This patch fixes a problem reported by Andi Kleen on perf
stat when measuring uncore events:
# perf stat --per-socket -e uncore_pcu/event=0x0/ -I1000 -a sleep 2
It would not report counts for the second socket. That was due to a
cpu mapping bug in print_aggr().
This patch also fixes the socket numbering bug for <not counted>
events.

This patch fixes a problem with perf stat whereby on termination it may
send a SIGTERM signal to random processes on systems with high PID
recycling. I got some actual bug reports on this.
There is race between the SIGCHLD and sig_atexit() handlers. This patch
addresses this problem by clearing child_pid in the SIGCHLD handler.

This patch adds the --per-core option to perf stat.
This option is used to aggregate system-wide counts
on a per physical core basis. On processors with
hyperthreading, this means counts of all HT threads
running on a physical core are aggregated.
This mode is useful to find imblance between physical
cores running an uniform workload. Cores are identified
by socket: S0-C1, means physical core 1 on socket 0. Note
that cores are identified using their physical core id,
thus their numbering may not be continuous.
Per core aggregation can be combined with interval printing:
# perf stat -a --per-core -I 1000 -e cycles sleep 1000
# time core cpus counts events
1.000090030 S0-C0 1 4,765,747 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C1 1 5,580,647 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C2 1 221,181 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C3 1 266,092 cycles

This patch adds a new printing mode for perf stat. It allows interval
printing. That means perf stat can now print event deltas at regular
time interval. This is useful to detect phases in programs.
The -I option enables interval printing. It expects an interval duration
in milliseconds. Minimum is 100ms. Once, activated perf stat prints
events deltas since last printout. All modes are supported.
$ perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds
# time counts events
1.000109853 2,388,560,546 cycles
2.000262846 2,393,332,358 cycles

6.000609052 2,393,203,670 cycles
7.000691082 2,393,175,678 cycles
The output format makes it easy to feed into a plotting program such as
gnuplot when the -I option is used in combination with the -x option:
$ perf stat -x, -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds

Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'.
Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both
'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set
based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}'
defined groups as they don't set 'group' option.
Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is
common to both group definition.
Moving perf_evlist__set_leader call within builtin-record ahead
perf_evlist__config_attrs call, because the latter needs possible group

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored
__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.
The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.
The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.
With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
# perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls
resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.
All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.
Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
-e instructions ls
# 1 group
# (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
-e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls
It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:
# perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'
resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

The following commit:
commit 56f3bae706
Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600
perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere
introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default,
i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to
writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed
and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major
difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf
stat via redirection:
perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log ....
They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do:
perf stat 0>/tmp/log ...
This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very
natural.
This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was
modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive.
Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored.
I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the
right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific
issue.

When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will
call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits.
When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be
excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to
perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far
just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail
specified.
Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the
details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into
account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc},
.precise_ip, etc).
That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the
rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.
I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG
modifier:
$ perf stat usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

While if one explicitely specifies the same events, which will make the parsing code
to be called and thus event_attr_init is called:
$ perf stat -e task-clock,context-switches,migrations,page-faults,cycles,stalled-cycles-frontend,stalled-cycles-backend,instructions,branches,branch-misses usleep 1

Fix it by introducing a perf_evlist__add_default_attrs method that will call
evlist_attr_init in all the perf_event_attr entries before adding the events.

Rename perf_target__no_{cpu,task} to perf_target__has_{cpu,task} because
it's more intuitive and easy to parse (for human beings) when used with
negation.
The names are came out from David Ahern. It is intended to be a
mechanical substitution without any functional change.
The perf_target__none remains unchanged since I couldn't find a right
name and it is hardly used with negation.

By default, perf stat sets exclude_guest = 1. But when you run perf on a
kernel which does not support host/guest filtering, then you get an
error saying the event in unsupported. This comes from the fact that
when the perf_event_attr struct passed by the user is larger than the
one known to the kernel there is safety check which ensures that all
unknown bits are zero. But here, exclude_guest is 1 (part of the unknown
bits) and thus the perf_event_open() syscall return EINVAL.
To my surprise, running perf record on the same kernel did not exhibit
the problem. The reason is that perf record handles the problem by
catching the error and retrying with guest/host excludes set to zero.
For some reason, this was not done with perf stat. This patch fixes this
problem.

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

$ ./perf stat --group -- sleep 1
