It becomes a perf_mmap method, "push", that build reads from a mmap and
"pushes" it to a consumer, that in the initial case, for 'perf record',
just writes it to the perf.data file descriptor, but may be used by
'top', etc.

In current xyarray code, xyarray__max_x() returns max_y, and xyarray__max_y()
returns max_x.
It's confusing and for code logic it looks not correct.
Error happens when closing evsel fd. Let's see this scenario:
1. Allocate an fd (pseudo-code)
perf_evsel__alloc_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel, int ncpus, int nthreads)
{
evsel->fd = xyarray__new(ncpus, nthreads, sizeof(int));
}
xyarray__new(int xlen, int ylen, size_t entry_size)
{
size_t row_size = ylen * entry_size;
struct xyarray *xy = zalloc(sizeof(*xy) + xlen * row_size);
xy->entry_size = entry_size;
xy->row_size = row_size;
xy->entries = xlen * ylen;
xy->max_x = xlen;
xy->max_y = ylen;
......
}
So max_x is ncpus, max_y is nthreads and row_size = nthreads * 4.
2. Use perf syscall and get the fd
int perf_evsel__open(struct perf_evsel *evsel, struct cpu_map *cpus,
struct thread_map *threads)
{
for (cpu = 0; cpu < cpus->nr; cpu++) {
for (thread = 0; thread < nthreads; thread++) {
int fd, group_fd;
fd = sys_perf_event_open(&evsel->attr, pid, cpus->map[cpu],
group_fd, flags);
FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = fd;
}
}
static inline void *xyarray__entry(struct xyarray *xy, int x, int y)
{
return &xy->contents[x * xy->row_size + y * xy->entry_size];
}
These codes don't have issues. The issue happens in the closing of fd.
3. Close fd.
void perf_evsel__close_fd(struct perf_evsel *evsel)
{
int cpu, thread;
for (cpu = 0; cpu < xyarray__max_x(evsel->fd); cpu++)
for (thread = 0; thread < xyarray__max_y(evsel->fd); ++thread) {
close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread));
FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1;
}
}
Since xyarray__max_x() returns max_y (nthreads) and xyarry__max_y()
returns max_x (ncpus), so above code is actually to be:
for (cpu = 0; cpu < nthreads; cpu++)
for (thread = 0; thread < ncpus; ++thread) {
close(FD(evsel, cpu, thread));
FD(evsel, cpu, thread) = -1;
}
It's not correct!
This change is introduced by "475fb533fb7d" ("perf evsel: Fix buffer overflow
while freeing events")
This fix is to let xyarray__max_x() return max_x (ncpus) and
let xyarry__max_y() return max_y (nthreads)
Committer note:
This was also fixed by Ravi Bangoria, who provided the same patch,

It is only when one asks for checking what of those entries actually had
samples, i.e. when we use either -H or --with-hits, that we will process
all the PERF_RECORD_ events, and since tools/perf/builtin-buildid-list.c
neither explicitely set a perf_tool.namespaces() callback nor the

Du Changbin reported crash [1] when calling perf_hpp__reset_output_field()
after unregistering field via perf_hpp__column_unregister().
This ends up in calling following list_del* sequence on
the same format:
perf_hpp__column_unregister:
list_del(&format->list);
perf_hpp__reset_output_field:
list_del_init(&fmt->list);
where the later list_del_init might touch already freed formats.
Fixing this by replacing list_del() with list_del_init() in
perf_hpp__column_unregister().

Currently, perf record is broken on arm/arm64 systems when the PMU is
specified explicitly as part of the event, e.g.
$ ./perf record -e armv8_cortex_a53/cpu_cycles/u true
In such cases, perf record fails to open events unless
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1, even if the PMU in question supports
mode exclusion. Further, even when perf_event_paranoid is toggled, no
samples are recorded.
This is an unintended side effect of commit:
e3ba76deef ("perf tools: Force uncore events to system wide monitoring)
... which assumes that if a PMU has an associated cpu_map, it is an
uncore PMU, and forces events for such PMUs to be system-wide.
This is not true for arm/arm64 systems, which can have heterogeneous
CPUs. To account for this, multiple CPU PMUs are exposed, each with a
"cpus" field under sysfs, which the perf tool parses into a cpu_map. ARM
PMUs do not have a "cpumask" file, and only have a "cpus" file. For the
gory details as to why, see commit:
7e3fcffe95 ("perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask")
Given all of this, we can instead identify uncore PMUs by explicitly
checking for a "cpumask" file, and restore arm/arm64 PMU support back to
a working state. This patch does so, adding a new perf_pmu::is_uncore
field, and splitting the existing cpumask parsing so that it can be
reused.

Prior to commit 55b9b50811 ("perf script: Support -F brstack,dso and

seems that this space was important. Without it, parsing is difficult.
Very sorry for the mistake.

Two functions from different binaries can have same start address. Thus,
comparing only start address in match_chain() leads to inconsistent
callchains. Fix this by adding a check for dsos as well.

The proc files which is sorted with alphabetical order are evenly
assigned to several synthesize threads to be processed in parallel.
For 'perf top', the threads number hard code to online CPU number. The
following patch will introduce an option to set it.
For other perf tools, the thread number is 1. Because the process
function is not ready for multithreading, e.g.
process_synthesized_event.
This patch series only support event synthesize multithreading for 'perf
top'. For other tools, it can be done separately later.
With multithread applied, the total processing time can get up to 1.56x
speedup on Knights Mill for 'perf top'.
For specific single event processing, the processing time could increase
because of the lock contention. So proc_map_timeout may need to be
increased. Otherwise some proc maps will be truncated.
Based on my test, increasing the proc_map_timeout has small impact
on the total processing time. The total processing time still get 1.49x
speedup on Knights Mill after increasing the proc_map_timeout.
The patch itself doesn't increase the proc_map_timeout.
Doesn't need to implement multithreading for per task monitoring,
perf_event__synthesize_thread_map. It doesn't have performance issue.

Setup struct perf_event_attr: Ok
The reason for the wrong error reporting is the return value of the
system() library call. It is called in run_dir() file tests/attr.c and
returns the exit status, in above case 0xff00.
This value is given as parameter to the exit() function which can only
handle values 0-0xff.
The child process terminates with exit value of 0 and the parent does
not detect any error.
This patch corrects the error reporting and prints the correct test
result.

Commit d78ada4a76 ("perf tests attr: Do not store failed events") does
not create an event file in the /tmp directory when the
perf_open_event() system call failed.
This can lead to a situation where not /tmp/event-xx-yy-zz result file
exists at all (for example on a s390x virtual machine environment) where
no CPUMF hardware is available.
The following command then fails with a python call back chain instead
of printing failure:

With --call-graph option, perf report can display call chains using
type, min percent threshold, optional print limit and order. And the
default call-graph parameter is 'graph,0.5,caller,function,percent'.
Before this patch, 'perf report --call-graph' shows incorrect debug
messages as below:
# perf report --call-graph
Invalid callchain mode: 0.5
Invalid callchain order: 0.5
Invalid callchain sort key: 0.5
Invalid callchain config key: 0.5
Invalid callchain mode: caller
Invalid callchain mode: function
Invalid callchain order: function
Invalid callchain mode: percent
Invalid callchain order: percent
Invalid callchain sort key: percent
That is because in function __parse_callchain_report_opt(),each field of
the call-graph parameter is passed to parse_callchain_{mode,order,
sort_key,value} in turn until it meets the matching value.
For example, the order field "caller" is passed to
parse_callchain_mode() firstly and obviously it doesn't match any mode
field. Therefore parse_callchain_mode() will shows the debug message
"Invalid callchain mode: caller", which could confuse users.
The patch fixes this issue by moving the warning out of the function
parse_callchain_{mode,order,sort_key,value}.

Yet another fix for probing the max attr.precise_ip setting: it is not
enough settting attr.exclude_kernel for !root users, as they _can_
profile the kernel if the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl is set to
-1, so check that as well.
Testing it:
As non root:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = 2
$ perf record sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:uppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 1, ... precise_ip: 3, ...
Now as non-root, but with kernel.perf_event_paranoid set set to the
most permissive value, -1:
$ sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
$ perf record sleep 1
$ perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: ..., exclude_kernel: 0, ... precise_ip: 3, ...
$
I.e. non-root, default kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :uppp modifier = not allowed to sample the kernel,
non-root, most permissible kernel.perf_event_paranoid: :ppp = allowed to sample the kernel.
In both cases, use the highest available precision: attr.precise_ip = 3.

and MADV_KEEPONFORK, that are now beautied (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Improve TUI progress bar by showing how many bytes from a total were
processed (Jiri Olsa)
- Use scandir() to replace readdir(), prep work to have the synthesizing
of PERF_RECORD_ entries for existing threads be multithreaded, making
'perf top' bearable on high core count systems such as Intel's Knights
Landing/Mill (Kan Liang)
- Allow creating a ~/.perfconfig file when setting a variable to its
default value, previously it would bail out and not write such a
file (Taeung Song)
- Introduce wrapper for allowing purely single threaded apps to avoid
the costs of locking (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Introduce hashtable to reduce the cost of thread lookup
- Fix build C++ build wrt poison.h using void pointer arithmetic,
affects only the embedded clang/llvm case, that is disabled by
default (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix leaking rec_argv in error cases (Martin Kepplinger)
- Remove Intel CQM perf test, that infrastructure was nuked (Xiaochen Shen)

Andi reported a performance drop in single threaded perf tools such as
'perf script' due to the growing number of locks being put in place to
allow for multithreaded tools, so wrap the POSIX threads rwlock routines
with the names used for such kinds of locks in the Linux kernel and then
allow for tools to ask for those locks to be used or not.
I.e. a tool may have a multithreaded phase and then switch to single
threaded, like the upcoming patches for the synthesizing of
PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} for pre-existing processes to then switch to
single threaded mode in 'perf top'.
The init routines will not be conditional, this way starting as single
threaded to then move to multi threaded mode should be possible.

Now that I'm switching the container builds from using a local volume
pointing to the kernel repository with the perf sources, instead getting
a detached tarball to be able to use a container cluster, some places
broke because I forgot to put some of the required files in
tools/perf/MANIFEST, namely some bitsperlong.h files.
So, to fix it do the same as for tools/build/ and pack the whole
tools/arch/ directory.

This is one more case where the way that syscall parameter values are
defined in kernel headers are easy to parse using a shell script that
will then generate the string table that gets used by the madvise
'behaviour' argument beautifier.
This way as soon as the header syncronization mechanism in perf's build
system detects a change in a copy of a kernel ABI header and that file
is syncronized, we get 'perf trace' updated automagically.
So, when we syncronize this:
Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h'
We'll get these:
#define MADV_WIPEONFORK 18 /* Zero memory on fork, child only */
#define MADV_KEEPONFORK 19 /* Undo MADV_WIPEONFORK */

The -M metric group parser threw away the events of earlier groups when
multiple groups were specified. Fix this here by not overwriting the
string incorrectly.
Now this works correctly:
% perf stat -M Summary,SMT --metric-only -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
Instructions CPI CLKS CPU_Utilization GFLOPs SMT_2T_Utilization SMT_2T_Utilization Kernel_Utilization CoreIPC CORE_CLKS
900907376.0 2.7 2398954144.0 0.1 0.0 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.4 2080822855.5
while previously it would only show the SMT metrics.

Let's free the allocated rec_argv in case we return early, in order to
avoid leaking memory.
This adds free() at a few very similar places across the tree where it
was missing.

When a PMU is missing print a better error message mentioning
the missing PMU.
% mkdir empty

\___ Cannot find PMU `msr'. Missing kernel support?
It still cannot find the right column for aliases, but it's already a vast improvement.
