perf record: Add a function to test for kernel support for AUX area sampling

2019-11-22T13:43:24+00:00

Architectures are expected to know if AUX area sampling is supported by
the hardware. Add a function perf_can_aux_sample() which will determine
whether the kernel supports it.

Committer notes:

I reported that this message was taking place on a kernel without the
required bits:

  # perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 7 (Argument list too long) for event (branch-misses:u).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

Adrian sent a patch addressing it, with this explanation:

 ----
  perf_can_aux_sample_size() always returned true because it did not pass
  the attribute size to sys_perf_event_open, nor correctly check the
  return value and errno.
 ----

After applying it I get, later in the series, when --aux-sample is
added:

  # perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
  AUX area sampling is not supported by kernel

libperf: Add perf_evlist__first()/last() functions

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

Add perf_evlist__first()/last() functions to libperf, as internal
functions and rename perf's origins to evlist__first/last.

perf env: Remove needless cpumap.h header

2019-09-20T12:19:21+00:00

Only a 'struct perf_cmp_map' forward allocation is necessary, fix the
places that need the header but were getting it indirectly, by luck,
from env.h.

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for
places where it was only serving to get something else.

perf auxtrace: Uninline functions that touch perf_session

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

So that we don't carry the session.h include directive in auxtrace.h,
which in turn opens a can of worms of files that were getting all sorts
of things via that include, fix them all.

perf tools: Remove debug.h from header files not needing it

2019-08-29T20:38:32+00:00

And fix the fallout, adding it to places that must have it since they
use its definitions.

perf tools: Move everything related to sys_perf_event_open() to perf-sys.h

2019-08-29T20:38:32+00:00

And remove unneeded include directives from perf-sys.h to prune the
header dependency tree.

Fixup the fallout in places where definitions were being used without
the needed include directives that were being satisfied because they
were in perf-sys.h.

perf record: Move record_opts and other record decls out of perf.h

2019-08-26T14:58:22+00:00

And into a separate util/record.h, to better isolate things and make
sure that those who use record_opts and the other moved declarations
are explicitly including the necessary header.

libperf: Move perf's cpu_map__empty() to perf_cpu_map__empty()

2019-08-22T14:17:03+00:00

So it's part of the libperf library as one of basic functions operating
on the perf_cpu_map class.

libperf: Add cpus to struct perf_evlist

2019-07-29T21:34:45+00:00

Move cpus from tools/perf's evlist to libperf's perf_evlist struct.
