Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:

With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...

This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).

Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

The semantic associated in tools/perf/ with foo__delete(instance) is to
release all resources referenced by 'instance' members and then release
the memory for 'instance' itself.

The perf_session_env__delete() function isn't doing this, it just does
the first part, but the space used by 'instance' itself isn't freed, as
it is embedded in a larger structure, that will be freed at other stage.

For these cases we se foo__exit(), i.e. the usage is:

 void foo__delete(foo)
 {
         if (foo) {
                 foo__exit(foo);
                 free(foo);
         }
 }

But when we have something like:

 struct bar {
         struct foo foo;
         . . .
 }

Then we can't really call foo__delete(&bar.foo), we must have this
instead:

 void bar__exit(bar)
 {
         foo__exit(&bar.foo);
         /* free other bar-> resources */
 }

 void bar__delete(bar)
 {
         if (bar) {
		bar__exit(bar);
                free(bar);
         }
 }

So just rename perf_session_env__delete() to perf_session_env__exit().

To not sample, what we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events
for threads, using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE +
PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES and freq=1 (the default), makes perf reenable
irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, disabling nohz, not good for some use
cases where all we want is to get notifications when threads comes and
goes...

Fix it by using PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (no counter rotation) and
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY (created by Adrian so that we could have access to
those PERF_RECORD_ goodies).

The python binding still doesn't provide symbol resolving facilities,
but the recent addition of the trace_event__register_resolver() function
made it add as a dependency the machine__resolve_kernel_addr() method,
that in turn drags all the symbol resolving code.

The problem:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf test -v python
  17: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 6853
  Traceback (most recent call last):

  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: machine__resolve_kernel_addr
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  [root@zoo ~]#

Fix it by requiring this function to receive the resolver as a
parameter, just like pevent_register_function_resolver(), i.e. do
not explicitely refer to an object file not included in
tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources.

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:

New features:

  - Introduce PERF_RECORD_SWITCH(_CPU_WIDE) and use it in 'record' to
    ask for context switches, allowing non priviledged tasks to know
    when they are switched in and out, which wasn't possible with
    the other context switch tracepoint and software events, see the
    patch description for a comprehensive justification (Adrian Hunter)

  - Stop collecting /proc/kallsyms in perf.data files, saving about
    4.5MB on a typical x86-64 system, use the the symbol resolution
    routines used in all the other tools (report, top, etc) now that
    we can ask libtraceevent to use perf's symbol resolution code.
    (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

User visible fixes:

  - Expose perf's symbol resolver to libtraceevent, so that its plugins can
    resolve tracepoint fields to kernel functions, like the 'function' field
    in the "timer:hrtimer_start tracepoint" (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure changes:

  - Map propagation of thread and cpu maps improvements, prep work for
    'perf stat' new features (Jiri Olsa)

There are already two events for context switches, namely the tracepoint
sched:sched_switch and the software event context_switches.
Unfortunately neither are suitable for use by non-privileged users for
the purpose of synchronizing hardware trace data (e.g. Intel PT) to the
context switch.

Tracepoints are no good at all for non-privileged users because they
need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= -1.

On the other hand, kernel software events need either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid <= 1.

Now many distributions do default perf_event_paranoid to 1 making
context_switches a contender, except it has another problem (which is
also shared with sched:sched_switch) which is that it happens before
perf schedules events out instead of after perf schedules events in.
Whereas a privileged user can see all the events anyway, a
non-privileged user only sees events for their own processes, in other
words they see when their process was scheduled out not when it was
scheduled in. That presents two problems to use the event:

1. the information comes too late, so tools have to look ahead in the
   event stream to find out what the current state is

2. if they are unlucky tracing might have stopped before the
   context-switches event is recorded.

This new PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event does not have those problems
and it also has a couple of other small advantages.

It is easier to use because it is an auxiliary event (like mmap, comm
and task events) which can be enabled by setting a single bit. It is
smaller than sched:sched_switch and easier to parse.

To make the event useful for privileged users also, if the
context is cpu-wide then the event record will be
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE which is the same as
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH except it also provides the next or
previous pid/tid.

~4.5MB per perf.data when we can get it from one of the places the perf
symbol resolution looks for that symtab (debuginfo, ~/.debug/,

We were storing a copy of kallsyms inside perf.data file so that we
could resolve kernel addresses to function (start, name, mod) tuples,
but that can be achieved using the symbol resolving routines we have
in symbols.c, and that are used elsewhere in tools/perf.

So, do just like 'perf trace' did and ask libtraceevent to use perf's
symbol resolution routines.

The next step is to just skip whatever kallsyms data is embedded in
older perf.data files and finally to stop storing kallsyms in the perf
data file, as the 20-bytes build-id stored in perf.data's header is
enough to find out the right symtab (be it ELF, kcore, kallsyms, etc) to
use.

The perf tools have a symbol resolver that includes solving kernel
symbols using either kallsyms or ELF symtabs, and it also is using
libtraceevent to format the trace events fields, including via
subsystem specific plugins, like the "timer" one.

To solve fields like "timer:hrtimer_start"'s "function", libtraceevent
needs a way to map from its value to a function name and addr.

This patch provides a way for tools that already have symbol resolving
facilities to ask libtraceevent to use it when needing to resolve
kernel symbols.

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:

New features:

  - Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'. (Wang Nan)

  - 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:

      $ trace -e file touch file

    Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More work needed to
    add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also to complement what was
    added for the 'file' group, included as a proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  - Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
    related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI. (Davidlohr Bueso)

User visible fixes:

  - Apply --filter to all events in a glob matching, not just the last one. (Wang Nan)

Documentation changes:

  - Document setting '-e pmu/period=N/' in the 'perf record' man page. (Kan Liang)

Infrastructure changes:

  - 'perf probe' code simplifications and movements to separate files. (Masami Hiramatsu)

  - Fix makefile generation under 'dash'. (Sergei Trofimovich)

Allows a way of measuring low level kernel implementation of FUTEX_LOCK_PI and
FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI.

The program comes in two flavors:

(i) single futex (default), all threads contend on the same uaddr.  For the
sake of the benchmark, we call into kernel space even when the lock is
uncontended.  The kernel will set it to TID, any waters that come in and
contend for the pi futex will be handled respectively by the kernel.

(ii) -M option for multiple futexes, each thread deals with its own futex. This
is a trivial scenario and only measures kernel handling of 0->TID transition.

This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

 # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

 # /tmp/perf report --stdio
 ...
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
  # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
  #
      99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
      0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
      0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
 ...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

 # cat << EOF > ./tmp
 > #!/bin/sh
 > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
 > EOF
 # chmod a+x ./tmp
 # ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

  AVR32/time: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface

There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at
Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing
multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add
'--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one.

For example:

 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
 [1] 464
 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2092
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...

In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and
there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'.

This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and
apply filter on all events between two boundary marks.

After applying this patch:

 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 1  of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 1
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...

  access
  chmod

Then, on a quiet desktop, try running this and then moving your mouse to
see the deluge of mouse related activity:

  # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
  #
  # trace --ev probe:vfs_getname --filter-pids 2232 -e file
   0.042 (0.042 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438                                   ) ...

   0.192 (0.069 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
   0.230 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14c3c10, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.230 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm")
   0.253 (0.041 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = 14
   0.459 (0.008 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.459 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/home/acme/.icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_side")
   0.468 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +
raw_syscalls:sys_exit(open) sequence...

Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
in 'strace' and send it our way :-)
