Process of analyzing events caused by 2 functions: mmap_read() and
finished_round().During mmap_read(), perf receives events from shared memory, queues
their pointers for further processing in finished_round() and notifies
the kernel that the events have been processed.By the time when finished_round() is invoked, queued events can be
overwritten by the kernel, so the finished_round() occurs on potentially
corrupted memory.Since there is no place where the event can be safely consumed, let's
copy events when queueing.Signed-off-by: Alexander Yarygin

When processing events the session code has an ordered samples queue
which is used to time-sort events coming in across multiple mmaps. At a
later point in time samples on the queue are flushed up to some
timestamp at which point the event is actually processed.When analyzing events live (ie., record/analysis path in the same
command) there is a race that leads to corrupted events and parse errors
which cause perf to terminate. The problem is that when the event is
placed in the ordered samples queue it is only a reference to the event
which is really sitting in the mmap buffer. Even though the event is
queued for later processing the mmap tail pointer is updated which
indicates to the kernel that the event has been processed. The race is
flushing the event from the queue before it gets overwritten by some
other event. For commands trying to process events live (versus just
writing to a file) and processing a high rate of events this leads to
parse failures and perf terminates.Examples hitting this problem are 'perf kvm stat live', especially with
nested VMs which generate 100,000+ traces per second, and a command
processing scheduling events with a high rate of context switching --
e.g., running 'perf bench sched pipe'.This patch offers live commands an option to copy the event when it is
placed in the ordered samples queue.Based on a patch from David Ahern

The unw_addr_space_t in libunwind represents an address space to be used
for stack unwinding. It doesn't need to be create/destory everytime to
unwind callchain (as in get_entries) and can have a same lifetime as
thread (unless exec called).So move the address space construction/destruction logic to the thread
lifetime handling functions. This is a preparation to enable caching in
the unwind library.Note that it saves unw_addr_space_t object using thread__set_priv(). It
seems currently only used by perf trace and perf kvm stat commands which
don't use callchain.Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE '-' PE_PMU_EVENT_SUF sep_dcPE_KERNEL_PMU_EVENT token is for
cycles-ct/cycles-t/mem-loads/mem-stores.The prefix cycles is mixed up with cpu-cycles. loads and stores are
mixed up with cache event So they have to be hardcode in lex.PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE and PE_PMU_EVENT_SUF tokens are for other PMU events.
The lex looks generic identifier up in the table and return the matched
token. If there is no match, generic PE_NAME token will be return.Using the rules, kernel PMU event could use new style format without //
so you can use:
perf record -e mem-loads ...

There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR
cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style
format as two events.The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in
known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME
or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these
information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events.The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime.
Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as
"a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and
"stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.Signed-off-by: Kan Liang

* Fix off-by-one bug in maps__find(), also related to map->end handling (Namhyung Kim)
* Make struct symbol->end be the first addr after the symbol range, to make it
match the convention used for struct map->end. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)* Fix perf_evlist__add_pollfd() error handling in 'perf kvm stat live' (Jiri Olsa)
* Fix python test build by moving callchain_param to an object linked into the
python binding (Jiri Olsa)* Do not include a struct hists per perf_evsel, untangling the histogram code
from perf_evsel, to pave the way for exporting a minimalistic
tools/lib/api/perf/ library usable by tools/perf and initially by the rasd
daemon being developed by Borislav Petkov, Robert Richter and Jean Pihet.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)* Make perf_evlist__open(evlist, NULL, NULL), i.e. without cpu and thread
maps mean syswide monitoring, reducing the boilerplate for tools that
only want system wide mode. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

This patch fixes off-by-one errors in the management of maps.
A map is defined by start address and length as implemented by
map__new():map__init(map, type, start, start + len, pgoff, dso);
map->start = addr;
map->end = end;Consequently, the actual address range is [start; end[ map->end is the
first byte outside the range.This patch fixes two bugs where upper bound checking was off-by-one.
In V2, we fix map_groups__fixup_overlappings() some more where
map->start was off-by-one as reported by Jiri.Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian

A segfault happens on 'perf test hists_link' because we end up using a
struct machines on the stack, and then machines__init() was not
initializing the newly introduced rb_root, just the existing list_head.When we introduced struct dsos, to group the two ways to store dsos,
i.e. the linked list and the rbtree, we didn't turned the initialization
done in:machines__init(machines->host) ->
machine__init() ->
INIT_LIST_HEADinto a dsos__init() to keep on initializing the list_head but _as well_
initializing the rb_root, oops.All worked because outside perf-test we probably zalloc the whole thing
which ends up initializing it in to NULL.So the problem looks contained to 'perf test' that uses it on stack,
etc.Reported-by: Jiri Olsa

Create a dummy thread_map, one that has just one entry and it is -1,
meaning 'all threads', as this ends up going down to perf_event_open().Cc: Adrian Hunter

Now tools that deals want to have an hists per evsel need to call
hists__init() before creating any evsels, which can be as early as when
parsing the command line, so do it before calling parse_options().The current tools using hists/hist_entries are report, top and annotate,
change them to request per evsel hists.This is in preparation for making evsels usable by 3rd party tools, that
not necessarily live in perf's source code repository.Acked-by: Borislav Petkov

Provide a method to be called at tool start to config the perf_evsel
instance size, together with optional constructor and destructor.This will be used so that perf_evsel doesn't always include a struct
hists, tools that works with hists/hist_entries, like report, top and
annotate, will, at start, tell the evsel class the size they need per
instance.v2: Don't use exit as a name of a member of function parameter, as this
breaks the build on at least fedora14 and rhel6.Cc: Adrian Hunter

Now perf_session doesn't require that the evsels in its evlist are hists
containing ones.Tools that are hists based and want to do per evsel events_stats
updates, if at some point this turns into a necessity, should do it in
the tool specific code, keeping the session class hists agnostic.Cc: Adrian Hunter

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side updates:- Fix and enhance poll support (Jiri Olsa)
- Re-enable inheritance optimization (Jiri Olsa)
- Enhance Intel memory events support (Stephane Eranian)
- Refactor the Intel uncore driver to be more maintainable (Zheng
Yan)- Enhance and fix Intel CPU and uncore PMU drivers (Peter Zijlstra,
Andi Kleen)- [ plus various smaller fixes/cleanups ]
User visible tooling updates:
- Add +field argument support for --field option, so that one can add
fields to the default list of fields to show, ie now one can just
do:perf report --fields +pid
And the pid will appear in addition to the default fields (Jiri
Olsa)- Add +field argument support for --sort option (Jiri Olsa)
- Honour -w in the report tools (report, top), allowing to specify
the widths for the histogram entries columns (Namhyung Kim)- Properly show submicrosecond times in 'perf kvm stat' (Christian
Borntraeger)- Add beautifier for mremap flags param in 'trace' (Alex Snast)
- perf script: Allow callchains if any event samples them
- Don't truncate Intel style addresses in 'annotate' (Alex Converse)
- Allow profiling when kptr_restrict == 1 for non root users, kernel
samples will just remain unresolved (Andi Kleen)- Allow configuring default options for callchains in config file
(Namhyung Kim)- Support operations for shared futexes. (Davidlohr Bueso)
- "perf kvm stat report" improvements by Alexander Yarygin:
- Save pid string in opts.target.pid
- Enable the target.system_wide flag
- Unify the title bar output- [ plus lots of other fixes and small improvements. ]
Tooling infrastructure changes:
- Refactor unit and scale function parameters for PMU parsing
routines (Matt Fleming)- Improve DSO long names lookup with rbtree, resulting in great
speedup for workloads with lots of DSOs (Waiman Long)- We were not handling POLLHUP notifications for event file
descriptorsFix it by filtering entries in the events file descriptor array
after poll() returns, refcounting mmaps so that when the last fd
pointing to a perf mmap goes away we do the unmap (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)- Intel PT prep work, from Adrian Hunter, including:
- Let a user specify a PMU event without any config terms
- Add perf-with-kcore script
- Let default config be defined for a PMU
- Add perf_pmu__scan_file()
- Add a 'perf test' for tracking with sched_switch
- Add 'flush' callback to scripting API- Use ring buffer consume method to look like other tools (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)- hists browser (used in top and report) refactorings, getting rid of
unused variables and reducing source code size by handling similar
cases in a fewer functions (Namhyung Kim).- Replace thread unsafe strerror() with strerror_r() accross the
whole tools/perf/ tree (Masami Hiramatsu)- Rename ordered_samples to ordered_events and allow setting a queue
size for ordering events (Jiri Olsa)- [ plus lots of fixes, cleanups and other improvements ]"

Wilcox, culled from his XIP-related series) pushing the conversion to
->read_iter()/ ->write_iter() a bit more, a bunch of fs/dcache.c
cleanups and fixes (including the external name refcounting, which
gives consistent behaviour of d_move() wrt procfs symlinks for long
