| The time from the first sample to the last sample is 4 seconds
Now that times are converted to nanoseconds, also try to estimate the
timestamps more accurately be dividing by some fixed value for
instructions per ns. This prevents long ranges from being estimated
too far in the past than would be realistic.

Currently --dump-raw-trace skips queueing and splitting buffers because
of an early exit condition in cs_etm__process_auxtrace_info(). Once
that is removed we can print the split data by using the queues
and searching for split buffers with the same reference as the
one that is currently being processed.
This keeps the same behaviour of dumping in file order when an AUXTRACE
event appears, rather than moving trace dump to where AUX records are in
the file.
There will be a newline and size printout for each fragment. For example
this buffer is comprised of two AUX records, but was printed as one:
0 0 0x8098 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0xa0 offset: 0 ref: 0x491a4dfc52fc0e6e idx: 0 t

Idx:97; ID:10; I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0xFFFFDE2AD3FD76D4;
But is now printed as two fragments:
0 0 0x8098 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0xa0 offset: 0 ref: 0x491a4dfc52fc0e6e idx: 0 t

Populate the auxtrace queues using AUX records rather than whole
auxtrace buffers so that the decoder is reset between each aux record.
This is similar to the auxtrace_queues__process_index() ->
auxtrace_queues__add_indexed_event() flow where
perf_session__peek_event() is used to read AUXTRACE events out of random
positions in the file based on the auxtrace index.
But now we loop over all PERF_RECORD_AUX events instead of AUXTRACE
buffers. For each PERF_RECORD_AUX event, we find the corresponding
AUXTRACE buffer using the index, and add a fragment of that buffer to
the auxtrace queues.
No other changes to decoding were made, apart from populating the
auxtrace queues. The result of decoding is identical to before, except
in cases where decoding failed completely, due to not resetting the
decoder.
The reason for this change is because AUX records are emitted any time
tracing is disabled, for example when the process is scheduled out.
Because ETM was disabled and enabled again, the decoder also needs to be
reset to force the search for a sync packet. Otherwise there would be
fatal decoding errors.
Testing
=======
Testing was done with the following script, to diff the decoding results
between the patched and un-patched versions of perf:
#!/bin/bash
set -ex
$1 script -i $3 $4 > split.script
$2 script -i $3 $4 > default.script
diff split.script default.script | head -n 20
And it was run like this, with various itrace options depending on the
quantity of synthesised events:
compare.sh ./perf-patched ./perf-default perf-per-cpu-2-threads.data --itrace=i100000ns
No changes in output were observed in the following scenarios:
* Simple per-cpu
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u top
* Per-thread, single thread
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ./threads_C
* Per-thread multiple threads (but only one thread collected data):
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread --pid 4596,4597
* Per-thread multiple threads (both threads collected data):
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread --pid 4596,4597
* Per-cpu explicit threads:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --pid 853,854
* System-wide (per-cpu):
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a
* No data collected (no aux buffers)
Can happen with any command when run for a short period
* Containing truncated records
Can happen with any command
* Containing aux records with 0 size
Can happen with any command
* Snapshot mode (various files with and without buffer wrap)
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a --snapshot
Some differences were observed in the following scenario:
* Snapshot mode (with duplicate buffers)
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a --snapshot
Fewer samples are generated in snapshot mode if duplicate buffers
were gathered because buffers with the same offset are now only added
once. This gives different, but more correct results and no duplicate
data is decoded any more.

Currently, timeless mode starts the decode on PERF_RECORD_EXIT, and
non-timeless mode starts decoding on the fist PERF_RECORD_AUX record.
This can cause the "data has no samples!" error if the first
PERF_RECORD_AUX record comes before the first (or any relevant)
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record because the mmaps are required by the decoder
to access the binary data.
This change pushes the start of non-timeless decoding to the very end of
parsing the file. The PERF_RECORD_EXIT event can't be used because it
might not exist in system-wide or snapshot modes.
I have not been able to find the exact cause for the events to be
intermittently in the wrong order in the basic scenario:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u top
But it can be made to happen every time with the --delay option. This is
because "enable_on_exec" is disabled, which causes tracing to start
before the process to be launched is exec'd. For example:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --delay=1 top
perf report -D | grep 'AUX\|MAP'
0 16714475632740 0x520 [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_AUX offset: 0 size: 0x30 flags: 0 []

Another scenario in which decoding from the first aux record fails is a
workload that forks. Although the aux record comes after 'bash', it
comes before 'top', which is what we are interested in. For example:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -- bash -c top
perf report -D | grep 'AUX\|MAP'
4294967295 16853946421300 0x510 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 8723/8723: [0x558f280000(0x142000) @ 0 00:17 5213953 0]: r-xp /usr/bin/bash

A third scenario is when the majority of time is spent in a shared
library that is not loaded at startup. For example a dynamically loaded
plugin.
Testing
=======
Testing was done by checking if any samples that are present in the
old output are missing from the new output. Timestamps must be
stripped out with awk because now they are set to the last AUX sample,
rather than the first:
./perf script $4 | awk '!($4="")' > new.script
./perf-default script $4 | awk '!($4="")' > default.script
comm -13 <(sort -u new.script) <(sort -u default.script)
Testing showed that the new output is a superset of the old. When lines
appear in the comm output, it is not because they are missing but
because [unknown] is now resolved to sensible locations. For example
last putp branch here now resolves to libtinfo, so it's not missing
from the output, but is actually improved:
Old:
top 305 [001] 1 branches:uH: 402830 _init+0x30 (/usr/bin/top.procps) => 404a1c [unknown] (/usr/bin/top.procps)
top 305 [001] 1 branches:uH: 404a20 [unknown] (/usr/bin/top.procps) => 402970 putp@plt+0x0 (/usr/bin/top.procps)
top 305 [001] 1 branches:uH: 40297c putp@plt+0xc (/usr/bin/top.procps) => 0 [unknown] ([unknown])
New:
top 305 [001] 1 branches:uH: 402830 _init+0x30 (/usr/bin/top.procps) => 404a1c [unknown] (/usr/bin/top.procps)
top 305 [001] 1 branches:uH: 404a20 [unknown] (/usr/bin/top.procps) => 402970 putp@plt+0x0 (/usr/bin/top.procps)
top 305 [001] 1 branches:uH: 40297c putp@plt+0xc (/usr/bin/top.procps) => 7f8ab39208 putp+0x0 (/lib/libtinfo.so.5.9)
In the following two modes, decoding now works and the "data has no
samples!" error is not displayed any more:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -- bash -c top
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --delay=1 top
In snapshot mode, there is also an improvement to decoding. Previously
samples for the 'kill' process that was used to send SIGUSR2 were
completely missing, because the process hadn't started yet. But now
there are additional samples present:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --snapshot -a
perf script
stress 19380 [003] 161627.938153: 1000000 instructions:uH: aaaabb612fb4 [unknown] (/usr/bin/stress)
kill 19644 [000] 161627.938153: 1000000 instructions:uH: ffffae0ef210 [unknown] (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.27.so)
stress 19380 [003] 161627.938153: 1000000 instructions:uH: ffff9e754d40 random_r+0x20 (/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.27.so)
Also tested was the round trip of 'perf inject' followed by 'perf
report' which has the same differences and improvements.

The following attribute is set when synthesising samples in
timed decoding mode:
attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_TIME;
This results in new samples that appear to have timestamps but
because we don't assign any timestamps to the samples, when the
resulting inject file is opened again, the synthesised samples
will be on the wrong side of the MMAP or COMM events.
For example, this results in the samples being associated with
the perf binary, rather than the target of the record:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u top
perf inject -i perf.data -o perf.inject --itrace=i100il
perf report -i perf.inject
Where 'Command' == perf should show as 'top':
# Overhead Command Source Shared Object Source Symbol Target Symbol Basic Block Cycles
# ........ ....... .................... ...................... ...................... ..................
#
31.08% perf [unknown] [.] 0x000000000040c3f8 [.] 0x000000000040c3e8 -
If the perf.data file is opened directly with perf, without the
inject step, then this already works correctly because the
events are synthesised after the COMM and MMAP events and
no second sorting happens. Re-sorting only happens when opening
the perf.inject file for the second time so timestamps are
needed.
Using the timestamp from the AUX record mirrors the current
behaviour when opening directly with perf, because the events
are generated on the call to cs_etm__process_queues().
The ETM trace could optionally contain time stamps, but there is
no way to correlate this with the kernel time. So, the best available
time value is that of the AUX_RECORD header. This patch uses
the timestamp from the header for all the samples. The ordering of the
samples are implicit in the trace and thus is fine with respect to
relative ordering.

The current fixed metadata version format (version 0), means that adding
metadata parameter items renders files from a previous version of perf
unreadable. Per CPU parameters appear in a fixed order, but there is no
field to indicate the number of ETM parameters per CPU.
This patch updates the per CPU parameter blocks to include a NR_PARAMs
value which indicates the number of parameters in the block.
The header version is incremented to 1. Fixed ordering is retained,
new ETM parameters are added to the end of the list.
The reader code is updated to be able to read current version 0 files,
For version 1, the reader will read the number of parameters in the
per CPU block. This allows the reader to process older or newer files
that may have different numbers of parameters than in use at the
time perf was built.

When 'etm->instructions_sample_period' is less than
'tidq->period_instructions', the function cs_etm__sample() cannot handle
this case properly with its logic.
Let's see below flow as an example:
- If we set itrace option '--itrace=i4', then function cs_etm__sample()
has variables with initialized values:
tidq->period_instructions = 0
etm->instructions_sample_period = 4
- When the first packet is coming:
packet->instr_count = 10; the number of instructions executed in this
packet is 10, thus update period_instructions as below:
tidq->period_instructions = 0 + 10 = 10
instrs_over = 10 - 4 = 6
offset = 10 - 6 - 1 = 3
tidq->period_instructions = instrs_over = 6
- When the second packet is coming:
packet->instr_count = 10; in the second pass, assume 10 instructions
in the trace sample again:
tidq->period_instructions = 6 + 10 = 16
instrs_over = 16 - 4 = 12
offset = 10 - 12 - 1 = -3 -> the negative value
tidq->period_instructions = instrs_over = 12
So after handle these two packets, there have below issues:
The first issue is that cs_etm__instr_addr() returns the address within
the current trace sample of the instruction related to offset, so the
offset is supposed to be always unsigned value. But in fact, function
cs_etm__sample() might calculate a negative offset value (in handling
the second packet, the offset is -3) and pass to cs_etm__instr_addr()
with u64 type with a big positive integer.
The second issue is it only synthesizes 2 samples for sample period = 4.
In theory, every packet has 10 instructions so the two packets have
total 20 instructions, 20 instructions should generate 5 samples
(4 x 5 = 20). This is because cs_etm__sample() only calls once
cs_etm__synth_instruction_sample() to generate instruction sample per
range packet.
This patch fixes the logic in function cs_etm__sample(); the basic
idea for handling coming packet is:
- To synthesize the first instruction sample, it combines the left
instructions from the previous packet and the head of the new
packet; then generate continuous samples with sample period;
- At the tail of the new packet, if it has the rest instructions,
these instructions will be left for the sequential sample.

Every time synthesize instruction sample, the last branch recording will
be reset. This is fine if the instruction period is big enough, for
example if use the option '--itrace=i100000', the last branch array is
reset for every sample with 100000 instructions per period; before
generate the next instruction sample, there has the sufficient packets
coming to fill the last branch array.
On the other hand, if set a very small period, the packets will be
significantly reduced between two continuous instruction samples, thus
the last branch array is almost empty for new instruction sample by
frequently resetting.
To allow the last branches to work properly for any instruction periods,
this patch avoids to reset the last branch for every instruction sample
and only reset it when flush the trace data. The last branches will be
reset only for two cases, one is for trace starting, another case is for
discontinuous trace; other cases can keep recording last branches for
continuous instruction samples.

The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.
However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].
To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.
Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.
Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.
Committer notes:
Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.
Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.
Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.
The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.
That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.
First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.
