Using the same keystrokes as vim:
/ = search forward
n = search next forward/backwards
? = search backwards
Still needs to continue from start/end when not found, use HOME + / or
END + ? for now.
At some point we need a keybindings file to support ones favourite mode,
erm, like EMACS, etc.
Also we now need a 'h' window with all these keybindings.

This patch prints the number of samples and the count of performance
events separately.
This allows comparing performance of different applications with each
other.
Previously, the sample count was displayed against an 'Events:' heading.
With this patch, the header now reads (for example):
Samples: 5K of event 'instructions'
Event count (approx.): 2993026545
The patch covers both the stdio and the browser interface.

Now it is possible to press ENTER or -> (right arrow) on jump
instructions to navigate to the offset it points to.
More work needed to support <- to go back, i.e. a jump history.
This is done just like the callq case, i.e. parsing objdump output
lines, but should move to use Masami's disassembler at some point.

The lines in objdump have this format:
ffffffff8126543f: jne ffffffff81265494 <__list_del_entry+0x84>
<SNIP>
ffffffff81265494: mov %rdi,%rcx
Since we now have objdump_line allowing tools to print the offset
independently from the rest of the line, allow toggling a view where
just offsets from the start of the function are shown:
2f: jne ffffffff81265494 <__list_del_entry+0x84>
<SNIP>
84: mov %rdi,%rcx
The offset view will be the default as soon as operations that deal with
offsets in a function are handled accodringly, i.e. in offset view the
above will become:
2f: jne __list_del_entry+0x84
<SNIP>
84: mov %rdi,%rcx
And then a follow up patch will allow navigating thru jumps, just like
we handle callq instructions.

This routine was checking only if the provided address was after
sym->end, not if it was before sym->start.
Fix that by checking for both and return in both cases -ERANGE, so that
tools can communicate this to the user properly, or if they chose so, to
abort.
This problem was reported previously but the fixes involved either doing
what was being done for the > end case, i.e. silently drop the sample,
returning 0, or aborting at this function, which is in a lib (or better,
is slated to be at some point) and shouldn't abort.
The 'report' tool already checks this value and uses pr_debug to warn
the user.
This patch makes the 'top' tool check it too and warn once per map where
such range problem takes place.

If there's an event with no samples in data file, the perf report
command can segfault after entering the event details menu.
Following steps reproduce the issue:
# ./perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load,syscalls:sys_enter_mmap ls
# ./perf report
# enter '0 syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load' menu
# pres ENTER twice
Above steps are valid assuming ls wont run kexec.. ;)
The check for sellection to be NULL is missing. The fix makes sure it's
being check. Above steps now endup with menu being displayed allowing
'Exit' as the only option.

When a process exec()'s, all the maps are retired, but we keep the hist
entries around which hold references to those outdated maps.
If the same library gets mapped in for which we have hist entries, a new
map will be created. But when we take a perf entry hit within that map,
we'll find the existing hist entry with the older map.
This causes symbol translations to be done incorrectly. For example,
the perf entry processing will lookup the correct uptodate map entry and
use that to calculate the symbol and DSO relative address. But later
when we update the histogram we'll translate the address using the
outdated map file instead leading to conditions such as out-of-range
offsets in symbol__inc_addr_samples().
Therefore, update the map of the hist_entry dynamically at lookup/
creation time.

We were only decaying the entries for the offsets that were associated
with an objdump line.
That way, when we accrued the whole instruction addr range, more than
100% was appearing in some cases in the live annotation TUI.
Fix it by not traversing the source code line at all, just iterate thru
the complete addr range decaying each one.

In perf_event__parse_sample(), the array variable was not incremented
by the amount of data used by the raw_data.
That was okay until we added PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK which depends on
the array variable pointing to the beginning of the branch stack data.
But that was not the case if branch stack was combined with raw mode
sampling. That led to bogus branch stack addresses and count.
The bug would show up with:
$ perf record -R -b foo
This patch fixes the problem by correctly moving the array pointer
forward for RAW samples.

The callchain stdio mode display was written using a sorted by symbol
report. In this mode we have only one callchain root per hist so we
forgot to handle cases where we have multiple callchain root, as in per
dso sorting for example.
Fix this by handling these roots like any other branch, with the hist as
the parent.
Before:
1.97% libpthread-2.12.1.so
|
--- __libc_write
create_worker
bench_sched_messaging
cmd_bench
run_builtin
main
__libc_start_main
|
--- __libc_read
create_worker
bench_sched_messaging
cmd_bench
run_builtin

__libc_start_main
After:

Single roots keep their entry without percentage because they have
the same overhead than the hist they refer to. ie: 100% in fractal
mode and the percentage of the hist in graph mode:

The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it
is attached to.
The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in
single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last
one.
Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the
modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to
catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

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

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

This patch adds a simple GTK2-based browser to 'perf report' that's
based on the TTY-based browser in builtin-report.c.
To launch "perf report" using the new GTK interface just type:
$ perf report --gtk
The interface is somewhat limited in features at the moment:
- No callgraph support
- No KVM guest profiling support
- No color coding for percentages
- No sorting from the UI
- ..and many, many more!
That said, I think this patch a reasonable start to build future features on.

When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task/cpu
was specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec.
However they wouldn't be counted at all since only group leader will
be enabled on exec actually.
In contrast to perf stat, perf record doesn't have a real problem
as it enables all the event before proceeding. But it needs to be
fixed anyway IMHO.

However they are not counted at all since only group leader will be

Added new event rule to the event definition grammar:
event_def: event_pmu |
...
event_pmu: PE_NAME '/' event_config '/'
Using this rule, event could be now specified like:
cpu/config=1,config1=2,config2=3/u
where pmu name 'cpu' is looked up via following path:
${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}
and config options are bound to the pmu's format definiton:
${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format
The hardcoded config options still stays and have precedence
over any format field defined with same name.

Adding pmu object which provides interface to pmu's sysfs
event format definition located at:
${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format
Following interface is exported:
struct perf_pmu* perf_pmu__find(char *name);
- this function returns pmu object, which is then
passed as a handle to other interface functions
int perf_pmu__config(struct perf_pmu *pmu, struct perf_event_attr *attr,
struct list_head *head_terms);
- this function configures perf_event_attr struct based
on pmu's format definitions and config terms data,
containined in head_terms list.
Parser generator is used to retrive the pmu's format definition.
The generated parser is part of the patch. Added makefile rule
'pmu-parser' to generate the parser code out of the bison/flex
sources.
Added builtin test 'Test perf pmu format parsing', which could
be run like:

Adding a new rule to the event grammar to be able to specify
values of additional attributes of symbolic event.
The new syntax for event symbolic definition is:
event_legacy_symbol: PE_NAME_SYM '/' event_config '/' |
PE_NAME_SYM sep_slash_dc
event_config: event_config ',' event_term | event_term
event_term: PE_NAME '=' PE_NAME |
PE_NAME '=' PE_VALUE
PE_NAME
sep_slash_dc: '/' | ':' |
At the moment the config options are hardcoded to be used for legacy
symbol events to define several perf_event_attr fields. It is:
'config' to define perf_event_attr::config
'config1' to define perf_event_attr::config1
'config2' to define perf_event_attr::config2
'period' to define perf_event_attr::sample_period
Legacy events could be now specified as:
cycles/period=100000/
If term is specified without the value assignment, then 1 is
assigned by default.

On ancient systems I get this build failure:
util/../../../arch/x86/include/asm/unistd.h:67:29: error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory
In file included from util/cache.h:7,

util/../perf.h: In function ‘sys_perf_event_open’:In file included from util/../perf.h:16
perf.h:170: error: ‘__NR_perf_event_open’ undeclared (first use in this function)
The reason is that this old system does not have the split
unistd.h headers yet, from which to pick up the syscall
definitions.
Add the syscall numbers to the already existing i386 and x86_64
blocks in perf.h, and also provide empty include file stubs.
With this patch perf builds and works fine on 5 years old
user-space as well.

Several places were expecting that the value returned was the number of
characters printed, not what would be printed if there was space.
Fix it by using the scnprintf and vscnprintf variants we inherited from
the kernel sources.
Some corner cases where the number of printed characters were not
accounted were fixed too.
