Linus reported that sometimes 'perf report -s symbol' exits without any
message on TUI. David and Jiri found that it's because it failed to add
a hist entry due to an invalid symbol length.
It turns out that sorting by symbol (address) was broken since it only
compares symbol addresses. The symbol address is a relative address
within a dso thus just checking its address can result in merging
unrelated symbols together. Fix it by checking dso before comparing
symbol address.

Currently the srcline sort key compares ip rather than srcline info. I
guess this was due to a performance reason to run external addr2line
utility. Now we have implemented the functionality inside, use the
srcline info when comparing hist entries.
Also constantly print "??:0" string for unknown srcline rather than
printing ip.

This is a partial revert of Namhyung's patch
afab87b91f3f331d55664172dad8e476e6ffca9d
perf sort: Separate out memory-specific sort keys
He wrote
For global/local weights, I'm not entirely sure to place them into the
memory dimension. But it's the only user at this time.
Well TSX is another (in fact the original) user of the flags, and it
needs them to be common. So move local/global weight back to the common
sort keys.

For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented
with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation
is dominated by the different callchains within that function. By
ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the
function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls.
For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are
scattered across the tree:
$ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
22.03% ruby [.] gc_mark
--- gc_mark
|--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue
| st_foreach
| gc_mark_children
| |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark
| | rb_vm_mark
| | gc_mark_children
| | gc_marks
| | |--99.00%-- garbage_collect
If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced:
$ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
72.92% ruby [.] garbage_collect
--- garbage_collect
vm_xmalloc
|--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc
| st_insert2
| rb_hash_aset
| |--98.45%-- features_index_add
| | rb_provide_feature

functions to enable profiling of memory accesses.
The following sorting orders are added:
- symbol_daddr: data address symbol (or raw address)
- dso_daddr: data address shared object
- locked: access uses locked transaction
- tlb : TLB access
- mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...)
- snoop: access snoop mode

Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols between
two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort keys. Those
functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless since it gets
over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a start address of
the symbol. So just get rid of them.
This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks since
it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch address.
However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway.
Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp().

Current perf report gets segmentation fault when a branch stack specific
sort key is provided by --sort option to a perf.data file which contains
no branch infomation. It's because those sort keys reference branch
info of a hist entry unconditionally. Maybe we can change it checks
whether such branch info is valid or not. But if the branch stacks are
not recorded, it'd be nop. Thus it'd be better to make those keys are
unselectable.
This patch separates those keys to a different dimension array, so that
if user passes such a key to a file which has no branch stack will get
following message rather than a segfault.

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored
__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.
The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

The repsep_snprintf function was still using standalone field_sep, which
not even set anymore.
Replacing it with 'symbol_conf.field_sep'.

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:
- New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
the tooling side, on CPUs that support it. (modern x86 Intel CPUs
with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)
This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
regular, function histogram centric profiles.
The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
looks like this in perf report:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy
$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
52.34% [.] main [.] f1
24.04% [.] f1 [.] f3
23.60% [.] f1 [.] f2
0.01% [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn [k] _IO_file_overflow
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
0.01% [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal [k] strchrnul
0.01% [k] __printf [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
0.01% [k] main [k] __printf
This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e. the most likely taken
branches in the system. "branches" can also include function calls
and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
calls, traps, interrupts, etc.
This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
support in perf report.
- Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
improvements.
- Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:
perf top -p 21483,21485
perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
perf record -p 21483,21485
- Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
report, etc. For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.
- Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
generic facility:
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
...
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
static_key_slow_inc();
...
The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
little impact to the likely code path as possible. the
static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.
This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
usage and fast/slow cost patterns.
- SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.
- Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
better, etc.
- Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
and a corner case bugfix.
- Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).
- Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.
- 'perf bench' improvements
- ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
these features possible. And, as usual this list is incomplete as
there were also lots of other improvements

I have a workload where perf top scribbles over the stack and we SEGV.
What makes it interesting is that an snprintf is causing this.
The workload is a c++ gem that has method names over 3000 characters
long, but snprintf is designed to avoid overrunning buffers. So what
went wrong?
The problem is we assume snprintf returns the number of characters
written:
ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "[%c] ", self->level);
...
ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "%s", self->ms.sym->name);
Unfortunately this is not how snprintf works. snprintf returns the
number of characters that would have been written if there was enough
space. In the above case, if the first snprintf returns a value larger
than size, we pass a negative size into the second snprintf and happily
scribble over the stack. If you have 3000 character c++ methods thats a
lot of stack to trample.
This patch fixes repsep_snprintf by clamping the value at size - 1 which
is the maximum snprintf can write before adding the NULL terminator.
I get the sinking feeling that there are a lot of other uses of snprintf
that have this same bug, we should audit them all.

This patch enhances perf report to auto-detect when the
perf.data file contains samples with branch stacks. That way it
is not necessary to use the -b option.
To force branch view mode to off, simply use --no-branch-stack.

I took a profile that suggested 60% of total CPU time was in the
hypervisor:
...
60.20% [H] 0x33d43c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
Using perf stat to get the user/kernel/hypervisor breakdown contradicted
this.
The problem is we merge all unresolved samples into the one unknown
bucket. If add a comparison by sample type to sort__sym_cmp we get the
real picture:
...
57.11% [.] 0x80fbf63c
4.43% [k] ._spin_lock_irqsave
1.07% [k] ._spin_lock
0.65% [H] 0x33d43c
So it was almost all userspace, not hypervisor as the initial profile
suggested.
I found another issue while adding this. Symbol sorting sometimes shows
multiple entries for the unknown bucket:
...
16.65% [.] 0x6cd3a8
7.25% [.] 0x422460
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.82% [.] 0x532908
2.64% [.] 0x36b538
0.94% [H] 0x8000000000e132a4
0.82% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0
This happens because we aren't consistent with our sorting. On
one hand we check to see if both symbols match and for two unresolved
samples sym is NULL so we match:
if (left->ms.sym == right->ms.sym)
return 0;
On the other hand we use sample IP for unresolved samples when
comparing against a symbol:
ip_l = left->ms.sym ? left->ms.sym->start : left->ip;
ip_r = right->ms.sym ? right->ms.sym->start : right->ip;
This means unresolved samples end up spread across the rbtree and we
can't merge them all.
If we use cmp_null all unresolved samples will end up in the one bucket
and the output makes more sense:
...
39.12% [.] 0x36b538
5.37% [.] yylex
4.79% [.] malloc
4.78% [.] _int_malloc
4.03% [.] _int_free
3.95% [.] hash_source_code_string
2.26% [H] 0x800000000000e8b0

So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
if we request a parent filter (-p foo).
We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
"-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
parent.

In the event that a DSO has not been identified, just print out [unknown]
instead of the instruction pointer as we previously were doing, which is pretty
meaningless for a shared object (at least to the users perspective).
The IP we print out is fairly meaningless in general anyway - it's just one
(the first) of the many addresses that were lumped together as unidentified,
and could span many shared objects and symbols. In reality if we see this
[unknown] output then the report -D output is going to be more useful anyway as
we can see all the different address that it represents.
If we are printing the symbols we are still going to see this IP in that column
anyway since they shouldn't resolve either.
This patch also changes the symbol address printouts so that they print out 0x
before the address, are left aligned, and changes the %L format string (which
relies on a glibc bug) to %ll.
