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.

Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
The perf tools can read a cpumask file for a PMU, describing a subset of
CPUs which that PMU covers. So far this has only been used to cater for
uncore PMUs, which in practice happen to only have a single CPU
described in the mask.
Until recently, the perf tools only correctly handled cpumask containing
a single CPU, and only when monitoring in system-wide mode. For example,
prior to commit 00e727bb38 ("perf stat: Balance opening and
reading events"), a mask with more than a single CPU could cause perf
stat to hang. When a CPU PMU covers a subset of CPUs, but lacks a
cpumask, perf record will fail to open events (on the cores the PMU does
not support), and gives up.
For systems with heterogeneous CPUs such as ARM big.LITTLE systems, this
presents a problem. We have a PMU for each microarchitecture (e.g. a big
PMU and a little PMU), and would like to expose a cpumask for each (so
as to allow perf record and other tools to do the right thing). However,
doing so kernel-side will cause old perf binaries to not function (e.g.
hitting the issue solved by 00e727bb38), and thus commits the
cardinal sin of breaking (existing) userspace.
To address this chicken-and-egg problem, this patch adds support got a
new file, cpus, which is largely identical to the existing cpumask file.
A kernel can expose this file, knowing that new perf binaries will
correctly support it, while old perf binaries will not look for it (and
thus will not be broken).

Currently the max value of format is calculated by the bits number. It
relies on the continuity of the format.
However, uncore event format is not continuous. E.g. uncore qpi event
format can be 0-7,21.
If bit 21 is set, there is parsing issues as below.
$ perf stat -a -e uncore_qpi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/
event syntax error: '..pi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/'
\___ value too big for format, maximum is 511
This patch return the real max value by setting all possible bits to 1.

Ingo reported regression on display format of big numbers, which is
missing separators (in default perf stat output).
triton:~/tip> perf stat -a sleep 1

279538533 stalled-cycles-frontend # 220.09% frontend cycles idle
119213269 instructions # 0.94 insn per cycle
This is caused by recent change:
perf stat: Check existence of frontend/backed stalled cycles
that added call to pmu_have_event, that subsequently calls
perf_pmu__parse_scale, which has a bug in locale handling.
The lc string returned from setlocale, that we use to store old locale
value, may be allocated in static storage. Getting a dynamic copy to
make it survive another setlocale call.
$ perf stat ls

Committer note:
Since the patch introducing the regression didn't made to perf/core,
move it to just before where the regression was introduced, so that we
don't break bisection for this feature.

When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete
parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf
on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as
.scale or .per-pkg).
Continue when some attribute is unparseable.
This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older
versions to avoid problems with newer kernels.

This patch fixes a bug in __perf_pmu__new_alias() whereby the
alias->snapshot field was not initialized to false. This led to random
alias->snapshot value for an alias and was breaking some measurements
such as:
$ perf stat -a -e uncore_imc/data_reads/ -I 1000 sleep 100
Because the event ended up being treated as snapshot mode, when it is
not.

But the code printing such PMUs was not honouring the 'event_glob'

Currently the value of a PMU config term is silently truncated if it is
too big. This is an impediment to validating the value for other
criteria later on i.e. the user provides an invalid value that gets
truncated to a valid one.
The maximum value validation is only done for the parser where the error
is passed back to the user. In other cases the silent truncation
continues so as not to affect tools that perhaps rely on it.

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.
One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.

The <fd979c013207> commit intruduced the perf_event_sysfs_show function
to display the event_str value of an attr in kernel/event/core.c. But
the function returns the value with a newline char.
So, if a event also carries a event.unit file, when printing the counter
data perf tool formatting goes for a spin.
That is, because of the event unit, event name is printed in the newline
because of perf_event_sysfs_show returns with a newline char.
Now fixing perf core will break API, hencing proposing a fix in the perf tool.
