      Continuing from the previous cset comment, now that filter expression
      works:

        #
      
      And if some of the strings can't be found:
      
        # trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=SPECULATIVE_EXECUTION_PROBLEMS_SOLUTION && msr != IA32_TSC_DEADLINE && msr != 0x830 && msr != 0x83f && msr !=IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --filter-pids 3750
        "SPECULATIVE_EXECUTION_PROBLEMS_SOLUTION" not found for "msr" in "msr:read_msr", can't set filter "(msr!=SPECULATIVE_EXECUTION_PROBLEMS_SOLUTION && msr != IA32_TSC_DEADLINE && msr != 0x830 && msr != 0x83f && msr !=IA32_SPEC_CTRL) && (common_pid != 28131 && common_pid != 3750)"
        #
      
      Next step is to automatically wire up the pre-existing strarrays, which there
      are quite a few.
      
      The strtoul() methods will be further enhanced to allow for looking at other
      arguments in a syscall/tracepoint, just like going from integer to string
      (scnprintf methods), so that those "val" lines for the msr tracepoints can be
      properly formatted or even resolved into some string.

      perf trace: Expand strings in filters to integers · 90df0249

      So that one can try things like:
      
        # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=FS_BASE && msr != IA32_TSC_DEADLINE && msr != 0x830 && msr != 0x83f && msr !=IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --filter-pids 3750
      
      That, at this point in the patchset, without any strtoul in place for
      tracepoint arguments, will result in:
      
        No resolver (strtoul) for "msr" in "msr:read_msr", can't set filter "(msr!=FS_BASE && msr != IA32_TSC_DEADLINE && msr != 0x830 && msr != 0x83f && msr !=IA32_SPEC_CTRL) && (common_pid != 25407 && common_pid != 3750)"
        #

      perf trace: Introduce a strtoul() method for 'struct strarrays' · d0a3a104
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      And also for 'struct strarray', since its needed to implement
      strarrays__strtoul(). This just traverses the entries and when finding a
      match, returns (offset + index), i.e. the value associated with the
      searched string.
      
      E.g. "EFER" (MSR_EFER) returns:
      
        # grep -w EFER -B2 /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
        #define x86_64_specific_MSRs_offset 0xc0000080
        static const char *x86_64_specific_MSRs[] = {
      	[0xc0000080 - x86_64_specific_MSRs_offset] = "EFER",
        #
      
        0xc0000080
      
      This will be auto-attached to 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' entries
      associated with strarrays as soon as we add a ->strarray and ->strarrays
      to 'struct syscall_arg_fmt'.

      This will go from a string to a number, so that filter expressions can
      be constructed with strings and then, before applying the tracepoint
      filters (or eBPF, in the future) we can map those strings to numbers.
      
      The first one will be for 'msr' tracepoint arguments, but real quickly
      we will be able to reuse all strarrays for that.

      perf trace: Introduce --filter for tracepoint events · d4097f19
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Similar to what is in 'perf record', works just like there:
      
        # perf trace -e msr:*

        #
      
      So, for a system wide trace session looking at the write_msr tracepoint
      we see a flood of MSR_FS_BASE, we need to get the number for that:
      
        # grep FS_BASE /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
      	[0xc0000100 - x86_64_specific_MSRs_offset] = "FS_BASE",
        #
      
      And then use it in a filter:
      
        # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=0xc0000100"
        <SNIP>
         942.177 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 3056931068232)

      Ok, just another form of KVM to emit MSRs :-)
      
      Next step: elliminate those greps by getting the filter expression,
      looking for arg names, then for the arrays associated with it to do a
      reverse lookup.
      
      Also allow those filters to be associated with strace-like syscall
      names.
      
      After that: augment the 'val' arg for 'msr:write_msr' based on the first
      arg, 'msr'.
      
      Then, do that with eBPF too, not just with tracepoint filters.

      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We'll need this to support 'perf trace e tracepoint --filter=expr', as
      the command line tracepoint filter is attache to the preceding evsel,
      just like in 'perf record' and when we go to set pid filters, which we
      do at the minimum to filter 'perf trace' own syscalls, we need to
      append, not set the tp filter.

      perf evlist: Introduce append_tp_filter() method · 53c92f73
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Will be used by 'perf trace' to support 'perf trace --filter', we need
      to append to any pre-existing filter.
      
      When parse_filter() gets invoked to process --filter, it'll set the
      filter to that specified on the command line, later on, when we filter
      out 'perf trace' own pid to avoid an event feedback loop, we need to
      preserve the command line filter put in place by parse_filter().

      For instance 'msr' appears in several tracepoints, so we can associate
      it with a single scnprintf() routine auto-generated from kernel headers,
      as will be done in followup patches.
      
      Start with an empty array of associations.

      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This way we generate the source with the table for later use by plugins,
      etc.
      
      I.e. after running:
      
        $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
      
      We end up with:
      
        $ head /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
        static const char *x86_MSRs[] = {
        	[0x00000000] = "IA32_P5_MC_ADDR",
        	[0x00000001] = "IA32_P5_MC_TYPE",
        	[0x00000010] = "IA32_TSC",
        	[0x00000017] = "IA32_PLATFORM_ID",
        	[0x0000001b] = "IA32_APICBASE",
        	[0x00000020] = "KNC_PERFCTR0",

        	[0x00000029] = "KNC_EVNTSEL1",
        $
      
      Now its just a matter of using it, first in a libtracevent plugin.
      
      At some point we should move tools/perf/trace/beauty to tools/beauty/,
      so that it can be used more generally and even made available externally
      like libbpf, libperf, libtraevent, etc.

      Then these will in turn be hooked up in a follow up patch to be used by
      strarrays__scnprintf().

      perf beauty: Make strarray's offset be u64 · 8d6505ba
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We need it for things like MSRs that are sparse and go over MAXINT.

      We'll use it to generate a table and then convert the
      msr:{read,write}_msr 'msr' option in things like perf trace, script,
      etc.

      perf trace: Allow choosing how to augment the tracepoint arguments · f11b2803
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      So far we used the libtraceevent printing routines when showing
      tracepoint arguments, but since 'perf trace' has a lot of beautifiers
      for syscall arguments, and since some of those can be used to augment
      tracepoint arguments, add a routine to make use of those beautifiers
      and allow the user to choose which one to use.
      
      The default now is to use the same beautifiers used for the strace-like
      sys_enter+sys_exit lines, but the user can choose the libtraceevent ones
      by either using the:
      
          perf trace --libtraceevent_print
      
      command line option, or by setting:
      
        # cat ~/.perfconfig
        [trace]
      	tracepoint_beautifiers = libtraceevent
      
      For instance, here are some examples:
      
        # perf trace -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
             0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "perf", pid: 5273 (perf), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
             0.621 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdd06d1140, rmtp: NULL) ...
             0.628 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm: "sleep", prev_pid: 5273 (sleep), prev_prio: 120, prev_state: 1, next_comm: "swapper/6", next_pid: 0, next_prio: 120)
          1000.879 sched:sched_wakeup(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120, success: 1, target_cpu: 6)
             0.621  ... [continued]: nanosleep())          = 0
          1001.026 exit_group(error_code: 0)               = ?
          1001.216 sched:sched_process_exit(comm: "sleep", pid: 5273 (sleep), prio: 120)
        #
      
      And then using libtraceevent, as before:
      
        # perf trace --libtraceevent_print -e sched:*switch,*sleep,sched:*wakeup,exit*,sched:*exit sleep 1
             0.000 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=perf pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
             0.739 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffeba6c2f40, rmtp: NULL) ...
             0.747 sched:sched_switch(prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5288 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120)
          1000.902 sched:sched_wakeup(comm=sleep pid=5288 prio=120 target_cpu=001)
             0.739  ... [continued]: nanosleep())          = 0
          1001.012 exit_group(error_code: 0)               = ?
        #
      
      The new default allocates an array of 'struct syscall_arg_fmt' for the
      tracepoint arguments and, just like with syscall arguments, tries to
      find suitable syscall_arg__scnprintf_NAME() routines to augment those
      tracepoint arguments based on their type (as in the tracefs "format"
      file), or even in their name + type, for instance arguntents with names
      ending in "fd" with type "int" get the fd scnprintf beautifier attached,
      etc.
      
      Soon this will take advantage of the kernel BTF information to augment
      enumerations based on the tracefs "format" type info.

      perf trace: Enclose all events argument lists with () · 311baaf9
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      So that they look a bit like normal strace-like syscall enter+exit
      lines.
      
      They will look even more when we switch from using libtraceevent's
      tep_print_event() routine in favour of using all the perf beautifiers
      used by the strace-like syscall enter+exit lines.

      perf trace: Add array of chars scnprintf beautifier · 9597945d
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Needed for sched's traceoints prev/next comm, where, unlike with
      syscalls, we are not dealing with an integer or pointer, but an array
      straight out from the ring buffer.

      perf trace: Add the syscall_arg_fmt pointer to syscall_arg · 888ca854
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      So that the scnprintf beautifiers can access it, as will be the case
      with the char array one in the following csets, that needs to know
      the number of elements in an array.

      Since all they operate on is on a syscall_arg_fmt instance, so move them
      to allow use it from the upcoming tracepoint fprintf routine.
