Add a new --quiet option to 'perf stat'. This is useful with 'perf stat
record' to write the data only to the perf.data file, which can lower
measurement overhead because the data doesn't need to be formatted.
On my 4C desktop:
% time ./perf stat record -e $(python -c 'print ",".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5
...
real 0m5.377s
user 0m0.238s
sys 0m0.452s
% time ./perf stat record --quiet -e $(python -c 'print ",".join(["cycles"]*1000)') -a -I 1000 sleep 5
real 0m5.452s
user 0m0.183s
sys 0m0.423s
In this example it cuts the user time by 20%. On systems with more cores
the savings are higher.

Peter suggested that using the exclusive mode in perf could avoid some
problems with bad scheduling of groups. Exclusive is implemented in the
kernel, but wasn't exposed by the perf tool, so hard to use without
custom low level API users.
Add support for marking groups or events with :e for exclusive in the
perf tool. The implementation is basically the same as the existing
pinned attribute.

The --for-each-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number
of cgroups easily. Current command line requires to list all the events
and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each cgroup.
This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for each cgroup
on user's behalf.
For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each they
should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names (with -G)
on the command line. But with this change, they can just specify 6
events and 200 cgroups with a new option.
A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups ('A'
and 'B'). The result is that total 6 events are counted like below.
$ perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B sleep 1

These are reported differently than the previous TopDown support,
each metric is standalone, but scaled to pipeline "slots".
We don't need to do anything special for HyperThreading anymore.

print them in the same way as the previous TopDown metrics.
The restrictions of only being able to report information per core is

The '-g/-G' options have already implied function_graph tracer should be
used instead of function tracer. So we don't need extra option
'--tracer' in this case.
This patch changes the behavior as below:
- If '-g' or '-G' option is on, then function_graph tracer is used.
- If '-T' or '-N' option is on, then function tracer is used.
- The function_graph has priority over function tracer.
- The option '--tracer' only take effect if neither -g/-G nor -T/-N
is specified.
Here are some examples.
This will start tracing all functions using default tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace
This will trace all functions using function graph tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace -G '*'
This will trace function vfs_read using function graph tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_read
This will trace function vfs_read using function tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace -T vfs_read
Committer notes:
Using '-h -G' will tell what that option is about, so to further clarify
the above examples:
# perf ftrace -h -G
-G, --graph-funcs <func> Set graph filter on given functions
# perf ftrace -h -g

Adad support to convert and store time of day in CTF data conversion for
'perf data convert' subcommand.
The perf.data used for conversion needs to have clock data information -
must be recorded with -k/--clockid option).
New --tod option is added to 'perf data convert' subcommand to convert
data with timestamps converted to wall clock time.
Record data with clockid set:
# perf record -k CLOCK_MONOTONIC kill
kill: not enough arguments
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.033 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
Convert data with TOD timestamps:
# perf data convert --tod --to-ctf ./ctf
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.000 MB (8 samples) ]
Display data in perf script:
# perf script -F+tod --ns
perf 262150 2020-07-13 18:38:50.097678523 153633.958246159: 1 cycles: ...

It's available only for recording with clockid specified, because it's
the only case where we can get reference time to wallclock time. It's
can't do that with perf clock yet.
Error is display if you want to use --tod on data without clockid
specified:
# perf data convert --tod --to-ctf ./ctf
Can't provide --tod time, missing clock data. Please record with -k/--clockid option.

Add a new CLOCK_DATA feature that stores reference times when
-k/--clockid option is specified.
It contains the clock id and its reference time together with wall clock
time taken at the 'same time', both values are in nanoseconds.
The format of data is as below:
struct {
u32 version; /* version = 1 */
u32 clockid;
u64 wall_clock_ns;
u64 clockid_time_ns;
};
This clock reference times will be used in following changes to display
wall clock for perf events.
It's available only for recording with clockid specified, because it's
the only case where we can get reference time to wallclock time. It's
can't do that with perf clock yet.

The 'q' option is for modes of decoding that are quicker because they
skip or omit decoding some aspects of trace data.

The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance
has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing
machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version
of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure
syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet
without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based
on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses.

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.
With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:
$ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....
One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

Add --metric-no-group that causes all events within metrics to not be
grouped. This can allow the event to get more time when multiplexed, but
may also lower accuracy.
Add --metric-no-merge option. By default events in different metrics may
be shared if the group of events for one metric is the same or larger
than that of the second. Sharing may increase or lower accuracy and so
is now configurable.

Add support for new "stat.big-num" boolean option.
This allows a user to set a default for "--no-big-num" for "perf stat"
commands.
--
$ perf config stat.big-num
$ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
778,849 cycles
[...]
$ perf config stat.big-num=false
$ perf config stat.big-num
stat.big-num=false
$ perf stat --event cycles /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

There is an interaction with "--field-separator" that must be
accommodated, such that specifying "--big-num --field-separator={x}"
still reports an invalid combination of options.

When the event is passed as list, the default events should be listed as
per 'perf mem record -e list'. Previous behavior is:
$ perf c2c record -e list
failed: event 'list' not found, use '-e list' to get list of available events
Usage: perf c2c record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf c2c record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. Use 'perf mem record -e list' to list available events
$
New behavior:

To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which
is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming.
Mimic perf top way of handling the option.
If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before
this option.
On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't
slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has
some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with
>100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of
seconds and in this case having the option is desirable.
As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if
Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in
place:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/
shows:
...
- 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads
- 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread
+ 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events
+ 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0
+ 1.49% process_synthesized_event
+ 1.29% __GI___readdir64
+ 0.60% __opendir
...
That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to
make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-2-irogers@google.com/

Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1
thread to 2.269 usec with 8. This isn't a linear speed up as not all of
synthesize code has been made parallel. If the synthesis time was about
10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.

For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it
exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this
interval.
See the following examples:
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000422803 764,809 inst_retired.any # 2.9 CPI
1.000422803 2,234,932 cycles
2.001464585 1,960,061 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI
2.001464585 4,022,591 cycles
The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1)
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000429493 2,869,311 cycles
1.000429493 816,875 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle
2.001516426 9,260,973 cycles
2.001516426 5,250,634 instructions # 0.87 insn per cycle
The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is
0.57).
The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and
updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not
reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval.
perf_stat_process_counter()
{
if (config->interval)
init_stats(ps->res_stats);
}
So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too.
This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat
is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval.
With this patch:
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000420924 2,408,818 inst_retired.any # 2.1 CPI
1.000420924 5,010,111 cycles
2.001448579 2,798,407 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI
2.001448579 4,599,861 cycles
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000428555 2,769,714 cycles
1.000428555 774,462 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle
2.001471562 3,595,904 cycles
2.001471562 1,243,703 instructions # 0.35 insn per cycle
Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts
generated in this interval.

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack can
break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call stacks
in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp. Also, it
may impact the processing time especially when the number of samples
with stitched LBRs are huge.

The current rXXXX event specification creates event under PERF_TYPE_RAW
pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX within pmu syntax, so it's
type is used via the following syntax:
-e 'cpu/r3c/'
-e 'cpum_cf/r0/'
The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the same way as
in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is filled with pmu type.
Committer testing:
So, lets see what goes in perf_event_attr::config for, say, the
'instructions' PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE (0) event, first we should look at how
to encode this event as a PERF_TYPE_RAW event for this specific CPU, an
AMD Ryzen 5:
# cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions
event=0xc0
#
Then try with it _and_ the instruction, just to see that they are close
enough:
# perf stat -e rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
919,794 rc0
919,898 instructions
1.000754579 seconds time elapsed
0.000715000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
#
Now we should try, before this patch, the PMU event encoding:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/ sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu/rc0/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore
#
Now with this patch, the three ways of specifying the 'instructions' CPU
counter are accepted:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/,rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
892,948 cpu/rc0/
893,052 rc0
893,156 instructions

When AUX area events are used in sampling mode, they must be the group
leader, but the group leader is also used for leader-sampling. However,
it is not desirable to use an AUX area event as the leader for
leader-sampling, because it doesn't have any samples of its own. To support
leader-sampling with AUX area events, use the 2nd event of the group as the
"leader" for the purposes of leader-sampling.
Example:
# perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles,instructions}:S' -c 10000 uname
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.786 MB perf.data ]

Event synthesis may occur at the start or end (tail) of a perf command.
In system-wide mode it can scan every process in /proc, which may add
seconds of latency before event recording. Add a new benchmark that
times how long event synthesis takes with and without data synthesis.
An example execution looks like:
$ perf bench internals synthesize
# Running 'internals/synthesize' benchmark:
Average synthesis took: 168.253800 usec
Average data synthesis took: 208.104700 usec

'perf report' supports the option --group-sort-idx, which sorts the
output by the event at the index n in event group.
For example:
perf record -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses
perf report --group --group-sort-idx 2 --stdio
The perf-report output is sorted by cache-misses.
This patch supports --group-sort-idx in perf-top.
For example:
perf top --group -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses --group-sort-idx 2
The perf-top output is sorted by cache-misses.

The cgroup sort key is to show cgroup membership of each task.
Currently it shows full path in the cgroupfs (not relative to the root
of cgroup namespace) since it'd be more intuitive IMHO. Otherwise root
cgroup in different namespaces will all show same name - "/".
The cgroup sort key should come before cgroup_id otherwise
sort_dimension__add() will match it to cgroup_id as it only matches with
the given substring.
For example it will look like following. Note that record patch adding
--all-cgroups patch will come later.
$ perf record -a --namespace --all-cgroups cgtest

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group
information together. By default, the output is sorted by the first
event in group.
It would be nice for user to select any event for sorting. This patch
introduces a new option "--group-sort-idx" to sort the output by the
event at the index n in event group.
For example,
Before:
# perf report --group --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Now the output is sorted by the fourth event in group.
v7:
---
Rebase to latest perf/core, no other change.
v4:
---
1. Update Documentation/perf-report.txt to mention
'--group-sort-idx' support multiple groups with different
amount of events and it should be used on grouped events.
2. Update __hpp__group_sort_idx(), just return when the
idx is out of limit.
3. Return failure on symbol_conf.group_sort_idx && !session->evlist->nr_groups.
So now we don't need to use together with --group.
v3:
---
Refine the code in __hpp__group_sort_idx().
Before:
for (i = 1; i < nr_members; i++) {
if (i == idx) {
ret = field_cmp(fields_a[i], fields_b[i]);
if (ret)
goto out;
}
}
After:
if (idx >= 1 && idx < nr_members) {
ret = field_cmp(fields_a[idx], fields_b[idx]);
if (ret)
goto out;
}

We have supported the event modifier "percore" which sums up the event
counts for all hardware threads in a core and show the counts per core.
For example,
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S0-D0-C0 395,072 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C1 851,248 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C2 954,226 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C3 1,233,659 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
This patch provides a new option "--percore-show-thread". It is used
with event modifier "percore" together to sum up the event counts for
all hardware threads in a core but show the counts per hardware thread.
This is essentially a replacement for the any bit (which is gone in
Icelake). Per core counts are useful for some formulas, e.g. CoreIPC.
The original percore version was inconvenient to post process. This
variant matches the output of the any bit.
With this patch, for example,
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 2,453,061 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU1 1,823,921 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU2 1,383,166 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU3 1,102,652 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU4 2,453,061 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU5 1,823,921 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU6 1,383,166 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU7 1,102,652 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
We can see counts are duplicated in CPU pairs (CPU0/CPU4, CPU1/CPU5,
CPU2/CPU6, CPU3/CPU7).
The interval mode also works. For example,
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -I 1000
# time CPU counts unit events
1.000425421 CPU0 925,032 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU1 430,202 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU2 436,843 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU3 1,192,504 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU4 925,032 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU5 430,202 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU6 436,843 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
1.000425421 CPU7 1,192,504 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
If we offline CPU5, the result is:
# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 2,752,148 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU1 1,009,312 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU2 2,784,072 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU3 2,427,922 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

Ravi Bangoria reports an issue in v3. Once we offline a CPU,
the output is not correct. The issue is we should use the cpu
idx in print_percore_thread rather than using the cpu value.
v3:
---
1. Fix the interval mode output error
2. Use cpu value (not cpu index) in config->aggr_get_id().
3. Refine the code according to Jiri's comments.

perf config annotate options says it works only with TUI, which is wrong.
Most of the TUI options are applicable to stdio2 as well. So remove that
generic line and add individual line with each option stating which
browsers supports that option. Also, annotate.show_nr_samples config is
missing in Documentation. Describe it.

The 'perf kvm' subcommand has options that it in turn passes to other
perf subcommands such as 'report' and 'record', particularly -i and -o
end up setting the same variable that will then be used for 'record's -o
and report '-i', which ends up being confusing, leading some to think
that both -i and -o can be used with 'report'.
Improve the man page to state that -i is used with the post-processing
subcommands while -o is used just with 'record' and that to save the
output of 'report' one should simply redirect its output to a file.
Noticed while reading the https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Perf_events
page.

adjust the AUX buffer mmapping accordingly. To make it easy to queue

The patch adds a new option to limit the output file size, then based on
it, we can create a wrapper of the perf command that uses the option to
avoid exhausting the disk space by the unconscious user.
In order to make the perf.data parsable, we just limit the sample data
size, since the perf.data consists of many headers and sample data and
other data, the actual size of the recorded file will bigger than the
setting value.
Testing it:
# ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10M
Couldn't synthesize bpf events.

Support directory output that contains a regular perf.data file, named
"data". By default the directory is named perf.data i.e.
perf.data
└── data
Most of the infrastructure to support a directory is already there. This
patch makes the changes needed to support the format above.
Presently there is no 'perf record' option to output a directory.
This is preparation for adding support for putting a copy of /proc/kcore in
the directory.

There are some deprecated events listed by perf list. But we can't
remove them from perf list with ease because some old scripts may use
them.
Deprecated events are old names of renamed events. When an event gets
renamed the old name is kept around for some time and marked with
Deprecated. The newer Intel event lists in the tree already have these
headers.
So we need to keep them in the event list, but provide a new option to
show them. The new option is "--deprecated".
With this patch, the deprecated events are hidden by default but they
can be displayed when option "--deprecated" is enabled.

'perf record' has supported --all-kernel / --all-user to configure all

It would be useful to support these options in 'perf stat' too to keep

So far we used the libtraceevent printing routines when showing
tracepoint arguments, but since 'perf trace' has a lot of beautifiers
for syscall arguments, and since some of those can be used to augment
tracepoint arguments, add a routine to make use of those beautifiers
and allow the user to choose which one to use.
The default now is to use the same beautifiers used for the strace-like
sys_enter+sys_exit lines, but the user can choose the libtraceevent ones
by either using the:
perf trace --libtraceevent_print
command line option, or by setting:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[trace]
tracepoint_beautifiers = libtraceevent
For instance, here are some examples:
# perf trace -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "perf", pid: 5273 (perf), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdd06d1140, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.628 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "sleep", prev_pid: 5273 (sleep), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 1, next_comm: "swapper/6", next_pid: 0, next_prio: 120)
1000.879 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
0.621 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.026 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
1001.216 sched:sched_process_exit(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120)
#
And then using libtraceevent, as before:
# perf trace --libtraceevent_print -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=perf pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffeba6c2f40, rmtp: NULL) ...
0.747 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5288 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120)
1000.902 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=sleep pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
0.739 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
1001.012 exit_group(error_code: 0) = ?
#
The new default allocates an array of 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' for the
tracepoint arguments and, just like with syscall arguments, tries to
find suitable syscall_arg__scnprintf_NAME() routines to augment those
tracepoint arguments based on their type (as in the tracefs "format"
file), or even in their name + type, for instance arguntents with names
ending in "fd" with type "int" get the fd scnprintf beautifier attached,
etc.
Soon this will take advantage of the kernel BTF information to augment
enumerations based on the tracefs "format" type info.

it will override the default date written to the man page metadata.
Without this change, or if the perf_date isn't specified, then the
current date is written to the metadata.
Having this parameter allows the metadata to be constant if builds
happen on different dates.
The name of the parameter is intended to be consistent with the existing

Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance
to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some
workload.
The man page has some examples and considerations about its current
interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way,
behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.:
- In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a
a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the
histograms browser
- In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column
per event.
Try for instance:
# perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv
Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using:
# perf probe icmp_rcv:59
To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an
initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some
garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a
probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

It is useful to aggregate counts per die. E.g. Uncore becomes die-scope
on Xeon Cascade Lake-AP.
Introduce a new option "--per-die" to support per-die aggregation.
The global id for each core has been changed to socket + die id + core
id. The global id for each die is socket + die id.
Add die information for per-core aggregation. The output of per-core
aggregation will be changed from "S0-C0" to "S0-D0-C0". Any scripts
which rely on the output format of per-core aggregation probably be
broken.
For 'perf stat record/report', there is no die information when
processing the old perf.data. The per-die result will be the same as
per-socket.
Committer notes:
Renamed 'die' variable to 'die_id' to fix the build in some systems:

With the new CPUID.1F, a new level type of CPU topology, 'die', is
introduced. The 'die' information in CPU topology should be added in
perf header.
To be compatible with old perf.data, the patch checks the section size
before reading the die information. The new info is added at the end of
the cpu_topology section, the old perf tool ignores the extra data. It
never reads data crossing the section boundary.
The new perf tool with the patch can be used on legacy kernel. Add a new
function has_die_topology() to check if die topology information is
supported by kernel. The function only check X86 and CPU 0. Assuming
other CPUs have same topology.
Use similar method for core and socket to support die id and sibling
dies string.

One can just record callchains in the kernel or user space with this new
options.
We can use it together with "--all-kernel" options.
This two options is used just like print_stack(sys) or print_ustack(usr)
for systemtap.
Shown below is the usage of this new option combined with "--all-kernel"
options:
1. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
kernel callchains.
$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --kernel-callchains
2. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
user callchains.
$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --user-callchains
Committer notes:
Improved documentation to state that asking for kernel callchains really
is asking for excluding user callchains, and vice versa.
Further mentioned that using both won't get both, but nothing, as both
will be excluded.

execution. The additional cycles are due to the time to enter the
kernel, not the actual kernel page fault handler.

Add user memory access attribute for kprobe event arguments.
If a given 'local variable' is in user-space, User can
specify memory access method by '@user' suffix. This is
not only for string but also for data structure.
If we access a field of data structure in user memory from
kernel on some arch, it will fail. e.g.
perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority"
This will fail to access the "param->sched_priority" because
the param is __user pointer. Instead, we can now specify
@user suffix for such argument.
perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority@user"
Note that kernel memory access with "@user" must always fail
on any arch.

With this patch, we can use the 'percore' event qualifier in perf-stat.
root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ -a -A -I1000
1.000773050 S0-C0 98,352,832 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.01%)

1.000773050 S0-C2 196,776,995 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%)
1.000773050 S0-C3 176,493,779 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%)
1.000773050 CPU0 47,699,641 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (50.02%)
1.000773050 CPU1 49,052,451 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU2 102,771,422 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU3 100,784,662 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU4 43,171,342 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU5 54,152,158 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU6 93,618,410 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU7 74,477,589 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.99%)
In this example, we count the event 'ref-cycles' per-core and per-CPU in
one perf stat command-line. From the output, we can see:
S0-C0 = CPU0 + CPU4
S0-C1 = CPU1 + CPU5
S0-C2 = CPU2 + CPU6
S0-C3 = CPU3 + CPU7
So the result is expected (tiny difference is ignored).
Note that, the 'percore' event qualifier needs to use with option '-A'.

Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.
We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level.
This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed.
v4:
---
1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for
this new qualifier.
2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch
v3:
---
Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments.
Before:
"return term->val.percore ? true : false;"
Now:
"return term->val.percore;"
v2:
---
Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to
comments from Jiri and Andi.

'perf report' displays recorded data on the screen and emits warnings
and debug messages in the status line (last one on screen).
perf also supports the possibility to write all debug messages to stderr
(instead of writing them to the status line).
This is achieved with the following command:
# ./perf --debug stderr=1 report -vvvvv -i ~/fast.data 2>/tmp/2
# ll /tmp/2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tmricht tmricht 5420835 May 7 13:46 /tmp/2
#
The usage of variable stderr=1 is not documented, so add it to the perf
man page.

Implemented -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option that enables compression
of mmaped kernel data buffers content in runtime during perf record mode
collection. Default option value is 1 (fastest compression).
Compression overhead has been measured for serial and AIO streaming when
profiling matrix multiplication workload:

OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)
ratio - compression ratio

Committer notes:
Testing it I noticed that it failed to disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, and as we'd have to uncompress everything to
look for the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,SAMPLE,etc} to figure out which build ids
to read from DSOs, we better disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, logging with pr_debug() when doing so:
Original patch:
# perf record -z2
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
0x1746e0 [0x76]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.568 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.452 MB, ratio is 3.995) ]
#
After auto-disabling build id processing when compression is enabled:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.292) ]
$ perf record -v -z2 sleep 1
Compression enabled, disabling build id collection at the end of the session.
<SNIP extra -v pr_debug() messages>
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.305) ]
$
Also, with parts of the patch originally after this one moved to just
before this one we get:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.371) ]

0 0x30d [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0
$
I.e. when faced with PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED that we still have no code
to process, we just show it as not being handled, skip them and
continue, while before we had:
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0x1b8 [0x169]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
Error:

Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building

The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite
some time because scaling is default.
It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling
code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output
code relies on value run/ena information.
Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show
its multiplex percentage.
This patch:
- Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c
- Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives.
- Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale
- And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.

When doing long term recording and waiting for some event to snapshot
on, we often only care about the last minute or so.
The --switch-output command line option supports rotating the perf.data
file when the size exceeds a threshold. But the disk would still be
filled with unnecessary old files.
Add a new option to only keep a number of rotated files, so that the
disk space usage can be limited.

Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but
the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually.
It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in
the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number
of samples for useful analysis.
Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads
mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems.
Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per
hist entry.
Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of
samples.
Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected
sample.
It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to
some limitations in the slang ui code.

To improve 'perf diff', implement a --time filter option to diff the
samples within given time window.
It supports time percent with multiple time ranges. The time string
format is 'a%/n,b%/m,...' or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'.
For example:
Select the second 10% time slice to diff:
perf diff --time 10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% time slice to diff:
perf diff --time 0%-10%
Select the first and the second 10% time slices to diff:
perf diff --time 10%/1,10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices to diff:
perf diff --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
It also supports analysing samples within a given time window
<start>,<stop>.
Times have the format seconds.microseconds.
If 'start' is not given (i.e., time string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at
the beginning of the file.
If the stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis
goes to end of file.
Time string is 'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps for
different perf.data files.
For example, we get the timestamp information from perf script.
perf script -i perf.data.old
mgen 13940 [000] 3946.361400: ...
perf script -i perf.data
mgen 13940 [000] 3971.150589 ...
perf diff --time 3946.361400,:3971.150589,
It analyzes the perf.data.old from the timestamp 3946.361400 to the end of
perf.data.old and analyzes the perf.data from the timestamp 3971.150589 to the
end of perf.data.

I was trigger happy on this one, as using ordered_events as implemented
by Jiri for use with the --block code under discussion on lkml incurs
in delaying processing to form batches that then get ordered and then
printed.
With 'perf trace' we want to process the events as they go, without that
delay, and doing it that way works well for the common case which is to
trace a thread or a workload started by 'perf trace'.
So revert back to not using ordered_events but add an option to select
that mode so that users can experiment with their particular use case to
see if works better, i.e. if the added delay is not a problem and the
ordering helps.

When looking at PT or brstackinsn traces with 'perf script' it can be
very useful to see the source code. This adds a simple facility to print
them with 'perf script', if the information is available through dwarf

Not supported for callchains currently, would need some layout changes
there.

The default timeout of 500ms for parsing /proc/<pid>/maps files is too
short for profiling many of our services.
This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant
command but it'd be nice to globally increase our default value.
This patch permits setting a different default with the
core.proc-map-timeout config file parameter.

Go over the tools/ files that are maintained in Arnaldo's tree and
fix common typos: half of them were in comments, the other half
in JSON files.
No change in functionality intended.
Committer notes:
This was split from a larger patch as there are code that is,
additionally, maintained outside the kernel tree, so to ease cherry
picking and/or backporting, split this into multiple patches.
In this particular case, it affects documentation, so may be interesting
to cherry pick as it is information that is presented to the user.

Multi AIO trace writing allows caching more kernel data into userspace
memory postponing trace writing for the sake of overall profiling data
thruput increase. It could be seen as kernel data buffer extension into
userspace memory.
With an --aio option value different from 0 (default value is 1) the
tool has capability to cache more and more data into user space along
with delegating spill to AIO.
That allows avoiding to suspend at record__aio_sync() between calls of
record__mmap_read_evlist() and increases profiling data thruput at the
cost of userspace memory.

The trace file offset is read once before mmaps iterating loop and
written back after all performance data is enqueued for aio writing.
The trace file offset is incremented linearly after every successful aio
write operation.
record__aio_sync() blocks till completion of the started AIO operation
and then proceeds.
record__aio_mmap_read_sync() implements a barrier for all incomplete
aio write requests.

This basically replicates what was done for 'perf report' in:
b226a5a729 ("perf report: Allow user to specify path to kallsyms file")
This should help with resolving eBPF symbols, that are in kallsyms but,
of course, not in vmlinux.
