Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation
expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.
This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the
event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"
v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
Support multiple free variables for parser
Committer note:
The v2 patch had:
%define api.pure full
In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant
parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop
building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi
realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:
%pure-parser
Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.
I added:
CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w
To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o,
another parser.

Implement printing instruction sequences as hex dump for branch stacks.
This relies on the x86 instruction decoder used by the PT decoder to
find the lengths of instructions to dump them individually.
This is good enough for pattern matching.
This allows to study hot paths for individual samples, together with
branch misprediction and cycle count / IPC information if available (on
Skylake systems).
% perf record -b ...
% perf script -F brstackinsn
...
read_hpet+67:
ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED
ffffffff9905b82f insn: 85 c9
ffffffff9905b831 insn: 74 12

ffffffff9905b83f insn: 39 f2
ffffffff9905b841 insn: 89 d0
ffffffff9905b843 insn: 74 ea # PRED
Only works when no special branch filters are specified.
Occasionally the path does not reach up to the sample IP, as the LBRs
may be frozen before executing a final jump. In this case we print a
special message.
The instruction dumper piggy backs on the existing infrastructure from
the IP PT decoder.
An earlier iteration of this patch relied on a disassembler, but this
version only uses the existing instruction decoder.

The use_browser and perf_version_string variables are both declared in
perf.c but they are also referenced by other functions of libperf.a.
Therefore a user linking an own main() with libperf.a must declare those
two variables in their files even if the files never use the browser or
the version information.
This patch fixes this issue by moving use_browser and
perf_version_string out of perf.c to some other files.

first testcase checks if builtin clang is able to generate LLVM IR.
tests/clang.c is a proxy. Real testcase resides in
utils/c++/clang-test.cpp in c++ and exports C interface to perf test
subsystem.
Test result:
$ perf test -v clang

Committer note:
Make sure you've enabled CLANG and LLVM builtin support by setting
the LIBCLANGLLVM variable on the make command line, e.g.:
make LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
Otherwise you'll get this when trying to do the 'perf test' call above:

Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for
manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this
patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end.
To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into
'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report
an error to help debugging.
A test case for perf hook is introduced.
Test result:
$ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook

This patch modifies the build dependencies on the jitdump support in
perf. As it stands jitdump was wrongfully made dependent 100% on using
DWARF. However, the dwarf dependency, only exist if generating the
source line table in genelf_debug.c. The rest of the support does not
need DWARF.
This patch removes the dependency on DWARF for the entire jitdump
support. It keeps it only for the genelf_debug.c support.

I wanted to know the hottest path through a function and figured the
branch-stack (LBR) information should be able to help out with that.
The below uses the branch-stack to create basic blocks and generate
statistics from them.
from to branch_i
* ----> *
|
| block
v
* ----> *
from to branch_i+1
The blocks are broken down into non-overlapping ranges, while tracking
if the start of each range is an entry point and/or the end of a range
is a branch.
Each block iterates all ranges it covers (while splitting where required
to exactly match the block) and increments the 'coverage' count.
For the range including the branch we increment the taken counter, as
well as the pred counter if flags.predicted.
Using these number we can find if an instruction:
- had coverage; given by:
br->coverage / br->sym->max_coverage
This metric ensures each symbol has a 100% spot, which reflects the
observation that each symbol must have a most covered/hottest
block.
- is a branch target: br->is_target && br->start == add
- for targets, how much of a branch's coverages comes from it:
target->entry / branch->coverage
- is a branch: br->is_branch && br->end == addr
- for branches, how often it was taken:
br->taken / br->coverage
after all, all execution that didn't take the branch would have
incremented the coverage and continued onward to a later branch.
- for branches, how often it was predicted:
br->pred / br->taken
The coverage percentage is used to color the address and asm sections;
for low (<1%) coverage we use NORMAL (uncolored), indicating that these
instructions are not 'important'. For high coverage (>75%) we color the
address RED.
For each branch, we add an asm comment after the instruction with
information on how often it was taken and predicted.
Output looks like (sans color, which does loose a lot of the
information :/)

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and
thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of
thread-stack to create call paths.
Summary:
- Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build.
- Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h
and into call-path.c and call-path.h.
- A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through
call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to
compile.
This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set
and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that
imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit
to get those new syscalls on its tables.
To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those
tables.
Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:
# trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
Error: Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd
Hint: try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
Hint: and: 'man syscalls'

This patch adds source line information support to perf for jitted code.
The source line info must be emitted by the runtime, such as JVMTI.
Perf injects extract the source line info from the jitdump file and adds
the corresponding .debug_lines section in the ELF image generated for
each jitted function.
The source line enables matching any address in the profile with a
source file and line number.
The improvement is visible in perf annotate with the source code
displayed alongside the assembly code.
The dwarf code leverages the support from OProfile which is also
released under GPLv2. Copyright 2007 OProfile authors.

This patch adds a --jit/-j option to perf inject.
This options injects MMAP records into the perf.data file to cover the
jitted code mmaps. It also emits ELF images for each function in the
jidump file. Those images are created where the jitdump file is. The
MMAP records point to that location as well.
Typical flow:
$ perf record -k mono -- java -agentpath:libpjvmti.so java_class
$ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted
$ perf report -i perf.data.jitted
Note that jitdump.h support is not limited to Java, it works with any
jitted environment modified to emit the jitdump file format, include
those where code can be jitted multiple times and moved around.
The jitdump.h format is adapted from the Oprofile project.
The genelf.c (ELF binary generation) depends on MD5 hash encoding for
the buildid. To enable this, libssl-dev must be installed. If not, then
genelf.c defaults to using urandom to generate the buildid, which is not
ideal. The Makefile auto-detects the presence on libssl-dev.
This version mmaps the jitdump file to create a marker MMAP record in
the perf.data file. The marker is used to detect jitdump and cause perf
inject to inject the jitted mmaps and generate ELF images for jitted
functions.
In V8, the following fixes and changes were made among other things:
- the jidump header format include a new flags field to be used
to carry information about the configuration of the runtime agent.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>
- Fix mmap pgoff: MMAP event pgoff must be the offset within the ELF file
at which the code resides.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>
- Fix ELF virtual addresses: perf tools expect the ELF virtual addresses of dynamic
objects to match the file offset.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>
- JIT MMAP injection does not obey finished_round semantics. JIT MMAP injection injects all
MMAP events in one go, so it does not obey finished_round semantics, so drop the
finished_round events from the output perf.data file.

This patch generates a prologue for a BPF program which fetches arguments for
it. With this patch, the program can have arguments as follow:
SEC("lock_page=__lock_page page->flags")
int lock_page(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
{
return 1;
}
This patch passes at most 3 arguments from r3, r4 and r5. r1 is still the ctx
pointer. r2 is used to indicate if dereferencing was done successfully.
This patch uses r6 to hold ctx (struct pt_regs) and r7 to hold stack pointer
for result. Result of each arguments first store on stack:
low address
BPF_REG_FP - 24 ARG3
BPF_REG_FP - 16 ARG2
BPF_REG_FP - 8 ARG1
BPF_REG_FP
high address
Then loaded into r3, r4 and r5.
The output prologue for offn(...off2(off1(reg)))) should be:
r6 <- r1 // save ctx into a callee saved register
r7 <- fp
r7 <- r7 - stack_offset // pointer to result slot
/* load r3 with the offset in pt_regs of 'reg' */
(r7) <- r3 // make slot valid
r3 <- r3 + off1 // prepare to read unsafe pointer
r2 <- 8
r1 <- r7 // result put onto stack
call probe_read // read unsafe pointer
jnei r0, 0, err // error checking
r3 <- (r7) // read result
r3 <- r3 + off2 // prepare to read unsafe pointer
r2 <- 8
r1 <- r7
call probe_read
jnei r0, 0, err
...
/* load r2, r3, r4 from stack */
goto success
err:
r2 <- 1
/* load r3, r4, r5 with 0 */
goto usercode
success:
r2 <- 0
usercode:
r1 <- r6 // restore ctx
// original user code
If all of arguments reside in register (dereferencing is not
required), gen_prologue_fastpath() will be used to create
fast prologue:
r3 <- (r1 + offset of reg1)
r4 <- (r1 + offset of reg2)
r5 <- (r1 + offset of reg3)
r2 <- 0
P.S.
eBPF calling convention is defined as:
* r0 - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value
for eBPF program
* r1 - r5 - arguments from eBPF program to in-kernel function
* r6 - r9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will
preserve
* r10 - read-only frame pointer to access stack
Committer note:
At least testing if it builds and loads:
# cat test_probe_arg.c
struct pt_regs;
__attribute__((section("lock_page=__lock_page page->flags"), used))
int func(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
{
return 1;
}
char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;

That will contain more string functions with counterparts, sometimes

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:
Using it:
$ ls -la foo.o
ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory
$ perf record --event foo.o sleep
libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory
event syntax error: 'foo.o'
\___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid
(add -v to see detail)
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
$
$ file /tmp/build/perf/perf.o
/tmp/build/perf/perf.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
$ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep
libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file
event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o'
\___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid
(add -v to see detail)
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
$
$ file /tmp/foo.o
/tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
$ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
$ perf evlist
/tmp/foo.o
$ perf evlist -v
/tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok.
$ perf report --stdio
Error:
The perf.data file has no samples!

The perf_regs.c file does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS
is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get
picked up.
Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition
error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version
in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that
function.
