perf intel-pt: Add decoder support for PEBS via PT

2019-06-17T18:57:17+00:00

PEBS data is encoded in Block Item Packets (BIP). Populate a new structure
intel_pt_blk_items with the values and, upon a Block End Packet (BEP),
report them as a new Intel PT sample type INTEL_PT_BLK_ITEMS.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

perf record:

  Alexey Budankov:

  - Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf, making sure that
    the minimal set of registers for DWARF unwinding is present in the
    set of user registers requested to be present in each sample, while
    warning the user that this may make callchains unreliable if more
    that the minimal set of registers is needed to unwind.

  yuzhoujian:

  - Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only,
    IOW allow setting the perf_event_attr.exclude_callchain_{kernel,user}
    bits from the command line.

perf trace:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Remove x86_64 specific syscall numbers from the augmented_raw_syscalls
    BPF in-kernel collector of augmented raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
    payloads, use instead the syscall numbers obtainer either by the
    arch specific syscalltbl generators or from audit-libs.

  - Allow 'perf trace' to ask for the number of bytes to collect for
    string arguments, for now ask for PATH_MAX, i.e. the whole
    pathnames, which ends up being just a way to speficy which syscall
    args are pathnames and thus should be read using bpf_probe_read_str().

  - Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups.
    This helps using the 'string' group of syscalls to work in arm64,
    where some of the syscalls present in x86_64 that deal with
    strings, for instance 'access', are deprecated and this should not
    be asked for tracing.

  Leo Yan:

  - Exit when failing to build eBPF program.

perf config:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This
    helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a
    matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance
    building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf
    trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c.

perf.data:

  Kan Liang:

  - Read and store die ID information available in new Intel processors
    in CPUID.1F in the CPU topology written in the perf.data header.

perf stat:

  Kan Liang:

  - Support per-die aggregation.

Documentation:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - Update perf.data documentation about the CPU_TOPOLOGY, MEM_TOPOLOGY,
    CLOCKID and DIR_FORMAT headers.

  Song Liu:

  - Add description of headers HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO and HEADER_BPF_BTF.

  Leo Yan:

  - Update default value for llvm.clang-bpf-cmd-template in 'man perf-config'.

JVMTI:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Address gcc string overflow warning for strncpy()

core:

  - Remove superfluous nthreads system_wide setup in perf_evsel__alloc_fd().

Intel PT:

  Adrian Hunter:

  - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
    information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because
    Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction,
    the incremental values will often be zero.  When there are values, they
    will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last
    update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.

    E.g.:

    # perf record --cpu 1 -m200000 -a -e intel_pt/cyc/u sleep 0.0001
    rounding mmap pages size to 1024M (262144 pages)
    [ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data ]

perf intel-pt: Add intel_pt_fast_forward()

2019-06-10T19:20:12+00:00

Intel PT decoding is done in time order. In order to support efficient time
interval filtering, add a facility to "fast forward" towards a particular
timestamp. That involves finding the right buffer, stepping to that buffer,
and then stepping forward PSBs. Because decoding must begin at a PSB,
"fast forward" stops at the last PSB that has a timestamp before the target
timestamp.

perf intel-pt: Add lookahead callback

2019-06-10T19:20:12+00:00

Add a callback function to enable the decoder to lookahead at subsequent
trace buffers. This will be used to implement a "fast forward" facility
which will be needed to support efficient time interval filtering.

perf intel-pt: Accumulate cycle count from CYC packets

2019-06-05T12:47:54+00:00

In preparation for providing instructions-per-cycle (IPC) information,
accumulate cycle count from CYC packets.

Although CYC packets are optional (requires config term 'cyc' to enable
cycle-accurate mode when recording), the simplest way to count cycles is
with CYC packets.

The first complication is that cycles must be counted only when also
counting instructions.

That means when control flow packet generation is enabled i.e. between
TIP.PGE and TIP.PGD packets.

Also, sampling the cycle count follows the same rules as sampling the
timestamp, that is, not before the instruction to which the decoder is
walking is reached.

In addition, the cycle count is not accurate for any but the first
branch of a TNT packet.

perf intel-pt: Add decoder flags for trace begin / end

2018-09-20T18:19:51+00:00

Previously, the decoder would indicate begin / end by a branch from / to
zero. That hides useful information, in particular when a trace ends
with a call. To prepare for remedying that, add Intel PT decoder flags
for trace begin / end and map them to the existing sample flags.

perf intel-pt: Fix "Unexpected indirect branch" error

2018-06-06T15:52:08+00:00

Some Atom CPUs can produce FUP packets that contain NLIP (next linear
instruction pointer) instead of CLIP (current linear instruction
pointer).  That will result in "Unexpected indirect branch" errors. Fix
by comparing IP to NLIP in that case.

perf intel-pt: Fix overlap detection to identify consecutive buffers correctly

2018-03-08T13:05:54+00:00

Overlap detection was not not updating the buffer's 'consecutive' flag.
Marking buffers consecutive has the advantage that decoding begins from
the start of the buffer instead of the first PSB. Fix overlap detection
to identify consecutive buffers correctly.
