      perf/x86/intel/ds: Introduce ->read() function for auto-reload events and flush the PEBS buffer there

There is no way to get exact auto-reload times and values which are needed
for event updates unless we flush the PEBS buffer.

Introduce intel_pmu_auto_reload_read() to drain the PEBS buffer for
auto reload event. To prevent races with the hardware, we can only
call drain_pebs() when the PMU is disabled.

      perf/x86/intel: Fix event update for auto-reload · d31fc13f
      Kan Liang authored 
      There is a bug when reading event->count with large PEBS enabled.

Here is an example:

  # ./read_count
  0x71f0
  0x122c0
  0x1000000001c54
  0x100000001257d
  0x200000000bdc5

In fixed period mode, the auto-reload mechanism could be enabled for
PEBS events, but the calculation of event->count does not take the
auto-reload values into account.

Anyone who reads event->count will get the wrong result, e.g x86_pmu_read().

This bug was introduced with the auto-reload mechanism enabled since
commit:

  851559e3 ("perf/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible")

Introduce intel_pmu_save_and_restart_reload() to calculate the
event->count only for auto-reload.

Since the counter increments a negative counter value and overflows on
the sign switch, giving the interval:

        [-period, 0]

the difference between two consequtive reads is:

 A) value2 - value1;
    when no overflows have happened in between,
 B) (0 - value1) + (value2 - (-period));
    when one overflow happened in between,
 C) (0 - value1) + (n - 1) * (period) + (value2 - (-period));
    when @n overflows happened in between.

Here A) is the obvious difference, B) is the extension to the discrete
interval, where the first term is to the top of the interval and the
second term is from the bottom of the next interval and C) the extension
to multiple intervals, where the middle term is the whole intervals
covered.

The equation for all cases is:

    value2 - value1 + n * period

Previously the event->count is updated right before the sample output.
But for case A, there is no PEBS record ready. It needs to be specially
handled.

Remove the auto-reload code from x86_perf_event_set_period() since
we'll not longer call that function in this case.

      perf/x86/intel: Properly save/restore the PMU state in the NMI handler · 82d71ed0
      Kan Liang authored 
      The PMU is disabled in intel_pmu_handle_irq(), but cpuc->enabled is not updated
accordingly.

This is fine in current usage because no-one checks it - but fix it
for future code: for example, the drain_pebs() will be modified to
fix an auto-reload bug.

Properly save/restore the old PMU state.

      perf/x86/intel: Fix large period handling on Broadwell CPUs · f605cfca
      Kan Liang authored 
      Large fixed period values could be truncated on Broadwell, for example:

  perf record -e cycles -c 10000000000

Here the fixed period is 0x2540BE400, but the period which finally applied is
0x540BE400 - which is wrong.

The reason is that x86_pmu::limit_period() uses an u32 parameter, so the
high 32 bits of 'period' get truncated.

This bug was introduced in:

  commit 294fe0f5 ("perf/x86/intel: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds")

It's safe to use u64 instead of u32:

 - Although the 'left' is s64, the value of 'left' must be positive when
   calling limit_period().

 - bdw_limit_period() only modifies the lowest 6 bits, it doesn't touch
   the higher 32 bits.

      trigger_on() means that the trigger is available but not ready, however
trigger_on() was making it ready. That can segfault if the signal comes
before trigger_ready(). e.g. (USR2 signal delivery not shown)

  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u -S sleep 1

      perf stat: Fix CVS output format for non-supported counters · 40c21898
      Ilya Pronin authored 
      When printing stats in CSV mode, 'perf stat' appends extra separators
when a counter is not supported:

<not supported>,,L1-dcache-store-misses,mesos/bd442f34-2b4a-47df-b966-9b281f9f56fc,0,100.00,,,,

Which causes a failure when parsing fields. The numbers of separators
should be the same for each line, no matter if the counter is or not
supported.

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.17-20180305' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Be more robust when drawing arrows in the annotation TUI, avoiding a
  segfault when jump instructions have as a target addresses in functions
  other that the one currently being annotated. The full fix will come in
  the following days, when jumping to other functions will work as call
  instructions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Allow asking for the maximum allowed sample rate in 'top' and
  'record', i.e. 'perf record -F max' will read the
  kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate sysctl and use it (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- When the user specifies a freq above kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate,
  Throttle it down to that max freq, and warn the user about it, add as
  well --strict-freq so that the previous behaviour of not starting the
  session when the desired freq can't be used can be selected (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Find 'call' instruction target symbol at parsing time, used so far in
  the TUI, part of the infrastructure changes that will end up allowing
  for jumps to navigate to other functions, just like 'call'
  instructions. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Use xyarray dimensions to iterate fds in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)

- Ignore threads for which the current user hasn't permissions when
  enabling system-wide --per-thread (Jin Yao)

- Fix some backtrace perf test cases to use 'perf record' + 'perf script'
  instead, till 'perf trace' starts using ordered_events or equivalent
  to avoid symbol resolving artifacts due to reordering of
  PERF_RECORD_MMAP events (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix crash in 'perf record' pipe mode, it needs to allocate the ID
  array even for a single event, unlike non-pipe mode (Jiri Olsa)

- Make annoying fallback message on older kernels with newer 'perf top'
  binaries trying to use overwrite mode and that not being present
  in the older kernels (Kan Liang)

- Switch last users of old APIs to the newer perf_mmap__read_event()
  one, then discard those old mmap read forward APIs (Kan Liang)

- Fix the usage on the 'perf kallsyms' man page (Sangwon Hong)

- Simplify cgroup arguments when tracking multiple events (weiping zhang)
