filter_event_early() can be more than 30% faster than filter_event()
because it is called before internal filtering. In other respects it
is the same as filter_event(), except that it will be passed events
that have yet to be filtered out.

In some cases, users want to filter very large amounts of data (e.g.
from AUX area tracing like Intel PT) looking for something specific.
While scripting such as Python can be used, Python is 10 to 20 times
slower than C. So define a C API so that custom filters can be written
and loaded.

Perf has supported the CPU_PMU_CAPS feature to display a list of CPU PMU
capabilities. But on a hybrid platform, it may have several CPU PMUs (such
as "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom"). The CPU_PMU_CAPS feature is hard to extend
to support multiple CPU PMUs well if it needs to be compatible for the case
of old perf data file + new perf tool.
So for better compatibility we now create a new feature HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS
in the header.
For the perf.data generated on hybrid platform,
root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I
# cpu_core pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
# cpu_atom pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
# missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CPU_PMU_CAPS CLOCK_DATA
For the perf.data generated on non-hybrid platform
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I
# cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake
# missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CLOCK_DATA HYBRID_TOPOLOGY HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS

It is useful to let the user know about the hybrid topology.
Add the HYBRID_TOPOLOGY feature in header to indicate the core CPUs
and the atom CPUs.
With this patch a perf.data generated on a hybrid platform reports

root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I
...
# hybrid cpu system:
# cpu_core cpu list : 0-15
# cpu_atom cpu list : 16-23
For a perf.data generated on a non-hybrid platform, reports a message

Intel PT timestamps are affected by virtualization. Add a new option
that will allow the Intel PT decoder to correlate the timestamps and
translate the virtual machine timestamps to host timestamps.
The advantages of making this a separate step, rather than a part of
normal decoding are that it is simpler to implement, and it needs to
be done only once.
This patch adds only the option. Later patches add Intel PT support.

Currently, to use BPF to aggregate perf event counters, the user uses
--bpf-counters option. Enable "use bpf by default" events with a config
option, stat.bpf-counter-events. Events with name in the option will use
BPF.
This also enables mixed BPF event and regular event in the same sesssion.
For example:
perf config stat.bpf-counter-events=instructions
perf stat -e instructions,cs
The second command will use BPF for "instructions" but not "cs".

Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family (code name Skylake-SP):
Commit bb42b3d39781d7fc ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Expose an Uncore unit to IIO PMON mapping")
Mode is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics in MB per each
PCIe root port:
- Inbound Read: I/O devices below root port read from the host memory
- Inbound Write: I/O devices below root port write to the host memory
- Outbound Read: CPU reads from I/O devices below root port
- Outbound Write: CPU writes to I/O devices below root port
Each metric requiries only one uncore event which increments at every 4B
transfer in corresponding direction. The formulas to compute metrics
are generic:
#EventCount * 4B / (1024 * 1024)

The pipeline stage cycles details can be recorded on powerpc from the
contents of Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) registers. On ISA v3.1
platform, sampling registers exposes the cycles spent in different
pipeline stages. Patch adds perf tools support to present two of the
cycle counter information along with memory latency (weight).
Re-use the field 'ins_lat' for storing the first pipeline stage cycle.
This is stored in 'var2_w' field of 'perf_sample_weight'.
Add a new field 'p_stage_cyc' to store the second pipeline stage cycle
which is stored in 'var3_w' field of perf_sample_weight.
Add new sort function 'Pipeline Stage Cycle' and include this in
default_mem_sort_order[]. This new sort function may be used to denote
some other pipeline stage in another architecture. So add this to list

The perf tool uses performance monitoring counters (PMCs) to monitor
system performance. The PMCs are limited hardware resources. For
example, Intel CPUs have 3x fixed PMCs and 4x programmable PMCs per cpu.
Modern data center systems use these PMCs in many different ways: system
level monitoring, (maybe nested) container level monitoring, per process
monitoring, profiling (in sample mode), etc. In some cases, there are
more active perf_events than available hardware PMCs. To allow all
perf_events to have a chance to run, it is necessary to do expensive
time multiplexing of events.
On the other hand, many monitoring tools count the common metrics
(cycles, instructions). It is a waste to have multiple tools create
multiple perf_events of "cycles" and occupy multiple PMCs.
bperf tries to reduce such wastes by allowing multiple perf_events of
"cycles" or "instructions" (at different scopes) to share PMUs. Instead
of having each perf-stat session to read its own perf_events, bperf uses
BPF programs to read the perf_events and aggregate readings to BPF maps.
Then, the perf-stat session(s) reads the values from these BPF maps.
Please refer to the comment before the definition of bperf_ops for the
description of bperf architecture.
bperf is off by default. To enable it, pass --bpf-counters option to
perf-stat. bperf uses a BPF hashmap to share information about BPF
programs and maps used by bperf. This map is pinned to bpffs. The
default path is /sys/fs/bpf/perf_attr_map. The user could change the
path with option --bpf-attr-map.

The PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE event (timestamp: 66702781413407) should be after the
PERF_RECORD_COMM event (timestamp: 66702727832429), but it's early processed.
So for most of cases, it makes sense to keep the event ordered even for dump
mode. But it would be also useful to disable ordered_events for reporting raw
dump to see events as they are stored in the perf.data file.
So now, set ordered_events by default to true and add a new option
'disable-order' to disable it. For example,
perf report -D --disable-order
Fixes: 977f739b7126b ("perf report: Disable ordered_events for raw dump")

Add a 'ping' command to verify that the 'perf record' session is up and
operational.
It's used in the following patches via test code to make sure 'perf
record' is ready to receive signals.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
Start the daemon:
# perf daemon start
Ping all sessions:
# perf daemon ping
OK cycles
OK sched
Ping specific session:
# perf daemon ping --session sched
OK sched
Committer notes:
Fixed up bug pointed by clang:
Buggy:
if (!pollfd.revents & POLLIN)

Add 'lock' file under daemon base and flock it, so only one perf daemon
can run on top of it.
Each daemon tries to create and lock BASE/lock file, if it's successful
we are sure we're the only daemon running over the BASE.
Once daemon is finished, file descriptor to lock file is closed and lock
is released.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
Starting the daemon:
# perf daemon start
And try once more:
# perf daemon start
failed: another perf daemon (pid 775594) owns /opt/perfdata
will end up with an error, because there's already one running
on top of /opt/perfdata.
Committer notes:
Provide lockf(F_TLOCK) when not available, i.e. transform:
lockf(fd, F_TLOCK, 0);
into:
flock(fd, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB);
Which should be equivalent.
Noticed when cross building to some odd Android NDK.

Adding support to configure daemon with config file.
Each client or server invocation of perf daemon needs to know the
base directory, where all sessions data is stored.
The base is defined with:
daemon.base
Base path for daemon data. All sessions data are stored under
this path.
The daemon allows to create record sessions. Each session is a
record command spawned and monitored by perf daemon.
The session is defined with:
session-<NAME>.run
Defines new record session for daemon. The value is record's
command line without the 'record' keyword.
Example:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[daemon]
base=/opt/perfdata
[session-cycles]
run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[session-sched]
run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
The example above defines '/opt/perfdata' as the base directory and 2
record sessions.
# perf daemon start
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.454413] daemon started (pid 16015)
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.455910] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:16016]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
[2021-01-28 19:47:33.456599] reconfig: ruining session [sched:16017]: -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
# ps -ef | grep perf
... perf daemon start
... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a
The base directory is populated with:
# find /opt/perfdata/

Add a config option and base functionality that takes the option
argument (if specified) and other system config locations and produces
an 'acting' config file path.
The actual config file processing is coming in following patches.

Add a daemon skeleton with a minimal base (non) functionality, covering
various setup in start command.
Add an initial perf-daemon.txt with basic info.
This is in response to pople asking for the possibility to be able run
record long running sessions on the background.
The patchset that starts with this adds support to configure and run
record sessions on background via new 'perf daemon' command.
This is useful for being able to use perf as a flight recorder that one
can interact with asking for events to be enabled or disabled, added or
removed, etc.

'perf script' supports '-S' or '--symbol' options to only list the
records for these symbols. A symbol is typically a name or hex address.
If it's hex address, it is the start address of one symbol.
While it would be useful if we can filter trace records by any hex
address (not only the start address of symbol). So now we support
filtering trace records by more conditions, such as:
- symbol name
- start address of symbol
- any hexadecimal address
- address range
The comparison order is defined as:
1. symbol name comparison
2. symbol start address comparison.
3. any hexadecimal address comparison.
4. address range comparison.
The idea is if we can get a valid address from -S list, we add the
address to addr_list for address comparison otherwise we still leave
it to sym_list for symbol comparison.
Some examples:
