Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter:
-e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags
This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the
r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r
will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for
the given tracepoint counter.
In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated
by commas.

It is better than showing the map addr, this way at least we
know that we can't get the symtabs because the DSO was deleted
(system update) while an app still used such DSO.
Yeah, don't do that, but if you do, you'll figure it out
quicker this way.

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.
Say you launched:
perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
perf report -g fractal,10.0
And you got:
2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
|
|--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
| poll_freewait
| do_sys_poll
| sys_poll
| sysenter_dispatch
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0x1ffadea3c
|
|--7.14%-- __up_read
| up_read
| do_page_fault
| page_fault
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0xa0df710000000a
...
It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.
The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:
limit = 4 * 0.9;
The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%
We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

Improve and fix the handling of per-thread counter stats
recorded via perf record -s. Previously we only displayed
it in debug printouts (-D) and even that output was hard
to disambiguate.
I moved everything to utils/values.[ch] so that we may reuse
it in perf stat.
We get something like this now:
# PID TID cache-misses cache-references
4658 4659 495581 3238779
4658 4662 498246 3236823
4658 4663 499531 3243162
Then it'll be easy to add --pretty=raw to display a single line per thread/event.
By the way, -S was also used for --symbol... So I used -T/--thread here.
perf report: Add -T/--threads to display per-thread counter values
We get something like this now:
# PID TID cache-misses cache-references
4658 4659 495581 3238779
4658 4662 498246 3236823
4658 4663 499531 3243162

If we recorded with -g option to record the callchain, right now
we require a -g option to perf report as well - and people reported
this as unnecessary complication: the user already specified -g
once, no need to require it a second time.
So if the recording includes call-chains, display the callchain by
default from perf report.
( The user can override this default using "-g none" option from
perf report. )

callchains
When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it
raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an
empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did
something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met
an empty callchain that has to be ignored.
This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain
recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report
output starts with thousands of warning lines.

While toying with perf, I've noticed that perf record can
easily enter a busy loop when doing something as silly as:
$ perf record -A ls
Yeah, do_read here really wants to read a known size, not being
able to should die(), not busy-loop ;)

The callchain fractal mode builds each new total hits in a new
branch of profiling by using the parent's hits of the current
branch plus the hits of the children.
This is wrong, the total hits of a branch should be made of the
sum of every children hits, we must ignore the parent hits in
this scope.
This patch also fixes another mistake with the hit counting.
Now the rates are correct.

Since the C++ demangling isn't needed for everybody and
bfd/iberty aren't widely/easily available on all machines, make
it optional.
It also allows you to forcefully disable demangling by using
NO_DEMANGLE=1 and otherwise tries to detect libbfd/libiberty
combinations that result in a compiling demangler.

for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files
(the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it).
The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different
compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason.
But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct
are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage.
The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after
skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug
is not normally noticed.
.... except when you want every sample to be exact.
Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

The strlist__entry method allows accessing strlists like an
array, will be used in the 'perf report' to access the first
entry.
We now keep the nr_entries so that we can check if we have just
one entry, will be used in 'perf report' to improve the output
by showing just at the top when we have just, say, one DSO.
While at it use nr_entries to optimize strlist__is_empty by not
using the far more costly rb_first based implementation.

Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour:
-w, --field-width
Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.
-t, --field-separator:
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with
a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

overhead rate
The current callchain displays the overhead rates as absolute:
relative to the total overhead.
This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each
branch of the callchain tree is a independant instrumentated object.
This provides a 'fractal' view of the call-chain profile: each
sub-graph looks like a profile in itself - relative to its parent.
You can produce such output by using the "fractal" mode
that you can abbreviate via f, fr, fra, frac, etc...
./perf report -s sym -c fractal
Example:
8.46% [k] copy_user_generic_string
|
|--52.01%-- generic_file_aio_read

The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node
plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage
computing of a branch.
Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of
the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that
cumulative hits are propagated in the right order.
But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not
absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know
the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children
because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum
rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to
filter the children against a given rate.
Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the
implementation of relative overhead rates.

Rename ->prelinked to ->adjust_symbols and making what was done
only for prelinked libraries also to ET_EXEC binaries, such as
/usr/bin/git:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -h /usr/bin/git | grep Type
Type: EXEC (Executable file)
[acme@doppio pahole]$
And after installing the 'git-debuginfo' package, I get correct results:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol -d /usr/bin/git | head -20

Among perf annotate, perf report and perf top, we can find the
common colored printing of percents according to the following
rules:
High overhead = > 5%, colored in red
Mid overhead = > 0.5%, colored in green
Low overhead = < 0.5%, default color
Factorize these multiple checks in a single function named
percent_color_fprintf() and also provide a get_percent_color()
for sites which print percentages and other things at the same
time.

Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single
vertical level, this is the "flat" mode:
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
4.19%
copy_user_generic_string
generic_file_aio_read
do_sync_read
vfs_read
sys_pread64
system_call_fastpath
pread64
This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a
hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted:
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
|
|--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read
| do_sync_read
| vfs_read
| |
| |--4.19%-- sys_pread64
| | system_call_fastpath

| vfs_write
| |
| |--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64
| | system_call_fastpath
| | __pwrite64
| |
| --0.10%-- sys_write
[...]
The command line has then changed.
By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
flat mode by default.
But you can override it:
perf report -c graph
or
perf report -c flat
You can also pass the abreviated mode:
perf report -c g
or
perf report -c gra
will both make use of the graph mode.

There is no predefined macro to create an option that can have
a custom value or a default one if none is given.
This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which
defines such kind of option.
For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the
default value in the following cases:
perf command -c -d
perf command -d -c
And the foo value when it's given:
perf command -c foo -d
perf command -d -c foo
That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to
support default values whatever the position of the option, not
only in the end.
Should it now be renamed to PARSE_OPT_ARG_DEFAULT ?

Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree
shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance.
The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes
are in the brothers field of the children.
This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list
of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a
head:
---------------
| Parent (head) |-------------------------------------
--------------- |
| |
children |
| |
----------- ----------- |
| 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother-----
----------- -----------
This makes the following strange pattern often occuring:
list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) {
// do something with children
}
Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify
this pattern.

The copy we were using came from another copy I did for the dwarves

The only function that is used by the perf tools and that isn't in the
kernel is list_del_range, that I'm leaving in the perf tools only for
now.

The tools/perf/util/rbtree.c copy already drifted by three
csets:

4c60117811171d867d4f27f17ea07d7419d45dae
16c047add3ceaf0ab882e3e094d1ec904d02312d
So remove the copy and use the lib/rbtree.c directly, sharing
the source code while still generating a separate object file,
since tools/perf uses a far more agressive -O6 switch.

This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more
consistent in what it accepts. It is now structured as a
recursive descent parser for the following grammar:
events ::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )*
event ::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event |
generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ]
raw_event ::= "r" hex_number
numeric_event ::= number ":" number
number ::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number
symbolic_event ::= string_from_event_symbols_array
generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )*
event_modifier ::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+
with the extra restriction that you can have at most one
cache_op and at most one cache_result.
We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a
const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they
can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed.
They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer
or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it).
This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching
alias from the table, not the first one. Otherwise "l1-data"
would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be
consumed.
This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to
count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events,
and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor
mode. Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and
exclude_hv, and so on. Multiple modes can be specified, e.g.
":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only
exclude_kernel will be set).
