Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:

BPF:

  Song Liu:

  - Add support for annotating BPF programs, using the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
    and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL recently added to the kernel and plugging
    binutils's libopcodes disassembly of BPF programs with the existing
    annotation interfaces in 'perf annotate', 'perf report' and 'perf top'
    various output formats (--stdio, --stdio2, --tui).

perf list:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Filter metrics when using substring search.

perf record:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Allow to limit number of reported perf.data files

  - Clarify help for --switch-output.

perf report:

  Andi Kleen

  - Indicate JITed code better.

  - Show all sort keys in help output.

perf script:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Support relative time.

perf stat:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Improve scaling.

General:

  Changbin Du:

  - Fix some mostly error path memory and reference count leaks found
    using gcc's ASan and UBSan.

Vendor events:

  Mamatha Inamdar:

  - Remove P8 HW events which are not supported.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:

kernel:

  Stephane Eranian :

  - Restore mmap record type correctly when handling PERF_RECORD_MMAP2
    events, as the same template is used for all the threads interested
    in mmap events, some may want just PERF_RECORD_MMAP, while some
    may want the extra info in MMAP2 records.

perf probe:

  Adrian Hunter:

  - Fix getting the kernel map, because since changes related to x86 PTI
    entry trampolines handling, there are more than one kernel map.

perf script:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Support insn output for normal samples, i.e.:

    perf script -F ip,sym,insn --xed

    Will fetch the sample IP from the thread address space and feed it
    to Intel's XED disassembler, producing lines such as:

      ffffffffa4068804 native_write_msr            wrmsr
      ffffffffa415b95e __hrtimer_next_event_base   movq  0x18(%rax), %rdx

    That match 'perf annotate's output.

  - Make the --cpu filter apply to  PERF_RECORD_COMM/FORK/... events, in
    addition to PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE.

perf report:

  - Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples
    per hist entry, using a reservoir technique to select a representative
    number of samples.

    Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
    entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
    the thread or CPU of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
    functionality to directly jump to the time stamp of the selected sample.

    It uses different menus for assembler and source display.  Assembler
    needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.

  - Fix the UI browser scripts pop up menu when there are many scripts
    available.

perf report:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Add 'time' sort option. E.g.:

    % perf report --sort time,overhead,symbol --time-quantum 1ms --stdio
    ...
         0.67%  277061.87300  [.] _dl_start

tools headers:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Update x86's syscall_64.tbl, no change in tools/perf behaviour.

  -  Sync copies asm-generic/unistd.h and linux/in with the kernel sources.

perf data:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Prep work to support having perf.data stored as a directory, with one
    file per CPU, that ultimately will allow having one ring buffer reading
    thread per CPU.

Vendor events:

  Martin Liška:

  - perf PMU events for AMD Family 17h.

perf script python:

  Tony Jones:

  - Add python3 support for the remaining Intel PT related scripts, with
    these we should have a clean build of perf with python3 while still
    supporting the build with python2.

libbpf:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Fix the build on uCLibc, adding the missing stdarg.h since we use
    va_list in one typedef.

<title>tools lib bpf: Introduce bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear()</title>
<updated>2019-03-19T19:52:06+00:00</updated>
<author>

<id>34be16466d4dc06f3d604dafbcdb3327b72e78da</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, bpf_prog_info includes 9 arrays. The user has the option to
fetch any combination of these arrays. However, this requires a lot of
handling.

This work becomes more tricky when we need to store bpf_prog_info to a
file, because these arrays are allocated independently.

This patch introduces 'struct bpf_prog_info_linear', which stores arrays
of bpf_prog_info in continuous memory.

Helper functions are introduced to unify the work to get different sets
of bpf_prog_info.  Specifically, bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear()
allows the user to select which arrays to fetch, and handles details for
the user.

Please see the comments right before 'enum bpf_prog_info_array' for more
details and examples.

The libbpf_print_fn_t typedef uses va_list without including the header
where that type is defined, stdarg.h, breaking in places where we're
unlucky for that type not to be already defined by some previously
included header.

The libbpf_print_fn_t typedef uses va_list without including the header
where that type is defined, stdarg.h, breaking in places where we're
unlucky for that type not to be already defined by some previously
included header.

Noticed while building on fedora 24 cross building tools/perf to the ARC
architecture using the uClibc C library:

We could end up in situation when we have object file w/ all btf
info, but kernel does not support btf yet. In this situation
currently libbpf just set obj-&gt;btf to NULL w/o freeing it first.
This patch is fixing it by making sure to run btf__free first.

<title>libbpf: force fixdep compilation at the start of the build</title>

libbpf targets don't explicitly depend on fixdep target, so when
we do 'make -j$(nproc)', there is a high probability, that some
objects will be built before fixdep binary is available.

Fix this by running sub-make; this makes sure that fixdep dependency
is properly accounted for.

For the same issue in perf, see commit abb26210a395 ("perf tools: Force
fixdep compilation at the start of the build").

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of tooling updates - too many to list, here's a few highlights:

   - Various subcommand updates to 'perf trace', 'perf report', 'perf
     record', 'perf annotate', 'perf script', 'perf test', etc.

   - CPU and NUMA topology and affinity handling improvements,

   - HW tracing and HW support updates:
      - Intel PT updates
      - ARM CoreSight updates
      - vendor HW event updates

   - BPF updates

   - Tons of infrastructure updates, both on the build system and the
     library support side

   - Documentation updates.

   - ... and lots of other changes, see the changelog for details.

  Kernel side updates:

   - Tighten up kprobes blacklist handling, reduce the number of places
     where developers can install a kprobe and hang/crash the system.

   - Fix/enhance vma address filter handling.

   - Various PMU driver updates, small fixes and additions.

   - refcount_t conversions

   - BPF updates

   - error code propagation enhancements

   - misc other changes"
