Wang Nan 597bdeb4ab perf test: Keep test result clean if '-v' not set
According to [1], 'perf test' should avoid output too much information
if '-v' is not set, only 'Ok', 'FAIL' or 'Skip' need to be printed.

This patch removes several messages sent directly to stderr to make
the output clean.

Before this patch:

  # perf test dummy
  23: Test using a dummy software event to keep tracking       : (not supported) Ok

After this patch:

  # perf test dummy
  23: Test using a dummy software event to keep tracking       : Skip

Rabin Vincent 7ed4915ad6 perf unwind: Pass symbol source to libunwind
Even if --symfs is used to point to the debug binaries, we send in the
non-debug filenames to libunwind, which leads to libunwind not finding
the debug frame.  Fix this by preferring the file in --symfs, if it is
available.

Rabin Vincent 3af6ed84eb tools build: Fix libiberty feature detection
Any CFLAGS or LDFLAGS set by the user need to be passed to the feature
build command.  This many include for example -I or -L to point to
libraries and include files in custom paths.

In most of the test-*.bin rules in build/feature/Makefile, we use the BUILD
macro which always sends in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.  The libiberty build line
however doesn't use the BUILD macro and thus needs to send in CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS explicitly.  Without this, when using custom CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, libiberty
fails to be detected and the perf link fails with something like:

   LINK     perf
  libbfd.a(bfd.o): In function `bfd_errmsg':
  bfd.c:(.text+0x168): undefined reference to `xstrerror'
  bbfd.a(opncls.o): In function `_bfd_new_bfd':
  opncls.c:(.text+0xe8): undefined reference to `objalloc_create'

Wang Nan d509db0473 perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event
This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
    is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
    in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

 # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

Wang Nan 1f45b1d490 perf bpf: Attach eBPF filter to perf event
This is the final patch which makes basic BPF filter work. After
applying this patch, users are allowed to use BPF filter like:

 # perf record --event ./hello_world.o ls

A bpf_fd field is appended to 'struct evsel', and setup during the
callback function add_bpf_event() for each 'probe_trace_event'.

PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF program to a newly
created perf event. The file descriptor of the eBPF program is passed to
perf record using previous patches, and stored into evsel->bpf_fd.

It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe
events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the ioctl,
EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error.

Committer note:

The bpf proggie used so far:

  __attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used))
  int fork(void *ctx)
  {
	  return 0;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;

failed to produce any samples, even with forks happening and it being
running in system wide mode.

That is because now the filter is being associated, and the code above
always returns zero, meaning that all forks will be probed but filtered
away ;-/

Change it to 'return 1;' instead and after that:

  # trace --no-syscalls --event /tmp/foo.o
     0.000 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     2.333 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     3.725 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     4.550 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
  ^C#

And it works with all tools, including 'perf trace'.

Stephane Eranian dc323ce8e7 perf script: Enable printing of branch stack
This patch improves perf script by enabling printing of the
branch stack via the 'brstack' and 'brstacksym' arguments to
the field selection option -F. The option is off by default
and operates only if the perf.data file has branch stack content.

The branches are printed in to/from pairs. The most recent branch
is printed first. The number of branch entries vary based on the
underlying hardware and filtering used.

The brstack prints FROM/TO addresses in raw hexadecimal format.
The brstacksym prints FROM/TO addresses in symbolic form wherever
possible.

 $ perf script -F ip,brstack
  5d3000 0x401aa0/0x5d2000/M/-/-/-/0 ...

 $ perf script -F ip,brstacksym
  4011e0 noploop+0x0/noploop+0x0/P/-/-/0

The notation F/T/M/X/A/C describes the attributes of the branch.
F=from, T=to, M/P=misprediction/prediction, X=TSX, A=TSX abort, C=cycles (SKL)

Wang Nan 4edf30e39e perf bpf: Collect perf_evsel in BPF object files
This patch creates a 'struct perf_evsel' for every probe in a BPF object
file(s) and fills 'struct evlist' with them. The previously introduced
dummy event is now removed. After this patch, the following command:

 # perf record --event filter.o ls

Can trace on each of the probes defined in filter.o.

The core of this patch is bpf__foreach_tev(), which calls a callback
function for each 'struct probe_trace_event' event for a bpf program
with each associated file descriptors. The add_bpf_event() callback
creates evsels by calling parse_events_add_tracepoint().

Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__foreach_tev() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid build errors.

Committer notes:

Before:

  # /tmp/oldperf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.198 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist
  /tmp/foo.o
  # perf evlist -v
  /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
  sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
  inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
  exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

I.e. we create just the PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1),
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY(config 0x9) event, now, with this patch:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.210 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist -v
  perf_bpf_probe:fork: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x6bd, { sample_period,
  sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1,
  inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest:
  1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  #

We now have a PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1), but the config states 0x6bd,
which is how, after setting up the event via the kprobes interface, the
'perf_bpf_probe:fork' event is accessible via the perf_event_open
syscall. This is all transient, as soon as the 'perf record' session
ends, these probes will go away.

To see how it looks like, lets try doing a neverending session, one that
expects a control+C to end:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a

So, with that in place, we can use 'perf probe' to see what is in place:

  # perf probe -l
    perf_bpf_probe:fork  (on _do_fork@acme/git/linux/kernel/fork.c)

We also can use debugfs:

  [root@felicio ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:perf_bpf_probe/fork _text+638512

Ok, now lets stop and see if we got some forks:

  [root@felicio linux]# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (111 samples) ]

  [root@felicio linux]# perf script
      sshd  1271 [003] 81797.507678: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
      sshd 18309 [000] 81797.524917: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
      sshd 18309 [001] 81799.381603: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
      sshd 18309 [001] 81799.408635: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
  <SNIP>

Sure enough, we have 111 forks :-)

Callchains seems to work as well:

  # perf report --stdio --no-child
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Wang Nan 1e5e3ee8ff perf tools: Load eBPF object into kernel
This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all
objects into kernel.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your
eBPF proggie:

  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;

For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event
parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
  libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
  libbpf:

  libbpf: -- END LOG --
  libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
  libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'
  event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
                       \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+
kernel, the whole process goes thru:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.202 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist -v
  /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
  sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
  inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
  exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

Wang Nan aa3abf30bb perf tools: Create probe points for BPF programs
This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the
section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event'
is stored into program private data for further using.

By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during
event parsing.

To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so
even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing
points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before
bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger
bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed.

strerror style error reporting scaffold is created by this patch.
bpf__strerror_probe() is the first error reporting function in
bpf-loader.c.

Committer note:

Trying it:

To build a test eBPF object file:

I am testing using a script I built from the 'perf test -v LLVM' output:

  $ cat ~/bin/hello-ebpf
  export KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS="-nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.3/include -I/home/acme/git/linux/arch/x86/include -Iarch/x86/include/generated/uapi -Iarch/x86/include/generated -I/home/acme/git/linux/include -Iinclude -I/home/acme/git/linux/arch/x86/include/uapi -Iarch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I/home/acme/git/linux/include/uapi -Iinclude/generated/uapi -include /home/acme/git/linux/include/linux/kconfig.h"
  export WORKING_DIR=/lib/modules/4.2.0/build
  export CLANG_SOURCE=-
  export CLANG_OPTIONS=-xc

  OBJ=/tmp/foo.o
  rm -f $OBJ
  echo '__attribute__((section("fork=do_fork"), used)) int fork(void *ctx) {return 0;} char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;' | \

 ---

First asking to put a probe in a function not present in the kernel
(misses the initial _):

  $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  Probe point 'do_fork' not found.
  event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
                       \___ You need to check probing points in BPF file

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  $

 ---

Now, with "__attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used)):

 $ grep _do_fork /proc/kallsyms
 ffffffff81099ab0 T _do_fork
 $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
 Failed to open kprobe_events: Permission denied
 event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
                      \___ Permission denied

 ---

Cool, we need to provide some better hints, "kprobe_events" is too low
level, one doesn't strictly need to know the precise details of how
these things are put in place, so something that shows the command
needed to fix the permissions would be more helpful.

Lets try as root instead:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  Lowering default frequency rate to 1000.
  Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

Wang Nan 84c86ca12b perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event
By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.

After applying this patch, commands like:

 # perf record --event foo.o sleep

become possible.

However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the
evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program
attaching have not been implemented.  Before real events are possible to
be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list,
this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be
removed when probing and extracting code is ready.

Commiter notes:

Wang Nan ed63f34c02 perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf
By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build
libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.

The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.

MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.

Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.

The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.

Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.

tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

Jiri Olsa 443f8c75e8 perf symbols: Fix endless loop in dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore
Currently we split symbols based on the map comparison, but symbols are stored
within dso objects and maps could point into same dso objects (kernel maps).

Hence we could end up changing rbtree we are currently iterating and mess it
up. It's easily reproduced on s390x by running:

  $ perf record -a -- sleep 3
  $ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits

The fix is to compare dso objects instead.

Wang Nan 374ce938aa perf tools: Enable pre-event inherit setting by config terms
This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by
config terms like:

  # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ...
  # perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ...

So user can control inherit bit for each event separately.

In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex
CPU intensive computations in both of its children.

Basic result with and without inherit:

  # perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ]
  # perf report --stdio
  # ...
  # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 23641752891
  ...
  # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 30428312415

  # perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 11699501775
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 15058023559

Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable:

  # perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/'
  # Event count (approx.): 11895759282
 ...
  # Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 30668000441

Enable inherit for one event when globally disable:

  # perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
  [ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ]
  ...
  # Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/'
  # Event count (approx.): 23285400229
  ...
  # Samples: 11K of event 'instructions'
  # Event count (approx.): 14969050259

Committer note:

One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in
the perf.data file size as above by doing one of:

  # perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using
--no-inherit:

  # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1

No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event:

  # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.909 MB perf.data (48 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles/inherit/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

We can see it as well in by using a more verbose level of debug messages in
the tool that sets up the perf_event_attr, 'perf record' in this case:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf record -vv --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1

Dima Kogan 5baecbcd9c perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files based on a build ID
Recent GDB (at least on a vanilla Debian box) looks for debug information in

  /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/nn/nnnnnnn

where nn/nnnnnn is the build-id of the stripped ELF binary. This is
documented here:

  https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html

This was not working in perf because we didn't read the build id until
AFTER we searched for the separate debug information file. This patch
reads the build ID and THEN does the search.

Recently 'perf <tool> -h' was made aware of arguments and would show

  $ perf -h tui

didn't.

matches, so that he following examples works:

  $ perf report -h interface

    --gtk    Use the GTK2 interface
    --stdio  Use the stdio interface
    --tui    Use the TUI interface

  $ perf report -h stack

                      sort_key[,branch]>
      Display call graph (stack chain/backtrace):

        sort_key:    call graph sort key (function|address)

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 161d904178 perf tools: Provide help for subset of options
Some tools have a lot of options, so, providing a way to show help just
for some of them may come handy:

  $ perf report -h --tui

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

        --tui             Use the TUI interface

  $ perf report -h --tui --showcpuutilization -b -c

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

    -b, --branch-stack    use branch records for per branch histogram filling
    -c, --comms <comm[,comm...]>
                          only consider symbols in these comms
        --showcpuutilization
                          Show sample percentage for different cpu modes
        --tui             Use the TUI interface

  $

Using it with perf bash completion is also handy, just make sure you
source the needed file:

  $ . ~/git/linux/tools/perf/perf-completion.sh

Then press tab/tab after -- to see a list of options, put them after -h
and only the options chosen will have its help presented:

  $ perf report -h --
  --asm-raw              --demangle-kernel      --group
  --kallsyms             --pretty               --stdio
  --branch-history       --disassembler-style   --gtk
  --max-stack            --showcpuutilization   --symbol-filter

  --pid                  --source               --vmlinux
  $ perf report -h --socket-filter

   Usage: perf report [<options>]

      --socket-filter <n>
                  only show processor socket that match with this filter

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f06cff7c59 perf annotate: Don't die() when finding an invalid config option
The perf_config() infrastructure we inherited from git calls die() when
the provided config callback returns -1, meaning some key in a config
section is unexpected, that seems ok for a stdio based tool, but in
--tui we end up messing up the output, so just tell the user about the
error, wait for a keystroke and return 0, being more resilient and
proceeding with what we managed to parse.

That die() needs to die, tho :-)

				default: 8192 (bytes)
		print_type:	call graph printing style (graph|flat|fractal|none)
		threshold:	minimum call graph inclusion threshold (<percent>)
		print_limit:	maximum number of call graph entry (<number>)
		order:		call graph order (caller|callee)
		sort_key:	call graph sort key (function|address)

The caller callchain order is useful with --children option since it can
show 'overview' style output, but other commands which don't use
--children feature like 'perf script' or even 'perf report/top' without
--children are better to keep callee order.

Currently 'perf top --call-graph' option is same as 'perf record'.  But
'perf top' also need to receive display options in 'perf report'.  To do

Now perf top can receive display options like below:

  $ perf top --call-graph
    Error: option `call-graph' requires a value

   Usage: perf top [<options>]

        --call-graph
          <mode[,dump_size],output_type,min_percent[,print_limit],call_order[,branch]>

		     fractal, or none), min percent threshold, optional
		     print limit, callchain order, key (function or

Commits such as 65dd297ac2 ("xfs: %pF is only for function
pointers") caused a regression because pretty_print() didn't support
%ps/%pS.  The current %pf/%pF implementation in pretty_print() is what
%ps/%pS is supposed to do, so use the same code for %ps/%pS.

Addressing the incorrect %pf/%pF implementation is beyond the scope of
this patch.

Kan Liang bc1d03687b perf cpu_map: Fix core dump caused by per-socket/core system-wide stat
Perf will core dump if --per-socket/core -a are applied for perf stat.

The root cause is that cpu_map__build_map set refcnt of evlist's cpu_map
to 1.  It should set refcnt for the newly created cpu_map, not evlist's
cpu_map.

Here is the example:

  # perf stat -e cycles --per-socket -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  S0       36         30,196,257      cycles
  S1       28         15,823,536      cycles

       1.001126828 seconds time elapsed

Stephane Eranian 43e41adc9e perf record: Add ability to sample call branches
This patch add a new branch type sampling filter to perf record.
It is named 'call' and maps to PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. It samples
direct call branches only, unlike 'any_call' which includes indirect
calls as well.

 $ perf record -j call -e cycles .....

The man page is updated accordingly.
