Ravi Bangoria 8544d24c32 perf sdt x86: Add renaming logic for rNN and other registers
'perf probe' is failing for sdt markers whose arguments has rNN (with
postfix b/w/d), %rsp, %esp, %sil etc. registers. Add renaming logic for
these registers.

Alexis Berlemont 3b1f8311f6 perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string
An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed
to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts
the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format.

As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will
skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format.

Here are the results:

  $ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt
  $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob
  $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle
  $ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt
  $ perf script
  test_sdt  ...   666.255678:   sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=0 arg1=0
  test_sdt  ...   666.255683: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=0 arg1=0

Naveen N. Rao 44ca9341f6 perf powerpc: Choose local entry point with kretprobes
perf now uses an offset from _text/_stext for kretprobes if the kernel
supports it, rather than the actual function name. As such, let's choose
the LEP for powerpc ABIv2 so as to ensure the probe gets hit. Do it only
if the kernel supports specifying offsets with kretprobes.

He Kuang 3bb53c9f12 perf tools arm64: Add support for generating bpf prologue
Since HAVE_KPROBES can be enabled in arm64, this patch introduces
regs_query_register_offset() to convert register name to offset for
arm64, so the BPF prologue feature is ready to use.

He Kuang 1b29dfbba1 perf probe: Fix wrong register name for arm64
The register name of arm64 architecture is x0-x31 not r0-r31, this patch
changes this typo.

Before this patch:

  # perf probe --definition 'sys_write count'
  p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%r2:s64

  # echo 'p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%r2:s64' > \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  Parse error at argument[0]. (-22)

After this patch:

  # perf probe --definition 'sys_write count'
  p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%x2:s64

  # echo 'p:probe/sys_write _text+1502872 count=%x2:s64' > \
    /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  # echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe/enable
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
  ...

Kim Phillips 0fcb1da4ab perf annotate: AArch64 support
This is a regex converted version from the original:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/19/461

Add basic support to recognise AArch64 assembly. This allows perf to
identify AArch64 instructions that branch to other parts within the
same function, thereby properly annotating them.

Rebased onto new cross-arch annotation bits:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/11/25/546

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo acc9bfb5fa perf annotate: Improve support for ARM
By using arch->init() to set up some regular expressions to associate
ins_ops to ARM instructions, ditching that old table that has
instructions not present on ARM.

Take advantage of having an arch->init() to hide more arm specific stuff
from the common code, like the objdump details.

The regular expressions comes from a patch written by Kim Phillips.

Another step in supporting cross annotation.

The arch specific tables are put in:

which, so far, just plug instructions to a bunch of parsers/formatters,
but may have more as the need arises.

Perf uretprobe probes on GEP(Global Entry Point) which fails to record

Before applying patch:

  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    r:probe_uprobe_test/doit /home/ravi/uprobe_test:0x00000000000005f8

This is not the case with kretprobes because the kernel itself finds LEP
and probes on it.

Masami Hiramatsu 293d5b4394 perf probe: Support probing on offline cross-arch binary
Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.

Here is an example:
  -----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
  p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
  -----

Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

Adrian Hunter 3d918fb13a perf intel-pt: Fix occasional decoding errors when tracing system-wide
In order to successfully decode Intel PT traces, context switch events
are needed from the moment the trace starts. Currently that is ensured
by using the 'immediate' flag which enables the switch event when it is
opened.

However, since commit 86c2786994 ("perf intel-pt: Add support for
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH") that might not always happen. When tracing
system-wide the context switch event is added to the tracking event
which was not set as 'immediate'. Change that so it is.

probe-event.c will only get included in perf binary if CONFIG_LIBELF is

Ravi Bangoria 99e608b595 perf probe ppc64le: Fix probe location when using DWARF
Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions.  LEP
catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains
GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not
have LEP info.

Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for
ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall
back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe
will never hit.

For example:

  $ objdump -d vmlinux
    ...
    do_sys_open():
    c0000000002eb4a0:       e8 00 4c 3c     addis   r2,r12,232
    c0000000002eb4a4:       60 00 42 38     addi    r2,r2,96
    c0000000002eb4a8:       a6 02 08 7c     mflr    r0
    c0000000002eb4ac:       d0 ff 41 fb     std     r26,-48(r1)

  $ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open
  $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
    p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904

  $ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
  $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
    p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string

For second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via
LEP, probe won't hit.

  $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ]

To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf
decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when
it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset
form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases.

After patch:

  $ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
  $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
    p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string

  $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]

Song Shan Gong 203d8a4aa6 perf s390: Fix 'start' address of module's map
At present, when creating module's map, perf gets 'start' address by
parsing '/proc/modules', but it's the module base address, it isn't the
start address of the '.text' section.

In most arches, it's OK. But for s390, it places 'GOT' and 'PLT'
relocations before '.text' section. So there exists an offset between
module base address and '.text' section, which will incur wrong symbol
resolution for modules.

Fix this bug by getting 'start' address of module's map from parsing
'/sys/module/[module name]/sections/.text', not from '/proc/modules'.

Previous patches added support for Intel's AVX-512 instructions to the
kernel and perf tools instruction decoders.

AVX-512 instructions are documented in Intel Architecture Instruction
Set Extensions Programming Reference (February 2016).

Add a representative set of instructions to perf's "new instructions"
test. e.g.

	perf test "new instructions"

Or to view a particular instruction:

	perf test -v "new instructions" 2>&1 | grep vbroadcasti64x4

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c8b5f2c96d tools: Introduce str_error_r()
The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f3d082ceab perf tools: Sync copy of syscall_64.tbl with the kernel
Noticed by the build system, that emitted this warning:

  Warning: x86_64's syscall_64.tbl differs from kernel

This was due to the wiring up of the recently added preadv2 & pwritev2
syscalls to the compat code, which hadn't been done by the patch
introducing those syscalls: 4babf2c5ef ("x86: wire up preadv2 and
pwritev2").

The patch doing the compat wiring was:

  482dd2ef12 ("x86/syscalls: Wire up compat readv2/writev2 syscalls")

This just silences the perf build warning, as compat syscalls still
can't be supported in 'perf trace´ due to limitations in the
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints it relies on.

  $ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc \
      --objdump powerpc64-linux-gnu-objdump

After applying patch on x86:

  $ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc

I.e. it will find the right objdump from the environment data recorded
in the perf.data file + these triplets.

He Kuang 9d8e14d306 perf unwind: Separate local/remote libunwind config
CONFIG_LIBUNWIND/NO_LIBUNWIND are changed to CONFIG_LOCAL_LIBUNWIND/
NO_LOCAL_LIBUNWIND for retaining local unwind features. The new
CONFIG_LIBUNWIND stands for either local or remote or both unwind are
supported, and NO_LIBUNWIND means that neither local nor remote unwind
is supported.

LIBUNWIND_LIBS is eliminated in LDFLAGS if local libunwind is not
supported.

Andi Kleen 44b1e60ab5 perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat
Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat

TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles
idle metrics in standard perf stat output.  These metrics are not
reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects.

This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to
--transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using
standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters
(one fixed counter)

The result are four metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring

that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level.

The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics.  This
implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without
multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is
available in pmu-tools toplev.  (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools)

The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge,
and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont.  In principle the generic
metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs.

TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to
out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of
them):

  topdown-total-slots       Available slots in the pipeline
  topdown-slots-issued      Slots issued into the pipeline
  topdown-slots-retired     Slots successfully retired
  topdown-fetch-bubbles     Pipeline gaps in the frontend
  topdown-recovery-bubbles  Pipeline gaps during recovery
                            from misspeculation

These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.

Add a new --topdown options to enable events.  When --topdown is
specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel.
Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for
all events containing -.

The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches.

v2: Use standard sysctl read function.
v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/
v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown.
v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode
v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics
v7: Allow combining with -d
v8: Remove --single-thread again
v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_.
v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better
Paste intro into commit description.
Print error when malloc fails.
