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 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:

- Add Intel RAPL energy counter support (Stephane Eranian)
- Clean up uprobes (Oleg Nesterov)
- Optimize ring-buffer writes (Peter Zijlstra)

Tooling side changes, user visible:

- 'perf diff':
- Add column colouring improvements (Ramkumar Ramachandra)

- 'perf kvm':
- Add guest related improvements, including allowing to specify a
directory with guest specific /proc information (Dongsheng Yang)
- Add shell completion support (Ramkumar Ramachandra)
- Add '-v' option (Dongsheng Yang)
- Support --guestmount (Dongsheng Yang)

- 'perf probe':
- Support showing source code, asking for variables to be collected
at probe time and other 'perf probe' operations that use DWARF
information.

This supports only binaries with debugging information at this
time, detached debuginfo (aka debuginfo packages) support should
come in later patches (Masami Hiramatsu)

- 'perf record':
- Rename --no-delay option to --no-buffering, better reflecting its
purpose and freeing up '--delay' to take the place of
'--initial-delay', so that 'record' and 'stat' are consistent
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Default the -t/--thread option to no inheritance (Adrian Hunter)
- Make per-cpu mmaps the default (Adrian Hunter)

- 'perf report':
- Improve callchain processing performance (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Retain bfd reference to lookup source line numbers, greatly
optimizing, among other use cases, 'perf report -s srcline'
(Adrian Hunter)
- Improve callchain processing performance even more (Namhyung Kim)
- Add a perf.data file header window in the 'perf report' TUI,
associated with the 'i' hotkey, providing a counterpart to the
--header option in the stdio UI (Namhyung Kim)

- 'perf script':
- Add an option in 'perf script' to print the source line number
(Adrian Hunter)
- Add --header/--header-only options to 'script' and 'report', the
default is not tho show the header info, but as this has been the
default for some time, leave a single line explaining how to
obtain that information (Jiri Olsa)
- Add options to show comm, fork, exit and mmap PERF_RECORD_ events
(Namhyung Kim)
- Print callchains and symbols if they exist (David Ahern)

- 'perf timechart'
- Add backtrace support to CPU info
- Print pid along the name
- Add support for CPU topology
- Add new option --highlight'ing threads, be it by name or, if a
numeric value is provided, that run more than given duration
(Stanislav Fomichev)

- 'perf top':
- Make 'perf top -g' refer to callchains, for consistency with
other tools (David Ahern)

- 'perf trace':
- Handle old kernels where the "raw_syscalls" tracepoints were
called plain "syscalls" (David Ahern)
- Remove thread summary coloring, by Pekka Enberg.
- Honour -m option in 'trace', the tool was offering the option to
set the mmap size, but wasn't using it when doing the actual mmap
on the events file descriptors (Jiri Olsa)

- generic:
- Backport libtraceevent plugin support (trace-cmd repository, with
plugins for jbd2, hrtimer, kmem, kvm, mac80211, sched_switch,
function, xen, scsi, cfg80211 (Jiri Olsa)
- Print session information only if --stdio is given (Namhyung Kim)

Tooling side changes, developer visible (plumbing):

- Improve 'perf probe' exit path, release resources (Masami
Hiramatsu)
- Improve libtraceevent plugins exit path, allowing the registering
of an unregister handler to be called at exit time (Namhyung Kim)
- Add an alias to the build test makefile (make -C tools/perf
build-test) (Namhyung Kim)
- Get rid of die() and friends (good riddance!) in libtraceevent
(Namhyung Kim)
- Fix cross build problems related to pkgconfig and CROSS_COMPILE not
being propagated to the feature tests, leading to features being
tested in the host and then being enabled on the target (Mark
Rutland)
- Improve forked workload error reporting by sending the errno in the
signal data queueing integer field, using sigqueue and by doing the
signal setup in the evlist methods, removing open coded equivalents
in various tools (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Do more auto exit cleanup chores in the 'evlist' destructor, so
that the tools don't have to all do that sequence (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
- Pack 'struct perf_session_env' and 'struct trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
- Add test for building detached source tarballs (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- Move some header files (tools/perf/ to tools/include/ to make them
available to other tools/ dwelling codebases (Namhyung Kim)
- Move logic to warn about kptr_restrict'ed kernels to separate
function in 'report' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Move hist browser selection code to separate function (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- Move histogram entries collapsing to separate function (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce evlist__for_each() & friends (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Automate setup of FEATURE_CHECK_(C|LD)FLAGS-all variables (Jiri
Olsa)
- Move arch setup into seprate Makefile (Jiri Olsa)
- Make libtraceevent install target quieter (Jiri Olsa)
- Make tests/make output more compact (Jiri Olsa)
- Ignore generated files in feature-checks (Chunwei Chen)
- Introduce pevent_filter_strerror() in libtraceevent, similar in
purpose to libc's strerror() function (Namhyung Kim)
- Use perf_data_file methods to write output file in 'record' and
'inject' (Jiri Olsa)
- Use pr_*() functions where applicable in 'report' (Namhyumg Kim)
- Add 'machine' 'addr_location' struct to have full picture (machine,
thread, map, symbol, addr) for a (partially) resolved address,
reducing function signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Reduce code duplication in the histogram entry creation/insertion
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Auto allocate annotation histogram data structures (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- No need to test against NULL before calling free, also set freed
memory in struct pointers to NULL, to help fixing use after free
bugs (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Rename some struct DSO binary_type related members and methods, to
clarify its purpose and need for differentiation (symtab_type, ie
one is about the files .text, CFI, etc, i.e. its binary contents,
and the other is about where the symbol table came from (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- Convert to new topic libraries, starting with an API one (sysfs,
debugfs, etc), renaming liblk in the process (Borislav Petkov)
- Get rid of some more panic() like error handling in libtraceevent.
(Namhyung Kim)
- Get rid of panic() like calls in libtraceevent (Namyung Kim)
- Start carving out symbol parsing routines (perf, just moving
routines to topic files in tools/lib/symbol/, tools that want to
use it need to integrate it directly, ie no
tools/lib/symbol/Makefile is provided (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Assorted refactoring patches, moving code around and adding utility
evlist methods that will be used in the IPT patchset (Adrian
Hunter)
- Assorted mmap_pages handling fixes (Adrian Hunter)
- Several man pages typo fixes (Dongsheng Yang)
- Get rid of several die() calls in libtraceevent (Namhyung Kim)
- Use basename() in a more robust way, to avoid problems related to
different system library implementations for that function
(Stephane Eranian)
- Remove open coded management of short_name_allocated member (Adrian
Hunter)
- Several cleanups in the "dso" methods, constifying some parameters
and renaming some fields to clarify its purpose (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
- Add per-feature check flags, fixing libunwind related build
problems on some architectures (Jean Pihet)
- Do not disable source line lookup just because of one failure.
(Adrian Hunter)
- Several 'perf kvm' man page corrections (Dongsheng Yang)
- Correct the message in feature-libnuma checking, swowing the right
devel package names for various distros (Dongsheng Yang)
- Polish 'readn()' function and introduce its counterpart,
'writen()' (Jiri Olsa)
- Start moving timechart state from global variables to a 'perf_tool'
derived 'timechart' struct (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
