c3305257cd perf stat: Add more cache-miss percentage printouts
Print out the cache-miss percentage as well if the cache refs were
collected, for all the generic cache event types.

Before:

   11,103,723,230 dTLB-loads                #  622.471 M/sec                    ( +-  0.30% )
       87,065,337 dTLB-load-misses          #    4.881 M/sec                    ( +-  0.90% )

After:

   11,353,713,242 dTLB-loads                #  626.020 M/sec                    ( +-  0.35% )
      113,393,472 dTLB-load-misses          #    1.00% of all dTLB cache hits   ( +-  0.49% )

Also ASCII color highlight too high percentages, them when it's executed on the console.

2cba3ffb9a perf stat: Add -d -d and -d -d -d options to show more CPU events
Print even more detailed statistics if requested via perf stat -d:

       -d:          detailed events, L1 and LLC data cache
    -d -d:     more detailed events, dTLB and iTLB events
 -d -d -d:     very detailed events, adding prefetch events

Full output looks like this now:

Also clean up the attribute construction code to be appending, and factor
it out into add_default_attributes().

Tweak the coverage percentage printout a bit, so that it's easier to view it
alongside the +- sttddev colum.

94692349c4 perf: Fix multi-event parsing bug
This patch fixes an issue with event parsing.
The following commit appears to have broken the
ability to specify a comma separated list of events:

   commit ceb53fbf6d
   Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
   Date:   Wed Apr 27 04:06:33 2011 +0200

       perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified

This patch fixes this while preserving the desired effect:

$ perf stat -e instructions:u,instructions:k ls /dev/null /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for 'ls /dev/null':

            365956 instructions:u           #    0.00  insns per cycle
            731806 instructions:k           #    0.00  insns per cycle

        0.001108862  seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers

aece948f5d perf evlist: Fix per thread mmap setup
The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.

Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.

Tested with:

11 mmaps, one per thread since we didn't specify any CPU list, so we need one
mmap per thread and:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131
^M
^C[ perf record: Woken up 79 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 20.614 MB perf.data (~900639 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl

Ok, one of the threads, 26151 was quiescent, so no samples there, but all the
others are there.

Then, if I specify one CPU:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131 --cpu 1
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.680 MB perf.data (~29730 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl

     6	      9 661
     7	      9 29048
[root@felicio ~]#

This machine has two cores, so fewer threads appeared on the radar, and:

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
 1 7f484b922000-7f484b9a3000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#

Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
per-thread needed in the previous case.

For global profiling:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
     1	7fb49b435000-7fb49b4b6000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
     2	7fb49b4b6000-7fb49b537000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#

It uses per-cpu buffers.

For just one thread:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.330 MB perf.data (~14426 samples) ]

174a7b1f96 perf tools: Makefile: Use gcc to determine ARCH
The original Makefile uses "uname -m" to determine ARCH.
This causes problem on x86 when compile perf tool on 32 bit
userspace with a 64 bit kernel.

 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
 bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:28: Error: bad register name `%rdi'

This is because "uname -m" returns x86_64 and memcpy_64.S is
included in 32 bit build.

c63ca0c01d perf stat: Tell user about unsupported events in the list
Similar to perf-record, tell user about unsupported events
that will not be counted if invoked in verbose mode.

e.g.,

 $ perf stat -e dTLB-prefetch-misses -v -- sleep 1
 dTLB-prefetch-misses event is not supported by the kernel.
 dTLB-prefetch-misses: 0 0 0

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

     <not counted> dTLB-prefetch-misses

We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a
more generic "how well utilized is the CPU" metric.

If the stalled-cycles ratio is too high then more specific measurements can be
taken to figure out the source of the inefficiency.

749141d926 perf stat: Make all displayed event names parseable as well
Right now we display this by default:

          0.202204 task-clock-msecs         #      0.282 CPUs
                 0 context-switches         #      0.000 M/sec
                 0 CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec
                85 page-faults              #      0.420 M/sec

The task-clock-msecs event cannot actually be passed back as an
event name, the event name we recognize is 'task-clock'.

So change the output of the cpu-clock and task-clock events
to be idempotent.

( Units should be printed out in the right-side column, if needed. )

ceb53fbf6d perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".

The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.

This patch changes the code to be more informative:

 $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
 invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
 Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers

And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow
the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

9cbdb70209 perf script: improve validation of sample attributes for output fields
Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type
in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not
present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from
older kernel) the field is removed from the output list.

Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies

  -f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym

the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events
(ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file).

Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather
than for each sample.

ced465c400 perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibility
Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:

  python{,-config}

The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.

However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:

  python2{,-config}

Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.

This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.

In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

Thanks to:

  Raghavendra D Prabhu <rprabhu@wnohang.net>

3643b133f2 perf tools: Makefile: Clean up `python/perf.so' rule
There is no need for a subshell or an explicit `export';
as per the POSIX Shell Command Language specification:

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_09_01
  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_10_02

It is only necessary to include the environment variable
assignment just before the command to be run.

Also, it is better to use single-quotes, because GNU make
might expand `$(BASIC_CFLAGS)' into something that the shell
could interpret within double-quotes.

db9a9cbc81 perf hists browser: Fix seg fault when annotate null symbol
In hists browser, press hotkey 'a' to annotate current symbol.

Now it causes segment fault if 'a' is pressed on a null symbol.

Here are 2 small bugs:
- In perf_evsel__hists_browse, the condition check after 'a' is pressed
  is not correct, we should check ->sym instead of ->map.
- In symbol__tui_annotate we must check whether sym is NULL or not
  before getting annotation structure.

This patch fixes above 2 small bugs.

1d46ea2a6a perf probe: Fix listing incorrect line number with inline function
Fix a bug showing incorrect line number when a probe is put on the head of an
inline function. This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new
rules to get correct line number.

 - If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line
   number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless.

 - If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset
   from the function entry.

   - If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from
     the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry
     address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should
     be 0).

     - If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the
       inline function call line number as the line on which the address is.

   - If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline
     function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the
     (non-inlined) function.
