Add 'overwrite' attribute to evsel to mark whether this event is overwritable. The following commits will support syntax like: # perf record -e cycles/overwrite/ ... An overwritable evsel requires kernel support for the perf_event_attr.write_backward ring buffer feature. Add it to perf_missing_feature.

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-20160520' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: User visible changes: - We should not use the current value of the kernel.perf_event_max_stack as the default value for --max-stack in tools that can process perf.data files, they will only match if that sysctl wasn't changed from its default value at the time the perf.data file was recorded, fix it. This fixes a bug where a 'perf record -a --call-graph dwarf ; perf report' produces a glibc invalid free backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Provide a better warning when running 'perf trace' on a system where the kernel.kptr_restrict is set to 1, similar to the one produced by 'perf record', noticed on ubuntu 16.04 where this is the default kptr_restrict setting. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Fix ordering of instructions in the annotation code, noticed when annotating ARM binaries, now that table is auto-ordered at first use, to avoid more such problems (Chris Ryder) - Set buildid dir under symfs when --symfs is provided (He Kuang) - Fix the 'exit_group()' syscall output in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) - Only auto set call-graph to "dwarf" in 'perf trace' when syscalls are being traced (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

This patch moves the reference of buildid dir to 'symfs/.debug' and skips the local buildid dir when '--symfs' is given, so that every single file opened by perf is relative to symfs directory now.

We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl, as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines. Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can be overriden using --max-stack or equivalent.

This means the user can't access /proc/kallsyms, for instance, because /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict is set to 1. Instead leave the ref_reloc_sym as NULL and code using it will cope. This allows 'perf trace' to work on such systems for !root, the only issue would be when trying to resolve kernel symbols, which happens, for instance, in some libtracevent plugins. A warning for that case will be provided in the next patch in this series. Noticed in Ubuntu 16.04, that comes with kptr_restrict=1.

The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc}, while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members. A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain implementation by some arch.

We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array, excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob. This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.

Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default. But it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime). Changing to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO. Before: # perf stat -a sleep 0.1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 403.038603 task-clock (msec) # 4.001 CPUs utilized 150 context-switches # 0.372 K/sec 7 cpu-migrations # 0.017 K/sec 71 page-faults # 0.176 K/sec 23,705,169 cycles # 0.059 GHz 15,888,166 instructions # 0.67 insn per cycle 3,326,078 branches # 8.253 M/sec 87,643 branch-misses # 2.64% of all branches 0.100737009 seconds time elapsed # After: # perf stat -a sleep 0.1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 404.271182 cpu-clock (msec) # 4.000 CPUs utilized 143 context-switches # 0.354 K/sec 13 cpu-migrations # 0.032 K/sec 73 page-faults # 0.181 K/sec 22,119,220 cycles # 0.055 GHz 13,622,065 instructions # 0.62 insn per cycle 2,918,769 branches # 7.220 M/sec 85,033 branch-misses # 2.91% of all branches 0.101073089 seconds time elapsed # Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463119263-5569-3-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Currently only the task-clock event updates the runtime_nsec so it cannot show the metric when using cpu-clock events. However cpu clock works basically same as task-clock, so no need to not update the runtime IMHO.

When unwinding callchains on a different machine, vdso info should be available so the unwind process won't be interrupted if address falls into vdso region. But in most cases, the addresses of sample events are not in vdso range, the buildid of a zero hit vdso won't be stored into perf.data. This patch stores vdso buildid regardless of whether the vdso is hit or not.
