Andi Kleen bf874fcf9f perf list: Move extra details printing to new option
Move the printing of perf expressions and internal events to a new
clearer --details flag, instead of lumping it together with other debug
options in --debug. This makes it clearer to use.

Before

  perf list --debug
  ...
  unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles
         [Cycles all ranks are in critical thermal throttle. Unit: uncore_imc]
          uncore_imc_2/event=0x86/  MetricName: power_critical_throttle_cycles % MetricExpr: (unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.

after

  perf list --details
  ...
  unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles
         [Cycles all ranks are in critical thermal throttle. Unit: uncore_imc]
          uncore_imc_2/event=0x86/  MetricName: power_critical_throttle_cycles % MetricExpr: (unc_m_power_critical_throttle_cycles / unc_m_clockticks) * 100.

Andi Kleen 430daf2dc7 perf stat: Collapse identically named events
The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

  % perf stat --no-merge -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

Andi Kleen 48d02a1d5c perf script: Add 'brstackinsn' for branch stacks
Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.

This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to
find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.

This is good enough for pattern matching.

This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with
branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on
Skylake systems).

  % perf record -b ...
  % perf script -F brstackinsn
  ...
    read_hpet+67:
          ffffffff9905b843        insn: 74 ea                     # PRED
          ffffffff9905b82f        insn: 85 c9
          ffffffff9905b831        insn: 74 12
          ffffffff9905b833        insn: f3 90
          ffffffff9905b835        insn: 48 8b 0f
          ffffffff9905b838        insn: 48 89 ca
          ffffffff9905b83b        insn: 48 c1 ea 20
          ffffffff9905b83f        insn: 39 f2
          ffffffff9905b841        insn: 89 d0
          ffffffff9905b843        insn: 74 ea                     # PRED

Only works when no special branch filters are specified.

Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a
special message.

The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.

An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this
version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

Committer note:

Added hint about how to get suitable perf.data files for use with
'-F brstackinsm':

  $ perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  $
  $ perf script -F brstackinsn
  Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set
  Hint: run 'perf record -b ...'

Hari Bathini d890a98c92 perf tools: Add 'cgroup_id' sort order keyword
This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to
identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device
number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with
the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier.

With the assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup
namespace,  this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at
once.

A simple test for this would be to clone a few processes passing
SIGCHILD & CLONE_NEWCROUP flags to each of them, execute shell and run
different workloads  on each of those contexts,  while running perf
record command with --namespaces option.

Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted with cgroup identifier,
on perf.data generated with the above test scenario, clearly indicating
one context's considerable use of kernel memory in comparison with
others:

	$ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio
	#
	# Total Lost Samples: 0
	#
	# Samples: 5K of event 'kmem:kmalloc'
	# Event count (approx.): 5965
	#
	# Overhead  cgroup id (dev/inode)       Samples
	# ........  .....................  ............
	#
	    81.27%  3/0xeffffffb                   4848
	    16.24%  3/0xf00000d0                    969
	     1.16%  3/0xf00000ce                     69
	     0.82%  3/0xf00000cf                     49
	     0.50%  0/0x0                            30

While this is a start, there is further scope of improving this. For
example, instead of cgroup namespace's device and inode numbers, dev
and inode numbers of some or all namespaces may be used to distinguish
which processes are running in a given container context.

Also, scripts to map device and inode info to containers sounds
plausible for better tracing of containers.

by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update

Committer notes:

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

  util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]

Namhyung Kim a9af6be5bc perf ftrace: Add support for --pid option
The -p (--pid) option enables to trace existing process by its pid.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

Using the function_graph tracer on a process that is just waiting for user
input and thus will make 'perf ftrace' sit there waiting for that, then press
any key on that mutt session and see what happens:

  # perf ftrace -t function_graph -p `pidof mutt` | head -40

Charles Baylis 7768f8dada perf tools: Allow sorting by symbol size
Add new sort key 'symbol_size' to allow user to sort by symbol size, or
(more usefully) display the symbol size using --fields=...,symbol_size.

Committer note:

Testing it together with the recently added -q, to remove the headers,
and using the '+' sign with -s, to add the symbol_size sort order to
the default, which is '-s/--sort comm,dso,symbol':

Masahiro Yamada 9332ef9dbd scripts/spelling.txt: add "an user" pattern and fix typo instances
Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

  an user||a user
  an userspace||a userspace

I also added "userspace" to the list since it is a common word in Linux.
I found some instances for "an userfaultfd", but I did not add it to the
list.  I felt it is endless to find words that start with "user" such as
"userland" etc., so must draw a line somewhere.

Jiri Olsa 0d79f8b931 perf stat: Add -a as default target
Boris asked for default -a option in case we monitor only uncore events.

While implementing that I thought it might be actually useful to make it
overall default.

Running 'perf stat' will now collect system wide data.

The "delta-abs" compute method will show most changed entries on top.
So users can easily see how much effect between the data.  Note that it
also changes the default of -o option to 1 in order to apply the compute
method.  To see original-style (sorted by baseline) use -o 0 option.

Namhyung Kim d49dd15d69 perf diff: Add diff.order config option
In many cases, I need to look at differences between two data so I often
used the -o option to sort the result base on the difference first.
It'd be nice to have a config option to set it by default.

The diff.order config option is to set the default value of -o/--order
option.

Namhyung Kim a1668c25a8 perf diff: Add 'delta-abs' compute method
The 'delta-abs' compute method is same as 'delta' but shows entries with
bigger absolute delta first instead of sorting numerically.  This is
only useful together with -o option.

Below is default output (-c delta):

  $ perf diff -o 1 -c delta | grep -v ^# | head
    42.22%   +4.97%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] cfb_imageblit
     0.62%   +1.23%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mutex_lock
             +1.15%  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] copy_user_generic_string

             +0.41%  ld-2.24.so         [.] do_lookup_x

Now with 'delta-abs' it shows entries have bigger delta value either
positive or negative.

  $ perf diff -o 1 -c delta-abs | grep -v ^# | head

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 017037ff3d perf trace: Allow specifying list of syscalls and events in -e/--expr/--event
Makes it easier to specify both events and syscalls (to be formatter
strace-like), i.e. previously one would have to do:

  # perf trace -e nanosleep --event sched:sched_switch usleep 1

Now it is possible to do:

  # perf trace -e nanosleep,sched:sched_switch usleep 1
     0.000 ( 0.021 ms): usleep/17962 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdedd61ec0) ...
     0.021 (         ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:17962 [120] S ==> swapper/1:0 [120])
     0.000 ( 0.066 ms): usleep/17962  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
  #

The old style --expr and using both -e and --event continues to work.

Its similar to doing grep on a /proc/kallsyms, but it also shows extra

It is also helps demonstrate the use of the symbols routines so that

Namhyung Kim 07235f84ec perf sched timehist: Add -I/--idle-hist option
The --idle-hist option is to analyze system idle state so which process
makes cpu to go idle.  If this option is specified, non-idle events will
be skipped and processes switching to/from idle will be shown.

This option is mostly useful when used with --summary(-only) option.  In
the idle-time summary view, idle time is accounted to previous thread
which is run before idle task.

The example output looks like following:

  Idle-time summary

 --no-call-graph can be used to not show the callchains. --max-stack is used
to control the number of frames shown (default of 5). -x/--excl options can
be used to collapse redundant callchains to get more relevant data on screen.

David Ahern 49394a2a24 perf sched timehist: Introduce timehist command
'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.

Example usage:
    perf sched record -- sleep 1
    perf sched timehist

By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait
time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the
task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run
time for the task:

            time    cpu  task name             wait time  sch delay   run time

Jiri Olsa d940baccc9 perf c2c report: Display total HITMs on default
Currently we display the cacheline list sorted on remote HITMs by
default.

The problem is that they might not be always counted and 'perf c2c
report' displays an empty output. Thus it's more convenient to display
and sort the cacheline list based on the total of HITMs and have the
best change to see data in the default report run.

Taeung Song c6fc018a7a perf config: Add support setting variables in a config file
Add setting feature that can add config variables with their values to a
config file (i.e. user or system config file) or modify config key-value
pairs in a config file.  For the syntax examples:

    perf config [<file-option>] [section.name[=value] ...]

e.g. You can set the ui.show-headers to false with

    # perf config ui.show-headers=false

If you want to add or modify several config items, you can do like

    # perf config annotate.show_nr_jumps=false kmem.default=slab

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  $ perf config -l
  top.children=true
  report.children=false
  $
  $ perf config top.children=false
  $ perf config -l
  top.children=false
  report.children=false
  $
  $ perf config kmem.default=slab
  $ perf config -l
  top.children=false
  report.children=false
  kmem.default=slab
  $

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 699c12a7cc perf intel-pt: Update documentation about context switch events
Since the unprivileged sched switch event was added in perf, PT doesn't
need need perf_event_paranoid=-1 anymore for per cpu decoding.

Add a note stating that that is only needed for kernels < 4.2.
