While we can enable the perf sample records per tracepoint
counter, we may also want to enable this option for every
tracepoint counters to open, so that we don't need to add a
:record flag for all of them.
Add the -R, --raw-samples options for this purpose.

Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter:
-e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags
This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the
r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r
will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for
the given tracepoint counter.
In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated
by commas.

It is better than showing the map addr, this way at least we
know that we can't get the symtabs because the DSO was deleted
(system update) while an app still used such DSO.
Yeah, don't do that, but if you do, you'll figure it out
quicker this way.

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.
Say you launched:
perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
perf report -g fractal,10.0
And you got:
2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
|
|--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
| poll_freewait
| do_sys_poll
| sys_poll
| sysenter_dispatch
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0x1ffadea3c
|
|--7.14%-- __up_read
| up_read
| do_page_fault
| page_fault
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0xa0df710000000a
...
It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.
The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:
limit = 4 * 0.9;
The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%
We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we
ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an
upper percentage than the filter threshold.
It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the
percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't
reach 100%.
Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that
showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user
that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to
100.00%.
So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been
filtered but without more detail than their amount in each
branches. Example while filtering below 50%:
7.73% [k] delay_tsc

If we recorded with -g option to record the callchain, right now
we require a -g option to perf report as well - and people reported
this as unnecessary complication: the user already specified -g
once, no need to require it a second time.
So if the recording includes call-chains, display the callchain by
default from perf report.
( The user can override this default using "-g none" option from
perf report. )

When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it
raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an
empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did
something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met
an empty callchain that has to be ignored.
This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain
recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report
output starts with thousands of warning lines.

1. Ignore the -A argument if there is no perf.data file
2. Treat an empty file like a non existent file.
Else, perf will try to read the perf.data header, and fail with
an error.
Treating an empty file like a non-existent file makes sense,
since an interupted (as in SIGKILLed) perf could leave such
files around, and you don't want to annoy the user with errors
for files with no data in it.

The callchain fractal mode builds each new total hits in a new
branch of profiling by using the parent's hits of the current
branch plus the hits of the children.
This is wrong, the total hits of a branch should be made of the
sum of every children hits, we must ignore the parent hits in
this scope.
This patch also fixes another mistake with the hit counting.

This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9

The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.
- [...]
- Profit! :-)

It also allows you to forcefully disable demangling by using

We skip the display of idle routine related symbols because
they are typically rather erratic and confusing: they depend
on the IRQ rate or sometimes they dominate the profile if
they are polling based.
Add mwait_idle_with_hints too, this is one of the idle
routines on x86.

This patch fixes a spelling error that has resulted from copy
and pasting. The location of the error was found using a
semantic patch but the semantic patch was not trying to find
these errors. After looking things over it seemed logical that
this change was needed. Please review it and then include the
patch if it is in fact the correct change.

with such missing symbols:

vmlinux meets the criteria for symbol adjustment, which breaks vmlinux generated symbols.
Fix this by exempting vmlinux. This is a bit fragile in that someone could change the
kernel dso's name, but currently that name is also hardwired.

for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files
(the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it).
The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different
compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason.
But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct
are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage.
The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after
skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug
is not normally noticed.
.... except when you want every sample to be exact.
Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

perf stat and perf record currently look for all options on the command
line. This can lead to some confusion:
# perf stat ls -l
Error: unknown switch `l'
While we can work around this by adding '--' before the command, the git
option parsing code can stop at the first non option:
# perf stat ls -l
Performance counter stats for 'ls -l':

Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
because each inherited counter gets its own id.
His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
counters have a unique identifier so that events like
PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
sample streams.
This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
which might only take effect on the next cycle).
This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
_should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
reconstruction is important.
