Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.
Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded
sessions in addition to when we record sessions.
More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
the same time.
But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

This also simplifies things a bit by having the list head for the source
code to be in the dynamicly allocated part of struct annotation, that
way we don't have to pass it around, it can be found from the struct
symbol that is passed everywhere.

Rename "struct sym_ext" to "struct source_line", to give it a meaningful

is sorted by percentage one particular source code line appeared in the

If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for
sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of
events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without
timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In
other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples
correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed.
While processing all events without timestamps before events with
timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as
PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples.
Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would
not be attributed correctly.
This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to
unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps
on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print
out a warning if report -D was invoked.
This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to
test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as
record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

parsed.
This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the
identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu,
timestamp) just after before every event.
Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as
possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid
callchains, warning the user about it if it happens.
There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type,
that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be
removed.

Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.
Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.
The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.
While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.
Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.
The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:
perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.
Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.
This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).
I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump
addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look:
For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS
output is something like this:
000004ac <my_strlen>:
int my_strlen(const char *s)
4ac: 55 push %ebp
4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
{
i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there.
For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry
can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs,
e.g.
08048604 <zz_strlen>:
extern "C"
int zz_strlen(const char *s)
8048604: 55 push %ebp
8048605: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
8048607: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
{
So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll
have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for
ET_DYN cases.
(*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for
adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym()
Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN
dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was
empty.
The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from
non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is
wrong.
To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to
objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and
unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to
understand it.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
here.
Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to
process IP sample events:
int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the
global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all
this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like
annotate and report can further process the event by creating
hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs,
etc).
It in turn uses the new next layer function:
void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode,
enum map_type type, u64 addr,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread
one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE
too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into
account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all
these details in the addr_location given.
Tools that need a more compact API for plain function
resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one:
struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr,
symbol_filter_t filter)
So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool
needs, its just a matter of calling:
sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL);
The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy
parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.
With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is
always good, huh? :-)

Making the routines that were so far specific to the kernel maps
useful for all threads.
This is done by making the kernel maps be contained in a kernel

This gets the kernel specific routines closer to the userspace

resolving a symbol, as will be demonstrated in the next patches.

If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel

first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the

to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and
kernel will be created, then, later, when
kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call
maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded,

We need this because we get section relative addresses when
reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs
to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need
the address + section back again.
So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances
(that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over
the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that
particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to
match with annotate.
Verified that at least:
perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary
perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all
on a 'perf record perf top' session seems to work.

Representing modules as struct map entries, backed by a DSO, etc,
using /proc/modules to find where the module is loaded.
DSOs now can have a short and long name, so that in verbose mode we
can show exactly which .ko or vmlinux image was used.
As kernel modules now are a DSO separate from the kernel, we can
ask for just the hits for a particular set of kernel modules, just
like we can do with shared libraries:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -n --vmlinux
/home/acme/git/build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux --modules --dsos \[drm\] | head -15
84.58% 13266 Xorg [k] drm_clflush_pages
4.02% 630 Xorg [k] trace_kmalloc.clone.0
3.95% 619 Xorg [k] drm_ioctl
2.07% 324 Xorg [k] drm_addbufs
1.68% 263 Xorg [k] drm_gem_close_ioctl
0.77% 120 Xorg [k] drm_setmaster_ioctl
0.70% 110 Xorg [k] drm_lastclose
0.68% 106 Xorg [k] drm_open
0.54% 85 Xorg [k] drm_mm_search_free
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
Specifying --dsos /lib/modules/2.6.31-tip/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
would have the same effect. Allowing specifying just 'drm.ko' is left
for another patch.
Processing kallsyms so that per kernel module struct map are
instantiated was also left for another patch. That will allow
removing the module name from each of its symbols.
struct symbol was reduced by removing the ->module backpointer and
moving it (well now the map) to struct symbol_entry in perf top,
that is its only user right now.
The total linecount went down by ~500 lines.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

been dumped as root can be read (annotate/report) by a user
without the use of the --force.
Rationale is that root has plenty of ways to screw us (usually)
that do not require twisted schemes involving specially

Add an owner check to opening perf.data files and a switch to
silence it.
Because perf-report/perf-annotate are binary parsers reading
another users' perf.data file could be a security risk if the
file were explicitly engineered to trigger bugs in the parser
(we hope of course there are non such bugs, but you never
know).

It's not good to have it included in perf.h because it doesn't
make it flexible against other headers it may need (headers
that can also depend on perf.h and then create a recursive

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.
So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:
-Wcast-align
-Wformat=2
-Wshadow
-Winit-self
-Wpacked
-Wredundant-decls
-Wstack-protector
-Wstrict-aliasing=3
-Wswitch-default
-Wswitch-enum
-Wno-system-headers
-Wundef
-Wvolatile-register-var
-Wwrite-strings
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs
-Wold-style-definition
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wdeclaration-after-statement
And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.
The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.
I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.
If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)
I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.
I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.
[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
because each inherited counter gets its own id.
His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
counters have a unique identifier so that events like
PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
sample streams.
This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
which might only take effect on the next cycle).
This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
_should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
reconstruction is important.
[Does change the ABI a little, but I see no other way out]
