a5aabdacde perf record: Provide default branch stack sampling mode option
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

114382a0ae perf tools: Make perf able to read files from older ABIs
This patches provides a way to handle legacy perf.data
files.  Legacy files are those using the older PERFFILE
signature.

For those, it is still necessary to detect endianness but
without comparing their header->attr_size with the
tool's own version as it may be different. Instead, we use
a reference table for all known sizes from the legacy era.

We try all the combinations for sizes and endianness. If we find
a match, we proceed, otherwise we return: "incompatible file
format".

This is also done for the pipe-mode file format.

69996df486 perf tools: Enable reading of perf.data files from different ABI rev
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a perf.data file which is using a newer version of the ABI than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 reference sizes for revision 1
and 2 of the perf_event ABI, i.e., the size of
the perf_event_attr struct.

With Rev1: config2 was added = +8 bytes
With Rev2: branch_sample_type was added = +8 bytes

Adds the definition for Rev1, Rev2.

This is useful for tools trying to decode the revision

b50311dc2a perf report: Add support for taken branch sampling
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

$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1
    24.04%  [.] f1                     [.] f3
    23.60%  [.] f1                     [.] f2
     0.01%  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn    [k] _IO_file_overflow
     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] _IO_new_file_xsputn
     0.01%  [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal  [k] strchrnul
     0.01%  [k] __printf               [k] _IO_vfprintf_internal
     0.01%  [k] main                   [k] __printf

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

bdfebd848f perf record: Add support for sampling taken branch
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

d010b3326c perf: Add callback to flush branch_stack on context switch
With branch stack sampling, it is possible to filter by priv levels.

In system-wide mode, that means it is possible to capture only user
level branches. The builtin SW LBR filter needs to disassemble code
based on LBR captured addresses. For that, it needs to know the task
the addresses are associated with. Because of context switches, the
content of the branch stack buffer may contain addresses from
different tasks.

We need a callback on context switch to either flush the branch stack
or save it. This patch adds a new callback in struct pmu which is called
during context switches. The callback is called only when necessary.
That is when a system-wide context has, at least, one event which
uses PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK. The callback is never called for
per-thread context.

In this version, the Intel x86 code simply flushes (resets) the LBR
on context switches (fills it with zeroes). Those zeroed branches are
then filtered out by the SW filter.

3e702ff6d1 perf/x86: Add LBR software filter support for Intel CPUs
This patch adds an internal sofware filter to complement
the (optional) LBR hardware filter.

The software filter is necessary:

 - as a substitute when there is no HW LBR filter (e.g., Atom, Core)
 - to complement HW LBR filter in case of errata (e.g., Nehalem/Westmere)
 - to provide finer grain filtering (e.g., all processors)

Sometimes the LBR HW filter cannot distinguish between two types
of branches. For instance, to capture syscall as CALLS, it is necessary
to enable the LBR_FAR filter which will also capture JMP instructions.
Thus, a second pass is necessary to filter those out, this is what the
SW filter can do.

The SW filter is built on top of the internal x86 disassembler. It
is a best effort filter especially for user level code. It is subject
to the availability of the text page of the program.

The SW filter is enabled on all Intel processors. It is bypassed
when the user is capturing all branches at all priv levels.

ff3fb511ba perf/x86: Sync branch stack sampling with precise_sampling
If precise sampling is enabled on Intel x86 then perf_event uses PEBS.
To correct for the off-by-one error of PEBS, perf_event uses LBR when
precise_sample > 1.

On Intel x86 PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK is implemented using LBR,
therefore both features must be coordinated as they may not
configure LBR the same way.

For PEBS, LBR needs to capture all branches at the priv level of
the associated event.

This patch checks that the branch type and priv level of BRANCH_STACK
is compatible with that of the PEBS LBR requirement, thereby allowing:

   $ perf record -b any,u -e instructions:upp ....

But:

   $ perf record -b any_call,u -e instructions:upp

Is not possible.

b36817e886 perf/x86: Add Intel LBR sharing logic
The Intel LBR on some recent processor is capable
of filtering branches by type. The filter is configurable
via the LBR_SELECT MSR register.

There are limitation on how this register can be used.

On Nehalem/Westmere, the LBR_SELECT is shared by the two HT threads
when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.

On SandyBridge, the LBR_SELECT register is private to each thread
when HT is on. It is private to each core when HT is off.

The kernel must manage the sharing of LBR_SELECT. It allows
multiple users on the same logical CPU to use LBR_SELECT as
long as they program it with the same value. Across sibling
CPUs (HT threads), the same restriction applies on NHM/WSM.

This patch implements this sharing logic by leveraging the
mechanism put in place for managing the offcore_response
shared MSR.

We modify __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to cause
x86_get_event_constraint() to be called because LBR may
be associated with events that may be counter constrained.

bce38cd53e perf: Add generic taken branch sampling support
This patch adds the ability to sample taken branches to the
perf_event interface.

The ability to capture taken branches is very useful for all
sorts of analysis. For instance, basic block profiling, call
counts, statistical call graph.

This new capability requires hardware assist and as such may
not be available on all HW platforms. On Intel x86 it is
implemented on top of the Last Branch Record (LBR) facility.

To enable taken branches sampling, the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK
bit must be set in attr->sample_type.

Sampled taken branches may be filtered by type and/or priv
levels.

The patch adds a new field, called branch_sample_type, to the
perf_event_attr structure. It contains a bitmask of filters
to apply to the sampled taken branches.

Filters may be implemented in HW. If the HW filter does not exist
or is not good enough, some arch may also implement a SW filter.

The following generic filters are currently defined:
- PERF_SAMPLE_USER
  only branches whose targets are at the user level

- PERF_SAMPLE_KERNEL
  only branches whose targets are at the kernel level

- PERF_SAMPLE_HV
  only branches whose targets are at the hypervisor level

- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY
  any type of branches (subject to priv levels filters)

- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_CALL
  any call branches (may incl. syscall on some arch)

- PERF_SAMPLE_ANY_RET
  any return branches (may incl. syscall returns on some arch)

- PERF_SAMPLE_IND_CALL
  indirect call branches

Obviously filter may be combined. The priv level bits are optional.
If not provided, the priv level of the associated event are used. It
is possible to collect branches at a priv level different from the
associated event. Use of kernel, hv priv levels is subject to permissions
and availability (hv).

The number of taken branch records present in each sample may vary based
on HW, the type of sampled branches, the executed code. Therefore
each sample contains the number of taken branches it contains.

bc76efe645 perf tools: Handle kernels that don't support attr.exclude_{guest,host}
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.

8f54ed4a2d perf tools: Change perf_guest default back to false
Setting perf_guest to true by default makes no sense because the perf
subcommands can not setup guest symbol information and thus not process
and guest samples. The only exception is perf-kvm which changes the
perf_guest value on its own.  So change the default for perf_guest back
to false.

1018faa6cf perf/x86/kvm: Fix Host-Only/Guest-Only counting with SVM disabled
It turned out that a performance counter on AMD does not
count at all when the GO or HO bit is set in the control
register and SVM is disabled in EFER.

This patch works around this issue by masking out the HO bit
in the performance counter control register when SVM is not
enabled.

The GO bit is not touched because it is only set when the
user wants to count in guest-mode only. So when SVM is
disabled the counter should not run at all and the
not-counting is the intended behaviour.

1c1bc92233 perf probe: Ensure offset provided is not greater than function length without DWARF info too
The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from
a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended
location.  (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though
size of do_fork is ~904).

My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case
where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the
case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.

cfbd70c17c perf tools: Ensure comm string is properly terminated
If threads in a multi-threaded process have names shorter than the main
thread the comm for the named threads is not properly terminated.

E.g., for the process 'namedthreads' where each thread is named noploop%d
where %d is the thread number:

Before:
    perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
    noploop:4ads 21616  400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)
The 'ads' in the thread comm bleeds over from the process name.

After:
    perf script -f comm,tid,ip,sym,dso
       noploop:4 21616  400a49 noploop (/tmp/namedthreads)

On old kernels that don't support sample_id_all feature,
perf_evlist__id2evsel() returns NULL for non-sampling events.

This breaks perf top when multiple events are given on command line. Fix
it by using first evsel in the evlist. This will also prevent getting

   dumps, this potentially bloats up the size of the dump of one
   network device such that the dump size is too large for the buffer
   allocated by properly written netlink applications.

   In particular, if you add 255 VFs to a network device, parts of
   GLIBC stop working.

   To fix this, we add an attribute that is used to turn on these
   extended portions of the network device dump.  Sophisticaed
   applications like 'ip' that want to see this stuff  will be changed
   to set the attribute, whereas things like GLIBC that don't care
   about VFs simply will not, and therefore won't be busted by the
   mere presence of VFs on a network device.

   Thanks to the tireless work of Greg Rose on this fix.

3c761ea05a Fix autofs compile without CONFIG_COMPAT
The autofs compat handling fix caused a compile failure when
CONFIG_COMPAT isn't defined.

Instead of adding random #ifdef'fery in autofs, let's just make the
compat helpers earlier to use: without CONFIG_COMPAT, is_compat_task()
just hardcodes to zero.

We could probably do something similar for a number of other cases where
we have #ifdef's in code, but this is the low-hanging fruit.

a32744d4ab autofs: work around unhappy compat problem on x86-64
When the autofs protocol version 5 packet type was added in commit
5c0a32fc2cd0 ("autofs4: add new packet type for v5 communications"), it
obvously tried quite hard to be word-size agnostic, and uses explicitly
sized fields that are all correctly aligned.

However, with the final "char name[NAME_MAX+1]" array at the end, the
actual size of the structure ends up being not very well defined:
because the struct isn't marked 'packed', doing a "sizeof()" on it will
align the size of the struct up to the biggest alignment of the members
it has.

And despite all the members being the same, the alignment of them is
different: a "__u64" has 4-byte alignment on x86-32, but native 8-byte
alignment on x86-64.  And while 'NAME_MAX+1' ends up being a nice round
number (256), the name[] array starts out a 4-byte aligned.

End result: the "packed" size of the structure is 300 bytes: 4-byte, but
not 8-byte aligned.

As a result, despite all the fields being in the same place on all
architectures, sizeof() will round up that size to 304 bytes on
architectures that have 8-byte alignment for u64.

Note that this is *not* a problem for 32-bit compat mode on POWER, since
there __u64 is 8-byte aligned even in 32-bit mode.  But on x86, 32-bit
and 64-bit alignment is different for 64-bit entities, and as a result
the structure that has exactly the same layout has different sizes.

So on x86-64, but no other architecture, we will just subtract 4 from
the size of the structure when running in a compat task.  That way we
will write the properly sized packet that user mode expects.

Not pretty.  Sadly, this very subtle, and unnecessary, size difference
has been encoded in user space that wants to read packets of *exactly*
the right size, and will refuse to touch anything else.
