      perf hists browser: Inform how to reset the symbol filter · 4aa8e454
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      When in the hists browser, i.e. in 'perf report' or in 'perf top', it is
possible to press '/' and specify a substring to filter by symbol name.

Clarify how to remove a filter by making the prompt be:

   Please enter the name of symbol you want to see.
   To remove the filter later, press / + ENTER

      perf symbols: Try the .debug/ DSO cache as a last resort · dc38218e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Not as the first attempt at finding a vmlinux for the running kernel,
this way we get a more informative filename to present in tools, it will
check that the build-id is the same as the one previously loaded in the
DSO in dso->build_id, reading from /sys/kernel/notes, for instance.

kernel function, in the first line:

      perf tools: Fix build break on powerpc due to sample_reg_masks · 9fb47654
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored 
      perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false.
So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up.

Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition
error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version
in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that
function.

      Revert "fs: do not prefault sys_write() user buffer pages" · 00a3d660
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit 998ef75d.

The commit itself does not appear to be buggy per se, but it is exposing
a bug in ext4 (and Ted thinks ext3 too, but we solved that by getting
rid of it).  It's too late in the release cycle to really worry about
this, even if Dave Hansen has a patch that may actually fix the
underlying ext4 problem.  We can (and should) revisit this for the next
release.

The problem is that moving the prefaulting later now exposes a special
case with partially successful writes that isn't handled correctly.  And
the prefaulting likely isn't normally even that much of a performance
issue - it looks like at least one reason Dave saw this in his
performance tests is that he also ran them on Skylake that now supports
the new SMAP code, which makes the normally very cheap user space
prefaulting noticeably more expensive.

      perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix multi-segment problem of perf_event_intel_uncore · 712df65c
      Taku Izumi authored 
      In multi-segment system, uncore devices may belong to buses whose segment
number is other than 0:

  ....
  0000:ff:10.5 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Scratchpad & Semaphore Registers (rev 03)
  ...
  0001:7f:10.5 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Scratchpad & Semaphore Registers (rev 03)
  ...

  ...
  0001:ff:10.5 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E5 v3/Core i7 Scratchpad & Semaphore Registers (rev 03
  ...

In that case, relation of bus number and physical id may be broken
because "uncore_pcibus_to_physid" doesn't take account of PCI segment.
For example, bus 0000:ff and 0001:ff uses the same entry of
"uncore_pcibus_to_physid" array.

This patch fixes this problem by introducing the segment-aware pci2phy_map instead.

      perf/x86: Add Intel cstate PMUs support · 7ce1346a
      Kan Liang authored 
      This patch adds new PMUs to support cstate related free running
(read-only) counters. These counters may be used simultaneously by other
tools, such as turbostat. However, it still make sense to implement them
in perf. Because we can conveniently collect them together with other
events, and allow to use them from tools without special MSR access
code.

These counters include CORE_C*_RESIDENCY and PKG_C*_RESIDENCY.
According to counters' scope and category, two PMUs are registered with
the perf_event core subsystem.

 - 'cstate_core': The counter is available for each physical core. The
                  counters include CORE_C*_RESIDENCY.

 - 'cstate_pkg':  The counter is available for each physical package. The
                  counters include PKG_C*_RESIDENCY.

The events are exposed in sysfs for use by perf stat and other tools.
The files are:

  /sys/devices/cstate_core/events/c*-residency
  /sys/devices/cstate_pkg/events/c*-residency

These events only support system-wide mode counting.
The /sys/devices/cstate_*/cpumask file can be used by tools to figure
out which CPUs to monitor by default.

The PMU type (attr->type) is dynamically allocated and is available from
/sys/devices/core_misc/type and /sys/device/cstate_*/type.

Sampling is not supported.

Here is an example.

 - To caculate the fraction of time when the core is running in C6 state
   CORE_C6_time% = CORE_C6_RESIDENCY / TSC

 # perf stat -x, -e"cstate_core/c6-residency/,msr/tsc/" -C0 -- taskset -c 0 sleep 5

   11838820015,,cstate_core/c6-residency/,5175919658,100.00
   11877130740,,msr/tsc/,5175922010,100.00

 For sleep, 99.7% of time we ran in C6 state.

 # perf stat -x, -e"cstate_core/c6-residency/,msr/tsc/" -C0 -- taskset -c 0 busyloop

   1253316,,cstate_core/c6-residency/,4360969154,100.00
   10012635248,,msr/tsc/,4360972366,100.00

 For busyloop, 0.01% of time we ran in C6 state.

      x86/xen/p2m: hint at the last populated P2M entry · 98dd166e
      David Vrabel authored 
      With commit 633d6f17 (x86/xen: prepare
p2m list for memory hotplug) the P2M may be sized to accomdate a much
larger amount of memory than the domain currently has.

When saving a domain, the toolstack must scan all the P2M looking for
populated pages.  This results in a performance regression due to the
unnecessary scanning.

Instead of reporting (via shared_info) the maximum possible size of
the P2M, hint at the last PFN which might be populated.  This hint is
increased as new leaves are added to the P2M (in the expectation that
they will be used for populated entries).

      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

  - Switch the default callchain output mode to 'graph,0.5,caller', to make it
    look like the default for other tools, reducing the learning curve for
    people used to 'caller' based viewing. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Implement column based horizontal scrolling in the hists browser (top, report),
    making it possible to use the TUI for things like 'perf mem report' where
    there are many more columns than can fit in a terminal. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Support sorting by symbol_iaddr with perf.data files produced by
    'perf mem record'. (Don Zickus)

  - Display DATA_SRC sample type bit, i.e. when running 'perf evlist -v' the
    "DATA_SRC" wasn't appearing when set, fix it to look like: (Jiri Olsa)

      cpu/mem-loads/pp: ...SNIP... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|CPU|PERIOD|DATA_SRC

  - Introduce the 'P' event modifier, meaning 'max precision level, please', i.e.:

     $ perf record -e cycles:P usleep 1

    Is now similar to:

     $ perf record usleep 1

    Useful, for instance, when specifying multiple events. (Jiri Olsa)

  - Make 'perf -v' and 'perf -h' work. (Jiri Olsa)

  - Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint, i.e.
    '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper error message
    about that not being a valid event, but '-e non:existent*' wasn't,
    fix it. (Jiri Olsa)

Infrastructure changes:

  - Separate arch specific entries in 'perf test' and add an 'Intel CQM' one
    to be fun on x86 only. (Matt Fleming)
