     when profiling with DWARF-based stacks and tracing of context

     this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware

objtool: Allow AR to be overridden with HOSTAR

2019-05-17T09:10:42+00:00

Currently, this Makefile hardcodes GNU ar, meaning that if it is not
available, there is no way to supply a different one and the build will
fail.

  $ make AR=llvm-ar CC=clang LD=ld.lld HOSTAR=llvm-ar HOSTCC=clang \
         HOSTLD=ld.lld HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld defconfig modules_prepare
  ...
    AR       /out/tools/objtool/libsubcmd.a
  /bin/sh: 1: ar: not found
  ...

Follow the logic of HOST{CC,LD} and allow the user to specify a
different ar tool via HOSTAR (which is used elsewhere in other
tools/ Makefiles).

Merge tag 'linux-kselftest-5.2-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest

2019-05-17T01:57:58+00:00

Pull more kselftest updates from Shuah Khan:

 - kselftest framework bpf build/test workflow regression fix

 - Fix to kselftest install to use default install path

 - Fix to kselftest KBUILD_OUTPUT builds to not clutter main
   KBUILD_OUTPUT directory with selftest objects

 - .gitignore fixes (Kelsey Skunberg)

 - rseq selftests updates (Mathieu Desnoyers and Martin Schwidefsky)

   They change the per-architecture pre-abort signatures to ensure those
   are valid trap instructions.

   The way exit points are presented to debuggers is enhanced, ensuring
   all exit points are present, so debuggers don't have to disassemble
   rseq critical section to properly skip over them.

   Discussions with the glibc community is reaching a consensus of
   exposing a __rseq_handled symbol from glibc to coexist with rseq
   early adopters. Update the rseq selftest code to expose and use this
   symbol.

   Support for compiling asm goto with clang is added with the
   "-no-integrated-as" compiler switch, similarly to the top level
   kernel Makefile.

 - kselftest Makefile test run output refactoring and making test output
   TAP13 compliant from Kees Cook:

   This re-factors the selftest Makefiles to extract the test running
   logic to be reused between "run_tests" and "emit_tests", while also
   fixing up the test output to be TAP version 13 compliant:
	- added "plan" line
	- fixed result line syntax
	- moved all test output to be "# "-prefixed as TAP "diagnostic"
	  lines

   The prefixing code includes a fallback mode for limited execution
   environments.

   Additionally, the plan lines are fixed for all callers of
   kselftest.h.

perf stat: Support 'percore' event qualifier

2019-05-16T17:17:24+00:00

With this patch, we can use the 'percore' event qualifier in perf-stat.

  root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ -a -A -I1000
    1.000773050 S0-C0   98,352,832 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.01%)
    1.000773050 S0-C1  103,763,057 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.02%)
    1.000773050 S0-C2  196,776,995 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.02%)
    1.000773050 S0-C3  176,493,779 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/  (50.02%)
    1.000773050 CPU0    47,699,641 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (50.02%)
    1.000773050 CPU1    49,052,451 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU2   102,771,422 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU3   100,784,662 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU4    43,171,342 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU5    54,152,158 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU6    93,618,410 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.98%)
    1.000773050 CPU7    74,477,589 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/            (49.99%)

In this example, we count the event 'ref-cycles' per-core and per-CPU in
one perf stat command-line. From the output, we can see:

  S0-C0 = CPU0 + CPU4
  S0-C1 = CPU1 + CPU5
  S0-C2 = CPU2 + CPU6
  S0-C3 = CPU3 + CPU7

So the result is expected (tiny difference is ignored).

Note that, the 'percore' event qualifier needs to use with option '-A'.

perf tools: Add a 'percore' event qualifier

2019-05-16T17:17:24+00:00

Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.

We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level.

This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for
    this new qualifier.
 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch

 v3:
 ---
 Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments.
 Before:
   "return term->val.percore ? true : false;"
 Now:
   "return term->val.percore;"

 v2:
 ---
 Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to
 comments from Jiri and Andi.
