perf creates a single 'struct thread' to represent the idle task. That
is because threads are identified by PID and TID, and the idle task
always has PID == TID == 0.

However, there are actually separate idle tasks for each CPU. That
creates a problem for thread stack processing which assumes that each
thread has a single stack, not one stack per CPU.

Fix that by passing through the CPU number, and in the case of the idle
"thread", pick the thread stack from an array based on the CPU number.

<title>perf script: Fix LBR skid dump problems in brstackinsn</title>

This is a fix for another instance of the skid problem Milian recently
found [1]

The LBRs don't freeze at the exact same time as the PMI is triggered.
The perf script brstackinsn code that dumps LBR assembler assumes that
the last branch in the LBR leads to the sample point.  But with skid
it's possible that the CPU executes one or more branches before the
sample, but which do not appear in the LBR.

What happens then is either that the sample point is before the last LBR
branch. In this case the dumper sees a negative length and ignores it.
Or it the sample point is long after the last branch. Then the dumper
sees a very long block and dumps it upto its block limit (16k bytes),
which is noise in the output.

On typical sample session this can happen regularly.

This patch tries to detect and handle the situation. On the last block
that is dumped by the LBR dumper we always stop on the first branch. If
the block length is negative just scan forward to the first branch.
Otherwise scan until a branch is found.

The PT decoder already has a function that uses the instruction decoder
to detect branches, so we can just reuse it here.

Then when a terminating branch is found print an indication and stop
dumping. This might miss a few instructions, but at least shows no
runaway blocks.

Branch stacks do not necessarily have the same cpumode as the 'ip'. Use
the fallback functions in those cases.

This patch depends on patch "perf tools: Add fallback functions for cases
where cpumode is insufficient".

<title>perf script: Share code and output format for uregs and iregs output</title>

The iregs output was missing the newline at end as well as the leading
ABI output. This made it hard to compare the iregs and uregs values.
Instead, use a single function to output the register values and use it
for both, iregs and uregs, to ensure the output is consistent.

The iregs output was missing the newline at end as well as the leading
ABI output. This made it hard to compare the iregs and uregs values.
Instead, use a single function to output the register values and use it
for both, iregs and uregs, to ensure the output is consistent.

This change makes it much easier to easily distinguish between
consecutive samples by keeping the empty line between them, like we see
when we do not enable uregs output.

For 'perf script' brstackinsn also print a running cycles count.  This
makes it easier to calculate cycle deltas for code sections measured
with LBRs.

For 'perf script' brstackinsn also print a running cycles count.  This
makes it easier to calculate cycle deltas for code sections measured
with LBRs.

% perf record -b -a sleep 1
% perf script -F +brstackinsn

Add a ftrace style --graph-function argument to 'perf script' that
allows to print itrace function calls only below a given function. This
makes it easier to find the code of interest in a large trace.

Add short cut options to print PT call trace and call-ret-trace, for
calls and call and returns. Roughly corresponds to ftrace function
tracer and function graph tracer.

Just makes these common use cases nicer to use.

Add short cut options to print PT call trace and call-ret-trace, for
calls and call and returns. Roughly corresponds to ftrace function
tracer and function graph tracer.

Just makes these common use cases nicer to use.

<title>perf script: Make itrace script default to all calls</title>

By default 'perf script' for itrace outputs sampled instructions or
branches. In my experience this is confusing to users because it's hard
to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for
tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time,
but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'.  It's better
to give an accurate representation of the program flow.

Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner
default. The old behavior can be still requested with 'perf script'
--itrace=ibxwpe100000

v2: Fix ETM build failure
v3: Really fix ETM build failure (Kim Phillips)
