Finish the -M/--multiplex option implementation:
- separate it out from group_fd
- correctly set it via the ioctl and dont mmap counters that
are multiplexed
- modify the perf record event loop to deal with buffer-less
counters.
- remove the -g option from perf sched record
- account for unordered events in perf sched latency
- (add -f to perf sched record to ease measurements)
- skip idle threads (pid==0) in latency output
The result is better latency output by 'perf sched latency':

Currently it's possible to meet such too high latency results
with 'perf sched latency'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Task | Runtime ms | Switches | Average delay ms | Maximum delay ms |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
xfce4-panel | 0.222 ms | 2 | avg: 4718.345 ms | max: 9436.493 ms |
scsi_eh_3 | 3.962 ms | 36 | avg: 55.957 ms | max: 1977.829 ms |
The origin is on traces that are sometimes badly serialized across cpus.
For example the raw traces that raised such results for xfce4-panel:
(1) [init]-0 [000] 1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
(2) xfce4-panel-4569 [000] 1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140]
(3) Xorg-4276 [001] 1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(4) Xorg-4276 [001] 1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(5) perf-5219 [000] 1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
The traces are processed in the order they arrive. Then in (2),
xfce4-panel sleeps, it is first waken up in (3) and eventually
scheduled in (5).
The latency reported is then 1504 - 1495 = 9 secs, as reported by perf
sched. But this is wrong, we are confident in the fact the traces are
nicely serialized while we should actually more trust the timestamps.
If we reorder by timestamps we get:
(1) Xorg-4276 [001] 1494.663860125: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(2) [init]-0 [000] 1494.663899990: sched_switch: task swapper:0 [140] (R) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
(3) xfce4-panel-4569 [000] 1494.663928373: sched_switch: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] (S) ==> swapper:0 [140]
(4) Xorg-4276 [001] 1504.098252756: sched_wakeup: task xfce4-panel:4569 [120] success=1 [000]
(5) perf-5219 [000] 1504.100353302: sched_switch: task perf:5219 [120] (S) ==> xfce4-panel:4569 [120]
Now the trace make more sense, xfce4-panel is sleeping. Then it is
woken up in (1), scheduled in (2)
It goes to sleep in (3), woken up in (4) and scheduled in (5).
Now, latency captured between (1) and (2) is of 39 us.
And between (4) and (5) it is 2.1 ms.
Such pattern of bad serializing is the origin of the high latencies
reported by perf sched.
Basically, we need to check whether wake up time is higher than
schedule out time. If it's not the case, we need to tag the current
work atom as invalid.
Beside that, we may need to work later on a better ordering of the
traces given by the kernel.

Add an option to multiplex counters output in the channel of
the group leader, ie: the first counter opened:
-M --multiplex
The effect is better serialized samples. This is especially
useful for tracepoint samples that need to be well serialized
for their post-processing.
Also make use of this option in 'perf sched'.

Implement the 'perf sched record' subcommand that adds a
default list of events, turns on raw sampling and system-wide
tracing and passes off the rest of the command to perf record.
This is more convenient than having to specify the events all
the time.
Before:
$ perf record -a -R -e sched:sched_switch:r -e sched:sched_stat_wait:r -e sched:sched_stat_sleep:r -e sched:sched_stat_iowait:r -e sched:sched_process_exit:r -e sched:sched_process_fork:r -e sched:sched_wakeup:r -e sched:sched_migrate_task:r -c 1 sleep 1
After:
$ perf sched record -f sleep 1

that strings passed in can be modified. (In this case they wont
be as they come from a readonly constant section.)

To measures the latencies, we capture the sched atoms data into
a specific structure named struct lat_snapshot.
As this structure can be used for other purposes of scheduler
profiling and mirrors what happens in a thread work atom, lets
rename it to struct work_atom and propagate this renaming in
other functions and structures names to keep it coherent.

perf sched raises the following error when it meets a sched
switch event:
perf: builtin-sched.c:286: register_pid: Assertion `!(pid >= 65536)' failed.
Abandon
Currently in x86-64, the sched switch events have a hole in the
middle of the structure:
u16 common_type;
u8 common_flags;
u8 common_preempt_count;
u32 common_pid;
u32 common_tgid;
char prev_comm[16];
u32 prev_pid;
u32 prev_prio;
<--- there
u64 prev_state;
char next_comm[16];
u32 next_pid;
u32 next_prio;
Gcc inserts a 4 bytes hole there for prev_state to be u64
aligned. And the events are exported to userspace with this
hole.
But in userspace, from perf sched, we fetch it using a
structure that has a new field in the beginning: u32 size. This
is because our trace is exported with its size as a field. But
now that we have this new field, the hole in the middle
disappears because it makes prev_state becoming well aligned.
And since we are using a pointer to the raw trace using this
struct, instead of reading prev_state, we are reading the hole.
We could fix it by keeping the size seperate from the struct
but actually there a lot of other potential problems: some
fields may be saved as long in a 64 bits system and later read
as long in a 32 bits system. Also this direct cast doesn't care
about the endianness differences between the host traced
machine and the machine in which we do the post processing.
So instead of using such dangerous direct casts, fetch the
values using the trace parsing API that already takes care of
all these problems.

This patch improves some (common) inefficiencies in the
handling of directory lookups:
- not using the d_type information returned by the kernel
- constructing (absolute) paths for file operation even though
directory-relative operations using the *at functions is
possible
There are more places to fix but this is a start.

When we're computing the mean by sampling the distribution,
then the std dev of the mean is related to the std dev of the
sample set by:
stddev_mean = std_dev / sqrt(N)
Which is exactly what we want.
This results in the error on the mean decreasing with
increasing number of samples.
Also fix the scaled == -1, aka not counted case.

The current noise computation does:
\Sum abs(n_i - avg(n)) * N^-1.5
Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the
complete sample set available to post-process.
Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be
done by keeping a two sums:
stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 )
For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.

In perf tools, we hardcode the pid 0 cmdline resolving to
"idle" because the init task is not included in the COMM
events.
But the idle tasks secondary cpus are resolved into their
"init" name through the COMM events.
We have then such strange result in perf report (ditto with
trace):
19.66% init [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1
17.32% [idle] [kernel] [k] acpi_idle_enter_c1
It's then better to unify the swapper tasks into a single init
name.

The cmd-trace tool used the cmdline file and resolved the idle
thread using a hardcoded check for the 0 task pid.
Now we have a centralized way to do that from perf using
register_idle_thread() API.

thread__insert_map() had its most uptodate version in perf
report which cared about partial map overlapping. In case of

The ftrace event format parser handles the usual casts but not

This is because it considers the "*" character as a binary

- using the -R option (every counters get PERF_SAMPLE_RAW)
- using the :record suffix in a trace event counter name

is coming with perf trace. Then factorize it into the debug

While at it, rename dprintf() to dump_printf() so that it

The soon coming perf trace needs to use printf with dynamically
built formats.
But we are using -Wformat=2 which is a shortcut for the
following set: -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k
-Wformat-nonliteral
-Wformat-nonliteral warns when it can't check formats because
they are not builtin constant strings, but we want to feature
dynamic formats. What we want instead is Wformat=2 minus
-Wformat-nonliteral, which is what this patch does.

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.
So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:
-Wcast-align
-Wformat=2
-Wshadow
-Winit-self
-Wpacked
-Wredundant-decls
-Wstack-protector
-Wstrict-aliasing=3
-Wswitch-default
-Wswitch-enum
-Wno-system-headers
-Wundef
-Wvolatile-register-var
-Wwrite-strings
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs
-Wold-style-definition
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wdeclaration-after-statement
And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.
The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.
I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.
If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)
I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.
I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.
[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter:
-e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags
This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the
r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r
will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for
the given tracepoint counter.
In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated
by commas.

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.
Say you launched:
perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
perf report -g fractal,10.0
And you got:
2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
|
|--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
| poll_freewait
| do_sys_poll
| sys_poll
| sysenter_dispatch
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0x1ffadea3c
|
|--7.14%-- __up_read
| up_read
| do_page_fault
| page_fault
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0xa0df710000000a
...
It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.
The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:
limit = 4 * 0.9;
The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%
We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

recorded via perf record -s. Previously we only displayed
it in debug printouts (-D) and even that output was hard
to disambiguate.
I moved everything to utils/values.[ch] so that we may reuse
it in perf stat.
We get something like this now:

4658 4662 498246 3236823
4658 4663 499531 3243162
Then it'll be easy to add --pretty=raw to display a single line per thread/event.
By the way, -S was also used for --symbol... So I used -T/--thread here.
