Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' 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:

User visible changes:

  - 'perf probe' improvements: (Masami Hiramatsu)

    - Support glob wildcards for function name
    - Support $params special probe argument: Collect all function arguments
    - Make --line checks validate C-style function name.
    - Add --no-inlines option to avoid searching inline functions

  - Introduce new 'perf bench futex' benchmark: 'wake-parallel', to
    measure parallel waker threads generating contention for kernel
    locks (hb->lock). (Davidlohr Bueso)

Bug fixes:

  - Improve 'perf top' to survive much longer on high core count machines,
    more work needed to refcount more data structures besides 'struct thread'
    and fix more races. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure changes:

  - Move barrier.h mb/rmb/wmb API from tools/perf/ to kernel like tools/arch/
    hierarchy. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Borrow atomic.h from the kernel, initially the x86 implementations
    with a fallback to gcc intrinsics for the other arches, all the kernel
    like framework in place for doing arch specific implementations,
    preferrably cloning what is in the kernel to the greater extent
    possible. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Protect the 'struct thread' lifetime with a reference counter,
    and protect data structures that contains its instances with
    a mutex. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

  - Disable libdw DWARF unwind when built with NO_DWARF (Naveen N. Rao)

Support glob wildcards for function name when adding new probes. This
will allow us to build caches of function-entry level information with
$params.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe --no-inlines --add 'kmalloc* $params'
  Added new events:
    probe:kmalloc_slab   (on kmalloc* with $params)
    probe:kmalloc_large_node (on kmalloc* with $params)
    probe:kmalloc_order_trace (on kmalloc* with $params)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

        perf record -e probe:kmalloc_order_trace -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe --list
    probe:kmalloc_large_node (on kmalloc_large_node@mm/slub.c with size flags node)
    probe:kmalloc_order_trace (on kmalloc_order_trace@mm/slub.c with size flags order)
    probe:kmalloc_slab   (on kmalloc_slab@mm/slab_common.c with size flags)

Add --no-inlines(--inlines) option to avoid searching inline functions.

Searching all functions which matches glob pattern can take a long time
and find a lot of inline functions.

With this option perf-probe searches target on the non-inlined
functions.

The futex-wake benchmark only measures wakeups done within a single
process. While this has value in its own, it does not really generate
any hb->lock contention.

A new benchmark 'wake-parallel' is added, by extending the futex-wake
code such that we can measure parallel waker threads. The program output
shows the avg per-thread latency in order to complete its share of
wakeups:

Run summary [PID 13474]: blocking on 512 threads (at [private] futex 0xa88668), 8 threads waking up 64 at a time.

[Run 1]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.6230 ms (+-15.31%)
[Run 2]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.5175 ms (+-29.95%)
[Run 3]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.7578 ms (+-18.03%)
[Run 4]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.8944 ms (+-12.54%)
[Run 5]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 1.1204 ms (+-23.85%)
Avg per-thread latency (waking 64/512 threads) in 0.7826 ms (+-9.91%)

Naturally, different combinations of numbers of blocking and waker
threads will exhibit different information.

In addition to using refcounts for the struct thread lifetime
management, we need to protect access to machine->threads from
concurrent access.

That happens in 'perf top', where a thread processes events, inserting
and deleting entries from that rb_tree while another thread decays
hist_entries, that end up dropping references and ultimately deleting
threads from the rb_tree and releasing its resources when no further
hist_entry (or other data structures, like in 'perf sched') references
it.

So the rule is the same for refcounts + protected trees in the kernel,
get the tree lock, find object, bump the refcount, drop the tree lock,
return, use object, drop the refcount if no more use of it is needed,
keep it if storing it in some other data structure, drop when releasing
that data structure.

I.e. pair "t = machine__find(new)_thread()" with a "thread__put(t)", and
"perf_event__preprocess_sample(&al)" with "addr_location__put(&al)".

The addr_location__put() one is because as we return references to
several data structures, we may end up adding more reference counting
for the other data structures and then we'll drop it at
addr_location__put() time.

The parisc stuff was just using the asm-generic/barrier.h, no need to
introduce a tools/arch/parisc/ tree just yet.

$params is similar to $vars but matches only function parameters not
local variables.

Thus, this is useful for tracing function parameter changing or tracing
function call with parameters.

Testing it:

 # perf probe tcp_sendmsg '$params'
 Added new event:
  probe:tcp_sendmsg    (on tcp_sendmsg with $params)

 You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:tcp_sendmsg -aR sleep 1

 # perf probe -l
  probe:tcp_sendmsg    (on tcp_sendmsg@acme/git/linux/net/ipv4/tcp.c with iocb sk msg size)

Skip the kernel symbols which is out of .text, e.g. the functions
in .inittext. Those are found in debuginfo/kallsyms, but already
freed from memory.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_caches_init
  vfs_caches_init+0 is out of .text, skip it.
  Probe point 'vfs_caches_init' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

Fix --line to check valid C-style function name and returns
a semantic error if it is not.

For example, previously, --line doesn't support lazy pattern
but it doesn't recognized as a semantic error.

  ----
  # perf probe -L 'func;return*:0-10'
  Specified source line is not found.
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  ----

With this patch, it is correctly handled as a semantic error.
  ----
  # perf probe -L 'func;return*:0-10'
  Semantic error :'func;return*' is not a valid function name.

On powerpc the perf event interrupt is not masked when interrupts are
disabled, allowing it to function as an NMI.

This causes problems if perf is using vmalloc. If we take a page fault
on the vmalloc region the fault handler will fail the page fault because
it detects we are coming in from an NMI (see do_hash_page()).

We don't actually need or want vmalloc backed perf so just disable it on
powerpc.

Stephane asked about PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_MIGRATIONS and I realized it
was borken:

The below cures this by marking a task as migrated and accounting it
on the subsequent sched_in().

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-3' 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:

User visible changes:

  - Improve --filter support for 'perf probe', allowing using its arguments
    on other commands, as --add, --del, etc (Masami Hiramatsu)

  - Show warning when running 'perf kmem stat' on a unsuitable perf.data file,
    i.e. one with events that are not the ones required for the stat variant
    used (Namhyung Kim).

Infrastructure changes:

  - Auxtrace support patches, paving the way to support Intel PT and BTS (Adrian Hunter)

  - hists browser (top, report) refactorings (Namhyung Kim)

The has_children and unfolded fields don't belong to the struct
map_symbol since they're used by the TUI only.  Move those fields out of
map_symbol since the struct is also used by other places.

This will also help to compact the sizeof struct hist_entry.

Currently perf_evsel__hists_browse() function spins on a huge loop and
handles many key actions.  Since it's hard to read and modify, let's
split it out into small helper functions.

The add_XXX_opt() functions are to register popup menu item on the
selected entry.  When it adds an item, it also saves related data into
struct popup_action and returns 1 so that it can increase the number of
items (nr_options).

With this change, we can simplify the code just to call selected
callback function without considering various conditions.  A callback
function named do_XXX is called with saved data when the item is
selected by user.

No functional change intended.

handles many key actions.  Since it's hard to read and modify, let's
split it out into small helper functions.

This patch introduces do_XXX() functions which corresponds to each goto
label.  This way we can call such functions both from key press actions
and popup menu actions.

No functional change intended.

The perf_session_env is to save system informantion at the recording
time to be refered in the hist browser.  So it'd be better to keep in
the struct hist_browser.  This is a preparation to later change.
