Users can pass options to tracepoints defined in the BPF script. For
example:
# perf record -e ./test.c/no-inherit/ bash
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
# exit
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data (139 samples) ]
(no-inherit works, only the sys_read issued by bash are captured, at
least 10000 sys_read issued by dd are skipped.)
test.c:
#define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
SEC("func=sys_read")
int bpf_func__sys_read(void *ctx)
{
return 1;
}
char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
no-inherit is applied to the kprobe event defined in test.c.

This patch introduces basic facilities to support config different slots
in a BPF map one by one.
array.nr_ranges and array.ranges are introduced into 'struct
parse_events_term', where ranges is an array of indices range (start,
length) which will be configured by this config term. nr_ranges is the
size of the array. The array is passed to 'struct bpf_map_priv'. To
indicate the new type of configuration, BPF_MAP_KEY_RANGES is added as a
new key type. bpf_map_config_foreach_key() is extended to iterate over
those indices instead of all possible keys.
Code in this commit will be enabled by following commit which enables
the indices syntax for array configuration.

'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For
example:
# perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
# ls
# exit
Performance counter stats for 'bash':
266258061 instructions/no-inherit/
266258061 instructions/inherit/
1.402183915 seconds time elapsed
The result is confusing, because user may expect the first
'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command.
This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'.
Result:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/'
\___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
...
We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.
This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'instructions/badterm/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: config,config1,config2,name
# ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls

Purges 'struct parse_event_term' entries from a list_head.
Some users need this because they don't allocate space for the list
head, it maybe on the stack or embedded into some other struct.
Next patch will convert users that need just purging and then the
perf_events__free_terms() routine will free the list head as well,
finally being renamed to perf_events_terms__delete().

This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:
# perf record --event bpf-file.c command
This patch does following works:
1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
file or object.
2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
in-memory object.
Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:
# perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1
Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.
Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.
After applying this patch, commands like:
# perf record --event foo.o sleep
become possible.
However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the
evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program
attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to
be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list,
this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be
removed when probing and extracting code is ready.
Commiter notes:

This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by
config terms like:
# perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ...
# perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ...
So user can control inherit bit for each event separately.
In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex
CPU intensive computations in both of its children.
Basic result with and without inherit:
# perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio
# ...
# Samples: 23K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 23641752891
...
# Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 30428312415
# perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 11699501775
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 15058023559
Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable:
# perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/'
# Event count (approx.): 11895759282
...
# Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 30668000441
Enable inherit for one event when globally disable:
# perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/'
# Event count (approx.): 23285400229
...
# Samples: 11K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 14969050259
Committer note:
One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in
the perf.data file size as above by doing one of:
# perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
#
So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using
--no-inherit:
# perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event:
# perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.909 MB perf.data (48 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles/inherit/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
#
We can see it as well in by using a more verbose level of debug messages in
the tool that sets up the perf_event_attr, 'perf record' in this case:

Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Show proper error message and show valid terms when wrong config terms
is specified for hw/sw type perf events.
This patch makes the original error format function formats_error_string()
more generic, which only outputs the static config terms for hw/sw perf
events, and prepends pmu formats for pmu events.
Before this patch:
$ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
After this patch:
$ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.
One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.
The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

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 '&&'.

Patch "perf tools: Add location to pmu event terms" moved declarations
for parse_events_term__num() and parse_events_term__str() so that they
were no longer visible in parse-events.y. That can result in segfaults
as the arguments no longer need match the function prototype.

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:
struct parse_events_error {
int idx;
char *str;
char *help;
};
where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.
The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:
$ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
\___ unknown tracepoint
...
$ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
...
$ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
\___ parser error
...
The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR
cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style
format as two events.
The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in
known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME
or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these
information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events.
The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime.
Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as
"a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and
"stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead.
Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.
I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this
be changed to use -MD?
Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

Use command line string provided by the -e option to name events. This
way we get unique events names that also support pmu event syntax
(<pmu_name>/<config>/<modifier>). No need to reconstruct the name
anymore from its attributes. We use the event_desc of the header to
store the name in the perf.data header. Thus it is also available for
perf report.
Implemented by putting the parser in different states to parse events or
configs.
And since event names are now generated from the command line
specification. Update event names in test cases accordingly.

This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.
The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.
With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
# perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls
resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.
All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.
Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls
# 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
-e instructions ls
# 1 group
# (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
-e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls
It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:
# perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'
resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with
event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as
an update to the existing event modifiers.
Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function.
Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is
initialized/updated respectively.
Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember
if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the
default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group
modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set
by default or by event modifier.
Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset
the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups.
The grammar for group is:
groups: groups ',' group | group
group: group_name '{' events '}' group_mod
group_name: name | empty
group_mod: ':' group_mods | empty
group_mods: event_mod
It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier
for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event
modifiers.
It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on
command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of
the shells.
It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like:
'{cycles,faults}'
- anonymous group
'group1{cycles,faults}
- group with name 'group1'
'{cycles,faults}:k
- anonymous group with event modifier 'k'
'{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}'
- two anonymous groups
The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

Add basic bash completion for the -e option in record, top and stat
subcommands. Only hardware, software and tracepoint events are
supported.
Breakpoints, raw events and events grouping completion need more
thinking.
