f7e7ee3675 perf record: Fix existing process callgraph symbol
When 'perf record -g' a existing process, even with debuginfo
packages, still cannnot get symbol from 'perf report'.

try:

 perf record -g -p `pidof xxx` -f

The reason is: for existing process, in __cmd_record(),
the pid is 0 rather than the existing process id.

6122e4e4f5 perf record: Stop intercepting events, use postprocessing to get build-ids
We want to stream events as fast as possible to perf.data, and
also in the future we want to have splice working, when no
interception will be possible.

Using build_id__mark_dso_hit_ops to create the list of DSOs that
back MMAPs we also optimize disk usage in the build-id cache by
only caching DSOs that had hits.

18c3daa496 perf record: Encode the domain while synthesizing MMAP events
In the past 'perf record' had to process only userspace MMAP
events, the ones generated in the kernel, but after we reused
the MMAP events to encode the module mapings we ended up adding
them first to the list of userspace DSOs (dsos__user) and to the
kernel one (dsos__kernel).

Fix this by encoding the header.misc field and then using it,
like other parts to decide the right DSOs list to insert/find.

The gotcha here is that since the kernel puts zero in .misc,
which isn't PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 1), to differentiate,
we put 1 in .misc.

b7cece7678 perf tools: Encode kernel module mappings in perf.data
We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules,
even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense
when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same
machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at
all, right Peter? ;-)

Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long
path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we
did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking
about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use
.{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so
that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right
away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we
did in the past (and now only in perf record).

One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally
be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

56b03f3c4d perf tools: Handle relocatable kernels
DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a
PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on
monitored threads.

To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having
'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded
like this:

[root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ]
[root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10

0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1
.
. ... raw event: size 64 bytes
.  0000:  01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........
.  0010:  00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...............
.  0020:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........  [kernel
.  0030:  6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00  kallsyms._text]
.  0xd0
[0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text]

I.e. we identify such event as having:

 .pid      = 0
 .filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME]
 .start    = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time

and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME.

Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and
thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME
and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must
change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as
the relocation to apply.

This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and
don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

4aa6563641 perf session: Move kmaps to perf_session
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.

Don't forget to also synthetize the targeted process from perf
record or we'll miss its dso in the events and then we won't be
able to deal with its build-id.

We are missing it because it is created after the existing
synthetized tasks but before the counters are enabled and can
send its mapping event.

c10edee2e1 perf tools: Fix permission checks
The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is
not root which results in a very confusing error message:

  $ perf record -A -a -f

    Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied)

    Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for
EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message:

  $ perf record -A -a -f
    Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

8d06367fa7 perf symbols: Use the buildids if present
With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.

'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.

When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.

Example:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
 /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
  # Samples: 2621434559
  #
  # Overhead          Command                  Shared Object  Symbol
  # ........  ...............  .............................  ......
  #
       7.91%             init  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.64%             init  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       3.65%             init  [kernel]        [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#

In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.

Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.

Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:

'perf list-buildids'

that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.

Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

2ba0825075 perf tools: Introduce bitmask'ed additional headers
This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
optional features present in the perf.data file.

The layout can be pictured like this:

(Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
n][Feature 255]

If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
compatibility.

The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
this is the first and only one for now.

This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.

And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
version.

03456a158d perf tools: Merge trace.info content into perf.data
This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.

This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.

A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.

That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.

But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

cdd6c482c9 perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
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. )

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':

cd6feeeafd perf trace: Sample the CPU too
Sample, record, parse and print the CPU field - it had all zeroes before.

Before (watch the second column, the CPU values):

            perf-32685 [000]     0.000000: sched_wakeup_new: task perf:32686 [120] success=1 [011]

After:

            perf-32685 [001]     0.000000: sched_wakeup_new: task perf:32686 [120] success=1 [011]

            true-32686 [015]     0.000000: sched_stat_sleep: task: distccd:12793 sleep: 131724 [ns]

So we can now see how this workload migrated between CPUs.

1ef2ed1066 perf tools: Only save the event formats we need
While opening a trace event counter, every events are saved in
the trace.info file. But we only want to save the
specifications of the events we are using.

9df37ddd81 perf tools: Record events info also when :record suffix is used.
You can enable a counter's PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in two
fashions:

- using the -R option (every counters get PERF_SAMPLE_RAW)
- using the :record suffix in a trace event counter name

Currently we record the events info in a trace.info file from
perf record when the former method is used but we omit it with
the latter.

Check both situations.
