      perf tools: Add Intel PT support for decoding TRACESTOP packets · 7eacca3e
      Adrian Hunter authored
      A TRACESTOP packet is produced when an Intel PT trace enters a defined
      region of the address space at which point the tracing stops.
      
      This patch just adds decoder support.
      
      Support for specifying TRACESTOP regions is left until later.
      
      For details refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32
      Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

      perf tools: Add Intel PT support for using CYC packets · 0de802ab
      Adrian Hunter authored
      CYC packets are a new Intel PT feature.
      
      CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and
      TSC packets.  A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the
      last CYC packet. Unlike MTC and TSC packets, CYC packets are only sent
      when another packet is also sent.
      
      Support for this feature is indicated by:
      
      /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/psb_cyc
      
      which contains "1" if the feature is supported and "0" otherwise.
      
      CYC packets can be requested using a PMU config term e.g. perf record -e
      intel_pt/cyc/u sleep 1
      
      The frequency of CYC packets can also be specified.  e.g. perf record -e
      intel_pt/cyc,cyc_thresh=2/u sleep 1
      
      CYC packets are not requested by default.
      
      Valid cyc_thresh values are given by:
      
      /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/cycle_thresholds
      
      which contains a hexadecimal value, the bits of which represent valid
      values e.g. bit 2 set means value 2 is valid.
      
      The value represents the minimum number of CPU cycles that must have
      passed before a CYC packet can be sent.  The number of CPU cycles is:
      
          2 ^ (value - 1)
      
      e.g. value 4 means 8 CPU cycles must pass before a CYC packet can be
      sent.  Note a CYC packet is still only sent when another packet is sent,
      not at, e.g. every 8 CPU cycles.
      
      If an invalid value is entered, the error message will give a list of
      valid values e.g.
      
          $ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,cyc_thresh=15/u uname
          Invalid cyc_thresh for intel_pt. Valid values are: 0-12
      
      tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt is updated in a later patch as
      there are a number of new features being added.
      
      For more information refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32
      Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

      CYC packets provide even finer grain timestamp information than MTC and
      TSC packets.  A CYC packet contains the number of CPU cycles since the
      last CYC packet.
      
      This patch just adds decoder support.  The CPU frequency can be related
      to TSC using the Maximum Non-Turbo Ratio in combination with the CBR
      (core-to-bus ratio) packet.  However more accuracy is achieved by simply
      interpolating the number of cycles between other timing packets like MTC
      or TSC.  This patch takes the latter approach.
      
      Support for a default value and validation of values is provided by a
      later patch. Also documentation is updated in a separate patch.

      e.g. value 3 means one eighth of CTC-frequency
      
      Where CTC is the hardware crystal clock, the frequency of which can be
      related to TSC via values provided in cpuid leaf 0x15.

      perf tools: Pass Intel PT information for decoding MTC and CYC · 11fa7cb8
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Record additional information in the AUXTRACE_INFO event in preparation
      for decoding MTC and CYC packets.  Pass the information to the decoder.
      
      The AUXTRACE_INFO record can be extended by using the size to indicate
      the presence of new members.
      
      The additional information includes PMU config bit positions and the TSC
      to CTC (hardware crystal clock) ratio needed to decode MTC packets.

      perf tools: Add new Intel PT packet definitions · 3d498078
      Adrian Hunter authored
      New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new
      packet definitions.
      
      This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS,
      TRACESTOP and MNT.  Also another bit in PIP is defined.
      
      This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add
      support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those
      packets are explained.
      
      VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which
      is not supported yet.  MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder
      should ignore.
      
      For details, refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32
      Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

      perf tools: Add Intel PT support for PSB periods · bc9b6bf0
      Adrian Hunter authored
      The PSB packet is a synchronization packet that provides a starting
      point for decoding or recovery from errors.
      
      This patch adds support for a new Intel PT feature that allows the
      frequency of PSB packets to be specified.
      
      Support for this feature is indicated by
      /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/psb_cyc which contains "1"
      if the feature is supported and "0" otherwise.
      
      The PSB period can be specified as a PMU config term e.g. perf record -e
      intel_pt/psb_period=2/u sleep 1
      
      The default value is 3 or the nearest lower value that is supported.  0
      is always supported.
      
      Valid values are given by:
      
      /sys/bus/event_source/devices/intel_pt/caps/psb_periods
      
      which contains a hexadecimal value, the bits of which represent valid
      values e.g. bit 2 set means value 2 is valid.
      
      The value is converted to the approximate number of trace bytes between
      PSB packets as:
      
      	2 ^ (value + 11)
      
      e.g. value 3 means 16KiB bytes between PSBs
      
      If an invalid value is entered, the error message will give a list of
      valid values e.g.
      
      	$ perf record -e intel_pt/psb_period=15/u uname
      	Invalid psb_period for intel_pt. Valid values are: 0-5
      
      tools/perf/Documentation/intel-pt.txt is updated in a later patch as
      there are a number of new features being added.
      
      For more information about PSB periods refer to the Intel 64 and IA-32
      Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace from June 2015 or
      later.

      A problem can occur in a statically linked perf when vmlinux can be found:
      
       # perf probe --add sys_epoll_pwait
       probe-definition(0): sys_epoll_pwait
       symbol:sys_epoll_pwait file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
       0 arguments
       Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
       Using /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux for symbols
       Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux
       Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
       Symbol sys_epoll_pwait address found : ffffffff8122bd40
       Matched function: SyS_epoll_pwait
       Failed to get call frame on 0xffffffff8122bd40
       An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
         Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)
      
      The reason is caused by libdw that, if libdw is statically linked, it
      can't load libebl_{arch}.so reliable.
      
      In this case it is still possible to get the address from
      /proc/kalksyms.  However, perf tries that only when libdw returns
      -EBADF.
      
      This patch gives it another chance to utilize symbol table, even if
      libdw returns an error code other than -EBADF.
      
      After applying this patch:
      
       # perf probe -nv --add sys_epoll_pwait
       probe-definition(0): sys_epoll_pwait
       symbol:sys_epoll_pwait file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
       0 arguments
       Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
       Using /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux for symbols
       Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux
       Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
       Symbol sys_epoll_pwait address found : ffffffff8122bd40
       Matched function: SyS_epoll_pwait
       Failed to get call frame on 0xffffffff8122bd40
       An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
       Trying to use symbols.
       Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
       Added new event:
       Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_pwait _text+2276672
         probe:sys_epoll_pwait (on sys_epoll_pwait)
      
       You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
      
       	perf record -e probe:sys_epoll_pwait -aR sleep 1
      
      Although libdw returns an error (Failed to get call frame), perf tries
      symbol table and finally gets correct address.

      perf tools: Initialize reference counts in map__clone() · 66671d00
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Map clone was written before we introduced reference counts for
      maps and dsos, so all that was needed was just a copy and then we
      would insert it into the new map_groups instance.
      
      Fix it by, after copying, initializing the map->refcnt, grabbing
      a struct dso refcount and resetting pointers that may be used
      to determine if a map, when deleted, is in a rb_tree.

      perf tools: Add Intel BTS support · d0170af7
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Intel BTS support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure.  Recording is
      supporting by identifying the Intel BTS PMU, parsing options and setting up
      events.
      
      Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by thread and then decoding
      synchronously delivering synthesized event samples into the session processing
      for tools to consume.

      The second warning was a result of the first warning not stopping
      processing after it detected the issue.
      
      That is, code that found the issue reported the first problem, but
      because it did not exit out of the functions smoothly, it caused the
      other warning to appear and not only that, it later caused the SIGSEGV.

      perf tools: Fix Intel PT timestamp handling · 81cd60cc
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Events that don't sample the timestamp have a timestamp value of -1.
      
      Intel PT processing wasn't taking that into account.
      
      This is particularly noticeable with Intel BTS because timestamps are
      not requested by default.
      
      Then, if the conversion of -1 to TSC results in a small number, the
      processing is unaffected.
      
      However if the conversion results in a big number, then the data is
      processed prematurely before relevant sideband data like mmap events,
      which in turn results in samples with unknown dsos.
      
      Commiter note:
      
      Since BTS wasn't upstream, I split the patch to fold the BTS part with
      the patch introducing it, to avoid having this bug in the commit
      history. PT was already upstream, so this patch contains that part.

      Change it to pr_debug and instead put a note in the message displayed if
      annotation is not possible.
      
      Also, the file being accessed might not be /proc/kcore.  Tools can be
      directed to a different location using the --kallsyms option in which
      case kcore is expected to be in the same directory.  Adjust the message
      so it is not misleading in that case.

      perf script: Fix segfault using --show-mmap-events · 05169df5
      Adrian Hunter authored
      Patch "perf script: Don't assume evsel position of tracking events"
      changed 'perf script' to use 'perf_evlist__id2evsel()'. That results
      in a segfault if there is more than 1 event and there are
      synthesized mmap events e.g.
      
      	$ perf record -e cycles,instructions -p$$ sleep 1
      	$ perf script --show-mmap-events
      	Segmentation fault (core dumped)
      
      That happens because these synthesized events have an 'id' of zero
      which does not match any 'evsel'.
      
      Currently, these synthesized events use the sample type of the first
      evsel.
      
      Change 'perf_evlist__id2evsel()' to reflect that which also makes
      it consistent with 'perf_evlist__event2evsel()'.

      perf/x86/msr: Fix the MSR driver build · 82819ffb
      Ingo Molnar authored
      The new MSR PMU driver made use of rdtsc() which does not exist (yet) in
      this tree:
      
        arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_msr.c:91:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'rdtsc'
      
      Use the old rdtscll() primitive for now.

      Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
        - Fix buildid processing done at the end of a 'perf record' session, a
          problem that happened in workloads involving lots of small short-lived
          processes.  That code was not asking the perf_session layer to order
          the events.
      
          Make the code more robust to handle some of the problems with such
          out-of-order events and fix 'perf record' to ask for ordered events
          on systems where we have perf_event_attr.sample_id_all.  (Adrian Hunter)
      
        - Show backtrace when handling a SIGSEGV in 'perf top --stdio' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
