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

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Main perf kernel side changes:

- uprobes updates/fixes. (Oleg Nesterov)

- Add PERF_RECORD_SWITCH to indicate context switches and use it in
tooling. (Adrian Hunter)

- Support BPF programs attached to uprobes and first steps for BPF
tooling support. (Wang Nan)

- x86 Intel Broadwell-DE uncore support. (Kan Liang)

- x86 hw breakpoints robustization (Andy Lutomirski)

Main perf tooling side changes:

- Support Intel PT in several tools, enabling the use of the
processor trace feature introduced in Intel Broadwell processors:

- Add support for using several Intel PT features (CYC, MTC packets),
the relevant documentation was updated in:
tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt
briefly describing those packets, its purposes, how to configure
them in the event config terms and relevant external documentation
for further reading. (Adrian Hunter)

- Introduce support for probing at an absolute address, for user and
kernel 'perf probe's, useful when one have the symbol maps on a
developer machine but not on an embedded system. (Wang Nan)

- Add Intel BTS support, with a call-graph script to show it and PT
in use in a GUI using 'perf script' python scripting with
postgresql and Qt. (Adrian Hunter)

- Allow selecting the type of callchains per event, including
disabling callchains in all but one entry in an event list, to save
space, and also to ask for the callchains collected in one event to
be used in other events. (Kan Liang)

- Beautify more syscall arguments in 'perf trace': (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
* A bunch more translate file/pathnames from pointers to strings.
* Convert numbers to strings for the 'keyctl' syscall 'option'
arg.
* Add missing 'clockid' entries.

- Introduce 'srcfile' sort key: (Andi Kleen)

# perf record -F 10000 usleep 1
# perf report --stdio --dsos '[kernel.vmlinux]' -s srcfile
<SNIP>
# Overhead Source File
26.49% copy_page_64.S
5.49% signal.c
0.51% msr.h
#

It can be combined with other fields, for instance, experiment with
'-s srcfile,symbol'.

There are some oddities in some distros and with some specific
DSOs, being investigated, so your mileage may vary.

- Support per-event 'freq' term: (Namhyung Kim)

$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,freq=1234/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -F
cpu/instructions,freq=1234/: sample_freq=1234
cycles: sample_period=1000
$

- Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname,
showing pathnames instead of pointers in many syscalls in 'perf
trace'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that we
can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'.
(Wang Nan)

- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

$ trace -e file touch file

Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More
work needed to add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also
to complement what was added for the 'file' group, included as a
proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI. (Davidlohr Bueso)

- Let user have timestamps with per-thread recording in 'perf record'
(Adrian Hunter)

- ... and tons of other changes, see the shortlog and the Git log for
details"

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

User visible changes:

- Force period term to overload global settings, i.e. previously this
command line:

$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/',cycles -c 1000 sleep 1

would result in both events having a period equal to 1000, with the fix we
get something saner:

$ perf evlist -v | grep period
cpu/instructions,period=20000/: ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000, ...
cycles: ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...
$

(Jiri Olsa)

Infrastructure changes:

- Use the dummy software event with freq=0 in the twatch.py python
binding example, to avoid disabling nohz. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add some missing constants to the python binding. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix mismatched declarations for elf_getphdrnum, that happens
only in the corner case where this function is not found on
the system. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Add build test for having ending double slash. (Jiri Olsa)

- Introduce callgraph_set for callgraph option. (Kan Liang)

perf python: Make twatch.py use soft dummy event, freq=0

To not sample, what we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events
for threads, using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE +
PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES and freq=1 (the default), makes perf reenable
irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, disabling nohz, not good for some use
cases where all we want is to get notifications when threads comes and
goes...

Fix it by using PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (no counter rotation) and
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY (created by Adrian so that we could have access to
those PERF_RECORD_ goodies).

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

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"As a first remark I'd like to point out that the obsolete '-f'
(--force) option, which has not done anything for several releases,
has been removed from 'perf record' and related utilities. Everyone
please update muscle memory accordingly! :-)

Main changes on the perf kernel side:

- Performance optimizations:
. for trace events, by Steve Rostedt.
. for time values, by Peter Zijlstra

- New hardware support:
. for Intel Silvermont (22nm Atom) CPUs, by Zheng Yan
. for Intel SNB-EP uncore PMUs, by Zheng Yan

- Enhanced hardware support:
. for Intel uncore PMUs: add filter support for QPI boxes, by Zheng Yan

- Core perf events code enhancements and fixes:
. for full-nohz feature handling, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for group events, by Jiri Olsa
. for call chains, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for event stream parsing, by Adrian Hunter

- New ABI details:
. Add attr->mmap2 attribute, by Stephane Eranian
. Add PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl to return event ID, by Jiri Olsa
. Export u64 time_zero on the mmap header page to allow TSC
calculation, by Adrian Hunter
. Add dummy software event, by Adrian Hunter.
. Add a new PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER to make samples always
parseable, by Adrian Hunter.
. Make Power7 events available via sysfs, by Runzhen Wang.

- Code cleanups and refactorings:
. for nohz-full, by Frederic Weisbecker
. for group events, by Jiri Olsa

- Documentation updates:
. for perf_event_type, by Peter Zijlstra

Main changes on the perf tooling side (some of these tooling changes
utilize the above kernel side changes):

- Lots of 'perf trace' enhancements:

. Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
'perf record', by David Ahern.

. Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex
syscalls, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Add option to analyze events in a file versus live, so that
one can do:

[root@zoo ~]# perf record -a -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 25.150 MB perf.data (~1098836 samples) ]
[root@zoo ~]# perf trace -i perf.data -e futex --duration 1
17.799 ( 1.020 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, ua
113.344 (95.429 ms): 7127 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff3f6c6674, op: 393, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff3f6c6470, uaddr2: 0x7fff3f6c6648, val3: 4294967

[root@zoo ~]#

By David Ahern.

. Honor target pid / tid options when analyzing a file, by David Ahern.

. Introduce better formatting of syscall arguments, including so
far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Handle HUGEPAGE defines in the mmap beautifier, by David Ahern.

- 'perf report/top' enhancements:

. Do annotation using /proc/kcore and /proc/kallsyms when
available, removing the forced need for a vmlinux file kernel
assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.
By Adrian Hunter.

. Add --ignore-callees=<regex> option to collapse undesired parts
of call graphs, by Greg Price.

. Simplify symbol filtering by doing it at machine class level,
by Adrian Hunter.

stat' record and report, by David Ahern.

. Add option to analyze specific VM in perf kvm stat report, by
David Ahern.

. Do not require /lib/modules/* on a guest, by Jason Wessel.

- 'perf script' enhancements:

. Fix symbol offset computation for some dsos, by David Ahern.

. Fix named threads support, by David Ahern.

. Don't install scripting files files when perl/python support
is disabled, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

- 'perf test' enhancements:

kallsyms" 'perf test' entry, related to the /proc/kcore
annotation feature. By Adrian Hunter.

. Add sample parsing test, by Adrian Hunter.

. List pmu events, by Andi Kleen.

- 'perf diff' enhancements:

. Add support for more than two files comparison, by Jiri Olsa.

- 'perf sched' enhancements:

. Various improvements, including removing reliance on some
scheduler tracepoints that provide the same information as the
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,EXIT} events. By David Ahern.

. Remove odd build stall by moving a large struct initialization
from a local variable to a global one, by Namhyung Kim.

- 'perf stat' enhancements:

. Add --initial-delay option to skip measuring for a defined
startup phase, by Andi Kleen.

- Generic perf tooling infrastructure/plumbing changes:

. Tidy up sample parsing validation, by Adrian Hunter.

. Fix up jobserver setup in libtraceevent Makefile.
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.

. Debug improvements, by Adrian Hunter.

. Fix correlation of samples coming after PERF_RECORD_EXIT event,
by David Ahern.

. Improve robustness of the topology parsing code,
by Stephane Eranian.

. Add group leader sampling, that allows just one event in a group
to sample while the other events have just its values read,
by Jiri Olsa.

. Add support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.
By Michael Ellerman.

. Support callchain sorting based on addresses, by Andi Kleen

. Prep work for multi perf data file storage, by Jiri Olsa.

. libtraceevent cleanups, by Namhyung Kim.

And lots and lots of other fixes and code reorganizations that did not
make it into the list, see the shortlog, diffstat and the Git log for
details!"
