Make perf stat use group read if there are groups defined. The group
read will get the values for all member of groups within a single
syscall instead of calling read syscall for every event.
We can see considerable less amount of kernel cycles spent on single
group read, than reading each event separately, like for following perf
stat command:
# perf stat -e {cycles,instructions} -I 10 -a sleep 1
Monitored with "perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles:u,cycles:k}'"
Before:

Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost.
During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set.
The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and
two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT).
In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful
than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core
cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default.
SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf
Here is an example output.
Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ':
SMI cycles% SMI#
0.1% 1
0.010858678 seconds time elapsed
Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional
--no-metric-only.

(This is a patch has been sitting in the Intel CQM/CMT driver series for
a while, despite not depend on it. Sending it now independently since
the series is being discarded.)
When an event is in error state, read() returns 0 instead of sizeof()
buffer. In certain modes, such as interval printing, ignoring the 0
return value may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and thus
invalid results printed.
This patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters() to mark the
event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force the printout routine to show
<NOT COUNTED>.

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.
Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.
We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.
Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.
Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.
Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.
There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

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.

When using perf stat on an AMD F15h system with the default hw events

<not counted> branch-misses (0.00%)
1.001550070 seconds time elapsed
The reason is that we have the HW watchdog consuming one PMU counter and
when perf tries to schedule 6 events on 6 counters and some of those
counters are constrained to only a specific subset of PMCs by the
hardware, the event scheduling fails.
So issue a hint to disable the HW watchdog around a perf stat session.

There are 2 problems wrt. cpu_topology_map on systems with sparse CPUs:
1. offline/absent CPUs will have their socket_id and core_id set to -1
which triggers:
"socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool."
2. size of cpu_topology_map (perf_env.cpu[]) is allocated based on
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, but can be indexed with CPU ids going above.
Users of perf_env.cpu[] are using CPU id as index. This can lead
to read beyond what was allocated:
==19991== Invalid read of size 4
==19991== at 0x490CEB: check_cpu_topology (topology.c:69)
==19991== by 0x490CEB: test_session_topology (topology.c:106)
...
For example:
_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF == 16
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 6 8 10 16 22 24 26
node 0 size: 12004 MB
node 0 free: 9470 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 7 9 11 23 25 27
node 1 size: 12093 MB
node 1 free: 9406 MB
node distances:
node 0 1
0: 10 20
1: 20 10
This patch changes HEADER_NRCPUS.nr_cpus_available from _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF
to max_present_cpu and updates any user of cpu_topology_map to iterate
with nr_cpus_avail.
As a consequence HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY core_id and socket_id lists get longer,
but maintain compatibility with pre-patch state - index to cpu_topology_map is
CPU id.

When we don't have a tracee (i.e. we're attaching to a task or CPU),
counters can still be running after our workload finishes, and can still
be running as we read their values. As we read events one-by-one, there
can be arbitrary skew between values of events, even within a group.
This means that ratios within an event group are not reliable.
This skew can be seen if measuring a group of identical events, e.g:
# perf stat -a -C0 -e '{cycles,cycles}' sleep 1
To avoid this, we must stop groups from counting before we read the
values of any constituent events. This patch adds and makes use of a new
disable_counters() helper, which disables group leaders (and thus each
group as a whole). This mirrors the use of enable_counters() for
starting event groups in the absence of a tracee.
Closing a group leader splits the group, and without a disabled group
leader the newly split events will begin counting. Thus to ensure counts
are reliable we must defer closing group leaders until all counts have
been read. To do so this patch removes the event closing logic from the
read_counters() helper, explicitly closes the events using
perf_evlist__close(), which also aids legibility.

In create_perf_stat_counter, when a target CPU has not been provided, we
call __perf_evsel__open with empty_cpu_map, and open a single FD per
thread. However, in read_counter we assume that we opened events for the
product of threads and CPUs described in the evsel's cpu_map.
Thus, if an evsel has a cpu_map with more than one entry, we will
attempt to access FDs that we didn't open. This could result in a number
of problems (e.g. blocking while reading from STDIN if the fd memory
happened to be initialised to zero).
This is problematic for systems were a logical CPU PMU covers some
arbitrary subset of CPUs. The cpu_map of any evsel for that PMU will be
initialised based on the cpumask exposed through sysfs, even if the user
requests per-thread events.

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.

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

Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the
raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact
printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also
allows easier plotting and processing with other tools.
The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and
standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported.
To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two
pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in
the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual
values.
There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle
all metrics being on a single line.
One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events
are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this
could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in
some cases.
The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.
Example:
% perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only

'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For
example:
# perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
# ls
# exit
Performance counter stats for 'bash':
266258061 instructions/no-inherit/
266258061 instructions/inherit/
1.402183915 seconds time elapsed
The result is confusing, because user may expect the first
'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command.
This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'.
Result:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/'
\___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
...
We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.
This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'instructions/badterm/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: config,config1,config2,name
# ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/badterm/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name

Arnaldo pointed out that the earlier cb110f4710 ("perf stat: Move
noise/running printing into printout") change changed behavior for not
counted counters. This patch fixes it again.
