Enable perf script to use perf.data when it is not owned by current user
or root. Change the short option name of --fields to -F to avoid confusion
with --force.

# ls -al perf.data
-rw------- 1 Yunlong.Song Yunlong.Song 28360 Apr 2 14:53 perf.data

Before this patch:

# perf script -f
Error: switch `f' requires a value

-f, --fields <str> comma separated output fields prepend with
'type:'. Valid types: hw,sw,trace,raw. Fields:
comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,trace,ip,sym,dso,addr,symoff,period
As shown above, the -f option does not work at all. And -f is already
taken up by --fields, which makes --force confused, so change the short
option name of --fields to -F like what other perf commands do (e.g.
perf report -F) and use -f as the short option name of --force.

Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members.
perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure
members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent
structure/union. To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes.
- Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is
unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the
unnamed member.
(note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member
has the offset in the parent structure)
- Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/
structure (one-by-one).
With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields:
-----
#./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops'
Added new event:
probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1

So bpf_tracing.o depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL - but that's not its only
dependency, it also depends on the tracing infrastructure and on kprobes,
without which it will fail to build with:
In file included from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:14:0:
kernel/trace/trace.h: In function ‘trace_test_and_set_recursion’:
kernel/trace/trace.h:491:28: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘trace_recursion’
unsigned int val = current->trace_recursion;
[...]
It took quite some time to trigger this build failure, because right now
BPF_SYSCALL is very obscure, depends on CONFIG_EXPERT. So also make BPF_SYSCALL
more configurable, not just under CONFIG_EXPERT.
If BPF_SYSCALL, tracing and kprobes are enabled then enable the bpf_tracing
gateway as well.
We might want to make this an interactive option later on, although
I'd not complicate it unnecessarily: enabling BPF_SYSCALL is enough of
an indicator that the user wants BPF support.

One BPF program attaches to kmem_cache_alloc_node() and
remembers all allocated objects in the map.
Another program attaches to kmem_cache_free() and deletes
corresponding object from the map.
User space walks the map every second and prints any objects
which are older than 1 second.
Usage:
$ sudo tracex4
Then start few long living processes. The 'tracex4' will print
something like this:
obj 0xffff880465928000 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff88043181c280 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff880465848000 is 8sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
obj 0xffff8804338bc280 is 15sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
$ addr2line -fispe vmlinux ffffffff8105dc32
do_fork at fork.c:1665
As soon as processes exit the memory is reclaimed and 'tracex4'
prints nothing.
Similar experiment can be done with the __kmalloc()/kfree() pair.

BPF C program attaches to
blk_mq_start_request()/blk_update_request() kprobe events to
calculate IO latency.
For every completed block IO event it computes the time delta
in nsec and records in a histogram map:
map[log10(delta)*10]++
User space reads this histogram map every 2 seconds and prints
it as a 'heatmap' using gray shades of text terminal. Black
spaces have many events and white spaces have very few events.
Left most space is the smallest latency, right most space is
the largest latency in the range.
Usage:
$ sudo ./tracex3
and do 'sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null' in other terminal.
Observe IO latencies and how different activity (like 'make
kernel') affects it.
Similar experiments can be done for network transmit latencies,
syscalls, etc.
'-t' flag prints the heatmap using normal ascii characters:
$ sudo ./tracex3 -t
heatmap of IO latency

tracex1_kern.c - C program compiled into BPF.
It attaches to kprobe:netif_receive_skb()
When skb->dev->name == "lo", it prints sample debug message into
trace_pipe via bpf_trace_printk() helper function.
tracex1_user.c - corresponding user space component that:
- loads BPF program via bpf() syscall
- opens kprobes:netif_receive_skb event via perf_event_open()
syscall
- attaches the program to event via ioctl(event_fd,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
- prints from trace_pipe
Note, this BPF program is non-portable. It must be recompiled
with current kernel headers. kprobe is not a stable ABI and
BPF+kprobe scripts may no longer be meaningful when kernel
internals change.
No matter in what way the kernel changes, neither the kprobe,
nor the BPF program can ever crash or corrupt the kernel,
assuming the kprobes, perf and BPF subsystem has no bugs.
The verifier will detect that the program is using
bpf_trace_printk() and the kernel will print 'this is a DEBUG
kernel' warning banner, which means that bpf_trace_printk()
should be used for debugging of the BPF program only.
Usage:
$ sudo tracex1

Debugging of BPF programs needs some form of printk from the
program, so let programs call limited trace_printk() with %d %u
%x %p modifiers only.
Similar to kernel modules, during program load verifier checks
whether program is calling bpf_trace_printk() and if so, kernel
allocates trace_printk buffers and emits big 'this is debug

BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute
user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or
hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such
programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break
out of their sandbox.
The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall:
struct perf_event_attr attr = {
.type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT,
.config = event_id,
...
};
event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...);
ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program
previously loaded.
'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created.
Closing 'event_fd':
close(event_fd);
... automatically detaches BPF program from it.
BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to:
- lookup/update/delete elements in maps
- probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any
kernel data structures
BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is
architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store
kprobe event into the ring buffer.
Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI,
so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for
every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE
in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

Socket filter code and other subsystems with upcoming eBPF
support should not need to deal with the fact that we have
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL defined or not.
Having the bpf syscall as a config option is a nice thing and
I'd expect it to stay that way for expert users (I presume one
day the default setting of it might change, though), but code
making use of it should not care if it's actually enabled or
not.
Instead, hide this via header files and let the rest deal with it.

perf ordered_events: Shorten function signatures
By keeping pointers to machines, evlist and tool in ordered_events.
But that was more a transitional patch while moving stuff out from
perf_session.c to ordered_events.c and possibly not even needed by then,
as we could use the container_of() method and instead of having the
nr_unordered_samples stats in events_stats, we can have it in
ordered_samples.

Even when it is not used to actually reorder events, some of its fields
are used, like session->ordered_events->tool, to shorten function
signatures where tool, for instance, was being passed, as the tool is
needed for the ordered_events code, we need it there and might as well
use it for other perf_session needs.
This fixes a problem where 'perf script' had some condition that made
session->ordered_events not to be initialized even with its
script->tool ordered_events related flags asking for it to be, which
looks like another bug and needs to be investigated further.
Always initializing session->ordered_events at least leaves the current
assumptions in place, so do it now.

must be kept when iterating over all ips, otherwise the default
(PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER) will be used by error.

Disabling libbabeltrace check by default and replacing the
NO_LIBBABELTRACE make variable with LIBBABELTRACE.
Users wanting the libbabeltrace feature need to build via:
$ make LIBBABELTRACE=1
The reason for this is that the libababeltrace interface we use (version
1.3) hasn't been packaged/released yet, thus the failing feature check
only slows down build and confuses other (non CTF) developers.

While thinking on the whole clock discussion it occurred to me we have
two distinct uses of time:
1) the tracking of event/ctx/cgroup enabled/running/stopped times
which includes the self-monitoring support in struct
perf_event_mmap_page.
2) the actual timestamps visible in the data records.
And we've been conflating them.
The first is all about tracking time deltas, nobody should really care
in what time base that happens, its all relative information, as long
as its internally consistent it works.
The second however is what people are worried about when having to
merge their data with external sources. And here we have the
discussion on MONOTONIC vs MONOTONIC_RAW etc..
Where MONOTONIC is good for correlating between machines (static
offset), MONOTNIC_RAW is required for correlating against a fixed rate
hardware clock.
This means configurability; now 1) makes that hard because it needs to
be internally consistent across groups of unrelated events; which is
why we had to have a global perf_clock().
However, for 2) it doesn't really matter, perf itself doesn't care
what it writes into the buffer.
The below patch makes the distinction between these two cases by
adding perf_event_clock() which is used for the second case. It
further makes this configurable on a per-event basis, but adds a few
sanity checks such that we cannot combine events with different clocks
in confusing ways.
And since we then have per-event configurability we might as well
retain the 'legacy' behaviour as a default.

On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period
that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period
should not be smaller than 128.
This is erratum BDM11 and BDM55:
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/5th-gen-core-family-spec-update.pdf
BDM11: When using a period < 100; we may get incorrect PEBS/PMI
interrupts and/or an invalid counter state.
BDM55: When bit0-5 of the period are !0 we may get redundant PEBS
records on overflow.
Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell.
How does this handle the case when an app requests a specific
period with some of the bottom bits set?
Short answer:
Any useful instruction sampling period needs to be 4-6 orders
of magnitude larger than 128, as an PMI every 128 instructions
would instantly overwhelm the system and be throttled.
So the +-64 error from this is really small compared to the
period, much smaller than normal system jitter.
Long answer (by Peterz):
IFF we guarantee perf_event_attr::sample_period >= 128.
Suppose we start out with sample_period=192; then we'll set period_left
to 192, we'll end up with left = 128 (we truncate the lower bits). We
get an interrupt, find that period_left = 64 (>0 so we return 0 and
don't get an overflow handler), up that to 128. Then we trigger again,
at n=256. Then we find period_left = -64 (<=0 so we return 1 and do get
an overflow). We increment with sample_period so we get left = 128. We
fire again, at n=384, period_left = 0 (<=0 so we return 1 and get an
overflow). And on and on.
So while the individual interrupts are 'wrong' we get then with
interval=256,128 in exactly the right ratio to average out at 192. And
this works for everything >=128.
So the num_samples*fixed_period thing is still entirely correct +- 127,
which is good enough I'd say, as you already have that error anyhow.
So no need to 'fix' the tools, al we need to do is refuse to create
INST_RETIRED:ALL events with sample_period < 128.

Add Broadwell support for Broadwell to perf.
The basic support is very similar to Haswell. We use the new cache
event list added for Haswell earlier. The only differences
are a few bits related to remote nodes. To avoid an extra,
mostly identical, table these are patched up in the initialization code.
The constraint list has one new event that needs to be handled over Haswell.
Includes code and testing from Kan Liang.

Haswell offcore events are quite different from Sandy Bridge.
Add a new table to handle Haswell properly.
Note that the offcore bits listed in the SDM are not quite correct
(this is currently being fixed). An uptodate list of bits is
in the patch.
The basic setup is similar to Sandy Bridge. The prefetch columns
have been removed, as prefetch counting is not very reliable
on Haswell. One L1 event that is not in the event list anymore
has been also removed.
- data reads do not include code reads (comparable to earlier Sandy Bridge tables)
- data counts include speculative execution (except L1 write, dtlb, bpu)
- remote node access includes both remote memory, remote cache, remote mmio.
- prefetches are not included in the counts for consistency
(different from Sandy Bridge, which includes prefetches in the remote node)

Currently it is possible for an NMI (or FIQ on ARM) to come in
and read sched_clock() whilst update_sched_clock() has locked
the seqcount for writing. This results in the NMI handler
locking up when it calls raw_read_seqcount_begin().
This patch fixes the NMI safety issues by providing banked clock
data. This is a similar approach to the one used in Thomas
Gleixner's 4396e058c52e("timekeeping: Provide fast and NMI safe
access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC").
