We were relying on the info in pevent, but since we have it in
perf_evsel, set up by the perf_session routine if read from a perf.data
file or by whoever creates the evsels, use it.
New 'perf test' entries will use it to parse locally generated events,
in a non perf.data centered workflow.
As well as use byteswap.h to get per arch optimized swap routines, like
other parts of perf (header, perf_evsel__parse_sample, symbol, etc)
already do.

The existing constructor receives a perf_event_attr filled with the
event type and the config.
To reduce the boilerplate for tracepoints, provide a new constructor,
perf_evsel__newtp() that receives the tracepoint name and will open
the debugfs file, call into libtraceevent new pevent_parse_format file
to fill its ->tp_format member, so that users can then just call
perf_evsel__field() to access its fields.

It basically traverses the hardware and software event name arrays
creating an evlist with all events, then it uses perf_evsel__name to
check that the name is the expected one.
With it I noticed this problem:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test 10
10: roundtrip evsel->name check:invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
FAILED!
Changed it to "cpu-migrations" in the software event arrays and it
worked.
This is to catch problems like the one reported by Joel Uckelman in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.perf.user/1016
Hardware cache events will be checked in the following patch.

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.

This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code.
It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
'fp' - provides framepointer based user
stack backtrace
'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack
backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default.
If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument
becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option
in any case.
Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)
perf record -g dwarf ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size
perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size
perf record -g -- ls
perf record -g fp ls
- provides frame pointer unwind

The commit c410431cef ("perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers
from perf_event_attr") added the line, but it's broken since it needs to
go up 3 directories to get to the kernel root directory, not 2.
However host gcc contains /usr/local/include in its search path, so that
it can find the perf_event.h in /usr/include. This why we didn't notice
the problem yet. But when I tried to cross compile it appears like:
CC util/evsel.o
util/evsel.c:18:44: error: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [util/evsel.o] Error 1
Looking at the source, it isn't needed at all as evsel.h already
included the perf_event.h. So simply remove it would solve the problem.

We swap the sample_id_all header by u64 pointers. Some members of the
header happen to be 32 bit values. We need to handle them separatelly.
Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report
discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below,
e.g. following perf report diff:
...
0.12% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page
- 0.12% awk bash [.] alloc_word_desc
+ 0.12% awk bash [.] yyparse
0.11% beah-rhts-task libpython2.6.so.1.0 [.] 0x5560e
0.10% perf libc-2.12.so [.] __ctype_toupper_loc
- 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] maybe_make_export_env
+ 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] 0x385a0
0.09% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault
...
Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data
- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target
- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)
test 2)
- origin system:
# perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
- mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
- target system:
# perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
--kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
- complete perf.data header is displayed

More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix
for v3.5.

is used on more than one place in perf code and will be used more in
upcomming patches.
Adding union u64_swap to have it defined globaly so we dont need to
redefine it all the time.

764e16a changed perf-record to create events disabled by default and
enable them once perf initializations are done. This setting was dropped
by 0f82ebc. Now perf events are once again generated during perf's
initialization phase (e.g., generating maps).
As an example, perf opens a lot of files at startup. Unpatched:
perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.087 MB /tmp/perf.data (~3798 samples) ]
Using perf-script to look at the samples shows the perf command generating
563 of the 566 total events.
Patched:
perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.028 MB /tmp/perf.data (~1206 samples) ]
Using perf-script to look at the samples does not show perf command.

Rename perf_target__no_{cpu,task} to perf_target__has_{cpu,task} because
it's more intuitive and easy to parse (for human beings) when used with
negation.
The names are came out from David Ahern. It is intended to be a
mechanical substitution without any functional change.
The perf_target__none remains unchanged since I couldn't find a right

In perf_event__parse_sample(), the array variable was not incremented
by the amount of data used by the raw_data.
That was okay until we added PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK which depends on
the array variable pointing to the beginning of the branch stack data.
But that was not the case if branch stack was combined with raw mode
sampling. That led to bogus branch stack addresses and count.
The bug would show up with:
$ perf record -R -b foo
This patch fixes the problem by correctly moving the array pointer
forward for RAW samples.

The perf diff command is broken since:
perf hists: Threaded addition and sorting of entries
commit 1980c2ebd7
Several places were broken:
- hists data need to be collected into opened sessions instead
of into events
- session's hists data need to be initialized properly when the
session is created
- hist_entry__pcnt_snprintf: the percentage and displacement
buffer preparation must not use 'ret' because it's used
as a pointer to the final buffer

When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task/cpu
was specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec.
However they wouldn't be counted at all since only group leader will
be enabled on exec actually.
In contrast to perf stat, perf record doesn't have a real problem
as it enables all the event before proceeding. But it needs to be
fixed anyway IMHO.

This patch adds a new option to enable taken branch stack
sampling, i.e., leverage the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature
of perf_events.
There is a new option to active this mode: -b.
It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of
branches to sample.
The following filters are available:
- any : any type of branches
- any_call : any function call or system call
- any_ret : any function return or system call return
- any_ind : any indirect branch
- u: only when the branch target is at the user level
- k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
- hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor
Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list
to the option:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

Instead of requiring that users of perf_record_opts set
.sample_id_all_avail to true, just invert the logic, using
.sample_id_all_missing, that doesn't need to be explicitely initialized
since gcc will zero members ommitted in a struct initialization.
Just like the newly introduced .exclude_{guest,host} feature test.

This patch fixes an issue where perf report shows nan% for certain
perf.data files. The below is from a report for a do_fork probe:
-nan% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% packagekitd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% dbus-daemon [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
A git bisect shows commit f3bda2c as the cause. However, looking back
through the git history, I saw commit 640c03c which seems to have
removed the required initialization for perf_sample->period. The problem
only started showing after commit f3bda2c. The below patch re-introduces
the initialization and it fixes the problem for me.
With the below patch, for the same perf.data:
73.08% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
8.97% 11-dhclient [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
6.41% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
3.85% 20-chrony [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
2.56% sendmail [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork

The problem is that when SAMPLE_PERIOD is not set, the kernel generates
a number of samples in proportion to an event's period. Number of these
samples may be too big and the kernel throttles all samples above a
defined limit.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and in the second
case it wants to send 1386750 events. perf-reports shows that process
sleeps in both places equal time.
Instead of this we can get only one sample with an attribute period. As
result we have less data transferring between kernel and user-space and
we avoid throttling of samples.
The patch "events: Don't divide events if it has field period" added a
kernel part of this functionality.
