0d37aa34f8 perf tools: Introduce per user view
The new --uid command line option will show only the tasks for a given
user, using the proc interface to figure out the existing tasks.

Kernel work is needed to close races at startup, but this should already
be useful in many use cases.

99320cc824 perf tools: Add support for guest/host-only profiling
To restrict a counter to either host or guest mode this patch introduces
two new event modifiers: G and H.

With G the counter is configured in guest-only mode and with H in
host-only mode.

efad14150a perf report: Accept fifos as input file
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

 # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
 failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

 perf annotate
 perf buildid-list
 perf evlist
 perf kmem
 perf lock
 perf report
 perf sched
 perf script
 perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.

v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
  builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
  browser if stdout is a pipe"

e60770a01b perf test: Allow running just a subset of the available tests
To obtain a list of available tests:

[root@emilia linux]# perf test list
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms
 2: detect open syscall event
 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus
 4: read samples using the mmap interface
 5: parse events tests
[root@emilia linux]#

To list just a subset:

[root@emilia linux]# perf test list syscall
 2: detect open syscall event
 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus
[root@emilia linux]#

To run a subset:

[root@emilia linux]# perf test detect
 2: detect open syscall event: Ok
 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
[root@emilia linux]#

Specific tests can be chosen by number:

[root@emilia linux]# perf test 1 3 parse
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
 5: parse events tests: Ok
[root@emilia linux]#

Now to write more tests!

c8e6672035 perf tools: make -C consistent across commands (for cpu list arg)
Currently the meaning of -C varies by perf command: for perf-top,
perf-stat, perf-record it means cpu list. For perf-report it means comm
list. Then perf-annotate, perf-report and perf-script use -c for cpu
list.

Fix annotate, report and script to use -C for cpu list to be consistent
with top, stat and record. This means report needs to use -c for comm
list which does introduce a backward compatibility change.

v1 -> v2
- update perf-script.txt too

fbe96f29ce perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)
The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
what was recorded, on what machine and when.

This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format.  The
change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.

We define the following useful new extensions:
 - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
 - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
 - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
 - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
 - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
 - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
 - HEADER_VERSION: perf version
 - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
 - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
 - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication

The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
ASCII strings.

Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
topology may be requested with the -I option.

Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
this patch.

ab81f3fd35 perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classes
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':

1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
   "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
   that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.

And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:

[root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso
PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs)

All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols,
etc.

The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the
zoom operations, do annotation, etc.

This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as
well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

56f3bae706 perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere
This perf stat option emulates valgrind's --log-fd option, allowing the
user to send perf results elsewhere, and leaving stderr for use by the
program under test.  This complements --output file option, and is
mutually exclusive with it.

   3>results  perf stat --log-fd 3          -- $cmd
   3>>results perf stat --log-fd 3 --append -- $cmd

The perl distro's make test.valgrind target uses valgrind's --log-fd
option, I've adapted it to invoke perf also, and tested this patch
there.

4aa9015f8b perf stat: Add -o and --append options
This patch adds an option (-o) to save the output of perf stat into a
file. You could do this with perf record but not with perf stat.
Instead, you had to fiddle with stderr to save the counts into a
separate file.

The patch also adds the --append option so that results can be
concatenated into a single file across runs. Each run of the tool is
clearly separated by a comment line starting with a hash mark. The -A
option of perf record is already used by perf stat, so we only add a
long option.

$ cat res.txt

e71a059832 perf annotate: Add --symfs option
If you have --symfs in perf report, then you also need it for perf
annotate.  This allows off-box assembly level analysis of perf.data

3e6a2a7f3b perf annotate: Make output more readable
This patch adds two new options to perf annotate:
	- --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings
	- --no-source  : Do not interleave source code with assembly code

We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable.

Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and
especially optimized code.

Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

14a8fd7cee perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modules
Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.

E.g)
 # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
   -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
 Add new events:
   probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
   probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)

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

         perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

5d67be97f8 perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range
Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C <comms>.

 v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
	- Added -c to perf script
	- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
	- Update documentation

 v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

d797fdc5c5 perf tools: Add inverted call graph report support.
Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
graph statistics.

Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.

610723f24e perf script: Make printing of dso a separate field option
The 'sym' option displays both the function name and the DSO it comes
from. Split the display of the dso into a separate option.  This allows
display of the ip address and symbol without the dso, thus shortening
line lengths - and decluttering the output a bit.

787bef174f perf script: "sym" field really means show IP data
Currently the "sym" output field is used to dump instruction pointers
and callchain stack. Sample addresses can also be converted to symbols,
so the meaning of "sym" needs to be fixed. This patch adds an "ip"
option and if it is selected the user can also opt to dump symbols for
them. If the user opts to dump IP without syms only the address is
shown.

625f2a378e sched: Get rid of lock_depth
Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work.  Let's get rid of it now.

Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

745f43e343 perf script: Support custom field selection for output
Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).

Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.

Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.

Examples (output compressed)

1. trace, default format

perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script

swapper    0 [000] 537.037184: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0...
   sshd 1675 [000] 537.037309: sched_switch: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=1675...
netstat 1692 [001] 537.038664: sched_switch: prev_comm=netstat prev_pid=1692...

2. trace, custom format

perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script -f comm,pid,time,trace     <--- omitting cpu and event name

swapper    0 537.037184: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 ...
   sshd 1675 537.037309: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=1675 prev_prio=120 ...

023695d96e perf tool: Add cgroup support
This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.

The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.

Example:

$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

      2,368,667,414  cycles                   test1
      2,369,661,459  cycles
      <not counted>  cycles                   test2

acac03fa15 perf record: Add "nodelay" mode, disabled by default
Sometimes there is a need to use perf in "live-log" mode. The problem
is, for seldom events, actual info output is largely delayed because
perf-record reads sample data in whole pages.

So for such scenarious, add flag for perf-record to go in "nodelay"
mode. To track e.g. what's going on in icmp_rcv while ping is running
Use it with something like this:

(1) $ perf probe -L icmp_rcv | grep -U8 '^ *43\>'
                                    goto error;
                    }
         38         if (!pskb_pull(skb, sizeof(*icmph)))
                            goto error;
                    icmph = icmp_hdr(skb);

         43         ICMPMSGIN_INC_STATS_BH(net, icmph->type);
                    /*
                     *      18 is the highest 'known' ICMP type. Anything else is a mystery
                     *
                     *      RFC 1122: 3.2.2  Unknown ICMP messages types MUST be silently
                     *                discarded.
                     */
         50         if (icmph->type > NR_ICMP_TYPES)
                            goto error;

    $ perf probe icmp_rcv:43 'type=icmph->type'

(2) $ cat trace-icmp.py
    [...]
    def trace_begin():
            print "in trace_begin"

    def trace_end():
            print "in trace_end"

    def probe__icmp_rcv(event_name, context, common_cpu,
            common_secs, common_nsecs, common_pid, common_comm,
            __probe_ip, type):
                    print_header(event_name, common_cpu, common_secs, common_nsecs,
                            common_pid, common_comm)

                    print "__probe_ip=%u, type=%u\n" % \
                    (__probe_ip, type),
    [...]

(3) $ perf record -a -D -e probe:icmp_rcv -o - | \
      perf script -i - -s trace-icmp.py

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for pointing how to do it.

ec5761eab3 perf symbols: Add symfs option for off-box analysis using specified tree
The symfs argument allows analysis of perf.data file using a locally accessible
filesystem tree with debug symbols - e.g., tree created during image builds,
sshfs mount, loop mounted KVM disk images, USB keys, initrds, etc. Anything
with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a
local data store with build-ids.

Commiter notes:

o Fixed up symfs="/" variants handling.

o prefixed DSO__ORIG_GUEST_KMODULE case with symfs too, avoiding use of files
  outside the symfs directory.

First column is the cpu and the second the timestamp.

That way we can investigate problems in the event stream.

If the new perf binary is run on an older kernel, it will disable this feature
automatically.

Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be
used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B,
add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when
-x is used.
