Adding header size to width computation for srcline sort entry,
because it's possible to get empty data with ':0' which set width
of 2 which is lower than width needed to display column header.

This patch adds PMU driver specific configuration to the parser
infrastructure by preceding any term with the '@' letter. As such doing
something like:
perf record -e some_event/@cfg1,@cfg2=config/ ...
will see 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' being added to the list of evsel
config terms. Token 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' are not processed in user
space and are meant to be interpreted by the PMU driver.
First the lexer/parser are supplemented with the required definitions to
recognise the driver specific configuration. From there they are simply
added to the list of event terms. The bulk of the work is done in
function "parse_events_add_pmu()" where driver config event terms are
added to a new list of driver config terms, which in turn spliced with
the event's new driver configuration list.

The hroot_in and hroot_out are roots of hierarchy trees of hist entries.
But when a hist entry is initialized by copying existing template entry,
it sometimes has non-empty tree and copies it incorrectly. This is a
problem especially when an event group is used since it creates dummy
entries from already-processed entries in other event members.

The hists__link_hierarchy() is to support hierarchy reports with an
event group. When it matches the leader event and the other members
(using hists__match_hierarchy()), it also needs to link unmatched member
entries with a dummy leader event so that it can show up in the output.

The hists__match_hierarchy() is to find matching hist entries in a
group. A matching entry has the same values for all sort keys given.
With an event group (e.g.: -e "{cycles,instructions}"), a leader event
should show other members in a group. So each entry in the leader
should be able to find its pair entries which have same values.
With hierarchy mode, it needs to search all matching children in a
hierarchy.
An example output looks like:
# Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol
# ...................... ..................................
#
25.74% 27.18% sh
19.96% 24.14% libc-2.24.so
9.55% 14.64% [.] __strcmp_sse2
1.54% 0.00% [.] __tfind
1.07% 1.13% [.] _int_malloc
...
In the above example, two overheads are shown - one for the leader and
another for the other group member. They were matched since their
command, dso and symbol have the same values.

The csets:
0ac3348e5024 ("perf tools: Recognize hugetlb mapping as anon mapping")
d7e404af115b ("perf record: Mark MAP_HUGETLB when synthesizing mmap events")
Added code conditional on MAP_HUGETLB, to make it build in older systems
where that define wasn't available. Now that we grabbed copies of
uapi/linux/mmap.h to have all those definitions in tools/, use it so
that we can support building the tools for older systems (without the
MAP_HUGETLB define in its libc headers) using new kernels that support
such maps.

The perf tools can read a cpumask file for a PMU, describing a subset of
CPUs which that PMU covers. So far this has only been used to cater for
uncore PMUs, which in practice happen to only have a single CPU
described in the mask.
Until recently, the perf tools only correctly handled cpumask containing
a single CPU, and only when monitoring in system-wide mode. For example,
prior to commit 00e727bb389359c8 ("perf stat: Balance opening and
reading events"), a mask with more than a single CPU could cause perf
stat to hang. When a CPU PMU covers a subset of CPUs, but lacks a
cpumask, perf record will fail to open events (on the cores the PMU does
not support), and gives up.
For systems with heterogeneous CPUs such as ARM big.LITTLE systems, this
presents a problem. We have a PMU for each microarchitecture (e.g. a big
PMU and a little PMU), and would like to expose a cpumask for each (so
as to allow perf record and other tools to do the right thing). However,
doing so kernel-side will cause old perf binaries to not function (e.g.
hitting the issue solved by 00e727bb389359c8), and thus commits the
cardinal sin of breaking (existing) userspace.
To address this chicken-and-egg problem, this patch adds support got a
new file, cpus, which is largely identical to the existing cpumask file.
A kernel can expose this file, knowing that new perf binaries will
correctly support it, while old perf binaries will not look for it (and
thus will not be broken).

In systems with heterogeneous CPU PMUs, it's possible for each evsel to
cover a distinct set of CPUs, and hence the cpu_map associated with each
evsel may have a distinct idx<->id mapping. Any of these may be distinct
from the evlist's cpu map.
Events can be tied to the same fd so long as they use the same per-cpu
ringbuffer (i.e. so long as they are on the same CPU). To acquire the
correct FDs, we must compare the Linux logical IDs rather than the evsel
or evlist indices.
This path adds logic to perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel to handle this,
translating IDs as required. As PMUs may cover a subset of CPUs from the
evlist, we skip the CPUs a PMU cannot handle.
Without this patch, perf record may try to mmap erroneous FDs on
heterogeneous systems, and will bail out early rather than running the
workload.

I wanted to know the hottest path through a function and figured the
branch-stack (LBR) information should be able to help out with that.
The below uses the branch-stack to create basic blocks and generate
statistics from them.
from to branch_i
* ----> *
|
| block
v
* ----> *
from to branch_i+1
The blocks are broken down into non-overlapping ranges, while tracking
if the start of each range is an entry point and/or the end of a range
is a branch.
Each block iterates all ranges it covers (while splitting where required
to exactly match the block) and increments the 'coverage' count.
For the range including the branch we increment the taken counter, as
well as the pred counter if flags.predicted.
Using these number we can find if an instruction:
- had coverage; given by:
br->coverage / br->sym->max_coverage
This metric ensures each symbol has a 100% spot, which reflects the
observation that each symbol must have a most covered/hottest
block.
- is a branch target: br->is_target && br->start == add
- for targets, how much of a branch's coverages comes from it:
target->entry / branch->coverage
- is a branch: br->is_branch && br->end == addr
- for branches, how often it was taken:
br->taken / br->coverage
after all, all execution that didn't take the branch would have
incremented the coverage and continued onward to a later branch.
- for branches, how often it was predicted:
br->pred / br->taken
The coverage percentage is used to color the address and asm sections;
for low (<1%) coverage we use NORMAL (uncolored), indicating that these
instructions are not 'important'. For high coverage (>75%) we color the
address RED.
For each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction with
information on how often it was taken and predicted.
Output looks like (sans color, which does loose a lot of the
information :/)
$ perf record --branch-filter u,any -e cycles:p ./branches 27
$ perf annotate branches

Hugetlbfs mapping should be recognized as anon mapping so user has a
chance to create /tmp/perf-<pid>.map file for symbol resolving. This
patch utilizes MAP_HUGETLB to identify hugetlb mapping.
After this patch, if perf is started before a program starts using huge
pages (so perf gets MMAP2 events from kernel), perf is able to recognize
hugetlb mapping as anon mapping.

The function prologue prepares stack and registers before executing
function logic.
When target program is compiled without optimization, function parameter
information is only valid after the prologue.
When we probe entrypc of the function, and try to record a function
parameter, it contains a garbage value.
For example:
$ vim test.c
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(int i)
{
printf("i: %d\n", i);
}
int main()
{
foo(42);
return 0;
}
$ gcc -g test.c -o test
$ objdump -dl test | less
foo():

400537: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
40053a: 48 83 ec 10 sub -bashx10,%rsp
40053e: 89 7d fc mov %edi,-0x4(%rbp)
/home/ravi/test.c:5
400541: 8b 45 fc mov -0x4(%rbp),%eax
...
...

/home/ravi/test.c:9
400558: 55 push %rbp
400559: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
/home/ravi/test.c:10

$ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_test/foo /home/ravi/test:0x0000000000000536 i=-12(%sp):s32
$ perf record -e probe_test:foo ./test
$ perf script
test 5778 [001] 4918.562027: probe_test:foo: (400536) i=0
Here variable 'i' is passed via stack which is pushed on stack at
0x40053e. But we are probing at 0x400536.
To resolve this issues, we need to probe on next instruction after
prologue. gdb and systemtap also does same thing. I've implemented this
patch based on approach systemtap has used.
After applying patch:
$ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_test/foo /home/ravi/test:0x0000000000000541 i=-4(%bp):s32
$ perf record -e probe_test:foo ./test
$ perf script
test 6300 [001] 5877.879327: probe_test:foo: (400541) i=42
No need to skip prologue for optimized case since debug info is correct
for each instructions for -O2 -g. For more details please visit:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=612253#c6
Changes in v2:
- Skipping prologue only when any ARG is either C variable, $params or
$vars.
- Probe on line(:1) may not be always possible. Recommend only address
to force probe on function entry.
Committer notes:
Testing it with 'perf trace':
# perf probe -x ./test foo i
Added new event:
probe_test:foo (on foo in /home/acme/c/test with i)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_test:foo -aR sleep 1
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_test/foo /home/acme/c/test:0x0000000000000526 i=-12(%sp):s32
# trace --no-sys --event probe_*:* ./test
i: 42
0.000 probe_test:foo:(400526) i=0)
#
After the patch:
# perf probe -d *:*
Removed event: probe_test:foo
# perf probe -x ./test foo i
Target program is compiled without optimization. Skipping prologue.
Probe on address 0x400526 to force probing at the function entry.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.
So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.
Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

We can allow aliases to be kept, but we were checking this just when
loading vmlinux files, be consistent, do it for any symbol table loading
code that calls symbol__fixup_duplicate() by making this function check
.allow_aliases instead.

Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.
Here is an example:
-----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
-----
Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and
--vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line.
This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol
and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel.
E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below
----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols
Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel
Error: Failed to add events.

The symbols in the synthesized @plt entries where not demangled before,
i.e. we could end up with entries such as:
$ perf report

Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
- 93.63% 28.89% lab_mandelbrot lab_mandelbrot [.] main

2.40% _ZNK6QImage6heightEv@plt
+ 2.14% QColor::rgb
1.94% _ZNK6QImage5widthEv@plt
1.92% cabs@plt
This patch remedies this issue by also applying demangling to the
synthesized symbols. The output for the above is now:

We need to initializa some fields (right now just a mutex) when we
allocate the per symbol annotation struct, so do it at the symbol
constructor instead of (ab)using the filter mechanism for that.
This way we remove one of the few cases we have for that symbol filter,
which will eventually led to removing it.

We have to check if the values are >= *_MAX, not just >, fix it.
From the bugzilla report:
''In file /tools/perf/util/evsel.c function __perf_evsel__hw_cache_name
it appears that there is a bug that reads beyond the end of the buffer.
The statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)" allows type to be
equal to the maximum value. Later, when statement "if
(!perf_evsel__is_cache_op_valid(type, op))" is executed, the function
can access array perf_evsel__hw_cache_stat[type] beyond the end of the
buffer.
It appears to me that the statement "if (type > PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
should be "if (type >= PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MAX)"
Bug found with Coverity and manual code review. No attempts were made to
execute the code with a maximum type value.''

Commit 73cdf0c6ea9c ("perf symbols: Record text offset in dso
to calculate objdump address") started storing the offset of
the text section for all DSOs:
if (elf_section_by_name(elf, &ehdr, &tshdr, ".text", NULL))
dso->text_offset = tshdr.sh_addr - tshdr.sh_offset;
Unfortunately this breaks debuginfo files, because we need to calculate
the offset of the text section in the associated executable file. As a
result perf annotate returns junk for all debuginfo files.
Fix this by using runtime_ss->elf which should point at the executable
when parsing a debuginfo file.

The June 2015 Intel SDM introduced IP Compression types 4 and 6. Refer
to section 36.4.2.2 Target IP (TIP) Packet - IP Compression.
Existing Intel PT packet decoder did not support type 4, and got type 6
wrong. Because type 3 and type 4 have the same number of bytes, the
packet 'count' has been changed from being the number of ip bytes to
being the type code. That allows the Intel PT decoder to correctly
decide whether to sign-extend or use the last ip. However that also
meant the code had to be adjusted in a number of places.
Currently hardware is not using the new compression types, so this fix
has no effect on existing hardware.

Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions. LEP
catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains
GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not
have LEP info.
Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for
ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall
back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe
will never hit.
For example:
$ objdump -d vmlinux
...
do_sys_open():
c0000000002eb4a0: e8 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,232
c0000000002eb4a4: 60 00 42 38 addi r2,r2,96
c0000000002eb4a8: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
c0000000002eb4ac: d0 ff 41 fb std r26,-48(r1)
$ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904
$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string
For second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via
LEP, probe won't hit.
$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ]
To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf
decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when
it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset
form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases.
After patch:
$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string
$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]
