      perf_counter tools: Fix/resurrect perf top annotation in a simple interactive form · 923c42c1
      Mike Galbraith authored 
      perf top used to have annotation support, but it has bitrotted and
removed.

This patch restores that: it allows the user to select any symbol
in kernel space for source level annotation on the fly, switch
between event counters and alter display variables. When symbol
details are being displayed, stopping annotation reverts to normal.

known keys:
        [d]     select display delay.
        [e]     select display entries (lines).
        [E]     select annotation event counter.
        [f]     select normal display count filter.
        [F]     select annotation display count filter (percentage).
        [qQ]    quit.
        [s]     select annotation symbol and start annotation.
        [S]     stop annotation, revert to normal display.
        [z]     toggle event count zeroing.

      perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling · f413cdb8
      Frederic Weisbecker authored 
      This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.

A new counter sampling attribute is added:

   PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD

which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.

Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:

 perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
 perf report -D

 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
 .
 . ... raw event: size 72 bytes
 .  0000:  09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff  ......H........

 .  0040:  e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff                          .......
.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33

The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

Translation:

 struct trace_entry {
	type		= 0x2b = 43;
	flags		= 1;
	preempt_count	= 2;
	pid		= 0xa = 10;
	tgid		= 0xa = 10;
 }

 thread_comm = "events/1"
 thread_pid  = 0xa = 10;
 func	    = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()

What will come next?

 - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
   for perf trace, etc.

 - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
   some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
   occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
   to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
   This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.

 - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
   a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
   the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
   That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
   protection.

 - [...]

 - Profit! :-)

      perf_counter, ftrace: Fix perf_counter integration · 3a659305
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Adds possible second part to the assign argument of TP_EVENT().

  TP_perf_assign(
	__perf_count(foo);
	__perf_addr(bar);
  )

Which, when specified make the swcounter increment with @foo instead
of the usual 1, and report @bar for PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR (data address
associated with the event) when this triggers a counter overflow.
