For perf mem report / perf mem record, pass all unknown options
through to the underlying report/record commands. This makes things
like
perf mem record -a sleep 1
work. Matches how c2c and other tools work.

Currently print count interval for performance counters values is
limited by 10ms so reading the values at frequencies higher than 100Hz
is restricted by the tool.
This change makes perf stat -I possible on frequencies up to 1KHz and,
to some extent, makes perf stat -I to be on-par with perf record
sampling profiling.
When running perf stat -I for monitoring e.g. PCIe uncore counters and
at the same time profiling some I/O workload by perf record e.g. for
cpu-cycles and context switches, it is then possible to observe
consolidated CPU/OS/IO(Uncore) performance picture for that workload.
Tool overhead warning printed when specifying -v option can be missed
due to screen scrolling in case you have output to the console
so message is moved into help available by running perf stat -h.

Starting on v4.12 event parsing code for dynamic pmu events already
supports prefix-based matching of multiple pmus when creating dynamic
events. E.g., in a system with the following dynamic pmus:
mypmu_0
mypmu_1
mypmu_2
mypmu_4
passing mypmu/<config>/ as an event spec will result in the creation of
the event in all of the pmus. This change expands this matching through
the use of fnmatch so glob-like expressions can be used to create events
in multiple pmus. E.g., in the system described above if a user only
wants to create the event in mypmu_0 and mypmu_1, mypmu_[01]/<config>/
can be passed.

One can set a cgroup as a default cgroup to be used by all events or
set cgroups with the 'perf stat' and 'perf record' behaviour, i.e.
'-G A' will be the cgroup for events defined so far in the command line.
Here in my main machine, with a kvm instance running a rhel6 guinea pig
I have:
# ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/ | grep drw
drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 360 Mar 6 12:04 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 0 Mar 6 15:05 machine.slice

So I can go ahead and use that cgroup hierarchy, say lets see what
syscalls are being emitted by threads in that 'machine.slice' hierarchy
that are taking more than 100ms:

When using -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the
first event gets the correct cgroup setting, all events from the second
onwards will track system-wide events.

Introduce a new option to print counts after N milliseconds and update
'perf stat' documentation accordingly.
Show below is the output of the new option for perf stat.
$ perf stat --time 2000 -e cycles -a
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
157,260,423 cycles
2.003060766 seconds time elapsed
We can print the count deltas after N milliseconds with this new
introduced option. This option is not supported with "-I" option.
In addition, according to Kangliang's patch(19afd10410), the
monitoring overhead for system-wide core event could be very high if the
interval-print parameter was below 100ms, and the limitation value is
10ms.
So the same warning will be displayed when the time is set between 10ms
to 100ms, and the minimal time is limited to 10ms. Users can make a
decision according to their spcific cases.
Committer notes:
This actually stops the workload after the specified time, then prints
the counts.
So I renamed the option to --timeout and updated the documentation to
state that it will not just print the counts after the specified time,
but will really stop the 'perf stat' session and print the counts.
The rename from 'time' to 'timeout' also fixes the build in systems
where 'time' is used by glibc and can't be used as a name of a variable,
such as centos:5 and centos:6.
Changes since v3:
- none.
Changes since v2:
- modify the time check in __run_perf_stat func to keep some consistency
with the workload case.
- add the warning when the time is set between 10ms to 100ms.
- add the pr_err when the time is set below 10ms.
Changes since v1:
- none.

Add support to display group output for if non grouped events are
detected and user forces --group option. Now for non-group events
recorded like:
$ perf record -e 'cycles,instructions' ls
you can still get group output by using --group option
in report:
$ perf report --group --stdio

Committer note:
We should improve on this by making sure that the first line states that
this is not a group, but since the user doesn't have to force group view
when really using grouped events (e.g. '{cycles,instructions}'), the
user better know what is being done...

In the default 'perf record' configuration, all samples are processed,
to create the HEADER_BUILD_ID table. So it's very easy to get the
first/last samples and save the time to perf file header via the
function write_sample_time().
Later, at post processing time, perf report/script will fetch the time
from perf file header.

Changelog:
v7: Just update the patch description according to Arnaldo's suggestion.
v6: Currently '--buildid-all' is not enabled at default. So the walking
on all samples is the default operation. There is no big overhead
to calculate the timestamp boundary in process_sample_event handler
once we already go through all samples. So the timestamp boundary
calculation is enabled by default when '--buildid-all' is not enabled.
While if '--buildid-all' is enabled, we creates a new option
"--timestamp-boundary" for user to decide if it enables the
timestamp boundary calculation.
v5: There is an issue that the sample walking can only work when
'--buildid-all' is not enabled. So we need to let the walking
be able to work even if '--buildid-all' is enabled and let the
processing skips the dso hit marking for this case.
At first, I want to provide a new option "--record-time-boundaries".
While after consideration, I think a new option is not very
necessary.
v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time and last_sample_time
from struct record and directly save them in perf_evlist.

perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time range of
output. That's very useful to slice large traces, e.g. when processing
the output of perf script for some analysis.
But right now --time only supports absolute time. Also there is no fast
way to get the start/end times of a given trace except for looking at
it. This makes it hard to e.g. only decode the first half of the trace,
which is useful for parallelization of scripts
Another problem is that perf records are variable size and there is no
synchronization mechanism. So the only way to find the last sample
reliably would be to walk all samples. But we want to avoid that in perf
report/... because it is already quite expensive. That is why storing
the first sample time and last sample time in perf record is better.
This patch creates a new header feature type HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME and
related ops. Save the first sample time and the last sample time to the
feature section in perf file header. That will be done when, for
instance, processing build-ids, where we already have to process all
samples to create the build-id table, take advantage of that to further
amortize that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make 'perf
report/script' faster when using --time.
Committer testing:
After this patch is applied the header is written with zeroes, we need
the next patch, for "perf record" to actually write the timestamps:
# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\(
22501155244406 0x44f0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21be8c5 period: 1 addr: 0

# perf report --header | grep "time of "
# time of first sample : 0.000000
# time of last sample : 0.000000
#
Changelog:
v7: 1. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.
2. Add following clarification in patch description according to
Arnaldo's suggestion.
"That will be done when, for instance, processing build-ids,
where we already have to process all samples to create the

v4: Use perf script time style for timestamp printing. Also add with
the printing of sample duration.

perf_session. Just define them in perf_evlist

Or, you can use separators in source filename, e.g.
=====
# ./perf probe -x /opt/test/a.out foo+bar.c:3
Semantic error :There is non-digit character in offset.
Error: Command Parse Error.
=====
Usually "+" in source file cause parser error, but

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

Add support for computing 'perf stat' style metrics in 'perf script'.
When using leader sampling we can get metrics for each sampling period
by computing formulas over the values of the different group members.
This allows things like fine grained IPC tracking through sampling, much
more fine grained than with 'perf stat'.
The metric is still averaged over the sampling period, it is not just
for the sampling point.
This patch adds a new metric output field for 'perf script' that uses
the existing 'perf stat' metrics infrastructure to compute any metrics
supported by 'perf stat'.
For example to sample IPC:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles,instructions}:S' -a sleep 1
$ perf script -F metric,ip,sym,time,cpu,comm

This requires disabling SMT if you have it enabled, because SMT would
require sampling per core, which is not supported.

v2:
Use evsel->priv for new fields
Port to new base line, support fp output.
Handle stats in ->stats, not ->priv
Minor cleanups
Extra explanation about the use of the term 'averaging', from Andi in the
thread in the Link: tag below:
<quote Andi>
The current samples contains the sum of event counts for a sampling period.
EventA-1 EventA-2 EventA-3 EventA-4
EventB-1 EventB-2 EventC-3
gap with no events overflow
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
period-start period-end
^ ^
| |
previous sample current sample
So EventA = 4 and EventB = 3 at the sample point
I generate a metric, let's say EventA / EventB. It applies to the whole period.
But the metric is over a longer time which does not have the same behavior. For
example the gap above doesn't have any events, while they are clustered at the
beginning and end of the sample period.
But we're summing everything together. The metric doesn't know that the gap is
different than the busy period.
That's what I'm trying to express with averaging.
