perf tools: fix a typo of a Power7 event name

In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.

perf tools: fix a typo of a Power7 event name

In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.

It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.

This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:

- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.

- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
(none are listed near the interface).

- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".

- These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable,
so hoping we have some wiggle room.

Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"There are lots of improvements, the biggest changes are:

Main kernel side changes:

- Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
Oleg Nesterov.

- Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

- tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
improvements.

- Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
Tony Luck.

- Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
Shin.

- This tracing commit:

tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events

changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...

Main tooling side changes:

- Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:

To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And
then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can
use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:

$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}

With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately.

You can use --group option to enable event group view:

$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time

As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of
group leader first.

- Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.

- Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.

- Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
Olsa.

- Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
Stephane Eranian.

- Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.

- 'perf test' improvements

- Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
Olsa.

- Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.

- perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
put in place by organizations such as Fedora.

- perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
snapshots, etc.

- perf top now supports DWARF callchains.

- Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.

- 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite

- ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
details."

$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}

With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately like this:

$ perf report
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 3K of event 'ref-cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3153797218
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe

# Samples: 3K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3722310525
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .........................
99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe

In this case the event group information will be shown in the end of
header area. So you can use --group option to enable event group view.

$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu
0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time
0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time

As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of group leader
first.

If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group
option does nothing. So if you want enable event group view by
default you can set it in ~/.perfconfig file:

$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[report]
group = true

It can be overridden with command line if you want:

$ perf report --no-group

perf: Document the ABI of perf sysfs entries

This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs for POWER architecture.

- perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event
- generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/

The format of the first file is already documented in:

sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format

Document the format of the second set of files '/sys/devices/cpu/events/*'
which would also become part of the ABI.

Changelog[v4]:
[Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified
in the 'events' file.
[Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file
as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'.
[Jiri Olsa]: Move ABI documentation from 'stable/' to 'testing/'

Changelog[v3]:
[Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
