f5812a7a33 perf_counter tools: Adjust only prelinked symbol's addresses
I.e. we can't handle these two kinds of files in the same way:

1) prelinked system library:

[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
   278: 00000030450105a0   261 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 dwfl_report_elf@@ELFUTILS_0.122

2) not prelinked library with debug information from a -debuginfo package:

[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so.debug | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
   629: 00000000000105a0   261 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 dwfl_report_elf
[acme@doppio pahole]$

Now the numbers I got for a pahole perf run are in line with
the numbers I get from oprofile.

57e7986ed1 perf_counter: Provide a way to enable counters on exec
This provides a way to mark a counter to be enabled on the next
exec. This is useful for measuring the total activity of a
program without including overhead from the process that
launches it.

This also changes the perf stat command to use this new

051ae7f734 perf_counter tools: Reduce perf stat measurement overhead/skew
Vince Weaver reported a 'perf stat' measurement overhead in the
count of retired instructions, which can amount to a +6000
instructions inflated count in the reported count.

At present, perf stat creates its counters on the perf process.  Thus
the counters count the fork and various other activity in both the
parent and child, such as the resolver overhead for resolving PLT
entries for any libc functions that haven't been called before, such
as execvp.

This reduces the overhead by creating the counters on the child process
after the fork, using a couple of pipes to synchronize so that the
child process waits until the parent has created the counters before
doing the exec.  To eliminate the PLT resolution overhead on calling
execvp, this does a dummy execvp first which will always fail.

With this, the overhead of executing a program goes down from over
4800 instructions to about 90 instructions on powerpc (32-bit).
This was measured with a statically-linked program written in
assembler which only does the 3 instructions needed to call _exit(0).

Before:

$ perf stat -e 0:1:u ./three

 Performance counter stats for './three':

           4858  instructions

    0.001274523  seconds time elapsed

After:

$ perf stat -e 0:1:u ./three

 Performance counter stats for './three':

             92  instructions

    0.000468153  seconds time elapsed

c3043569dc perf stat: Micro-optimize the code: memcpy is only required if no event is selected and !null_run
Set attrs and nr_counters if no event is selected and !null_run.

Setting of attrs should depend on number of counters,
so we need to memcpy only for sizeof(default_attrs)

Also set nr_counters as ARRAY_SIZE(default_attrs) in place of
hardcoded value.

e6e18ec79b perf_counter: Rework the sample ABI
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.

Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.

This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

Since the only slashes we have in this file occur in the (absolute!)

3d906ef10a perf_counter tools: Handle overlapping MMAP events
Martin Schwidefsky reported "perf report" symbol resolution
problems on S390.

Since we only report MMAP, not MUNMAP, we have to deal with
overlapping maps.

We used to simply throw out the old map on the assumption whole
maps got unmapped. This obviously doesn't deal with partial
unmaps. However it appears some dynamic linkers do fancy
partial unmaps (s390), so do something more elaborate and
truncate the old maps, only removing them when they've been
fully covered.

This resolves (part of) the S390 symbol resolution problems.

c1f47b454c perf_counter tools: Fix vmlinux fallback when running on a different kernel
Lucas De Marchi reported that perf report and perf annotate
displays mismatching profile if a perf.data is analyzed on
an older kernel - even if the correct vmlinux is specified
via the -k option.

The reason is the fallback path in util/symbol.c:dso__load_kernel():

int dso__load_kernel(struct dso *self, const char *vmlinux,
                     symbol_filter_t filter, int verbose)
{
        int err = -1;

        if (vmlinux)
                err = dso__load_vmlinux(self, vmlinux, filter, verbose);

        if (err)
                err = dso__load_kallsyms(self, filter, verbose);

        return err;
}

dso__load_vmlinux() returns negative on error, but on success it
returns the number of symbols loaded - which confuses the function
to load the kallsyms.

This is normally harmless, as reporting is usually performed on the
same kernel that is analyzed - but if there's a mismatch then we
load the wrong kallsyms and create a non-sensical symbol tree.

The fix is to only fall back to kallsyms on errors.

9cffa8d533 perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long.  This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.

Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8.  These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.

The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__".  The other changes are:

* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
  to kill two remaining warnings.

 - rename --call <regex> to --parent <regex>

 - rename --sort call to --sort parent

 - rename [unmatched] to [other] - to signal that this is not

Also add pagefaults to the default parent-symbol pattern too,
as it's a 'syscall overhead category' in a sense.

6e7d6fdcbe perf report: Add --sort <call> --call <$regex>
Implement sorting by callchain symbols, --sort <call>.

It will create a new column which will show a match to
--call $regex or "[unmatched]".

e2eae0f560 perf report: Fix 32-bit printf format
Yong Wang reported the following compiler warning:

 builtin-report.c: In function 'process_overflow_event':
 builtin-report.c:984: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size

Which happens because we try to print ->ips[] out with a limited
format, losing the high 32 bits. Print it out using %016Lx instead.

3dfabc74c6 perf report: Add per system call overhead histogram
Take advantage of call-graph percounter sampling/recording to
display a non-trivial histogram: the true, collapsed/summarized
cost measurement, on a per system call total overhead basis:

 aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf record -g -a -f ~/hackbench 10
 aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf report -s symbol --syscalls | head -10
 #
 # (3536 samples)
 #
 # Overhead  Symbol
 # ........  ......
 #
     40.75%  [k] sys_write
     40.21%  [k] sys_read
      4.44%  [k] do_nmi
 ...

This is done by accounting each (reliable) call-chain that chains back
to a given system call to that system call function.

[ So in the above example we can see that hackbench spends about 40% of
  its total time somewhere in sys_write() and 40% somewhere in
  sys_read(), the rest of the time is spent in user-space. The time
  is not spent in sys_write() _itself_ but in one of its many child
  functions. ]

Or, a recording of a (source files are already in the page-cache) kernel build:

 $ perf record -g -m 512 -f -- make -j32 kernel
 $ perf report -s s --syscalls | grep '\[k\]' | grep -v nmi

     4.14%  [k] do_page_fault
     1.20%  [k] sys_write
     1.10%  [k] sys_open
     0.63%  [k] sys_exit_group
     0.48%  [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
     0.37%  [k] sys_read
     0.37%  [k] sys_execve
     0.20%  [k] sys_mmap
     0.18%  [k] sys_close
     0.14%  [k] sys_munmap
     0.13%  [k] sys_poll
     0.09%  [k] sys_newstat
     0.07%  [k] sys_clone
     0.06%  [k] sys_newfstat
     0.05%  [k] sys_access
     0.05%  [k] schedule

Shows the true total cost of each syscall variant that gets used
during a kernel build. This profile reveals it that pagefaults are
the costliest, followed by read()/write().

An interesting detail: timer interrupts cost 0.5% - or 0.5 seconds
per 100 seconds of kernel build-time. (this was done with HZ=1000)

The summary is done in 'perf report', i.e. in the post-processing
stage - so once we have a good call-graph recording, this type of
non-trivial high-level analysis becomes possible.

613d860229 perf record: Fix fast task-exit race
Recording with -a (or with -p) can race with tasks going away:

   couldn't open /proc/8440/maps

Causing an early exit() and no recording done.

Do not abort the recording session - instead just skip that task.

Also, only print the warnings under -v.

3efa1cc99e perf record/report: Add call graph / call chain profiling
Add the first steps of call-graph profiling:

 - add the -c (--call-graph) option to perf record
 - parse the call-graph record and printout out under -D (--dump-trace)

The call-graph data is not put into the histogram yet, but it
can be seen that it's being processed correctly:

0x3ce0 [0x38]: event: 35

the addition of new sample/trace formats.

42202dd56c perf stat: Add feature to run and measure a command multiple times
Add the --repeat <n> feature to perf stat, which repeats a given
command up to a 100 times, collects the stats and calculates an
average and a stddev.

For example, the following oneliner 'perf stat' command runs hackbench
5 times and prints a tabulated result of all metrics, with averages
and noise levels (in percentage) printed:

 aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf stat --repeat 5 ~/hackbench 10
 Time: 0.117
 Time: 0.108
 Time: 0.089
 Time: 0.088

The goal of this feature is to allow the reliance on these accurate
statistics and to know how many times a command has to be repeated
for the noise to go down to an acceptable level.

(The -v option can be used to see a line printed out as each run progresses.)

971738f366 perf annotate: Print a sorted summary of annotated overhead lines
It's can be very annoying to scroll down perf annotated output
until we find relevant overhead.

Using the -l option, you can now have a small summary sorted per
overhead in the beginning of the output.

Example:

./perf annotate -l -k ../../vmlinux -s __lock_acquire

Sorted summary for file ../../vmlinux

301406b9c6 perf annotate: Print the filename:line for annotated colored lines
When we have a colored line in perf annotate, ie a middle/high
overhead one, it's sometimes useful to get the matching line
and filename from the source file, especially this path prepares
to another subsequent one which will print a sorted summary of
midle/high overhead lines in the beginning of the output.

Filename:Lines have the same color than the concerned ip lines.

It can be slow because it relies on addr2line. We could also
use objdump with -l but that implies we would have to bufferize
objdump output and parse it to filter the relevant lines since
we want to print a sorted summary in the beginning.

974802eaa1 perf_counter: Add forward/backward attribute ABI compatibility
Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way.

We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying
the full structure size inside it.

When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail.
When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail
consists of 0s, otherwise fail.

If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's
native attribe size back into the provided structure.

Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter
creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in
the __reserved fields).

(This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)

A build error slipped in:

 builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
 builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

2f01190aa6 perf top: Wait for a minimal set of events before reading first snapshot
The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have
been read in the mapped perfcounter files.

Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the
snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be
displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate.

Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before
"print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this
value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it.
Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the
first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is
tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a
minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case
of high samples filters.

Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default
case.

39273ee975 perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directory
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.

The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.

The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
tools can pick it up automatically.
