Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.8-1-2024-01-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

"Add Namhyung Kim as tools/perf/ co-maintainer, we're taking turns
processing patches, switching roles from perf-tools to perf-tools-next
at each Linux release.

Data profiling:

- Associate samples that identify loads and stores with data
structures. This uses events available on Intel, AMD and others and
DWARF info:

# To get memory access samples in kernel for 1 second (on Intel)
$ perf mem record -a -K --ldlat=4 -- sleep 1

# Similar for the AMD (but it requires 6.3+ kernel for BPF filters)
$ perf mem record -a --filter 'mem_op == load || mem_op == store, ip > 0x8000000000000000' -- sleep 1

Then, amongst several modes of post processing, one can do things like:

$ perf report -s type,typeoff --hierarchy --group --stdio
...

This uses the existing annotate code, calling objdump to do the
disassembly, with improvements to avoid having this take too long,
but longer term a switch to a disassembler library, possibly
reusing code in the kernel will be pursued.

This is the initial implementation, please use it and report
impressions and bugs. Make sure the kernel-debuginfo packages match
the running kernel. The 'perf report' phase for non short perf.data
files may take a while.

There is a great article about it on LWN:

perf top/report:

- Don't ignore job control, allowing control+Z + bg to work.

- Add s390 raw data interpretation for PAI (Processor Activity
Instrumentation) counters.

perf archive:

- Add new option '--all' to pack perf.data with DSOs.

- Add new option '--unpack' to expand tarballs.

Initialization speedups:

- Lazily initialize zstd streams to save memory when not using it.

- Lazily allocate/size mmap event copy.

- Lazy load kernel symbols in 'perf record'.

- Be lazier in allocating lost samples buffer in 'perf record'.

- Don't synthesize BPF events when disabled via the command line
(perf record --no-bpf-event).

Assorted improvements:

- Show note on AMD systems that the :p, :pp, :ppp and :P are all the
same, as IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) is used and it is
inherentely precise, not having levels of precision like in Intel
systems.

- When 'cycles' isn't available, fall back to the "task-clock" event
when not system wide, not to 'cpu-clock'.

- Add --debug-file option to redirect debug output, e.g.:

$ perf --debug-file /tmp/perf.log record -v true

- Shrink 'struct map' to under one cacheline by avoiding function
pointers for selecting if addresses are identity or DSO relative,
and using just a byte for some boolean struct members.

- Resolve the arch specific strerrno just once to use in
perf_env__arch_strerrno().

- Reduce memory for recording PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES event.

Assorted fixes:

- Fix the default 'perf top' usage on Intel hybrid systems, now it
starts with a browser showing the number of samples for Efficiency
(cpu_atom/cycles/P) and Performance (cpu_core/cycles/P). This
behaviour is similar on ARM64, with its respective set of
big.LITTLE processors.

- Fix segfault on build_mem_topology() error path.

- Fix 'perf mem' error on hybrid related to availability of mem event
in a PMU.

- Fix missing reference count gets (map, maps) in the db-export code.

- Avoid recursively taking env->bpf_progs.lock in the 'perf_env'
code.

- Use the newly introduced maps__for_each_map() to add missing
locking around iteration of 'struct map' entries.

- Parse NOTE segments until the build id is found, don't stop on the
first one, ELF files may have several such NOTE segments.

- Remove 'egrep' usage, its deprecated, use 'grep -E' instead.

- Warn first about missing libelf, not libbpf, that depends on
libelf.

- Use alternative to 'find ... -printf' as this isn't supported in
busybox.

- Address python 3.6 DeprecationWarning for string scapes.

- Fix memory leak in uniq() in libsubcmd.

- Fix man page formatting for 'perf lock'

- Fix some spelling mistakes.

perf tests:

- Fail shell tests that needs some symbol in perf itself if it is
stripped. These tests check if a symbol is resolved, if some hot
function is indeed detected by profiling, etc.

- The 'perf test sigtrap' test is currently failing on PREEMPT_RT,
skip it if sleeping spinlocks are detected (using BTF) and point to
the mailing list discussion about it. This test is also being
skipped on several architectures (powerpc, s390x, arm and aarch64)
due to other pending issues with intruction breakpoints.

- Adjust test case perf record offcpu profiling tests for s390.

- Fix 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/VM guest,
addressing issues caused by the fallback from cycles to task-clock
done in this release.

- Fix mask for VG register in the user-regs test.

- Use shellcheck on 'perf test' shell scripts automatically to make
sure changes don't introduce things it flags as problematic.

- Add option to change objdump binary and allow it to be set via
'perf config'.

- Add basic 'perf script', 'perf list --json" and 'perf diff' tests.

- Basic branch counter support.

- Make DSO tests a suite rather than individual.

- Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures.

- Fix call chain match on powerpc for the record+probe_libc_inet_pton
test.

- Improve Intel hybrid tests.

Vendor event files (JSON):

powerpc:

- Update datasource event name to fix duplicate events on IBM's
Power10.

ARM64:

- Remove UTF-8 characters from cmn.json, that were causing build
failure in some distros.

- Add core PMU events and metrics for Ampere One X.

- Rename Ampere One's BPU_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT to GPC_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT

libperf:

- Rename several perf_cpu_map constructor names to clarify what they
really do.

- Ditto for some other methods, coping with some issues in their
semantics, like perf_cpu_map__empty() ->
perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty().

- Document perf_cpu_map__nr()'s behavior

perf stat:

- Exit if parse groups fails.

- Combine the -A/--no-aggr and --no-merge options.

- Fix help message for --metric-no-threshold option.

Hardware tracing:

ARM64 CoreSight:

- Bump minimum OpenCSD version to ensure a bugfix is present.

- Add 'T' itrace option for timestamp trace

- Set start vm addr of exectable file to 0 and don't ignore first
sample on the arm-cs-trace-disasm.py 'perf script'"

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.7-1-2023-11-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Build:

- Compile BPF programs by default if clang (>= 12.0.1) is available
to enable more features like kernel lock contention, off-cpu
profiling, kwork, sample filtering and so on.

This can be disabled by passing BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 to make.

- Produce better error messages for bison on debug build (make
DEBUG=1) by defining YYDEBUG symbol internally.

perf record:

- Track sideband events (like FORK/MMAP) from all CPUs even if perf
record targets a subset of CPUs only (using -C option). Otherwise
it may lose some information happened on a CPU out of the target
list.

- Fix checking raw sched_switch tracepoint argument using system BTF.
This affects off-cpu profiling which attaches a BPF program to the
raw tracepoint.

perf lock contention:

- Add --lock-cgroup option to see contention by cgroups. This should
be used with BPF only (using -b option).

$ sudo perf lock con -ab --lock-cgroup -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait cgroup

835 14.06 ms 41.19 us 16.83 us /system.slice/led.service
25 122.38 us 13.77 us 4.89 us /
44 23.73 us 3.87 us 539 ns /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope
1 491 ns 491 ns 491 ns /system.slice/connectd.service

- Add -G/--cgroup-filter option to see contention only for given
cgroups.

This can be useful when you identified a cgroup in the above
command and want to investigate more on it. It also works with
other output options like -t/--threads and -l/--lock-addr.

$ sudo perf lock con -ab -G /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

8 77.11 us 17.98 us 9.64 us spinlock futex_wake+0xc8
2 24.56 us 14.66 us 12.28 us spinlock tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
1 4.97 us 4.97 us 4.97 us spinlock futex_q_lock+0x2a

- Use per-cpu array for better spinlock tracking. This is to improve
performance of the BPF program and to avoid nested contention on a
lock in the BPF hash map.

- Update callstack check for PowerPC. To find a representative caller
of a lock, it needs to look up the call stacks. It ends the lookup
when it sees 0 in the call stack buffer. However, PowerPC call
stacks can have 0 values in the beginning so skip them when it
expects valid call stacks after.

perf kwork:

- Support 'sched' class (for -k option) so that it can see task
scheduling event (using sched_switch tracepoint) as well as irq and
workqueue items.

- Add perf kwork top subcommand to show more accurate cpu utilization
with sched class above. It works both with a recorded data (using
perf kwork record command) and BPF (using -b option). Unlike perf
top command, it does not support interactive mode (yet).

$ sudo perf kwork top -b -k sched

- Add hard/soft-irq statistics to perf kwork top. This will show the
total CPU utilization with IRQ stats like below:

$ sudo perf kwork top -b -k sched,irq,softirq
Starting trace, Hit <Ctrl+C> to stop and report
^C
Total : 12554.889 ms, 8 cpus
%Cpu(s): 96.23% id, 0.10% hi, 0.19% si <---- here
%Cpu0 [| 4.60%]
%Cpu1 [| 4.59%]
%Cpu2 [ 2.73%]
%Cpu3 [| 3.81%]

perf bench:

- Add -G/--cgroups option to perf bench sched pipe. The pipe bench is
good to measure context switch overhead. With this option, it puts
the reader and writer tasks in separate cgroups to enforce context
switch between two different cgroups.

Also it needs to set CPU affinity of the tasks in a CPU to
accurately measure the impact of cgroup context switches.

$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 0.307 [sec]

3.078180 usecs/op
324867 ops/sec

Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000':

200,026 context-switches
63 cgroup-switches

0.321637922 seconds time elapsed

You can see small number of cgroup-switches because both write and
read tasks are in the same cgroup.

$ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/{AAA,BBB}

$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 0.351 [sec]

3.512990 usecs/op
284657 ops/sec

Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB':

200,020 context-switches
200,019 cgroup-switches

0.365034567 seconds time elapsed

Now context-switches and cgroup-switches are almost same. And you
can see the pipe operation took little more.

- Kill child processes when perf bench sched messaging exited
abnormally. Otherwise it'd leave the child doing unnecessary work.

perf test:

- Fix various shellcheck issues on the tests written in shell script.

- Skip tests when condition is not satisfied:
- object code reading test for non-text section addresses.
- CoreSight test if cs_etm// event is not available.
- lock contention test if not enough CPUs.

Event parsing:

- Make PMU alias name loading lazy to reduce the startup time in the
event parsing code for perf record, stat and others in the general
case.

- Lazily compute PMU default config. In the same sense, delay PMU
initialization until it's really needed to reduce the startup cost.

- Fix event term values that are raw events. The event specification
can have several terms including event name. But sometimes it
clashes with raw event encoding which starts with 'r' and has
hex-digits.

For example, an event named 'read' should be processed as a normal
event but it was mis-treated as a raw encoding and caused a
failure.

$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

Event metrics:

- Add "Compat" regex to match event with multiple identifiers.

- Usual updates for Intel, Power10, Arm telemetry/CMN and AmpereOne.

Misc:

- Assorted memory leak fixes and footprint reduction.

- Add "bpf_skeletons" to perf version --build-options so that users
can check whether their perf tools have BPF support easily.

- Fix unaligned access in Intel-PT packet decoder found by
undefined-behavior sanitizer.

- Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event. Surprisingly it'd impact
kernel timer tick handler performance by force iterating all PMU
events.

- Update bash shell completion for events and metrics"
