We don't need the callchains at the syscall enter tracepoint, just when
finishing it at syscall exit, so reduce the overhead by asking for
callchains just at syscall exit.

The rename is for consistency with the parameter name.
Make it public for fine grained control of which evsels should have
callchains enabled, like, for instance, will be done in the next
changesets in 'perf trace', to enable callchains just on the
"raw_syscalls:sys_exit" tracepoint.

Now, one can print the call chain for every encountered sys_exit event,
e.g.:
$ perf trace -e nanosleep --call-graph dwarf path/to/ex_sleep
1005.757 (1000.090 ms): ex_sleep/13167 nanosleep(...) = 0
syscall_slow_exit_work ([kernel.kallsyms])
syscall_return_slowpath ([kernel.kallsyms])
int_ret_from_sys_call ([kernel.kallsyms])
__nanosleep (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
[unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
QThread::sleep (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
main (path/to/ex_sleep)
__libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
_start (path/to/ex_sleep)
Note that it is advised to increase the number of mmap pages to prevent
event losses when using this new feature. Often, adding `-m 10M` to the
`perf trace` invocation is enough.
This feature is also available in strace when built with libunwind via
`strace -k`. Performance wise, this solution is much better:
$ time find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
real 0m0.051s
user 0m0.013s
sys 0m0.037s
$ time perf trace -m 800M --call-graph dwarf find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
real 0m2.624s
user 0m1.203s
sys 0m1.333s
$ time strace -k find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
real 0m35.398s
user 0m10.403s
sys 0m23.173s
Note that it is currently not possible to configure the print output.
Adding such a feature, similar to what is available in `perf script` via
its `--fields` knob can be added later on.

This patch allows cloning bpf-output event configuration among multiple
bpf scripts. If there exist a map named '__bpf_output__' and not
configured using 'map:__bpf_output__.event=', this patch clones the
configuration of another '__bpf_stdout__' map. For example, following
command:
# perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c usleep 100000
equals to:
# perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
--ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \

He Kuang reported a problem that perf fails to get correct symbol on
Android platform in [1]. The problem can be reproduced on normal x86_64
platform. I will describe the reproducing steps in detail at the end of
commit message.
The reason of this problem is the missing of symbol adjustment for normal
shared objects. In most of the cases skipping adjustment is okay. However,
when '.text' section have different 'address' and 'offset' the result is wrong.
I checked all shared objects in my working platform, only wine dll objects and
debug objects (in .debug) have this problem. However, it is common on Android.
For example:
$ readelf -S ./libsurfaceflinger.so | grep \.text
[10] .text PROGBITS 0000000000029030 00012030
This patch enables symbol adjustment for dynamic objects so the symbol
address got from elfutils would be adjusted correctly.
Now nearly all types of ELF files should adjust symbols. Makes
ss->adjust_symbols default to true.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
$ cat ./Makefile
PWD := $(shell pwd)
LDFLAGS += "-Wl,-rpath=$(PWD)"
CFLAGS += -g
main: main.c libbuggy.so
libbuggy.so: buggy.c
gcc -g -shared -fPIC -Wl,-Ttext-segment=0x200000 $< -o $@
clean:
rm -rf main libbuggy.so *.o
$ cat ./buggy.c
int fib(int x)
{
return (x == 0) ? 1 : (x == 1) ? 1 : fib(x - 1) + fib(x - 2);
}
$ cat ./main.c
#include <stdio.h>
extern int fib(int x);
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 40; i++)
printf("%d\n", fib(i));
return 0;
}
$ make
$ perf record ./main
...
$ perf report --stdio
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ...............................
#
14.97% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x000000000000066c
8.68% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x00000000000006aa
8.52% main libbuggy.so [.] fib@plt

5.35% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x0000000000000678

The correct result should be (after this patch):

In this patch, the offset of '.text' section is stored into dso
and used here to re-calculate address to objdump.
In most of the cases, executable code is in '.text' section, so the
adjustment made to a symbol in dso__load_sym (using
sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset) should equal to
'sym.st_value -= dso->text_offset'. Therefore, adding text_offset back
get objdump address from symbol address (rip). However, it is not true
for kernel and kernel module since there could be multiple executable
sections with different offset. Exclude kernel for this reason.
After this patch, even dso->adjust_symbols is set to true for shared
objects, map__rip_2objdump() and map__objdump_2mem() would return
correct result, so perf behavior of annotate won't be changed.

We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that
imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit
to get those new syscalls on its tables.
To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those
tables.
Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:
# trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
Error: Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd

We're using libaudit for doing name to id and id to syscall name
translations, but that makes 'perf trace' to have to wait for newer
libaudit versions supporting recently added syscalls, such as
"userfaultfd" at the time of this changeset.
We have all the information right there, in the kernel sources, so move
this code to a separate place, wrapped behind functions that will
progressively use the kernel source files to extract the syscall table
for use in 'perf trace'.

# perf stat -a -I 1000 -e cycles,"cpu/config=0x6530160,name=krava/" record | perf script -s test.py
^C
#
The reason is that 'perf script' does not process event update events and
will never get the event name update thus the python callback is never
called.
The fix is just to add already existing callback we use in 'perf stat
report'.

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.

Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC instead
of the monotonic clock. Use of TSC is selected by an environment
variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged in the jitdump file
with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP.

Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert
between TSC and perf time.
Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time
members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO
event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the
Intel PT decoder. However now the conversion between TSC and perf time
is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for
tracing.
So add a user event to record the time members. 'perf record' will
synthesize the event if the information is available. And session
processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools
like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

We catch this record to provide a visual indication that events are
getting lost, then call the default method to allow extra logging shared
with the other tools to take place.
This extra logging was done twice because we were continuing to the
"default" clause where machine__process_event() will end up calling
machine__process_lost_event() again, fix it.

Convert perf_output_begin() to __perf_output_begin() and make the later
function able to write records from the end of the ring-buffer.
Following commits will utilize the 'backward' flag.
This is the core patch to support writing to the ring-buffer backwards,
which will be introduced by upcoming patches to support reading from
overwritable ring-buffers.
In theory, this patch should not introduce any extra performance
overhead since we use always_inline, but it does not hurt to double
check that assumption:
When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is disabled, the output object is nearly
identical to original one. See:
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/56F52E83.70409@huawei.com
When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is enabled, the resuling object file becomes
smaller:
$ size kernel/events/ring_buffer.o*
text data bss dec hex filename
4641 4 8 4653 122d kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.old
4545 4 8 4557 11cd kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.new
Performance testing results:
Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check
duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture
system calls. In ns.
Testing environment:
CPU : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
Kernel : v4.5.0
MEAN STDVAR
BASE 800214.950 2853.083
PRE 2253846.700 9997.014
POST 2257495.540 8516.293
Where 'BASE' is pure performance without capturing. 'PRE' is test
result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'POST' is test result after this
patch.
Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't hurt performance, within
noise margin.

Set a default event->overflow_handler in perf_event_alloc() so don't
need to check event->overflow_handler in __perf_event_overflow().
Following commits can give a different default overflow_handler.
Initial idea comes from Peter:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130708121557.GA17211@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net
Since the default value of event->overflow_handler is not NULL, existing
'if (!overflow_handler)' checks need to be changed.
is_default_overflow_handler() is introduced for this.
No extra performance overhead is introduced into the hot path because in the
original code we still need to read this handler from memory. A conditional
branch is avoided so actually we remove some instructions.

Add new ioctl() to pause/resume ring-buffer output.
In some situations we want to read from the ring-buffer only when we
ensure nothing can write to the ring-buffer during reading. Without
this patch we have to turn off all events attached to this ring-buffer
to achieve this.
This patch is a prerequisite to enable overwrite support for the
perf ring-buffer support. Following commits will introduce new methods
support reading from overwrite ring buffer. Before reading, caller
must ensure the ring buffer is frozen, or the reading is unreliable.
