e.g., compiling i386 on x86_64 using:
$ make -C tools/perf ARCH=i386
fails with:
CC /tmp/pbuild/util/evsel.o
In file included from util/evsel.c:21:0:
util/perf_regs.h:5:23: fatal error: perf_regs.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Adding V=1 you see that the include argument for the arch is
'-Iarch/i386/include' is wrong. It is supposed to be -Iarch/x86/include
per the redefinition of ARCH in the Makefile.
According to the make manual,
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Override-Directive:
"If a variable has been set with a command argument (see Overriding
Variables), then ordinary assignments in the makefile are ignored. If
you want to set the variable in the makefile even though it was set
with a command argument, you can use an override directive ..."
Make it so.

With dynamic pmu allocation there are also dynamically assigned pmu ids.
These ids are used in event->attr.type to describe the pmu to be used
for that event. The information is available in sysfs, e.g:
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/breakpoint/type: 5
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/type: 4
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_fetch/type: 6
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/ibs_op/type: 7
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/software/type: 1
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/tracepoint/type: 2
These mappings are needed to know which samples belong to which pmu. If
a pmu is added dynamically like for ibs_fetch or ibs_op the type value
may vary.
Now, when decoding samples from perf.data this information in sysfs
might be no longer available or may have changed. We need to store it in
perf.data. Using the header for this. Now the header information created
with perf report contains an additional section looking like this:
# pmu mappings: ibs_op = 7, ibs_fetch = 6, cpu = 4, breakpoint = 5, tracepoint = 2, software = 1

Use command line string provided by the -e option to name events. This
way we get unique events names that also support pmu event syntax
(<pmu_name>/<config>/<modifier>). No need to reconstruct the name
anymore from its attributes. We use the event_desc of the header to
store the name in the perf.data header. Thus it is also available for
perf report.
Implemented by putting the parser in different states to parse events or
configs.
And since event names are now generated from the command line
specification. Update event names in test cases accordingly.

When we use a separate output directory, we add util/ to the include
path for the generated C files. However, this is currently added to the
end of the path, behind /usr/include/slang and /usr/include/gtk-2.0 if
use of the respective libraries is enabled. Thus the '#include
"../perf.h"' in util/parse-events.l can actually include
/usr/include/perf.h if it exists.
Move '-Iutil/' ahead of all the other preprocessor options.

In case of writing to perf.data the size is u32. In pipe mode it is

during development this may cause type missmatch warninngs/errors,

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.
The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.
With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
# perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls
resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.
All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.
Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
-e instructions ls
# 1 group
# (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
-e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls
It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:
# perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'
resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier

Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with
event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as
an update to the existing event modifiers.
Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function.
Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is
initialized/updated respectively.
Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember
if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the
default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group
modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set
by default or by event modifier.
Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset
the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups.
The grammar for group is:
groups: groups ',' group | group
group: group_name '{' events '}' group_mod
group_name: name | empty
group_mod: ':' group_mods | empty
group_mods: event_mod
It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier
for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event
modifiers.
It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on
command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of
the shells.
It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like:
'{cycles,faults}'
- anonymous group
'group1{cycles,faults}
- group with name 'group1'
'{cycles,faults}:k
- anonymous group with event modifier 'k'
'{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}'
- two anonymous groups
The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.
This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.
Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).
Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.
This fixes 2 issues:
- Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
function descriptors.
- On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
dynsym section.
Assumptions:
- If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
image with a dynsym section.
- This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
(ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
(which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).
The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
pass both runtime & debug images.
Assumptions made here:
- The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.
- The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.
Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).

Only one callsite of dso__load_sym() uses the want_symtab functionality,
so place the logic at the callsite instead of within dso__load_sym().
This sets us up for removal of want_symtab completely once we keep
multiple elf handles (within symsrc's) around.

Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an
external structure.
The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up
sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in
dso__load()).
We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of
function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions
don't point to their actual location, they point to their function
descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location.
It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end
up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for
the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need
to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).

If we call elf_section_by_name() with a truncated elf image (ie: the
file header indicates that the section headers are placed past the end
of the file), elf_strptr() causes a segfault within libelf.
Avoid this by checking that we can access the section string table
properly.
Should really be fixed in libelf/elfutils.

dso__load_vmlinux() uses the filename passed to it to directly set the

dso__load_vmlinux_path() treating 0 symbols as a load failure and
subsequently freeing the contents of dso->long_name.
Change dso__load_vmlinux() so that finding 0 symbols does not cause it
to consider itself loaded, and do not set long_name in such a case.

kallsyms__parse() takes a callback that is called on every discovered
symbol. As /proc/kallsyms does not supply symbol sizes, the callback was
simply called with end=start, faking the symbol size to 1.
All of the callbacks (there are 2) used in calls to kallsyms__parse()
are _only_ used as callbacks for kallsyms__parse().
Given that kallsyms__parse() lacks real information about what
end/length should be, don't make up a length in kallsyms__parse().
Instead have the callbacks handle guessing the length.
Also relocate a comment regarding symbol creation to the callback which
does symbol creation (kallsyms__parse() is not in general used to create
symbols).
