With this patch, we can use the 'percore' event qualifier in perf-stat.
root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ -a -A -I1000
1.000773050 S0-C0 98,352,832 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.01%)
1.000773050 S0-C1 103,763,057 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%)
1.000773050 S0-C2 196,776,995 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%)
1.000773050 S0-C3 176,493,779 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%)
1.000773050 CPU0 47,699,641 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (50.02%)
1.000773050 CPU1 49,052,451 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU2 102,771,422 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU3 100,784,662 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU4 43,171,342 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU5 54,152,158 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU6 93,618,410 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%)
1.000773050 CPU7 74,477,589 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.99%)
In this example, we count the event 'ref-cycles' per-core and per-CPU in
one perf stat command-line. From the output, we can see:
S0-C0 = CPU0 + CPU4
S0-C1 = CPU1 + CPU5
S0-C2 = CPU2 + CPU6
S0-C3 = CPU3 + CPU7
So the result is expected (tiny difference is ignored).
Note that, the 'percore' event qualifier needs to use with option '-A'.

Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.
We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level.
This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed.
v4:
---
1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for
this new qualifier.
2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch
v3:
---
Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments.
Before:
"return term->val.percore ? true : false;"
Now:
"return term->val.percore;"
v2:
---
Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to
comments from Jiri and Andi.

'perf report' displays recorded data on the screen and emits warnings
and debug messages in the status line (last one on screen).
perf also supports the possibility to write all debug messages to stderr
(instead of writing them to the status line).
This is achieved with the following command:
# ./perf --debug stderr=1 report -vvvvv -i ~/fast.data 2>/tmp/2
# ll /tmp/2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tmricht tmricht 5420835 May 7 13:46 /tmp/2
#
The usage of variable stderr=1 is not documented, so add it to the perf
man page.

The sample timestamp is updated to ensure that the timestamp represents
the time of the sample and not a branch that the decoder is still
walking towards. The sample timestamp is updated when the decoder
returns, but the decoder does not return for non-taken branches. Update
the sample timestamp then also.
Note that commit 3f04d98e97 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd1 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp
for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently
hasn't reached.
The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not
handling TNT packets exactly correctly.
In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the
decoder must first walk to that branch.
That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this
patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken
branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false
for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet.
To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to
distinguish the cases.
Note that commit 3f04d98e97 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample
timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4
stable tree as commit a4ebb58fd1 ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample

The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an
estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known
timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in
extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the
timestamp goes forwards.
Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods
specified as a count of instructions.

zstd_init(, comp_level = 0) initializes decompression part of API only
hat now consists of zstd_decompress_stream() function.
The perf.data PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records are decompressed using
zstd_decompress_stream() function into a linked list of mmaped memory
regions of mmap_comp_len size (struct decomp).
After decompression of one COMPRESSED record its content is iterated and
fetched for usual processing. The mmaped memory regions with
decompressed events are kept in the linked list till the tool process
termination.
When dumping raw records (e.g., perf report -D --header) file offsets of
events from compressed records are printed as zero.
Committer notes:
Since now we have support for processing PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED, we see
none, in raw form, like we saw in the previous patch commiter notes,
they were decompressed into the usual PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,COMM,etc}
records, we only see the stats for those PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED events,
and since I used the file generated in the commiter notes for the
previous patch, there they are, 2 compressed records:
$ perf report --header-only | grep cmdline
# cmdline : /home/acme/bin/perf record -z2 sleep 1
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0
$ perf report --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Implemented -z,--compression_level[=<n>] option that enables compression
of mmaped kernel data buffers content in runtime during perf record mode
collection. Default option value is 1 (fastest compression).
Compression overhead has been measured for serial and AIO streaming when
profiling matrix multiplication workload:
-------------------------------------------------------------
| SERIAL | AIO-1 |
----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-z | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) | OVH(x) | ratio(x) size(MiB) |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|

OVH = (Execution time with -z N) / (Execution time with -z 0)
ratio - compression ratio
size - number of bytes that was compressed
size ~= trace size x ratio
Committer notes:
Testing it I noticed that it failed to disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, and as we'd have to uncompress everything to
look for the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,SAMPLE,etc} to figure out which build ids
to read from DSOs, we better disable build id processing when
compression is enabled, logging with pr_debug() when doing so:
Original patch:
# perf record -z2
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
0x1746e0 [0x76]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.568 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.452 MB, ratio is 3.995) ]
#
After auto-disabling build id processing when compression is enabled:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.292) ]
$ perf record -v -z2 sleep 1
Compression enabled, disabling build id collection at the end of the session.
<SNIP extra -v pr_debug() messages>
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.305) ]
$
Also, with parts of the patch originally after this one moved to just
before this one we get:
$ perf record -z2 sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data, compressed (original 0.001 MB, ratio is 2.371) ]
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0 0x1b8 [0x155]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
0 0x30d [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED: unhandled!
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0
$
I.e. when faced with PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED that we still have no code
to process, we just show it as not being handled, skip them and
continue, while before we had:
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
0x1b8 [0x169]: failed to process type: 81 [Invalid argument]
Error:

0 0x1b8 [0x169]: PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED

Committer note:
Split from a larger patch, this only dumps PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED as
unhandled, so that when we introduce the record part in the next patch,
we don't see unhandled events when using 'perf record -D'.
Changed it so that we dump the event if the handler is just a stub, i.e.
for the case where we don't have ZSTD linked but we're processing a
perf.data file generated by a tool with that linked.
Also when failing to decompress we can't just dump the uncompressed
event and return 0, we have to propagate the error.

Compression is implemented using the functions from zstd.c. As the memory
to operate on the compression uses mmap->aio.data[] buffers. If Zstd
streaming compression API fails for some reason the data to be compressed
are just copied into the memory buffers using plain memcpy().
Compressed trace frame consists of an array of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED
records. Each element of the array is not longer that PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE
and consists of perf_event_header followed by the compressed chunk
that is decompressed on the loading stage.
perf_mmap__aio_push() is replaced by perf_mmap__push() which is now used
in the both serial and AIO streaming cases. perf_mmap__push() is extended
with positive return values to signify absence of data ready for
processing.

Implemented functions are based on Zstd streaming compression API.
The functions are used in runtime to compress data that come from mmaped
kernel buffer. zstd_init(), zstd_fini() are used for initialization and
finalization to allocate and deallocate internal zstd objects.
zstd_compress_stream_to_records() is used to convert parts of mmaped
kernel buffer into an array of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records.

ratio in the end of the data collection:
compression ratio = bytes_transferred / bytes_compressed
The 'bytes_transferred' metric accumulates the amount of bytes that was

'bytes_compressed' accumulates the amount of bytes that was received
after applying compression.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Ultra_Path_Interconnect
"The Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) is a point-to-point processor
interconnect developed by Intel which replaced the Intel QuickPath
Interconnect (QPI) in Xeon Skylake-SP platforms starting in 2017.
UPI is a low-latency coherent interconnect for scalable multiprocessor
systems with a shared address space. It uses a directory-based home
snoop coherency protocol with a transfer speed of up to 10.4 GT/s.
Supporting processors typically have two or three UPI links."

When compiled with libunwind, perf does some preparatory work when
processing side-band events. This is not needed when report actually
don't unwind dwarf callchains, so it's disabled with
dwarf_callchain_users bool.
However we could move that check to higher level and shield more
unwanted code for normal report processing, giving us following speed up
on kernel build profile:
Before:
$ perf record make -j40
...
$ ll ../../perf.data
-rw-------. 1 jolsa jolsa 461783932 Apr 26 09:11 perf.data
$ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out
Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':
78,669,920,155 cycles:u
99,076,431,951 instructions:u # 1.26 insn per cycle
55.382823668 seconds time elapsed
27.512341000 seconds user
27.712871000 seconds sys
After:
$ perf stat -e cycles:u,instructions:u perf report -i perf.data > out
Performance counter stats for 'perf report -i perf.data':
59,626,798,904 cycles:u
88,583,575,849 instructions:u # 1.49 insn per cycle
21.296935559 seconds time elapsed
20.010191000 seconds user
1.202935000 seconds sys
The speed is higher with profile having many side-band events,
because these trigger libunwind preparatory code.
This does not apply for perf compiled with libdw for dwarf unwind,
only for build with libunwind.

The hist__account_cycles() function is executed when the
hist_iter__branch_callback() is called.
But it looks it's not necessary. In hist__account_cycles, it already
walks on all branch entries.
This patch moves the hist__account_cycles out of callback, now the data
processing is much faster than before.
Previous code has an issue that the ch[offset].num++ (in
__symbol__account_cycles) is executed repeatedly since
hist__account_cycles is called in each hist_iter__branch_callback, so
the counting of ch[offset].num is not correct (too big).
With this patch, the issue is fixed. And we don't need the code of
"ch->reset >= ch->num / 2" to check if there are too many overlaps (in
annotation__count_and_fill), otherwise some data would be hidden.
Now, we can try, for example:
perf record -b ...
perf annotate or perf report -s symbol
The before/after output should be no change.
v3:
---
Fix the crash in stdio mode.
Like previous code, it needs the checking of ui__has_annotation()
before hist__account_cycles()
v2:
---
1. Cover the similar perf report
2. Remove the checking code "ch->reset >= ch->num / 2"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main kernel changes were:
- add support for Intel's "adaptive PEBS v4" - which embedds LBS data
in PEBS records and can thus batch up and reduce the IRQ (NMI) rate
significantly - reducing overhead and making call-graph profiling
less intrusive.
- add Intel CPU core and uncore support updates for Tremont, Icelake,
- extend the x86 PMU constraints scheduler with 'constraint ranges'
to better support Icelake hw constraints,
- make x86 call-chain support work better with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
- misc other changes
Tooling changes:
- updates to the main tools: 'perf record', 'perf trace', 'perf
stat'
- updated Intel and S/390 vendor events
- libtraceevent updates
- misc other updates and fixes"

We were including sys/syscall.h and asm/unistd.h, since sys/syscall.h
includes asm/unistd.h, sometimes this leads to the redefinition of

Robert Walker reported a segmentation fault is observed when process
CoreSight trace data; this issue can be easily reproduced by the command
'perf report --itrace=i1000i' for decoding tracing data.
If neither the 'b' flag (synthesize branches events) nor 'l' flag
(synthesize last branch entries) are specified to option '--itrace',
cs_etm_queue::prev_packet will not been initialised. After merging the
code to support exception packets and sample flags, there introduced a
number of uses of cs_etm_queue::prev_packet without checking whether it
is valid, for these cases any accessing to uninitialised prev_packet
will cause crash.
As cs_etm_queue::prev_packet is used more widely now and it's already
hard to follow which functions have been called in a context where the
validity of cs_etm_queue::prev_packet has been checked, this patch
always allocates memory for cs_etm_queue::prev_packet.

An -ENOMEM error is not reported in the GTK GUI. Instead this error
message pops up on the screen:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1
Processing events... [974K/3M]
Error:failed to process sample
0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68
However when I use the same perf.data file with --stdio it works:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1 --stdio \
| head -12
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 76K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 99056160000
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............... ................. .........

8.34% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update
2.19% kworker/u512:1- [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update
The sample precentage is a bit low.....
The GUI always fails in the FINISHED_ROUND event (68) and does not
indicate the reason why.
When happened is the following. Perf report calls a lot of functions and
down deep when a FINISHED_ROUND event is processed, these functions are
called:
perf_session__process_event()
+ perf_session__process_user_event()
+ process_finished_round()
+ ordered_events__flush()
+ __ordered_events__flush()
+ do_flush()
+ ordered_events__deliver_event()
+ perf_session__deliver_event()
+ machine__deliver_event()
+ perf_evlist__deliver_event()
+ process_sample_event()
+ hist_entry_iter_add() --> only called in GUI case!!!
+ hist_iter__report__callback()
+ symbol__inc_addr_sample()
Now this functions runs out of memory and
returns -ENOMEM. This is reported all the way up
until function
perf_session__process_event() returns to its caller, where -ENOMEM is
changed to -EINVAL and processing stops:
if ((skip = perf_session__process_event(session, event, head)) < 0) {
pr_err("%#" PRIx64 " [%#x]: failed to process type: %d\n",
head, event->header.size, event->header.type);
err = -EINVAL;
goto out_err;
}
This occurred in the FINISHED_ROUND event when it has to process some
10000 entries and ran out of memory.
This patch indicates the root cause and displays it in the status line
of ther perf report GUI.
Output before (on GUI status line):
0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68
Output after:
0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 [not enough memory]
Committer notes:
the 'skip' variable needs to be initialized to -EINVAL, so that when the
size is less than sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) we avoid this valid
compiler warning:
util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session__process_events’:

Trying to reproduce a report by Vineet, I noticed that, with just
cross-built zlib and numactl libraries, I ended up with the above
failure.
So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define, check for that and
numactl libraries, I ended up with the above failure.
So, since RUSAGE_THREAD is available as a define in the system headers,
check if it is defined in the 'perf bench numa' sources and define it if
not.
Now it builds and I have to figure out if the problem reported by Vineet
only takes place if we have libelf or some other library available.
