We should use "[unknown]" in this case, in concert with the code in
_hist_entry__dso_snprintf().
Otherwise we'll crash when recomputing the histogram column lengths in
hists__calc_col_len().

In perf_event__parse_sample(), the array variable was not incremented
by the amount of data used by the raw_data.
That was okay until we added PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK which depends on
the array variable pointing to the beginning of the branch stack data.
But that was not the case if branch stack was combined with raw mode
sampling. That led to bogus branch stack addresses and count.
The bug would show up with:
$ perf record -R -b foo
This patch fixes the problem by correctly moving the array pointer
forward for RAW samples.

The callchain stdio mode display was written using a sorted by symbol
report. In this mode we have only one callchain root per hist so we
forgot to handle cases where we have multiple callchain root, as in per
dso sorting for example.
Fix this by handling these roots like any other branch, with the hist as
the parent.

- hists data need to be collected into opened sessions instead
of into events
- session's hists data need to be initialized properly when the
session is created
- hist_entry__pcnt_snprintf: the percentage and displacement

The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it
is attached to.
The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in
single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last
one.
Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the
modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to
catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

This patch adds a simple GTK2-based browser to 'perf report' that's
based on the TTY-based browser in builtin-report.c.
To launch "perf report" using the new GTK interface just type:
$ perf report --gtk
The interface is somewhat limited in features at the moment:
- No callgraph support
- No KVM guest profiling support
- No color coding for percentages
- No sorting from the UI
- ..and many, many more!
That said, I think this patch a reasonable start to build future features on.

However they wouldn't be counted at all since only group leader will

In contrast to perf stat, perf record doesn't have a real problem

cpu/config=1,config1=2,config2=3/u
where pmu name 'cpu' is looked up via following path:
${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}
and config options are bound to the pmu's format definiton:
${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/format

- this function configures perf_event_attr struct based
on pmu's format definitions and config terms data,
containined in head_terms list.

Adding a new rule to the event grammar to be able to specify
values of additional attributes of symbolic event.
The new syntax for event symbolic definition is:
event_legacy_symbol: PE_NAME_SYM '/' event_config '/' |
PE_NAME_SYM sep_slash_dc
event_config: event_config ',' event_term | event_term
event_term: PE_NAME '=' PE_NAME |
PE_NAME '=' PE_VALUE
PE_NAME
sep_slash_dc: '/' | ':' |
At the moment the config options are hardcoded to be used for legacy
symbol events to define several perf_event_attr fields. It is:
'config' to define perf_event_attr::config
'config1' to define perf_event_attr::config1
'config2' to define perf_event_attr::config2
'period' to define perf_event_attr::sample_period
Legacy events could be now specified as:
cycles/period=100000/

assigned by default.

I have a workload where perf top scribbles over the stack and we SEGV.
What makes it interesting is that an snprintf is causing this.
The workload is a c++ gem that has method names over 3000 characters
long, but snprintf is designed to avoid overrunning buffers. So what
went wrong?
The problem is we assume snprintf returns the number of characters
written:
ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "[%c] ", self->level);
...
ret += repsep_snprintf(bf + ret, size - ret, "%s", self->ms.sym->name);
Unfortunately this is not how snprintf works. snprintf returns the
number of characters that would have been written if there was enough
space. In the above case, if the first snprintf returns a value larger
than size, we pass a negative size into the second snprintf and happily
scribble over the stack. If you have 3000 character c++ methods thats a
lot of stack to trample.
This patch fixes repsep_snprintf by clamping the value at size - 1 which
is the maximum snprintf can write before adding the NULL terminator.
I get the sinking feeling that there are a lot of other uses of snprintf
that have this same bug, we should audit them all.

This patch fixes a buffer overrun bug in
tracepoint_id_to_path(). The bug manisfested itself as a memory
error reported by perf record. I ran into it with perf sched:
$ perf sched rec noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds
[ perf record: Woken up 14 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 42.701 MB perf.data (~1865622 samples) ]
Fatal: No memory to alloc tracepoints list
It turned out that tracepoint_id_to_path() was reading the
tracepoint id using read() but the buffer was not large enough
to include the \n terminator for id with 4 digits or more.
The patch fixes the problem by extending the buffer to a more
reasonable size covering all possible id length include \n
terminator. Note that atoll() stops at the first non digit
character, thus it is not necessary to clear the buffer between
each read.

This patch chanegs the logic of the -b, --branch-stack options
of perf record.
Based on users' request, the patch provides a default filter
mode with the -b (or --branch-any) option. With the option,
any type of taken branches is sampled.
With -j (or --branch-filter), the user can specify any
valid combination of branch types and privilege levels
if supported by the underlying hardware.
The -b (--branch any) is a shortcut for: --branch-filter any.
$ perf record -b foo
or:
$ perf record --branch-filter any foo
For more specific filtering:
$ perf record --branch-filter ind_call,u foo

This patch allows perf to process perf.data files generated
using an ABI that has a different perf_event_attr struct size,
i.e., a different ABI version.
The perf_event_attr can be extended, yet perf needs to cope with
older perf.data files. Similarly, perf must be able to cope with
a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than
what it knows about.
This patch adds read_attr(), a routine that reads a
perf_event_attr struct from a file incrementally based on its
advertised size. If the on-file struct is smaller than what perf
knows, then the extra fields are zeroed. If the on-file struct
is bigger, then perf only uses what it knows about, the rest is
skipped.

This patch adds support for taken branch sampling, i.e, the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature to perf report. In other
words, to display histograms based on taken branches rather
than executed instructions addresses.
The new option is called -b and it takes no argument. To
generate meaningful output, the perf.data must have been
obtained using perf record -b xxx ... where xxx is a branch
filter option.
The output shows symbols, modules, sorted by 'who branches
where' the most often. The percentages reported in the first
column refer to the total number of branches captured and
not the usual number of samples.
Here is a quick example.
Here branchy is simple test program which looks as follows:
void f2(void)
{}
void f3(void)
{}
void f1(unsigned long n)
{
if (n & 1UL)
f2();
else
f3();
}
int main(void)
{
unsigned long i;
for (i=0; i < N; i++)
f1(i);
return 0;
}
Here is the output captured on Nehalem, if we are
only interested in user level function calls.
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

About half (52%) of the call branches captured are from main()
-> f1(). The second half (24%+23%) is split in two equal shares
between f1() -> f2(), f1() ->f3(). The output is as expected
given the code.
It should be noted, that using -b in perf record does not
eliminate information in the perf.data file. Consequently, a
typical profile can also be obtained by perf report by simply
not using its -b option.
It is possible to sort on branch related columns:
- dso_from, symbol_from
- dso_to, symbol_to
- mispredict

This patch adds a new option to enable taken branch stack
sampling, i.e., leverage the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK feature
of perf_events.
There is a new option to active this mode: -b.
It is possible to pass a set of filters to select the type of
branches to sample.
The following filters are available:
- any : any type of branches
- any_call : any function call or system call
- any_ret : any function return or system call return
- any_ind : any indirect branch
- u: only when the branch target is at the user level
- k: only when the branch target is in the kernel
- hv: only when the branch target is in the hypervisor
Filters can be combined by passing a comma separated list
to the option:
$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

On tui annotation, the title was set to name of the target symbol if
user selects the target. However it remained after returning to original
symbol from the target. Fix it.

Accepting upper case character only is unconvenient since it requires
SHIFT key too. Why not change to it accept a simple key stroke?

There are some variable arguments can be specified on make invocation,
but some of them are missing descriptions so that user cannot be
informed easily. Fix it.

If perf_evsel__open() failed, the errno was set and returned properly.
However since the perf_evlist__open() called close() on fd's for all of
evsel x cpu x thread after the failure, the errno was overridden by
other code (EBADF). So the caller of the function ended up seeing
different error message and getting confused.
Fit it by restoring original return value. Because one of caller of the
function is in the python extension, and it uses system errno
internally, it'd be better restoring the original value rather than
using the return value of the function directly, IMHO (i.e. I'm not a
python expert :)

Just fall back to resetting those fields, if set, warning the user that
that feature is not available.
If guest samples appear they will just be discarded because no struct
machine will be found and thus the event will be accounted as not
handled and dropped, see 0c09571.
