perf annotate: Fix parsing aarch64 branch instructions after objdump update

2018-10-10T06:55:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4e67b2a5df5d3f341776d12ee575e00ca3ef92de ]

Starting with binutils 2.28, aarch64 objdump adds comments to the
disassembly output to show the alternative names of a condition code
[1].

It is assumed that commas in objdump comments could occur in other
arches now or in the future, so this fix is arch-independent.

The fix could have been done with arm64 specific jump__parse and
jump__scnprintf functions, but the jump__scnprintf instruction would
have to have its comment character be a literal, since the scnprintf
functions cannot receive a struct arch easily.

This inconvenience also applies to the generic jump__scnprintf, which is
why we add a raw_comment pointer to struct ins_operands, so the __parse
function assigns it to be re-used by its corresponding __scnprintf
function.

Example differences in 'perf annotate --stdio2' output on an aarch64
perf.data file:

BEFORE: → b.cs   ffff200008133d1c   // b.hs, dffff7ecc47b
AFTER : ↓ b.cs   18c

BEFORE: → b.cc   ffff200008d8d9cc   // b.lo, b.ul, dffff727295b
AFTER : ↓ b.cc   31c

The branch target labels 18c and 31c also now appear in the output:

BEFORE:        add    x26, x29, #0x80
AFTER : 18c:   add    x26, x29, #0x80

BEFORE:        add    x21, x21, #0x8
AFTER : 31c:   add    x21, x21, #0x8

The Fixes: tag below is added so stable branches will get the update; it
doesn't necessarily mean that commit was broken at the time, rather it
didn't withstand the aarch64 objdump update.

Tested no difference in output for sample x86_64, power arch perf.data files.

perf annotate: Pass annotation_options to symbol__annotate()

2018-06-04T13:28:53+00:00

Now all callers to symbol__disassemble() can hand it the per-tool
annotation_options, which will allow us to remove lots of stuff
from symbol_options, the kitchen sink of perf configs, reducing its
size and getting annotation specific stuff grouped together.

Accross all the routines, this way we can have eventually have a

perf annotate: Add comment about annotated_src->nr_histograms

2018-06-04T13:28:52+00:00

When we have multiple groups in an evlist, say:

  $ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions},{cache-references,cache-misses}' sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

           343,134      cycles:u
           249,292      instructions:u            #    0.73  insn per cycle
            15,556      cache-references:u
             8,925      cache-misses:u            #   57.373 % of all cache refs

       1.000957550 seconds time elapsed

  $

Then the perf_evsel instances for the two group leaders ("cycles" and
"cache-references") will have evsel->nr_members set to 2, while all the
evsel->evlist->nr_entries will be set to 4, so we can't use
evsel->evlist->nr_entries everywhere, as event groups need to be taken
into account.

But this probably requires us to audit at least the forced-group code,
where we want all of the events to be in a "group", to see them all in
the screen, one column for each, even knowing that they were not
necessarily scheduled to count at the same time by the kernel perf
subsystem.

It only operates on the histograms, so no need for the encompassing
