c8a3775104 perf sched: Sanity check context switch events
Use 'perf sched latency' to track the current task based on
context-switch events, and flag the cases where there's some
impossible transition: such as a PID being switched out that
was not switched in.

dc02bf7178 perf sched: Account for lost events, increase default buffering
Output such lost event and state machine weirdness stats:

   TOTAL:                |  14974.910 ms |    46384 |
  ---------------------------------------------------
   INFO: 8.865% lost events (19132 out of 215819, in 8 chunks)
   INFO: 0.198% state machine bugs (49 out of 24708) (due to lost events?)

And increase buffering to -m 1024 (4 MB) by default. Since we
use output multiplexing that kind of space is needed.

Often it's useful to know the PID of the task as well - print it
out too.

( While at it, reformat the output to be a bit more

ea57c4f520 perf tools: Implement counter output multiplexing
Finish the -M/--multiplex option implementation:

 - separate it out from group_fd

 - correctly set it via the ioctl and dont mmap counters that
   are multiplexed

 - modify the perf record event loop to deal with buffer-less
   counters.

 - remove the -g option from perf sched record

 - account for unordered events in perf sched latency

 - (add -f to perf sched record to ease measurements)

 - skip idle threads (pid==0) in latency output

The result is better latency output by 'perf sched latency':

aa1ab9d26a perf tools: Fix processing of randomly serialized sched traces
Currently it's possible to meet such too high latency results
with 'perf sched latency'.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Task              |  Runtime ms | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms |
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 xfce4-panel       |    0.222 ms |        2 | avg: 4718.345 ms | max: 9436.493 ms |
 scsi_eh_3         |    3.962 ms |       36 | avg:   55.957 ms | max: 1977.829 ms |

The origin is on traces that are sometimes badly serialized across cpus.
For example the raw traces that raised such results for xfce4-panel:

(1)          [init]-0     [000]  1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
(2)     xfce4-panel-4569  [000]  1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140]
(3)            Xorg-4276  [001]  1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(4)            Xorg-4276  [001]  1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(5)            perf-5219  [000]  1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]

The traces are processed in the order they arrive. Then in (2),
xfce4-panel sleeps, it is first waken up in (3) and eventually
scheduled in (5).

The latency reported is then 1504 - 1495 = 9 secs, as reported by perf
sched. But this is wrong, we are confident in the fact the traces are
nicely serialized while we should actually more trust the timestamps.

If we reorder by timestamps we get:

(1)            Xorg-4276  [001]  1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(2)          [init]-0     [000]  1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
(3)     xfce4-panel-4569  [000]  1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140]
(4)            Xorg-4276  [001]  1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(5)            perf-5219  [000]  1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]

Now the trace make more sense, xfce4-panel is sleeping. Then it is
woken up in (1), scheduled in (2)
It goes to sleep in (3), woken up in (4) and scheduled in (5).

Now, latency captured between (1) and (2) is of 39 us.
And between (4) and (5) it is 2.1 ms.

Such pattern of bad serializing is the origin of the high latencies
reported by perf sched.

Basically, we need to check whether wake up time is higher than
schedule out time. If it's not the case, we need to tag the current
work atom as invalid.

Beside that, we may need to work later on a better ordering of the
traces given by the kernel.

After this patch:

xfce4-session     |    0.221 ms |        1 | avg:    0.538 ms | max:    0.538 ms |

d13025222c perf tools: Add an option to multiplex counters in a single channel
Add an option to multiplex counters output in the channel of
the group leader, ie: the first counter opened:

	-M --multiplex

The effect is better serialized samples. This is especially
useful for tracepoint samples that need to be well serialized
for their post-processing.

Also make use of this option in 'perf sched'.

1fc35b29b4 perf sched: Implement the 'perf sched record' subcommand
Implement the 'perf sched record' subcommand that adds a
default list of events, turns on raw sampling and system-wide
tracing and passes off the rest of the command to perf record.

This is more convenient than having to specify the events all
the time.

Before:

 $ perf record -a -R -e sched:sched_switch:r -e sched:sched_stat_wait:r -e sched:sched_stat_sleep:r -e sched:sched_stat_iowait:r -e sched:sched_process_exit:r -e sched:sched_process_fork:r -e sched:sched_wakeup:r -e sched:sched_migrate_task:r -c 1 sleep 1

After:

 $ perf sched record -f sleep 1

Also fix an assumption in the event string parser that assumed
that strings passed in can be modified. (In this case they wont
be as they come from a readonly constant section.)

1756220530 perf sched: Rename struct lat_snapshot to struct work atoms
To measures the latencies, we capture the sched atoms data into
a specific structure named struct lat_snapshot.

As this structure can be used for other purposes of scheduler
profiling and mirrors what happens in a thread work atom, lets
rename it to struct work_atom and propagate this renaming in
other functions and structures names to keep it coherent.

cdce9d738b perf sched: Add sched latency profiling
Add the -l --latency option that reports statistics about the
scheduler latencies.

For now, the latencies are measured in the following sequence
scope:

- task A is sleeping (D or S state)
- task B wakes up A

         |

   latency timeframe

         |

- task A is scheduled in

Start by recording every scheduler events:

	perf record -e sched:*

and then fetch the results:

	perf sched -l

4653881802 perf sched: Fix bad event alignment
perf sched raises the following error when it meets a sched
switch event:

perf: builtin-sched.c:286: register_pid: Assertion `!(pid >= 65536)' failed.
Abandon

Currently in x86-64, the sched switch events have a hole in the
middle of the structure:

	u16 common_type;
	u8 common_flags;
	u8 common_preempt_count;
	u32 common_pid;
	u32 common_tgid;

	char prev_comm[16];
	u32 prev_pid;
	u32 prev_prio;
			<--- there
	u64 prev_state;
	char next_comm[16];
	u32 next_pid;
	u32 next_prio;

Gcc inserts a 4 bytes hole there for prev_state to be u64
aligned. And the events are exported to userspace with this
hole.

But in userspace, from perf sched, we fetch it using a
structure that has a new field in the beginning: u32 size. This
is because our trace is exported with its size as a field. But
now that we have this new field, the hole in the middle
disappears because it makes prev_state becoming well aligned.

And since we are using a pointer to the raw trace using this
struct, instead of reading prev_state, we are reading the hole.

We could fix it by keeping the size seperate from the struct
but actually there a lot of other potential problems: some
fields may be saved as long in a 64 bits system and later read
as long in a 32 bits system. Also this direct cast doesn't care
about the endianness differences between the host traced
machine and the machine in which we do the post processing.

So instead of using such dangerous direct casts, fetch the
values using the trace parsing API that already takes care of
all these problems.

bcd3279f46 perf tools: Allow the specification of all tracepoints at once
Currently, when one wants to activate every tracepoint
counters of a subsystem from perf record, the current sequence
is needed:

  perf record -e subsys:ev1 -e subsys:ev2 -e subsys:ev3

This may annoy the most patient of us.

Now we can just do:

  perf record -e subsys:*

via real threads and measured the replayed workload's
scheduling properties.

This is how it looked like in 'top' output:

0a02ad9331 perf: Add 'perf sched' tool
This turn-key tool allows scheduler measurements to be
conducted and the results be displayed numerically.

First baby step towards that goal: clone the new command off of
perf trace.

Fix a few other details along the way:

 - add (minimal) perf trace documentation

 - reorder a few places

 - list perf trace in the mainporcelain list as well
   as it's a very useful utility.

6b58e7f146 perf tools: Avoid unnecessary work in directory lookups
This patch improves some (common) inefficiencies in the
handling of directory lookups:

- not using the d_type information returned by the kernel

- constructing (absolute) paths for file operation even though
  directory-relative operations using the *at functions is
  possible

There are more places to fix but this is a start.

63d40deb2e perf stat: Use stddev_mean in stead of stddev
When we're computing the mean by sampling the distribution,
then the std dev of the mean is related to the std dev of the
sample set by:

  stddev_mean = std_dev / sqrt(N)

Which is exactly what we want.

This results in the error on the mean decreasing with
increasing number of samples.

Also fix the scaled == -1, aka not counted case.

506d4bc8d5 perf stat: Change noise calculation to use stddev
The current noise computation does:

 \Sum abs(n_i - avg(n)) * N^-1.5

Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the
complete sample set available to post-process.

Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be
done by keeping a two sums:

 stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 )

For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.

Make it clear to GCC that we intend with those pointers, by passing

We might want to add -fno-strict-aliasing as well, like the kernel
itself does.

9b8055a52c perf tools: Unify swapper tasks naming
In perf tools, we hardcode the pid 0 cmdline resolving to
"idle" because the init task is not included in the COMM
events.

But the idle tasks secondary cpus are resolved into their
"init" name through the COMM events.

We have then such strange result in perf report (ditto with
trace):

    19.66%       init    [kernel]          [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1
    17.32%       [idle]  [kernel]          [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1

It's then better to unify the swapper tasks into a single init
name.

3a2684ca58 perf tools: Resolve idle thread cmdline for perf trace
The cmd-trace tool used the cmdline file and resolved the idle
thread using a hardcoded check for the 0 task pid.

Now we have a centralized way to do that from perf using
register_idle_thread() API.

Before:
	:0-0     [000]     0.000000: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=name
	:0-0     [000]     0.000000: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=name

After:
	[idle]-0     [000]     0.000000: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=name
	[idle]-0     [000]     0.000000: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=name
