If the classes derived from ui_browser want to do some sort of
horizontal scrolling, they have just to set ui_browser->columns to
the number of columns available.
Those columns can be the number of characters on the screen, if what is
desired is to scroll character by character, or the number of columns in
a spreadsheet like table.
This is what the hist_browser will do, skipping ui_browser->horiz_scroll
columns when rendering each of its lines.

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM
(software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not
able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test
case.
For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture
specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.
The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the
counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read
both the hardware event and the software event counters.
Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM
event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE().

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and
define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply
to the build architecture.
We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is
present in the generic perf tests.

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in
the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests
into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which
is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture.
The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build
out perf's test coverage, without dumping everything in
tools/perf/tests.

of IP address. Use the iaddr instead to get proper sorting on IP

The --interval-print parameter was limited to 100ms. However, for
example, 10ms is required to do sophisticated bandwidth analysis using
uncore events.
The test shows that the overhead of the system-wide uncore monitoring
with 10ms interval is only ~2%. So this patch reduces the minimal
interval-print allowd to 10ms.
But 10ms may not work well for all cases. For example, when the
cpus/threads number is very large, for system-wide core event monitoring
the overhead could be high.
To handle this issue, a warning will be displayed when the
interval-print is set between 10ms to 100ms. So users can make a
decision according to their specific cases.
# perf stat -e uncore_imc_1/cas_count_read/ -a --interval-print 10 -- sleep 1
print interval < 100ms. The overhead percentage could be high in some
cases. Please proceed with caution.

When run "perf record -e", the number of samples showed up is wrong on some
32 bit systems, i.e. powerpc and arm.
For example, run the below commands on 32 bit powerpc:
perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 malloc
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -a ls perf.data
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.036 MB perf.data (13829241621624967218 samples) ]
Actually, "perf script" just shows 21 samples. The number of samples is also
absurd since samples is long type, but it is printed as PRIu64.

Allow probing on kernel modules when 'perf' is built without debuginfo
support.
Currently perf-probe --module requires linking with libdw, but this
doesn't make sense.
E.g.
----
# make NO_DWARF=1
# ./perf probe -m pcspkr pcspkr_event%return
Error: unknown switch `m'
----
With this patch
----
# ./perf probe -m pcspkr pcspkr_event%return
Added new event:
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event%return in pcspkr)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

The patch f9db0d0f1b2c ("perf callchain: Allow disabling call graphs

event. But it had a problem when the enablement setting is changed at
'perf report' time using -g/--call-graph option.
For example, the following scenario will get a segfault.
$ perf record -ag sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.500 MB perf.data (2555 samples) ]
$ perf report -g none

The perf top uses 'dso,symbol' sort keys by default so it overlooked a
problem in task's comm resolving. When the sort key contains 'comm',
some task's comm is not shown properly. This is because the
perf_top__mmap_read_idx() checks the cpumode value improperly.
The cpumode value of non-sample events are 0 (PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_
UNKNOWN) so the events will be ignored by the switch statement. This patch
allows it for non-sample events.

A previous patch added a synthesized comm event for forked child process
but it missed that the event should contain area for sample_id_hdr at
the end. It worked by accident since the perf_event union contains
bigger event structs like mmap_events.
This patch fixes it by dynamically allocating event struct including
those area like in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map().

So that one can, for instance, use it with wc -l:
# perf list *:*write* | wc -l
60
Or to look for the "bio" tracepoints, without 'perf list' headers:
# perf list *:*bio* | head
block:block_bio_backmerge [Tracepoint event]
block:block_bio_bounce [Tracepoint event]
block:block_bio_complete [Tracepoint event]
block:block_bio_frontmerge [Tracepoint event]
block:block_bio_queue [Tracepoint event]
block:block_bio_remap [Tracepoint event]

perf probe shows more precisely message when it finds given
%return target function is inlined.
Without this fix:
----
# ./perf probe -V getname_flags%return
Return probe must be on the head of a real function.
Debuginfo analysis failed.
Error: Failed to show vars.
----
With this fix:
----
# ./perf probe -V getname_flags%return
Failed to find "getname_flags%return",
because getname_flags is an inlined function and has no return point.

perf probe --list will get a segfault if the first kprobe event is on a
module and the second or latter one is on the kernel.
e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -q -m pcspkr pcspkr_event
# ./perf probe -q vfs_read
# ./perf probe -l
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
----
This is because the debuginfo_cache fails to handle NULL module name,
which causes segfault on strcmp. (Note that strcmp("something", NULL)
always causes segfault)
To fix this debuginfo_cache__open always translates the NULL module name
to "kernel" (this is correct, because NULL module name means opening the
debuginfo for the kernel)
----
# ./perf probe -l
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c
in pcspkr)
probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

Perf probe always failed to find appropriate line numbers because of
failing to find .text start address offset from debuginfo.
e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -m pcspkr pcspkr_event:5
Added new events:
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr)
probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:pcspkr_event_1 -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -l
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f006
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f016
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event+6 in pcspkr)
probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event+22 in pcspkr)
----
This fixes the above issue as below.
1. Get the relative address of the symbol in .text by using
map->start.
2. Adjust the address by adding the offset of .text section
in the kernel module binary.
With this fix, perf probe -l shows lines correctly.
----
# ./perf probe -l
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c in pcspkr)

Fix to remove dot suffix (e.g. .const, .isra) from the second or latter
events which has suffix numbers.
Since the previous commit 35a23ff928b0 ("perf probe: Cut off the gcc
optimization postfixes from function name") didn't care about the suffix
numbered events, therefore we'll have an error when we add additional
events on the same dot suffix functions.
e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -f -a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3 \
-a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3

The perf_regs.c file does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS
is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get
picked up.
Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition
error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version
in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that
function.

The --max_stack option was added as an optimization to reduce processing time,
so people specifying --max-stack might get a increased processing time if
combined with synthesized callchains, but otherwise no real harm.
A warning about setting both --max_stack and the synthesized callchains max
depth seems like overkill. Amend the documentation.

- 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)

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.

- Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter)
- Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian Hunter)
- Use equivalent logic to avoid using dso->kernel. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Show proper error messages when parsing bad terms for hw/sw events. (He Kuang)
- Tracepoint event parsing improvements. (He Kuang)
- Store tracing mountpoint for better error message. (Jiri Olsa)

This patch enables config terms for tracepoint perf events. Valid terms
for tracepoint events are 'call-graph' and 'stack-size', so we can use
different callgraph settings for each event and eliminate unnecessary
overhead.
Here is an example for using different call-graph config for each
tracepoint.
$ perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_write/call-graph=fp/
-e syscalls:sys_exit_write/call-graph=no/

Show proper error message and show valid terms when wrong config terms
is specified for hw/sw type perf events.
This patch makes the original error format function formats_error_string()
more generic, which only outputs the static config terms for hw/sw perf
events, and prepends pmu formats for pmu events.
Before this patch:
$ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
After this patch:
$ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Currently, function config_term() is used for checking config terms of
all types of events, while unknown terms is not reported as an error
because pmu events have valid terms in sysfs.
But this is wrong when unknown terms are specificed to hw/sw events.
This patch Adds the config_term callback so we can use separate check
routines for each type of events.

autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or
predicted. In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags
are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT.
To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT
decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches.
Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo. The example is
also added to the Intel PT documentation. It requires autofdo
(https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5. The bubble
sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial)
amended to take the number of elements as a parameter.
$ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized
$ ./sort_optimized 30000
Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
2254 ms
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[intel-pt]
mispred-all
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000
Bubble sorting array of 3000 elements
58 ms
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.939 MB perf.data ]
$ perf inject -i perf.data -o inj --itrace=i100usle --strip
$ ./create_gcov --binary=./sort --profile=inj --gcov=sort.gcov -gcov_version=1
$ gcc-5 -O3 -fauto-profile=sort.gcov sort.c -o sort_autofdo
$ ./sort_autofdo 30000
Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
2155 ms
Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR,
but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.

Add a new option --strip which is used with --itrace to strip out
non-synthesized events. This results in a perf.data file that is
simpler for external tools to parse. In particular, this can be used to
prepare a perf.data file for consumption by autofdo.
A subsequent patch makes a change to Intel PT also to enable use with
autofdo and gives an example of that use.
