This is the second version of a patch that improves the error message of
the perf events parser when the PMU hardware does not support address
filters.
Previously, the perf returned the following error:
$ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write'
--filter option should follow a -e tracepoint or HW tracer option
This implies there is some syntax error present in the command line,
which is not true. Rather, notify the user that the CPU does not have
support for this feature.
For example, Intel chips based on the Broadwell micro-archticture have
the Intel PT PMU, but do not support address filtering.
Now, perf prints the following error message:
$ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write'
This CPU does not support address filtering

That takes care of using the right call to get the tracing_path
directory, the one that will end up calling tracing_path_set() to figure
out where tracefs is mounted.
One more step in doing just lazy reading of system structures to reduce
the number of operations done unconditionaly at 'perf' start.

Perf stat doesn't count the uncore event aliases from the same uncore
block in a group, for example:
perf stat -e '{unc_m_cas_count.all,unc_m_clockticks}' -a -I 1000
# time counts unit events
1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all
1.000447342 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks
2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_cas_count.all
2.000740654 <not counted> unc_m_clockticks
The output is very misleading. It gives a wrong impression that the
uncore event doesn't work.
An uncore block could be composed by several PMUs. An uncore event alias
is a joint name which means the same event runs on all PMUs of a block.
Perf doesn't support mixed events from different PMUs in the same group.
It is wrong to put uncore event aliases in a big group.
The right way is to split the big group into multiple small groups which
only include the events from the same PMU.
Only uncore event aliases from the same uncore block should be specially
handled here. It doesn't make sense to mix the uncore events with other
uncore events from different blocks or even core events in a group.
With the patch:
# time counts unit events
1.001557653 140,833 unc_m_cas_count.all
1.001557653 1,330,231,332 unc_m_clockticks
2.002709483 85,007 unc_m_cas_count.all

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:
tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);
The gcc docs says:
To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
has been truncated.
Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.

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
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
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/

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

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.
Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.
Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.
I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.
Before:
$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 2000003
After:
$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Currently, perf record is broken on arm/arm64 systems when the PMU is
specified explicitly as part of the event, e.g.
$ ./perf record -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/u true
In such cases, perf record fails to open events unless
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, even if the PMU in question supports
mode exclusion. Further, even when perf_event_paranoid is toggled, no
samples are recorded.
This is an unintended side effect of commit:
e3ba76deef ("perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring)
... which assumes that if a PMU has an associated cpu_map, it is an
uncore PMU, and forces events for such PMUs to be system-wide.
This is not true for arm/arm64 systems, which can have heterogeneous
CPUs. To account for this, multiple CPU PMUs are exposed, each with a
"cpus" field under sysfs, which the perf tool parses into a cpu_map. ARM
PMUs do not have a "cpumask" file, and only have a "cpus" file. For the
gory details as to why, see commit:
7e3fcffe95 ("perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask")
Given all of this, we can instead identify uncore PMUs by explicitly
checking for a "cpumask" file, and restore arm/arm64 PMU support back to
a working state. This patch does so, adding a new perf_pmu::is_uncore
field, and splitting the existing cpumask parsing so that it can be
reused.

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)
% perf stat -e '{branches,branch-misses,l1d.replacement,l2_lines_in.all,l2_rqsts.all_code_rd}' -a sleep 1

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,
i.e.:
# perf stat -e cycles -e cycles -e cycles usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
3,269,652 cycles
0.000884123 seconds time elapsed
#
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
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
1,472,837 cycles
1,472,837 cycles

Andi reported problems when parse errors were detected with vendor
events (json), because in the yyparse/parse_events_parse function we
dereferenced the _data parameter to two different structs, with
different layouts, which ended up making parse_events_evlist->error to
point to random stack addresses.
Fix it by making _data to always be struct parse_events_state, changing
the only place where 'struct parse_events_term' was used in
parse_events.y.

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.

When the user specifies a pmu directly, expand it automatically with a
prefix match for all available PMUs, similar as we do for the normal
aliases now.
This allows to specify attributes for duplicated boxes quickly. For
example uncore_cbox_{0,6}/.../ can be now specified as uncore_cbox/.../
and it gets automatically expanded for all boxes.
This generally makes it more concise to write uncore specifications, and
also avoids the need to know the exact topology of the system.

only supported the cpu PMU.
This patch extends it to work for all PMUs. We always duplicate the
event for all PMUs that have an matching alias. This allows to
automatically expand an alias for all instances of a PMU (so for example
you can monitor all cache boxes with a single event)

It can be useful to specify branch type state per event, for example if
we want to collect both software trace points and last branch PMU events
in a single collection. Currently this doesn't work because the software
trace point errors out with -b.
There was already a branch-type parameter to configure branch sample
types per event in the parser, but it was stubbed out. This patch
implements the necessary plumbing to actually enable it.
Now:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch,cpu/cpu-cycles,branch_type=any/ ...

Make alias matching the events parser case-insensitive. This is useful
with the JSON events. perf uses lower case events, but the CPU manuals
generally use upper case event names. The JSON files use lower case by
default too. But if we search case insensitively then users can
cut-n-paste the upper case event names.
So the following works:
% perf stat -e BR_INST_EXEC.TAKEN_INDIRECT_NEAR_CALL true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
305 BR_INST_EXEC.TAKEN_INDIRECT_NEAR_CALL
0.000492799 seconds time elapsed

This avoids the JSON PMU events parser having to know whether its
aliases are for perf stat or perf record.

Previously we were dropping the useful longer descriptions that some
events have in the event list completely. This patch makes them appear with
perf list.
Old perf list:
baclears:
baclears.all
[Counts the number of baclears]
vs new:
perf list -v:
...
baclears:
baclears.all
[The BACLEARS event counts the number of times the front end is
resteered, mainly when the Branch Prediction Unit cannot provide
a correct prediction and this is corrected by the Branch Address
Calculator at the front end. The BACLEARS.ANY event counts the
number of baclears for any type of branch]

Add a --no-desc flag to 'perf list' to not print the event descriptions
that were earlier added for JSON events. This may be useful to get a
less crowded listing.
It's still default to print descriptions as that is the more useful
default for most users.

This patch makes it possible to use the current filter framework with
address filters. That way address filters for HW tracers such as
CoreSight and Intel PT can be communicated to the kernel drivers.
