The --all-cgroups option is to enable cgroup profiling support.  It
tells kernel to record CGROUP events in the ring buffer so that perf
report can identify task/cgroup association later.

Synthesize cgroup events by iterating cgroup filesystem directories.
The cgroup event only saves the portion of cgroup path after the mount
point and the cgroup id (which actually is a file handle).

<title>perf record: Adapt affinity to machines with #CPUs &gt; 1K</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8384a2600c7ddfc875f64e160d8b423aca4e203a</id>
<content type='text'>
Use struct mmap_cpu_mask type for the tool's thread and mmap data
buffers to overcome current 1024 CPUs mask size limitation of cpu_set_t
type.

Currently glibc's cpu_set_t type has an internal mask size limit of 1024
CPUs.

Moving to the 'struct mmap_cpu_mask' type allows overcoming that limit.

The tools bitmap API is used to manipulate objects of 'struct mmap_cpu_mask'
type.

Committer notes:

To print the 'nbits' struct member we must use %zd, since it is a
size_t, this fixes the build in some toolchains/arches.

<title>perf stat: Use affinity for opening events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4804e0111662d7d89edf4e767a64c6f7e4778bb1</id>
<content type='text'>
Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.

This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.

We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.

It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly.  Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs:

  % time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
  ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
   42.75    4.050910          67     60046       110 perf_event_open

After:

   26.86    0.944396          16     58069       110 perf_event_open

(the number changes slightly because the weak group retries
work differently and the test case relies on weak groups)

Committer notes:

Added one of the hunks in a patch provided by Andi after I noticed that
the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.

<content type='text'>
Add a 'perf record' option '--aux-sample' to request AUX area sampling.
AUX area sampling uses an overwriting buffer much like snapshot mode, so
adjust the AUX buffer mmapping accordingly. To make it easy to queue
samples for decoding, synthesize an ID index.

<content type='text'>
At the end of a 'perf record' session, by default, we'll process all
samples and populate the threads, maps, etc so as to find out which of
the DSOs got samples, to reduce the size of the build-id table we'll
add to the perf.data headers.

But we don't need to process the PERF_RECORD_MMAP events synthesized
for the kernel modules, as we have those already via
perf_session__create_kernel_maps(), so add mmap/mmap2 handlers that
first look at event-&gt;header.misc to see if the event is for a user map,
bailing out if not.

<title>perf record: Add support for limit perf output file size</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6d57581659f7229903d141455c7308e309056e89</id>
<content type='text'>
The patch adds a new option to limit the output file size, then based on
it, we can create a wrapper of the perf command that uses the option to
avoid exhausting the disk space by the unconscious user.

In order to make the perf.data parsable, we just limit the sample data
size, since the perf.data consists of many headers and sample data and
other data, the actual size of the recorded file will bigger than the
setting value.

Testing it:

  # ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10M
  Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
  [ perf record: perf size limit reached (10249 KB), stopping session ]
  [ perf record: Woken up 32 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 10.133 MB perf.data (71964 samples) ]

  # ls -lh perf.data
  -rw------- 1 root root 11M Oct 22 14:32 perf.data

  # ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10K
  [ perf record: perf size limit reached (10 KB), stopping session ]
  Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
  [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.546 MB perf.data (69 samples) ]

  # ls -l perf.data
  -rw------- 1 root root 1626952 Oct 22 14:36 perf.data

Committer notes:

Fixed the build in multiple distros by using PRIu64 to print u64 struct
members, fixing this:

  builtin-record.c: In function 'record__write':
  builtin-record.c:150:5: error: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64' [-Werror=format=]

without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously.  The

  $ sudo tree perf.data

<content type='text'>
Support directory output that contains a regular perf.data file, named
"data". By default the directory is named perf.data i.e.
	perf.data
	└── data

Most of the infrastructure to support a directory is already there. This
patch makes the changes needed to support the format above.

Presently there is no 'perf record' option to output a directory.

This is preparation for adding support for putting a copy of /proc/kcore in
the directory.

Move perf_mmap__put() from tools/perf to libperf.

Once perf_mmap__put() is moved, we need a way to call application
related unmap code (AIO and aux related code for eprf), when the map
goes away.

Add the perf_mmap::unmap callback to do that.

The unmap path from perf is:

  perf_mmap__put                           (libperf)
    perf_mmap__munmap                      (libperf)
      map-&gt;unmap_cb -&gt; perf_mmap__unmap_cb (perf)
        mmap__munmap                       (perf)

Committer notes:

Add missing linux/kernel.h to tools/perf/lib/mmap.c to get the BUG_ON
definition.
