At the cost of an extra pointer, we can avoid the O(logN) cost of
finding the first element in the tree (smallest node), which is
something heavily required for histograms. Specifically, the following

hist::entries_in_array
hist::entries_in
hist::entries
hist::entries_collapsed
hist_entry::hroot_in

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f2e14cd2c9 perf top: Lift restriction on using callchains without "sym" in --sort
This restriction is not present in 'perf report' and since 'perf top'
uses the same hists browser, remove it from it as well.

With this we create per event buckets with callchain trees, so that

  # perf top --sort dso -g --no-children

Bucketizes samples by DSO and below it shows the callchains leading to
functions in this DSO.

Try also:

  # perf top -e sched:*switch -g --no-children

To see the callchains leading to sched switches, pressing 'E' to expand
all one can quickly see the most common scheduler switches and what
leads to them, for instance, calls to IO, futexes, etc.

Jiri Olsa 94ad6e7e36 perf top: Use cond variable instead of a lock
Use conditional variable logic to synchronize between the reading and
processing threads. Currently it's done by having mutex around rotation
code.

Using a POSIX cond variable to sync both threads after queues rotation:

  Process thread:

    - Detects data
    - Switches queues
    - Sets rotate variable
    - Waits in pthread_cond_wait()

  Read thread:

    - Detects rotate is set
    - Kicks the process thread with a pthread_cond_signal()

After this rotation is safely completed and both threads can continue
with the new queue.

Jiri Olsa 16c66bc167 perf top: Add processing thread
Add a new thread that takes care of the hist creating to alleviate the
main reader thread so it can keep perf mmaps served in time so that we
reduce the possibility of losing events.

The 'perf top' command now spawns 2 extra threads, the data processing
is the following:

  1) The main thread reads the data from mmaps and queues them to
     ordered events object;

  2) The processing threads takes the data from the ordered events
     object and create initial histogram;

  3) The GUI thread periodically sorts the initial histogram and
     presents it.

Passing the data between threads 1 and 2 is done by having 2 ordered
events queues. One is always being stored by thread 1 while the other is
flushed out in thread 2.

Passing the data between threads 2 and 3 stays the same as was initially
for threads 1 and 3.

Mark Drayton 3fcb10e496 perf tools: Allow specifying proc-map-timeout in config file
The default timeout of 500ms for parsing /proc/<pid>/maps files is too
short for profiling many of our services.

This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant
command but it'd be nice to globally increase our default value.

This patch permits setting a different default with the
core.proc-map-timeout config file parameter.

Go over the tools/ files that are maintained in Arnaldo's tree and
fix common typos: half of them were in comments, the other half
in JSON files.

No change in functionality intended.

Committer notes:

This was split from a larger patch as there are code that is,
additionally, maintained outside the kernel tree, so to ease
cherry-picking and/or backporting, split this into multiple patches.

Just typos in comments, no need to backport, reducing the possibility of
possible backporting artifacts.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1b3aae90c6 perf top: Allow passing a kallsyms file
This basically replicates what was done for 'perf report' in:

   b226a5a729 ("perf report: Allow user to specify path to kallsyms file")

This should help with resolving eBPF symbols, that are in kallsyms but,
of course, not in vmlinux.

Jin Yao 590ac60d8a perf top: Display the LBR stats in callchain entry
'perf report' has supported the displaying of LBR stats (such as cycles,
predicted%) in callchain entry.

For example:

  $ perf report --branch-history --stdio

  --1.01%--intel_idle mwait.h:29
            intel_idle cpufeature.h:164 (cycles:5)
            intel_idle cpufeature.h:164 (predicted:76.4%)
            intel_idle mwait.h:102 (cycles:41)
            intel_idle current.h:15

While 'perf top' doesn't support that.

For example:

  $ perf top -a -b --call-graph branch

  -   13.86%     0.23%  [kernel]		[k] __x86_indirect_thunk_rax
     - 13.65% __x86_indirect_thunk_rax
        + 1.69% do_syscall_64
        + 1.68% do_select
        + 1.41% ktime_get
        + 0.70% __schedule
        + 0.62% do_sys_poll
          0.58% __x86_indirect_thunk_rax

Actually it's very easy to enable this feature in 'perf top'.

With this patch, the result is:

  $ perf top -a -b --call-graph branch

  $ -   13.58%     0.00%  [kernel]		[k] __x86_indirect_thunk_rax
     $ - 13.57% __x86_indirect_thunk_rax (predicted:93.9%)
        $ + 1.78% do_select (cycles:2)
        $ + 1.68% perf_pmu_disable.part.99 (cycles:1)
        $ + 1.45% ___sys_recvmsg (cycles:25)
        $ + 0.81% unix_stream_sendmsg (cycles:18)
        $ + 0.80% ktime_get (cycles:400)
          $ 0.58% pick_next_task_fair (cycles:47)
        $ + 0.56% i915_request_retire (cycles:2)
        $ + 0.52% do_sys_poll (cycles:4)

David Miller ff27a06af6 perf top: Start display thread earlier
If events are coming in at a rate such that the event processing thread
can barely keep up, our initial run of the event ring will almost never
terminate and this delays the starting of the display thread.

The screen basically stays black until the event thread can get out of
it's endless loop.

Therefore, start the display thread before we start processing the ring
buffer.

This also make sure that we always have the user requested real time
setting engaged when processing the ring.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 218d61110f perf top: Do not use overwrite mode by default
Enabling --overwrite mode allows us to to use just the most recent
records, which helps in high core count machines such as Knights
Landing/Mill, but right now is being disabled by default as the pausing
used in this technique is leading to loss of metadata events such as
PERF_RECORD_MMAP which makes 'perf top' unable to resolve samples,
leading to lots of unknown samples appearing on the UI.

Enabling this may be useful if you are in such machines and profiling a
workload that doesn't creates short lived threads and/or doesn't uses
many executable mmap operations.

Work is being planed to solve this situation, till then, this will
remain disabled by default.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4e303fbe2d perf top: Allow disabling the overwrite mode
In ebebbf0823 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode") we
forgot to leave a way to disable that new default, add a --overwrite
option that can be disabled using --no-overwrite, since the code already
in such a way that we can readily disable this mode.

This is useful when investigating bugs with this mode like the recent
report from David Miller where lots of unknown symbols appear due to
disabling the events while processing them which disables all record
types, not just PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, which makes it impossible to resolve
maps when we lose PERF_RECORD_MMAP records.

This can be easily seen while building a kernel, when there are lots of
short lived processes.

Kan Liang 853745f5e6 perf top: Fix annoying fallback message on older kernels
On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be
observed in 'perf top':

	┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐
	│fall back to non-overwrite mode│
	│                               │

	│Press any key...               │
	└───────────────────────────────┘

The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit
ebebbf0823 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").

For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top'
will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message
using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.

The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug
message which is printed when running with -vv.

Kan Liang 8cc42de736 perf top: Check the latency of perf_top__mmap_read()
The latency of perf_top__mmap_read() should be lower than refresh time.
If not, give some hints to reduce the latency.

Kan Liang ebebbf0823 perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode
perf_top__mmap_read() has a severe performance issue in the Knights
Landing/Mill platform, when monitoring heavy load systems. It costs
several minutes to finish, which is unacceptable.

Currently, 'perf top' uses the non overwrite mode. For non overwrite
mode, it tries to read everything in the ringbuffer and doesn't pause
it. Once there are lots of samples delivered persistently, the
processing time could be very long. Also, the latest samples could be
lost when the ringbuffer is full.

For overwrite mode, it takes a snapshot for the system by pausing the
ringbuffer, which could significantly reduce the processing time.  Also,
the overwrite mode always keep the latest samples.  Considering the real
time requirement for 'perf top', the overwrite mode is more suitable for
it.

Actually, 'perf top' was overwrite mode. It is changed to non overwrite
mode since commit 93fc64f144 ("perf top: Switch to non overwrite
mode"). It's better to change it back to overwrite mode by default.

For the kernel which doesn't support overwrite mode, it will fall back
to non overwrite mode.

There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing
the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot
and can be tolerated.

For overwrite mode, unconditionally wait 100 ms before each snapshot. It
also reduces the overhead caused by pausing ringbuffer, especially on
light load system.

Kan Liang a1ff5b05e9 perf top: Remove lost events checking
There would be some records lost in overwrite mode because of pausing
the ringbuffer. It has little impact for the accuracy of the snapshot
and could be tolerated by 'perf top'.

Remove the lost events checking.

Kan Liang 06cc1a470a perf hists browser: Add parameter to disable lost event warning
For overwrite mode, the ringbuffer will be paused. The event lost is
expected. It needs a way to notify the browser not print the warning.

It will be used later for perf top to disable lost event warning in
overwrite mode. There is no behavior change for now.

Kan Liang 204721d7ea perf top: Add overwrite fall back
Switch to non-overwrite mode if kernel doesnot support overwrite
ringbuffer.

It's only effect when overwrite mode is supported.  No change to current
behavior.

Kan Liang 63878a53ce perf top: Check per-event overwrite term
Per-event overwrite term is not forbidden in 'perf top', which can bring
problems. Because 'perf top' only support non-overwrite mode now.

Add new rules and check regarding to overwrite term for 'perf top'.
- All events either have same per-event term or don't have per-event
  mode setting. Otherwise, it will error out.
- Per-event overwrite term should be consistent as opts->overwrite.
  If not, updating the opts->overwrite according to per-event term.

Make it possible to support either non-overwrite or overwrite mode.
The overwrite mode is forbidden now, which will be removed when the
overwrite mode is supported later.
