perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false.
So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up.
Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition
error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version
in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that
function.

A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.
perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore
To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.
The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).
The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().
The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure. That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned. So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().
Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.
Committer notes:
Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:
The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

We have map_groups__find_by_name() to look at the list of modules that
are in place for a given machine, so use it instead of traversing the
machine dso list, which also includes DSOs for userspace.
When merging the user and kernel DSO lists a bug was introduced where
'perf probe' stopped being able to add probes to modules using its short
name:
# perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
usbnet_start_xmit is out of .text, skip it.
Error: Failed to add events.
#
With this fix it works again:
# perf probe -m usbnet --add usbnet_start_xmit
Added new event:
probe:usbnet_start_xmit (on usbnet_start_xmit in usbnet)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:usbnet_start_xmit -aR sleep 1

If a session contains no events, we can get stuck in an infinite loop in
__perf_session__process_events, with a non-zero file_size and data_offset, but
a zero data_size.
In this case, we can mmap the entirety of the file (consisting of the file and
attribute headers), and fetch_mmaped_event will correctly refuse to read any
(unmapped and non-existent) event headers. This causes
__perf_session__process_events to unmap the file and retry with the exact same
parameters, getting stuck in an infinite loop.
This has been observed to result in an exit-time hang when counting
rare/unschedulable events with perf record, and can be triggered artificially
with the script below:
----
#!/bin/sh
printf "REPRO: launching perf\n";
./perf record -e software/config=9/ sleep 1 &
PERF_PID=$!;
sleep 0.002;
kill -2 $PERF_PID;
printf "REPRO: waiting for perf (%d) to exit...\n" "$PERF_PID";
wait $PERF_PID;
printf "REPRO: perf exited\n";
----
To avoid this, have __perf_session__process_events bail out early when
the file has no data (i.e. it has no events).
Commiter note:
I only managed to reproduce this when setting
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to '1' and changing the code to
purposefully not process any samples and no synthesized samples, i.e.
kptr_restrict prevents 'record' from synthesizing the kernel mmaps for
vmlinux + modules and since it is a workload started from perf, we don't
synthesize mmap/comm records for existing threads.
Adrian Hunter managed to reproduce it in his environment tho.

Per-pkg events need to be captured once per processor socket. The code
in check_per_pkg() ensures only one value per processor package is used.
However there is a problem with this function in case the first CPU of
the package does not measure anything for the per-pkg event, but other
CPUs do.
Consider the following:
$ create cgroup FOO; echo $$ >FOO/tasks; taskset -c 1 noploop &
$ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ -G FOO sleep 100
1.00000 <not counted> Bytes intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ FOO
The reason for this is that CPU0 in the cgroup has nothing running on it.
Yet check_per_plg() will mark socket0 as processed and no other event
value will be considered for the socket.
This patch fixes the problem by having check_per_pkg() only consider
events which actually ran.

In a couple of cases the 'comm' member of 'union event' has been used
instead of the correct member ('fork') when processing exit events.
In the cases where it has been used incorrectly, only the 'pid' and
'tid' are affected. The 'pid' value would be correct anyway because it
is in the same position in 'comm' and 'fork' events, but the 'tid' would
have been incorrectly assigned from 'ppid'.
However, for exit events, the kernel puts the current task in the 'ppid'
and 'ttid' which is the same as the exiting task. That is 'ppid' ==
'pid' and if the task is not multi-threaded, 'pid' == 'tid' i.e. the
data goes wrong only when tracing multi-threaded programs.
It is hard to find an example of how this would produce an error in
practice. There are 3 occurences of the fix:
1. perf script is only affected if !sample_id_all which only happens on
old kernels.
2. intel_pt is only affected when decoding without timestamps
and would probably still decode correctly - the exit event is
only used to flush out data which anyway gets flushed at the
end of the session
3. intel_bts also uses the exit event to flush data which
would probably not cause errors as it would get flushed at
the end of the session instead

SMPL_REG/SMPL_REG_END to avoid clashes with other header files.

There is a problem in the dwarf-regs.c files for sh, sparc and x86 where
it is possible to make an out-of-bounds array access when searching for
register names.
This patch fixes it by replacing '<=' to '<', so when register (number
== XXX_MAX_REGS), get_arch_regstr() will return NULL.

This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.
The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.
With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.
To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:
$ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....
To record any possible registers:
$ perf record -I .....
$ perf report --intr-regs ...
To display the register, one can use perf report -D
To list the available registers:
$ perf record --intr-regs=\?
available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

Before this patch there's no way to connect a loaded bpf object
to its source file. However, during applying perf's '--filter' to BPF
object, without this connection makes things harder, because perf loads
all programs together, but '--filter' setting is for each object.
The API of bpf_object__open_buffer() is changed to allow passing a name.
Fortunately, at this time there's only one user of it (perf test LLVM),
so we change it together.

This patch creates a new script (compaction-times) to report time
spent in mm compaction. It is possible to report times in nanoseconds
(default) or microseconds (-u).
The option -p will break down results by process id, -pv will further
decompose by each compaction entry/exit.
For each compaction entry/exit what is reported is controlled by the
options:
-t report only timing
-m report migration stats
-ms report migration scanner stats
-fs report free scanner stats
The default is to report all.
Entries may be further filtered by pid, pid-range or comm (regex).
The script is useful when analysing workloads that compact memory. The
most common example will be THP allocations on systems with a lot of
uptime that has fragmented memory.
This is an example of using the script to analyse a thpscale from
mmtests which deliberately fragments memory and allocates THP in 4
separate threads

print_aggr() fails to print per-core/per-socket statistics after commit
582ec0829b ("perf stat: Fix per-socket output bug for uncore events")
if events have differnt cpus. Because in print_aggr(), aggr_get_id needs
index (not cpu id) to find core/pkg id. Also, evsel cpu maps should be
used to get aggregated id.
Here is an example:

$ perf stat -e cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/ -C0,18 --per-core sleep 2

It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a
target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object
in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the
offset of that instruction by manually digging.
This patch enables following perf probe command syntax:
# perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615
And
# perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860
In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible
to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf
probe' to create the probing points.
v1 -> v2:
Drop the leading '+' in cmdline;
Allow uprobing at offset 0x0;
Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo.
v2 -> v3:
Split bugfix to a separated patch.
