If the kernel is compiled with gcc 4.6.0 which supports -mfentry,
then use that instead of mcount.
With mcount, frame pointers are forced with the -pg option and we
get something like:
<can_vma_merge_before>:
55 push %rbp
48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
53 push %rbx
41 51 push %r9
e8 fe 6a 39 00 callq ffffffff81483d00 <mcount>
31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx
48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi
48 33 73 30 xor 0x30(%rbx),%rsi
48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7 test $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi
With -mfentry, frame pointers are no longer forced and the call looks
like this:
<can_vma_merge_before>:
e8 33 af 37 00 callq ffffffff81461b40 <__fentry__>
53 push %rbx
48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx
31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi
41 51 push %r9
48 33 73 30 xor 0x30(%rbx),%rsi
48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7 test $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi
This adds the ftrace hook at the beginning of the function before a
frame is set up, and allows the function callbacks to be able to access
parameters. As kprobes now can use function tracing (at least on x86)
this speeds up the kprobe hooks that are at the beginning of the
function.

The function graph has a test to check if the frame pointer is
corrupted, which can happen with various options of gcc with mcount.
But this is not an issue with -mfentry as -mfentry does not need nor use
frame pointers for function graph tracing.

Thanks to Andi Kleen, gcc 4.6.0 now supports -mfentry for x86
(and hopefully soon for other archs). What this does is to have
the function profiler start at the beginning of the function
instead of after the stack is set up. As plain -pg (mcount) is
called after the stack is set up, and in some cases can have issues
with the function graph tracer. It also requires frame pointers to
be enabled.
The -mfentry now calls __fentry__ at the beginning of the function.
This allows for compiling without frame pointers and even has the
ability to access parameters if needed.
If the architecture and the compiler both support -mfentry then
use that instead.

With gcc 4.6.0 the -mfentry feature places the function profiling
call at the start of the function. When this is used, the call is
to __fentry__ and not mcount.
Change recordmcount.c to record both callers to __fentry__ and
mcount.

Pull ftrace updates from Steve Rostedt:
" This patch series extends ftrace function tracing utility to be
more dynamic for its users. It allows for data passing to the callback
functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger

The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use ftrace
as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an ftrace nop.
With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going through lots of
iterations, we finally came up with a good solution. "

When we use a separate output directory, we add util/ to the include
path for the generated C files. However, this is currently added to the
end of the path, behind /usr/include/slang and /usr/include/gtk-2.0 if
use of the respective libraries is enabled. Thus the '#include
"../perf.h"' in util/parse-events.l can actually include
/usr/include/perf.h if it exists.
Move '-Iutil/' ahead of all the other preprocessor options.

Use same type for ids everywhere.
In case of writing to perf.data the size is u32. In pipe mode it is
limited to header.size (less than u16). Adding a size check here.
Size overflow due to casting shouldn't actually happen in practice, but
during development this may cause type missmatch warninngs/errors,
unifying types avoids this.

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.
The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.
With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
# perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls
resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.
All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.
Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
-e instructions ls
# 1 group
# (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
-e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls
It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:
# perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'
resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with
event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as
an update to the existing event modifiers.
Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function.
Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is
initialized/updated respectively.
Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember
if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the
default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group
modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set
by default or by event modifier.
Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset
the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups.
The grammar for group is:
groups: groups ',' group | group
group: group_name '{' events '}' group_mod
group_name: name | empty
group_mod: ':' group_mods | empty
group_mods: event_mod
It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier
for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event
modifiers.
It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on
command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of
the shells.
It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like:
'{cycles,faults}'
- anonymous group
'group1{cycles,faults}
- group with name 'group1'
'{cycles,faults}:k
- anonymous group with event modifier 'k'
'{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}'
- two anonymous groups
The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.
This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.
Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).
Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.
This fixes 2 issues:
- Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
function descriptors.
- On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
dynsym section.
Assumptions:
- If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
image with a dynsym section.
- This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
(ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
(which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).
The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
pass both runtime & debug images.
Assumptions made here:
- The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.
- The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.
Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).

Only one callsite of dso__load_sym() uses the want_symtab functionality,
so place the logic at the callsite instead of within dso__load_sym().
This sets us up for removal of want_symtab completely once we keep
multiple elf handles (within symsrc's) around.

In certain cases, dso__load requires dso->symbol_type to be set prior to
calling it. With the introduction of symsrc*, the symtab_type is now
stored in a symsrc which is then passed to dso__load_sym().
Change dso__load_sym() to use the symtab_type from them symsrc (setting
dso->symtab_type as well).

Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an
external structure.
The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up
sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in
dso__load()).
We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of
function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions
don't point to their actual location, they point to their function
descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location.
It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end
up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for
the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need
to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).

If we call elf_section_by_name() with a truncated elf image (ie: the
file header indicates that the section headers are placed past the end
of the file), elf_strptr() causes a segfault within libelf.
Avoid this by checking that we can access the section string table
properly.
Should really be fixed in libelf/elfutils.

dso__load_vmlinux() uses the filename passed to it to directly set the
dso long_name, which resulted in a use after free due to
dso__load_vmlinux_path() treating 0 symbols as a load failure and
subsequently freeing the contents of dso->long_name.
Change dso__load_vmlinux() so that finding 0 symbols does not cause it
to consider itself loaded, and do not set long_name in such a case.

The only site that jumps to out_fixup has (kallsyms_filename == NULL).
And all paths that reach 'if (err > 0)' without 'goto out_fixup' have
kallsyms_filename != NULL.

kallsyms__parse() takes a callback that is called on every discovered
symbol. As /proc/kallsyms does not supply symbol sizes, the callback was
simply called with end=start, faking the symbol size to 1.
All of the callbacks (there are 2) used in calls to kallsyms__parse()
are _only_ used as callbacks for kallsyms__parse().
Given that kallsyms__parse() lacks real information about what
end/length should be, don't make up a length in kallsyms__parse().
Instead have the callbacks handle guessing the length.
Also relocate a comment regarding symbol creation to the callback which
does symbol creation (kallsyms__parse() is not in general used to create
symbols).

In kallsyms_parse() when calling process_symbol() (a callback argument
to kallsyms_parse()), we pass start as both start & end (ie:
start=start, end=start).
In map__process_kallsym_symbol(), the length is calculated as 'end -
start + 1', making the length 1, not 0.
Essentially, start & end define an inclusive range.

This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code.
It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
'fp' - provides framepointer based user
stack backtrace
'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack
backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default.
If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument
becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option
in any case.
Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)
perf record -g dwarf ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size
perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size
perf record -g -- ls
perf record -g fp ls
- provides frame pointer unwind

This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post
processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed
to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the
applications.
Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based
on the user register values and user stack dump.
The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface
and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack.
The unwind interface provides following function:
unwind__get_entries
And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve
the backtrace entries:
typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry,
void *arg);
