The 'P' will cause the event to get maximum possible detected precise
level.
Following record:
$ perf record -e cycles:P ...

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

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.

Commit d49e46950772 ("perf evsel: Add a backpointer to the evlist a
evsel is in") updated perf_evlist__add() but not
perf_evlist__splice_list_tail().
This illustrates that it is better if perf_evlist__splice_list_tail()
calls perf_evlist__add() instead of duplicating the logic, so do that.
This will also simplify a subsequent fix for propagating maps.

Propagate error info from tp_format via ERR_PTR to get it all the way
down to the parse-event.c tracepoint adding routines. Following
functions now return pointer with encoded error:
- tp_format
- trace_event__tp_format
- perf_evsel__newtp_idx
- perf_evsel__newtp
This affects several other places in perf, that cannot use pointer check
anymore, but must utilize the err.h interface, when getting error
information from above functions list.

This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per
event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the
perf.data.
Here is an example.
perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1
perf evlist -v
cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112,
config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type:

inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all:

Now perf can set per-event value of time and (sampling) period. But I
guess most users like me just want to set frequency rather than period.
So add the 'freq' term in the event parser.

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.
One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.
The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:
With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...
With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...
This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:
$ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...
I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).
Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.
Before this patch, when doing something like:
# perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>
One could easily get result like this:
# /tmp/perf report --stdio
...
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... .................. ....................
#
99.99% perf libpthread-2.18.so [.] __write_nocancel
0.01% ls libc-2.18.so [.] write
0.01% sshd libc-2.18.so [.] write
...
Where most events are generated by perf itself.
A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:
# cat << EOF > ./tmp
> #!/bin/sh
> exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
> EOF
# chmod a+x ./tmp
# ./tmp
However, doing so is user unfriendly.
This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.
To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at
Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing
multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add
'--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one.
For example:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
[1] 464
# perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio | tee
...
# Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
# Event count (approx.): 2092
...
# Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
# Event count (approx.): 2
...
In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and
there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'.
This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and
apply filter on all events between two boundary marks.
After applying this patch:
# perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio | tee
...
# Samples: 1 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
# Event count (approx.): 1
...
# Samples: 2 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
# Event count (approx.): 2
...

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:
struct parse_events_error {
int idx;
char *str;
char *help;
};
where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.
The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:
$ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
\___ unknown tracepoint
...
$ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
...
$ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
\___ parser error
...
The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

It's rather strange to be checking the debugfs MAGIC number for the
tracing directory. A system admin may want to have a custom set of
events to trace and it should be allowed to let the admin make a temp
file (even for tracing virtual boxes, this is useful).
Also with the coming tracefs, the files may not even be under debugfs,
so checking the debugfs MAGIC number is pointless.

There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR
cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style
format as two events.
The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in
known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME
or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these
information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events.
The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime.
Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as
"a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and
"stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.

This reverts commit 50e200f07948 ("perf tools: Default to cpu// for

The fixup cannot handle the case that
new style format(which without //) mixed with
other different formats.
For example,
group events with new style format: {mem-stores,mem-loads}
some hardware event + new style event: cycles,mem-loads
Cache event + new style event: LLC-loads,mem-loads
Raw event + new style event:
cpu/event=0xc8,umask=0x08/,mem-loads
old style event and new stytle mixture: mem-stores,cpu/mem-loads/

Passing pointers to alias modifiers 'unit' and 'scale' isn't very
future-proof since if we add more modifiers to the list we'll end up
passing more arguments.
Instead wrap everything up in a struct perf_pmu_info, which can easily
be expanded when additional alias modifiers are necessary in the future.

This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for
example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify:
intel_pt//
which will be the same as:
intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/
meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return
compression'.
An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to
overwrite the default values. That has meant changing the logic so that
a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form:
pmu//
which is effectively the same as:
pmu/config=0/
This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU.
Further explanation extracted from lkml thread:
Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist.
Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would
not know how to decode them.
Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'.
It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older
versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot
turn it on by default.
It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by
default.
The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.
