objdump output can contain repeated bytes. At the moment test reads all
output sequentially, assuming each address is represented in output only
once:
ffffffff8164efb3 <retint_swapgs+0x9>:
ffffffff8164efb3: c1 5d 00 eb rcrl $0xeb,0x0(%rbp)
ffffffff8164efb7: 00 4c 8b 5c add %cl,0x5c(%rbx,%rcx,4)

ffffffff8164efbd: 4c 8b 54 24 38 mov 0x38(%rsp),%r10
Store objdump output to buffer according to offset calculated from
address on each line.

The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available
and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it.
Before:
# perf record usleep 1
# perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
# nrcpus online : 4
# nrcpus avail : 4
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
# perf record usleep 1
# perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
# nrcpus online : 4
# nrcpus avail : 3
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# perf record usleep 1
# perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
# nrcpus online : 4
# nrcpus avail : 2
After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online:
# perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
# nrcpus online : 2
# nrcpus avail : 4
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
# perf record usleep 1
# perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
# nrcpus online : 3
# nrcpus avail : 4
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# perf record usleep 1
# perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
# nrcpus online : 4

The del_perf_probe_events() does 2 things:
1. find existing events which match to filter
2. delete such trace events from kernel
But sometimes we need to do something with the trace events. So split
the funtion into two, so that it can access intermediate trace events
name using strlist if needed.

Also it combines the output if more than one event is added.
Before:

Added new event:
probe:do_fork (on do_fork)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1
Added new events:
probe:do_exit (on do_exit)
probe:do_exit_1 (on do_exit)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

This patch drops struct __event_package structure. Instead, it adds a
'struct trace_probe_event' pointer to 'struct perf_probe_event'.
The trace_probe_event information gives further patches a chance to
access actual probe points and actual arguments.
Using them, 'perf probe' can get the whole list of added probes and
print them at once.
Other users like the upcoming bpf_loader will be able to attach one bpf
program to different probing points of an inline function (which has
multiple probing points) and glob functions.
Moreover, by reading the arguments information, bpf code for reading
those arguments can be generated.

Add support for selecting and processing PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events for
use by Intel PT. If they are available, they will be used in preference
to sched_switch events.
This enables an unprivileged user to trace multi-threaded or
multi-process workloads with any level of perf_event_paranoid. However
it depends on kernel support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-threaded workload will decode
without error but all the data will be attributed to the main thread.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-process workload will result in
decoder errors because the decoder will not know which executable is
executing.

The MPX instructions are presently not described in the SDM
opcode maps, and there are not encoding characters for bnd
registers, address method or operand type. So the kernel
opcode map is using 'Gv' for bnd registers and 'Ev' for
everything else. That is fine because the instruction
decoder does not use that information anyway, except as
an indication that there is a ModR/M byte.
Nevertheless, in some cases the 'Gv' and 'Ev' are the wrong
way around, BNDLDX and BNDSTX have 2 operands not 3, and it
wouldn't hurt to identify the mandatory prefixes.
This has no effect on the decoding of valid instructions,
but the addition of the mandatory prefixes will cause some
invalid instructions to error out that wouldn't have
previously.
Note that perf tools has a copy of the instruction decoder
and provides a test for new instructions which includes MPX
instructions e.g.
$ perf test "x86 ins"
39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok
Or to see the details:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins"

Add a new test titled:
Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions
The purpose of this test is to check the instruction decoder after new
instructions have been added. Initially, MPX instructions are tested
which are already supported, but the definitions in x86-opcode-map.txt
will be tweaked in a subsequent patch, after which this test can be run
to verify those changes.
The data for the test comes from assembly language instructions in
insn-x86-dat-src.c which is converted into bytes by the scripts
gen-insn-x86-dat.sh and gen-insn-x86-dat.awk, and included into the test
program insn-x86.c as insn-x86-dat-32.c and insn-x86-dat-64.c.
The conversion is not done as part of the perf tools build because the
test data must be under (git) change control in order for the test to be
repeatably-correct. Also it may require a recent version of binutils.

perf tools has a copy of the x86 instruction decoder used by the kernel.
The expectation is that the copy will be kept more-or-less in-synch with
the kernel version. Consequently it is helpful to know if there are
differences.
This patch adds a check into the perf tools build so that a diff is done
on the sources, and a warning is printed if they are different. Note
that the warning is not fatal and the build continues as normal.
The check is done as part of building the instruction decoder, so, like
a compiler warning, it is not seen unless the instruction decoder has to
be re-compiled. e.g.
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
$ echo "/* blah */" >> tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/inat_types.h
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null
Warning: Intel PT: x86 instruction decoder differs from kernel
$ make -C tools/perf >/dev/null

In a couple of cases the 'comm' member of 'union event' has been used
instead of the correct member ('fork') when processing exit events.
In the cases where it has been used incorrectly, only the 'pid' and
'tid' are affected. The 'pid' value would be correct anyway because it
is in the same position in 'comm' and 'fork' events, but the 'tid' would
have been incorrectly assigned from 'ppid'.
However, for exit events, the kernel puts the current task in the 'ppid'
and 'ttid' which is the same as the exiting task. That is 'ppid' ==
'pid' and if the task is not multi-threaded, 'pid' == 'tid' i.e. the
data goes wrong only when tracing multi-threaded programs.
It is hard to find an example of how this would produce an error in
practice. There are 3 occurences of the fix:
1. perf script is only affected if !sample_id_all which only happens on
old kernels.
2. intel_pt is only affected when decoding without timestamps
and would probably still decode correctly - the exit event is
only used to flush out data which anyway gets flushed at the
end of the session
3. intel_bts also uses the exit event to flush data which
would probably not cause errors as it would get flushed at
the end of the session instead

Since 3b3eb0445 running perf stat on a system without
backend-stalled-cycles spits out ugly warnings by default.
Since that is quite common, make the message a debug message only.
We know anyways that the counter wasn't read by the normal <unsupported>

This patch stores the cpu socket_id and core_id in a perf.data header,
and reads them into the perf_env struct when processing perf.data files.
The changes modifies the CPU_TOPOLOGY section, making sure it is
backward/forward compatible.
The patch checks the section size before reading the core and socket ids.
It never reads data crossing the section boundary. An old perf binary
without this patch can also correctly read the perf.data from a new perf
with this patch.
Because the new info is added at the end of the cpu_topology section, an
old perf tool ignores the extra data.
Examples:
1. New perf with this patch read perf.data from an old perf without the
patch:
$ perf_new report -i perf_old.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# Core ID and Socket ID information is not available
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29315548 kB
# node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
......
2. Old perf without the patch reads perf.data from a new perf with the
patch:
$ perf_old report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29190932 kB
# node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
......
3. New perf read new perf.data:
$ perf_new report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# CPU 0: Core ID 0, Socket ID 0
# CPU 1: Core ID 1, Socket ID 0
......
# CPU 61: Core ID 10, Socket ID 1
# CPU 62: Core ID 11, Socket ID 1
# CPU 63: Core ID 16, Socket ID 1
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29190932 kB

This patch copies filter.h from include/linux/kernel.h to
tools/include/linux/filter.h to enable other libraries to use macros in it,
like libbpf which will be introduced by further patches.
Currently, the filter.h copy only contains the useful macros needed by
libbpf for not introducing too much dependence.
tools/perf/MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.
One change:
The 'imm' field of BPF_EMIT_CALL becomes ((FUNC) - BPF_FUNC_unspec) to
suit user space code generator.

When profiling the kernel with the 'srcfile' sort key it's common to
"get stuck" in include. For example a lot of code uses current or other
inlines, so they get accounted to some random include file. This is not
very useful as a high level categorization.
For example just profiling the idle loop usually shows mostly inlines,
so you never see the actual cpuidle file.
This patch changes the 'srcfile' sort key to always unwind the inline
stack using BFD/DWARF. So we always account to the base function that
called the inline.
In a few cases include is still shown (for example for MSR accesses),
but that is because they get inlining expanded as part of assigning to a
global function pointer. For the majority it works fine though.
v2: Use simpler while loop. Add maximum iteration count.

This patch makes perf compile on non x86 platforms by defining a weak
symbol for sample_reg_masks[] in util/perf_regs.c.
The patch also moves the REG() and REG_END() macros into the
util/per_regs.h header file. The macros are renamed to
SMPL_REG/SMPL_REG_END to avoid clashes with other header files.

This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.
The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.
With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.
To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:
$ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....
To record any possible registers:
$ perf record -I .....
$ perf report --intr-regs ...
To display the register, one can use perf report -D
To list the available registers:
$ perf record --intr-regs=\?
available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

Before this patch there's no way to connect a loaded bpf object
to its source file. However, during applying perf's '--filter' to BPF
object, without this connection makes things harder, because perf loads
all programs together, but '--filter' setting is for each object.
The API of bpf_object__open_buffer() is changed to allow passing a name.
Fortunately, at this time there's only one user of it (perf test LLVM),
so we change it together.

This patch creates a new script (compaction-times) to report time
spent in mm compaction. It is possible to report times in nanoseconds
(default) or microseconds (-u).
The option -p will break down results by process id, -pv will further
decompose by each compaction entry/exit.
For each compaction entry/exit what is reported is controlled by the
options:
-t report only timing
-m report migration stats
-ms report migration scanner stats
-fs report free scanner stats
The default is to report all.
Entries may be further filtered by pid, pid-range or comm (regex).
The script is useful when analysing workloads that compact memory. The
most common example will be THP allocations on systems with a lot of
uptime that has fragmented memory.
This is an example of using the script to analyse a thpscale from
mmtests which deliberately fragments memory and allocates THP in 4
separate threads
