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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:

- Intel Knights Landing support. (Harish Chegondi)

- Intel Broadwell-EP uncore PMU support. (Kan Liang)

- Core code improvements. (Peter Zijlstra.)

- Event filter, LBR and PEBS fixes. (Stephane Eranian)

- Enable cycles:pp on Intel Atom. (Stephane Eranian)

- Add cycles:ppp support for Skylake. (Andi Kleen)

- Various x86 NMI overhead optimizations. (Andi Kleen)

- Intel PT enhancements. (Takao Indoh)

- AMD cache events fix. (Vince Weaver)

Tons of tooling changes:

- Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line
(Namhyung Kim)

- perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has
grouped events, try it with:

# perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ]
# perf report
# Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }'
# Event count (approx.): 1955219195

- Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:

Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.

Simple example:

$ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

1,134,996 cycles

0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat report

Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':

1,134,996 cycles

0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

$

It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:

$ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
-1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
[acme@ssdandy linux]$

An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.

- Make command line options always available, even when they depend
on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
options (Wang Nan)

- Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)

- Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
(Russell King)

- Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read. (Taeung
Song)

- Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
Nan)

- BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)

Testing some of these new BPF features:

Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
kernel, at arbitrary place.

#

- Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
explodes, please tell us!

- Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

E.g:

# perf report | grep -v ^# | head
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
|
---cpu_startup_entry
|
|--12.07%--start_secondary
|
--6.30%--rest_init
start_kernel
x86_64_start_reservations
x86_64_start_kernel
#

Becomes, in "folded" mode:

# perf report -g folded | grep -v ^# | head -5
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
12.07% cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
6.30% cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
16.90% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] call_cpuidle

the first column.

ASoC: Fixes for v4.4

Quite a large batch of fixes have come in since the merge window, mainly
driver specific ones but there's a couple of core ones:

- A fix for DAPM resume on active streams to ensure everything ends up
cleanly in the right state.
- Reset the DAPM cache when freeing widgets to fix a crash on driver
remove and reload.

The PM functions for nau8825 are new code which fix crashes on resume.

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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:

- Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock on x86. (Adrian Hunter)

- Intel DS and BTS updates. (Alexander Shishkin)

- Intel cstate PMU support. (Kan Liang)

- Add group read support to perf_event_read(). (Peter Zijlstra)

- Branch call hardware sampling support, implemented on x86 and
PowerPC. (Stephane Eranian)

- Event groups transactional interface enhancements. (Sukadev
Bhattiprolu)

- Enable proper x86/intel/uncore PMU support on multi-segment PCI
systems. (Taku Izumi)

- ... misc fixes and cleanups.

The perf tooling team was very busy again with 200+ commits, the full
diff doesn't fit into lkml size limits. Here's an (incomplete) list
of the tooling highlights:

New features:

- Change the default event used in all tools (record/top): use the
most precise "cycles" hw counter available, i.e. when the user
doesn't specify any event, it will try using cycles:ppp, cycles:pp,
etc and fall back transparently until it finds a working counter.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Integration of perf with eBPF that, given an eBPF .c source file
(or .o file built for the 'bpf' target with clang), will get it
automatically built, validated and loaded into the kernel via the
sys_bpf syscall, which can then be used and seen using 'perf trace'
and other tools.

(Wang Nan)

Various user interface improvements:

- Automatic pager invocation on long help output. (Namhyung Kim)

- Search for more options when passing args to -h, e.g.: (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)

$ perf report -h interface

Usage: perf report [<options>]

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

- Show ordered command line options when -h is used or when an
unknown option is specified. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- If options are passed after -h, show just its descriptions, not all
options. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Implement column based horizontal scrolling in the hists browser
(top, report), making it possible to use the TUI for things like
'perf mem report' where there are many more columns than can fit in
a terminal. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:

$ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Now we get the much nicer:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ can't access trace events

Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'

And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint

Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.

I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)

- Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint,
i.e. '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper
error message about that not being a valid event, but '-e
non:existent*' wasn't, fix it. (Jiri Olsa)

- Do event name substring search as last resort in 'perf list'.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

E.g.:

# perf list clock

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

cpu-clock [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]

uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_cbox_1/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]

kvm:kvm_pvclock_update [Tracepoint event]
kvm:kvm_update_master_clock [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_disable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_enable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_set_rate [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]

Intel PT hardware tracing enhancements:

- Accept a zero --itrace period, meaning "as often as possible". In
the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit
of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i). (Adrian Hunter)

- Harmonize itrace's synthesized callchains with the existing
--max-stack tool option. (Adrian Hunter)

- Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds in 'perf script'.
(Adrian Hunter)

- Fix potential infinite loop when handling Intel PT timestamps.
(Adrian Hunter)

- Slighly improve Intel PT debug logging. (Adrian Hunter)

- Warn when AUX data has been lost, just like when processing
PERF_RECORD_LOST. (Adrian Hunter)

- Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter)

- Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian
Hunter)

Misc notable changes:

- Switch the default callchain output mode to 'graph,0.5,caller', to
make it look like the default for other tools, reducing the
learning curve for people used to 'caller' based viewing. (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)

- various call chain usability enhancements. (Namhyung Kim)

- Introduce the 'P' event modifier, meaning 'max precision level,
please', i.e.:

$ perf record -e cycles:P usleep 1

Is now similar to:

$ perf record usleep 1

Useful, for instance, when specifying multiple events. (Jiri Olsa)

- Add 'socket' sort entry, to sort by the processor socket in 'perf
top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)

- Introduce --socket-filter to 'perf report', for filtering by
processor socket. (Kan Liang)

- Add new "Zoom into Processor Socket" operation in the perf hists
browser, used in 'perf top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)

- Allow probing on kmodules without DWARF. (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Fix 'perf probe -l' for probes added to kernel module functions.
(Masami Hiramatsu)

- Preparatory work for the 'perf stat record' feature that will allow
generating perf.data files with counting data in addition to the
sampling mode we have now (Jiri Olsa)

- Update libtraceevent KVM plugin. (Paolo Bonzini)

- ... plus lots of other enhancements that I failed to list properly,

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Accept a zero --itrace period, meaning "as often as possible". In the case
of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit of 'instructions'
(i.e. --itrace=i1i). (Adrian Hunter)

- Harmonize itrace's synthesized callchains with the existing --max-stack
tool option. (Adrian Hunter)

- Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds in 'perf script'. (Adrian Hunter)

- Fix potential infinite loop when handling Intel PT timestamps. (Adrian Hunter)

- Slighly improve Intel PT debug logging. (Adrian Hunter)

- Warn when AUX data has been lost, just like when processing PERF_RECORD_LOST.
(Adrian Hunter)

- Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter)

- Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian Hunter)

- Use equivalent logic to avoid using dso->kernel. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Show proper error messages when parsing bad terms for hw/sw events. (He Kuang)

- Tracepoint event parsing improvements. (He Kuang)

- Store tracing mountpoint for better error message. (Jiri Olsa)

- Add fixdep to tools/build, bringing it closer to the kernel counterpart, from
where it is being lifted. (Jiri Olsa)

tools build: Add fixdep dependency helper

For dependency tracking we currently use targets that fall out of the
gcc -MD command. We store this info in the .cmd file and include as
makefile during the build.

This format put object as target and all the c and header files as
dependencies, like:

util/abspath.o: util/abspath.c /usr/include/stdc-predef.h util/cache.h \
/usr/include/bits/wordsize.h /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \
...

If any of those dependency header files (krava.h below) is removed the
build fails on:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'krava.h', needed by 'inc.o'. Stop.

This patch adds fixdep helper, that is used by kbuild to alter the shape
of the object dependencies like:

source_util/abspath.o := util/abspath.c

deps_util/abspath.o := \
/usr/include/stdc-predef.h \
util/cache.h \
...

util/abspath.o: $(deps_util/abspath.o)

$(deps_util/abspath.o):

With this format the header removal won't make the build fail, because
it'll be picked up by the last empty target defined for each header.

As previously mentioned the fixdep tool is taken from kbuild. It's not
complete backport, only the part that alters the standard dependency
info was taken, the part that adds the CONFIG_* dependency logic will be
probably taken later on.
