Attempting to profile 1024 or more CPUs with perf causes two errors:
perf record -a
[ perf record: Woken up X times to write data ]
way too many cpu caches..
[ perf record: Captured and wrote X MB perf.data (X samples) ]
perf report -C 1024
Error: failed to set cpu bitmap
Requested CPU 1024 too large. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS
Increasing MAX_NR_CPUS from 1024 to 2048 and redefining MAX_CACHES as
MAX_NR_CPUS * 4 returns normal functionality to perf:
perf record -a
[ perf record: Woken up X times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote X MB perf.data (X samples) ]
perf report -C 1024

One can just record callchains in the kernel or user space with this new
options.
We can use it together with "--all-kernel" options.
This two options is used just like print_stack(sys) or print_ustack(usr)
for systemtap.
Shown below is the usage of this new option combined with "--all-kernel"
options:
1. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
kernel callchains.
$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --kernel-callchains
2. Configure all used events to run in kernel space and just collect
user callchains.
$ perf record -a -g --all-kernel --user-callchains
Committer notes:
Improved documentation to state that asking for kernel callchains really
is asking for excluding user callchains, and vice versa.
Further mentioned that using both won't get both, but nothing, as both
will be excluded.

Implemented PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED event, related data types, header
feature and functions to write, read and print feature attributes from
the trace header section.
comp_mmap_len preserves the size of mmaped kernel buffer that was used
during collection. comp_mmap_len size is used on loading stage as the
size of decomp buffer for decompression of COMPRESSED events content.
Committer notes:
Fixed up conflict with BPF_PROG_INFO and BTF_BTF header features.

Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120

Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building

Currently, monitoring of BPF programs through bpf_event is off by
default for 'perf record'.
To turn it on, the user need to use option "--bpf-event". As BPF gets
wider adoption in different subsystems, this option becomes
inconvenient.
This patch makes bpf_event on by default, and adds option "--no-bpf-event"
to turn it off. Since option --bpf-event is not released yet, it is safe
to remove it.

This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.
Committer notes:
Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.
Remove the needless include <machine.h> from bpf->event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.
Committer testing:
When running with:
# perf record --bpf-event
On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:
perf_event_attr:

{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID

------------------------------------------------------------
And then proceeds to work without those two features.
As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.
Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:
[root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ]

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

This patch permits setting a different default with the

The trace file offset is read once before mmaps iterating loop and
written back after all performance data is enqueued for aio writing.
The trace file offset is incremented linearly after every successful aio
write operation.
record__aio_sync() blocks till completion of the started AIO operation
and then proceeds.
record__aio_mmap_read_sync() implements a barrier for all incomplete
aio write requests.

The UAPI file byteorder/little_endian.h uses the __always_inline define
without including the header where it is defined, linux/stddef.h, this
ends up working in all the other distros because that file gets included
seemingly by luck from one of the files included from little_endian.h.
But not on Alpine:edge, that fails for all files where perf_event.h is
included but linux/stddef.h isn't include before that.
Adding the missing linux/stddef.h file where it breaks on Alpine:edge to
fix that, in all other distros, that is just a very small header anyway.

We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own, but
they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf,
libbfd/libibery.
The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality.
This patch provides a new option '-vv' for perf which will print the
compiled-in status of libraries.
The 'perf -vv' is mapped to 'perf version --build-options'.
For example:
$ ./perf -vv

Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like:
$ perf record ls | perf report
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
perf: Segmentation fault
Error:
The - file has no samples!
The callstack of the crash is:
0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
3513 ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]);

#7 0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv
#8 0x00000000004cc422 in main
The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array
allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it.
We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because
it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for
single event as a key for evsel update event.
Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when
we are in pipe mode.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.

Adding perf_evsel::ignore_missing_cpu_thread bool.
When set true, it allows perf to ignore error of missing pid of perf
event syscall.
We remove missing thread id from the thread_map, so the rest of the
processing like ioctl and mmap won't get disturbed with -1 fd.
The reason for supporting this is to ease up monitoring group of pids,
that 'disappear' before perf opens their event. This currently leads
perf to report error and exit and makes perf record's -u option unusable
under certain setup.
With this change we will allow this race and ignore such failure with
following warning:

When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:
# perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null
send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:
# perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789: raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512

Fail to unwind
This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.

^^^^^
Correct unwind
This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.
However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.
Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

This patch allows following config terms and option:
Globally setting events to overwrite;
# perf record --overwrite ...
Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.
# perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
# perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...
Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.
For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.
Test result:

Allow user to easily switch all events to user or kernel space with simple
--all-user or --all-kernel options.
This will be handy within perf mem/c2c wrappers to switch easily monitoring
modes.

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

If the option -T is used with option --per-thread, then time is still
not sampled. Fix that by using OPT_BOOLEAN_SET to distinguish when the
user used the -T option as opposed to the default case when timestamps
are enabled but only for per-cpu recording.

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.
This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.
Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.
Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

Teach perf-record about the new perf_event_attr::{use_clockid, clockid}
fields. Add a simple parameter to set the clock (if any) to be used for
the events to be recorded into the data file.
Since we store the entire perf_event_attr in the EVENT_DESC section we
also already store the used clockid in the data file.
