git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files
in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different
hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do:
perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation. (He Kuang)
- Fix crash in build_id_cache__kallsyms_path(), recent regression (Wang Nan)
Infrastructure changes:
- Make tools/lib/bpf use the IS_ERR return facility consistently and also stop
using the _get_ term for non-reference count methods (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf config' refactorings (Taeung Song)

For local libunwind, it uses the fixed methods to convert register id
according to the host platform, but in remote libunwind, this convert
function should be the one for remote architecture. This patch changes
the fixed name to macro and code for each remote platform can be
compiled indivadually.

Currently, 'perf script' uses host unwind methods to parse perf.data
callchain info without taking the target architecture into account, i.e.
assuming the perf.data file was generated on the same machine where the
analysis is being performed. So we get wrong result without any warnings
when unwinding callchains of x86(32-bit) on x86(64-bit) machine.
This patch adds an extra step that checks the target platform before
assigning unwind methods. In later patches in this series, we can use
this info to assign the right unwind methods for supported platforms.
Committer note:
After fixing it to register the local unwinder for live mode tools
('perf trace', 'perf top'), i.e. tools that don't use a perf.data file,
it works as intended and passes the 'perf test unwind' test:
# perf trace -e nanosleep --call dwarf usleep 1
0.328 ( 0.058 ms): usleep/11115 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7fff083fa480) = 0

To determine the libunwind methods to use, we should get the
32bit/64bit information from maps of a thread. When a thread is newly
created, the information is not prepared. This patch moves
unwind__prepare_access() into thread__insert_map() so we can get the
information we need from maps. Meanwhile, let thread__insert_map()
return value and show messages on error.

Currently, libunwind operations are fixed, and they are chosen according
to the host architecture. This will lead to a problem that if a thread
is run as x86_32 on a x86_64 machine, perf will use libunwind methods
for x86_64 to parse the callchain and get wrong results.
This patch changes the fixed methods of libunwind operations to be
thread/map related, and each thread can have individual libunwind
operations. Local libunwind methods are registered as default value.

Currently, the type of thread->addr_space is unw_addr_space_t, which is
a pointer defined in libunwind headers. For local libunwind, we can
simple include "libunwind.h", but for remote libunwind, the header file
is depends on the target libunwind platform. This patch uses 'void *'
instead to decouple the dependence on libunwind.

$(sysconfdir)/perfconfig).

Because of die() at perf_parse_file() a config set was freed in
collect_config(), if failed. But it is natural to free a config set
after collect_config() is done when some problems happened.
So, in case of failure, lastly free a config set at perf_config_set__new()
instead of freeing the config set in collect_config().

To try to, over time, consistently use the IS_ERR() interface instead of
using two return values, i.e. the integer return value for an error and
the pointer address to return the bpf_map->priv pointer.
Also rename it to bpf__priv(), to leave the "get" term for reference
counting.
Noticed while working on using BPF for collecting non-integer syscall
argument payloads (struct sockaddr in calls such as connect(), for
instance), where we need to use BPF maps and thus generalise
bpf__setup_stdout() to connect bpf_output events with maps in a bpf
proggie.

If a config file has wrong key-value pairs, the perf process will be
forcibly terminated by die() at perf_parse_file() called by
perf_config() so terminal settings can be crushed because of unusual
termination.
For example:
If user config file has a wrong value 'red;default' instead of a normal
value like 'red, default' for a key 'colors.top',
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[colors]
medium = red;default # wrong value
and if running sub-command 'top',
# perf top
perf process is dead by force and terminal setting is broken
with a messge like below.
Fatal: bad config file line 2 in /root/.perfconfig
So fix it.
If perf_config() can return on failure without calling die()
at perf_parse_file(), this problem can be solved.
And if a config file has wrong values, show the error message
and then use default config values instead of wrong config values.

Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat
TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles
idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not
reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects.
This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to
--transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using
standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters
(one fixed counter)
The result are four metrics:
FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring
that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level.
The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This
implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without
multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is
available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools)
The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge,
and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic
metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs.
TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to
out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of
them):
topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline
topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline
topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired
topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend
topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery
from misspeculation
These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:
FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.
Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is
specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel.
Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for
all events containing -.
The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches.
v2: Use standard sysctl read function.
v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/
v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown.
v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode
v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics
v7: Allow combining with -d
v8: Remove --single-thread again
v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_.
v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better
Paste intro into commit description.

Out of perf_evsel__intval(), that requires passing the variable name,
that will then be searched in the list of tracepoint variables for the
given evsel.
In cases such as syscall file descriptor ("fd") tracking, this is
wasteful, we need just to use perf_evsel__field() and cache the
format_field.

This allows (with a previous change to the perf error return ABI) for
calling out in userspace the exact reason for perf record failing
when PMU doesn't support overflow interrupts.
Note that this needs to be put ahead of existing precise_ip check as
that gets hit otherwise for the sampling fail case as well.

Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid
to store corresponding elf binary.
This also stores vdso in buildid/vdso, kallsyms in buildid/kallsyms.
Note that the existing caches are not updated until user adds
or updates the cache. Anyway, if there is the old style build-id
cache it falls back to use it. (IOW, it is backward compatible)

Introduce filename__readable to check readability by opening the file
directly. Since the access(R_OK) just checks the readability based on
real UID/GID, it is ignored that the effective UID/GID and capabilities
for some special file (e.g. /proc/kcore).
filename__readable() directly opens given file with O_RDONLY so that the
kernel checks it by effective UID/GID and capabilities.

evlist->mmap[i]->refcnt could be 0 if an evlist has no evsel or if all
evsels don't match the evlist during mmap. For example, when all evsels
are overwritable but the evlist itself is normal. To avoid crashing,
perf should check 'base' pointer before checking refcnt, and raise bug
only when base is not NULL.

There's no need to receive events from overwritable ring buffer.
Instead, perf should make them run in background until some external
event of interest takes place. This patch makes ignores normal events from
overwrite evlists.
Overwritable events must be mapped readonly and backward, so if evlist
and evsel doesn't match (evsel->overwrite is true but either evlist is
read/write or evlist is not backward, and vice versa), skip mapping it.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- We should not use the current value of the kernel.perf_event_max_stack as the
default value for --max-stack in tools that can process perf.data files, they
will only match if that sysctl wasn't changed from its default value at the
time the perf.data file was recorded, fix it.
This fixes a bug where a 'perf record -a --call-graph dwarf ; perf report'
produces a glibc invalid free backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Provide a better warning when running 'perf trace' on a system where the
kernel.kptr_restrict is set to 1, similar to the one produced by 'perf record',
noticed on ubuntu 16.04 where this is the default kptr_restrict setting.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix ordering of instructions in the annotation code, noticed when annotating
ARM binaries, now that table is auto-ordered at first use, to avoid more such
problems (Chris Ryder)
- Set buildid dir under symfs when --symfs is provided (He Kuang)
