Stephane found that the name of the forked process in a system-wide
mode is wrong when --delay option is used. For example,
# perf record -a --delay=1000 noploop 3
The noploop process will run a busy loop for 3 second. And on an idle
machine it should show up at the top in the perf report. It works
well without the --delay option. But if I add the option, it showed
'perf' not 'noploop'.
# perf report -s comm -q | head -3
52.94% perf
16.65% swapper
12.04% chrome
It turned out that the dummy event didn't work at all and it missed
COMM and MMAP events for the noploop process (and others too). We
should enable the dummy event immediately in system-wide mode, as the
enable-on-exec would work only for task events.
With this change,
# perf report -s comm -q | head -3
52.75% noploop
17.03% swapper
12.83% chrome

The 'perf record' and 'perf stat' commands have supported the option
'-C/--cpus' to count or collect only on the list of CPUs provided. This
option needs to be supported for hybrid as well.
For hybrid support, it needs to check that the cpu list are available
on hybrid PMU. One example for AlderLake, cpu0-7 is 'cpu_core', cpu8-11
is 'cpu_atom'.
Before:
# perf stat -e cpu_core/cycles/ -C11 -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 11':
<not supported> cpu_core/cycles/
1.006179431 seconds time elapsed
The 'perf stat' command silently returned "<not supported>" without any
helpful information. It should error out pointing out that that cpu11
was not 'cpu_core'.
After:
# perf stat -e cpu_core/cycles/ -C11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: 11 isn't a 'cpu_core', please use a CPU list in the 'cpu_core' range (0-7)
failed to use cpu list 11
We also need to support the events without pmu prefix specified.
# perf stat -e cycles -C11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: 11 isn't a 'cpu_core', please use a CPU list in the 'cpu_core' range (0-7)
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 11':
1,067,373 cpu_atom/cycles/
1.005544738 seconds time elapsed
The perf tool creates two cycles events automatically, cpu_core/cycles/ and
cpu_atom/cycles/. It checks that cpu11 is not 'cpu_core', then shows a warning
for cpu_core/cycles/ and only count the cpu_atom/cycles/.
If part of cpus are 'cpu_core' and part of cpus are 'cpu_atom', for example,
# perf stat -e cycles -C0,11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: use 0 in 'cpu_core' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.
WARNING: use 11 in 'cpu_atom' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,11':
1,914,704 cpu_core/cycles/
2,036,983 cpu_atom/cycles/
1.005815641 seconds time elapsed
It now automatically selects cpu0 for cpu_core/cycles/, selects cpu11 for
cpu_atom/cycles/, and output with some warnings.
Some more complex examples,
# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -C0,11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: use 0 in 'cpu_core' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.
WARNING: use 11 in 'cpu_atom' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.

When the input is a regular file but the output is a pipe, it should
write a pipe header. But just repiping would write a portion of the
existing header which is different in 'size' value. So we need to
prevent it and write a new pipe header along with other information
like event attributes and features.
This can handle something like this:
# perf record -a -B sleep 1
# perf inject -b -i perf.data | perf report -i -
Factor out perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() to be shared between perf
record and inject.

The repipe argument is only used by perf inject and the all others
passes 'false'. Let's remove it from the function signature and add
__perf_session__new() to be called from perf inject directly.

To parse symbols the metadata records, e.g., PERF_RECORD_COMM, which are
generated by the kernel, are required.
To decide whether to generate the metadata records, the kernel relies on
the event_filter_match() to filter the unrelated events.
On a hybrid system, event_filter_match() further checks the CPU mask of
the current enabled PMU. If an event is collected on the CPU which
doesn't have an enabled PMU, it's treated as an unrelated event.
The "big_small_workload" is created in a big core, but runs on a small
core. The metadata records are filtered, because the user only monitors
the PMU of the small core. The big core PMU is not enabled.
For a hybrid system, a dummy event is required to generate the complete
side-band events.

I found that checking cgroup sampling support using the missing features
doesn't work on old kernels. Because it added both attr.cgroup bit and
PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit, it needs to check whichever comes first (usually
the actual event, not dummy).
But it only checks the attr.cgroup bit which is set only in the dummy
event so cannot detect failtures due the sample bits. Also we don't
ignore the missing feature and retry, it'd be better checking it with
the API probing logic.
Committer notes:
Extracted the minimal part to check using the new cgroup API probe
routine, the part that removes the cgroup member can be left for further
discussion.

AUX area data is not processed by 'perf record' and consequently the
--timestamp-boundary option may result in no values for "time of first
sample" and "time of last sample". However there are non-sample events
that can be used instead, namely 'itrace_start' and 'aux'.
'itrace_start' is issued before tracing starts, and 'aux' is issued
every time data is ready.
Implement tool callbacks for those two for 'perf record', to update the
timestamp boundary.
Example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u --timestamp-boundary uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script --header-only | grep "time of"
# time of first sample : 4574.835541
# time of last sample : 4574.835907
$ perf script --itrace=be -F-ip | head -1

aux-output events need to have an AUX area event as the group leader.
However, grouping events does not allow the AUX area event to be given
an address filter because the --filter option must come after the event,
which conflicts with the grouping syntax.
To allow filtering in that case, automatically create a group since that
is the requirement anyway.
Example: (requires Intel Tremont)
perf record -c 500 -e 'intel_pt//u' --filter 'filter main @ /bin/ls' -e 'cycles/aux-output/pp' ls

Commit da231338ec ("perf record: Use an eventfd to wakeup when
done") uses eventfd() to solve a rare race where the setting and
checking of 'done' which add done_fd to pollfd. When draining buffer,
revents of done_fd is 0 and evlist__filter_pollfd function returns a
non-zero value. As a result, perf record does not stop profiling.
The following simple scenarios can trigger this condition:
# sleep 10 &
# perf record -p $!
After the sleep process exits, perf record should stop profiling and exit.
However, perf record keeps running.
If pollfd revents contains only POLLERR or POLLHUP, perf record
indicates that buffer is draining and need to stop profiling. Use
fdarray_flag__nonfilterable() to set done eventfd to nonfilterable
objects, so that evlist__filter_pollfd() does not filter and check done
eventfd.

Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events.
When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf

The interface string for control file is:
evlist [-v|-g|-F]
The syntax follows perf evlist command:
-F Show just the sample frequency used for each event.
-v Show all fields.
-g Show event group information.
Example session:

# mkfifo control ack
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}'
terminal 2:
# echo evlist > control
terminal 1:
cycles
instructions
dummy:HG
terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -v' > control
terminal 1:

IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \
sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \

comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \
bpf_event: 1
terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -g' > control
terminal 1:
{cycles,instructions}
dummy:HG
terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -F' > control
terminal 1:
cycles: sample_freq=4000
instructions: sample_freq=4000
dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000
This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when
wildcards are used.
Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because
it's now evlist.c dependency.

Committer testing:
If I use 'sched:*' and then enable all events, I can't get 'perf record'
to react to further commands, so I tested it with:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Events enabled
Events disabled
And then it works as expected, so we need to fix this pre-existing
problem.
Another issue, we need to check if a event is already enabled or
disabled and change the message to be clearer, i.e.:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
If we receive a 'disable' command, then it should say:
[root@five ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Events already disabled

Add --buildid-mmap option to enable build id in PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events.
It will only work if there's kernel support for that and it disables
build id cache (implies --no-buildid).
It's also possible to enable it permanently via config option in
~/.perfconfig file:
[record]
build-id=mmap
Also added build_id bit in the verbose output for perf_event_attr:
# perf record --buildid-mmap -vv
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1
size 120
...
build_id 1
Adding also missing text_poke bit.
Committer testing:
$ perf record -h build
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

The root cause is, evlist__add_bpf_sb_event() just returns 0 if
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined (inline function path). So it will
not create a valid evsel for side-band event.
But perf-record still creates BPF side band thread to process the
side-band event, then the error happpens.
We can reproduce this issue by removing the libelf-dev. e.g.
1. apt-get remove libelf-dev
2. perf record -a -- sleep 1
root@test:~# ./perf record -a -- sleep 1
perf: Segmentation fault

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
To fix this issue,
1. We either install the missing libraries to let HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
be defined.
e.g. apt-get install libelf-dev and install other related libraries.
2. Use this patch to skip the side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
is not set.
Committer notes:
The side band thread is not used just with BPF, it is also used with
--switch-output-event, so narrow the ifdef to the BPF specific part.
Fixes: 23cbb41c93 ("perf record: Move side band evlist setup to separate routine")

Add a new CLOCK_DATA feature that stores reference times when
-k/--clockid option is specified.
It contains the clock id and its reference time together with wall clock
time taken at the 'same time', both values are in nanoseconds.
The format of data is as below:
struct {
u32 version; /* version = 1 */
u32 clockid;
u64 wall_clock_ns;
u64 clockid_time_ns;
};
This clock reference times will be used in following changes to display
wall clock for perf events.
It's available only for recording with clockid specified, because it's
the only case where we can get reference time to wallclock time. It's
can't do that with perf clock yet.

is not the first event. Adding another dummy tracking event causes
duplicated sideband events. Fix by checking for an existing dummy
tracking event first.
Example showing duplicated switch events:

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.
With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:
$ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....
One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

Context switch events are added automatically by Intel PT and Coresight.
Make it possible to suppress them. That is useful for tracing the
scheduler without the disturbance that the switch event processing
creates.
Example:
Prerequisites:
$ which perf
~/bin/perf
$ sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf
$ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore
Before:
$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.938 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
572
After:
$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
Warning:
Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing!

The setting and checking of 'done' contains a rare race where the signal
handler setting 'done' is run after checking to break the loop, but
before waiting in evlist__poll(). In this case, the main loop won't wake
up until either another signal is sent, or the perf data fd causes a
wake up.
The following simple script can trigger this condition (but you might
need to run it for several hours):
for ((i = 0; i >= 0; i++)) ; do
echo "Loop $i"
delay=$(echo "scale=4; 0.1 * $RANDOM/32768" | bc)
./perf record -- sleep 30000000 >/dev/null&
pid=$!
sleep $delay
kill -TERM $pid
echo "PID $pid"
wait $pid
done
At some point, the loop will stall. Adding logging, even though perf has
received the SIGTERM and set 'done = 1', perf will remain sleeping until
a second signal is sent.
Committer notes:
Make this dependent on HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT, so that we continue
building on older systems without the eventfd syscall.

During the processing of /proc during event synthesis new processes may
start. Add a dummy event if /proc is to be processed, to capture mmaps
for starting processes. This reuses the existing logic for
initial-delay.
v3 fixes the attr test of test-record-C0
v2 fixes the dummy event configuration and a branch stack issue.

To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which
is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming.
Mimic perf top way of handling the option.
If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before
this option.
On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't
slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has
some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with
>100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of
seconds and in this case having the option is desirable.
As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if
Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in
place:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/
shows:
...
- 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads
- 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread
+ 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events
+ 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0
+ 1.49% process_synthesized_event
+ 1.29% __GI___readdir64
+ 0.60% __opendir
...
That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to
make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch:

Average time per event 2.269 usec
Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1
thread to 2.269 usec with 8. This isn't a linear speed up as not all of
synthesize code has been made parallel. If the synthesis time was about
10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.

Use struct mmap_cpu_mask type for the tool's thread and mmap data
buffers to overcome current 1024 CPUs mask size limitation of cpu_set_t
type.
Currently glibc's cpu_set_t type has an internal mask size limit of 1024
CPUs.
Moving to the 'struct mmap_cpu_mask' type allows overcoming that limit.
The tools bitmap API is used to manipulate objects of 'struct mmap_cpu_mask'
type.
Committer notes:
To print the 'nbits' struct member we must use %zd, since it is a
size_t, this fixes the build in some toolchains/arches.

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.
This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.
We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.
It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.
Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs:

At the end of a 'perf record' session, by default, we'll process all
samples and populate the threads, maps, etc so as to find out which of
the DSOs got samples, to reduce the size of the build-id table we'll
add to the perf.data headers.
But we don't need to process the PERF_RECORD_MMAP events synthesized
for the kernel modules, as we have those already via
perf_session__create_kernel_maps(), so add mmap/mmap2 handlers that
first look at event->header.misc to see if the event is for a user map,
bailing out if not.

The patch adds a new option to limit the output file size, then based on
it, we can create a wrapper of the perf command that uses the option to
avoid exhausting the disk space by the unconscious user.
In order to make the perf.data parsable, we just limit the sample data
size, since the perf.data consists of many headers and sample data and
other data, the actual size of the recorded file will bigger than the
setting value.
Testing it:
# ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10M

Support directory output that contains a regular perf.data file, named
"data". By default the directory is named perf.data i.e.
perf.data
└── data
Most of the infrastructure to support a directory is already there. This
patch makes the changes needed to support the format above.
Presently there is no 'perf record' option to output a directory.
This is preparation for adding support for putting a copy of /proc/kcore in
the directory.

Move perf_mmap__put() from tools/perf to libperf.
Once perf_mmap__put() is moved, we need a way to call application
related unmap code (AIO and aux related code for eprf), when the map
goes away.
Add the perf_mmap::unmap callback to do that.
The unmap path from perf is:
perf_mmap__put (libperf)
perf_mmap__munmap (libperf)
map->unmap_cb -> perf_mmap__unmap_cb (perf)
mmap__munmap (perf)
Committer notes:
Add missing linux/kernel.h to tools/perf/lib/mmap.c to get the BUG_ON
definition.

As this isn't used at all in mmap.h but in evlist.h, so to cut down the
header dependency tree, move it to where it is used.
Also add mmap.h to the places using it but previously getting it
indirectly via evlist.h.
Add missing pthread.h to evlist.h, as it has a pthread_t struct member
and was getting the header via mmap.h.
Noticed while processing a Jiri's libperf batch touching mmap.h, where
almost everything gets rebuilt because evlist.h is so popular, so cut
down't this rebuild the world party.

Committer notes:
Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,
session), i.e. we need to pass zero in case of failure, which was the
case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.

I've been using a wrapper script around the workload that would do a
killall -USR2 perf when the workload exits.
This patch makes it easier and also works when perf record is attached
to a pre-existing task. A new snapshot option 'e' can be specified in
-S to enable this behavior:
