as index. This can lead
to read beyond what was allocated:
==19991== Invalid read of size 4
==19991== at 0x490CEB: check_cpu_topology (topology.c:69)
==19991== by 0x490CEB: test_session_topology (topology.c:106)
...
For example:
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF == 16
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 6 8 10 16 22 24 26
node 0 size: 12004 MB
node 0 free: 9470 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 7 9 11 23 25 27
node 1 size: 12093 MB
node 1 free: 9406 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 20
1: 20 10
This patch changes HEADER_NRCPUS.nr_cpus_available from _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF
to max_present_cpu and updates any user of cpu_topology_map to iterate
with nr_cpus_avail.
As a consequence HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY core_id and socket_id lists get longer,
but maintain compatibility with pre-patch state - index to cpu_topology_map is
CPU id.
