      Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160718' 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:

 - Properly report when a function wildcard produces no matches in 'perf probe'
   (Masami Hiramatsu)

 - Balance opening and reading events in 'perf stat', which could cause
   it to get stuck trying to close invalid file descriptors (Mark Rutland)

Infrastructure changes:

 - Copy more headers from the kernel, this time for headers that
   were just including the contents of its kernel counterparts, should
   help resolving the problems with linux-next, where some uapi related
   patches seem to be breaking tools/object/ build. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

   Some more combing will be done, but at least it is possible to build
   perf out of tree, via a detached tarball (make help | grep perf),
   without including kernel files in its MANIFEST (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

 - Fix smatch found errors that were not causing problems, but are
   mistakes nonetheless (Dan Carpenter)

 - Fix string vs. byte array resolving in the python script code (Jiri Olsa)

      perf record: Add --tail-synthesize option · 4ea648ae
      Wang Nan authored 
      When working with overwritable ring buffer there's a inconvenience
problem: if perf dumps data after a long period after it starts,
non-sample events may lost, which makes following 'perf report' unable
to identify proc name and mmap layout. For example:

 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

send SIGUSR2 after dd runs long enough. The resuling perf.data lost
correct comm and mmap events:

 # perf script -i perf.data.2016061522374354
 perf 24478 [004] 2581325.601789:  raw_syscalls:sys_exit: NR 0 = 512
 ^^^^
 Should be 'dd'

                   b18d83 return_from_SYSCALL_64+0xfe200000 (/lib/modules/4.6.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux)
             7f47c417edf0 [unknown] ([unknown])
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^
             Fail to unwind

This patch provides a '--tail-synthesize' option, allows perf to collect
system status when finalizing output file. In resuling output file, the
non-sample events reflect system status when dumping data.

After this patch:
 # perf record -m 4 -e raw_syscalls:* -g --overwrite --switch-output --tail-synthesize \
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

 # perf script -i perf.data.2016061600544998
 dd 27364 [004] 2583244.994464: raw_syscalls:sys_enter: NR 1 (1, ...
 ^^

                   203aa5 syscall_trace_enter+0xfe200055 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                   203caa do_syscall_64+0xfe2000fa ([kernel.kallsyms])

                    ^^^^^
                    Correct unwind

This option doesn't aim to solve this problem completely. If a process
terminates before SIGUSR2, we still lost its COMM and MMAP events. For
example, we can't unwind correctly from the final perf.data we get from
the previous example, because when perf collects the final output file
(when we press C-c), 'dd' has been terminated so its '/proc/<pid>/mmap'
becomes empty.

However, this is a cheaper choice. To completely solve this problem we
need to continously output non-sample events. To satisify the
requirement of daemonization, we need to merge them periodically. It is
possible but requires much more code and cycles.

Automatically select --tail-synthesize when --overwrite is provided.

      perf session: Don't warn about out of order event if write_backward is used · f06149c0
      Wang Nan authored 
      If write_backward attribute is set, records are written into kernel
ring buffer from end to beginning, but read from beginning to end.
To avoid 'XX out of order events recorded' warning message (timestamps
of records is in reverse order when using write_backward), suppress the
warning message if write_backward is selected by at lease one event.

Result:

Before this patch:
  # perf record -m 1 -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit/overwrite/ \
                     -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter \
                     dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=300
  300+0 records in
  300+0 records out
  153600 bytes (154 kB) copied, 0.000601617 s, 255 MB/s
  [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
  Warning:
  40 out of order events recorded.
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.096 MB perf.data (696 samples) ]

After this patch:
  # perf record -m 1 -e raw_syscalls:sys_exit/overwrite/ \
                     -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter \
                     dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=300

      perf tools: Enable overwrite settings · 626a6b78
      Wang Nan authored 
      This patch allows following config terms and option:

Globally setting events to overwrite;

  # perf record --overwrite ...

Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.

  # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
  # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...

Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.

For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Test result:

  # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]

      Introduce a bkw_mmap_state state machine to evlist:

                     .________________(forbid)_____________.

                      \_________________(3)_______________/

 NOTREADY     : Backward ring buffers are not ready
 RUNNING      : Backward ring buffers are recording
 DATA_PENDING : We are required to collect data from backward ring buffers
 EMPTY        : We have collected data from backward ring buffers.

 (0): Setup backward ring buffer
 (1): Pause ring buffers for reading
 (2): Read from ring buffers
 (3): Resume ring buffers for recording

We can't avoid this complexity. Since we deliberately drop records from
overwritable ring buffer, there's no way for us to check remaining from
ring buffer itself (by checking head and old pointers). Therefore, we
need DATA_PENDING and EMPTY state to help us recording what we have done
to the ring buffer.

In record__mmap_read_evlist(), drive this state machine from DATA_PENDING
to EMPTY.

In perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel(), drive this state machine from NOTREADY
to RUNNING when creating backward mmap.
