The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static
and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files
use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into
session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single
global pevent variable and use the per session one.
Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not
interested at all in what is present in the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis,
just in what is in the perf.data file.
This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that
is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint
events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a
perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.

perf evsel: Reconstruct raw event with modifiers from perf_event_attr
commit 6eef3d9c2b
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
The perf_evsel__name function now returns ':mod' suffix for raw events,
so we need to follow that in current tests.
All tests pass now for 'perf test parse' suite.

The commit c410431cef ("perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers
from perf_event_attr") added the line, but it's broken since it needs to
go up 3 directories to get to the kernel root directory, not 2.
However host gcc contains /usr/local/include in its search path, so that
it can find the perf_event.h in /usr/include. This why we didn't notice
the problem yet. But when I tried to cross compile it appears like:
CC util/evsel.o
util/evsel.c:18:44: error: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [util/evsel.o] Error 1
Looking at the source, it isn't needed at all as evsel.h already
included the perf_event.h. So simply remove it would solve the problem.

We want to reuse the event grammar for parsing aliased terms.
The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's
already support for this in event grammar.
Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event
parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the
starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the
lexer. The lexer then returns the starting token as the first
token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly.
Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported:
PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS
The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part
of the grammar for term parsing.

We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to
synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data
headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll
end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same
tracepoint ID -> real event association.
Example:
# uname -a
Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ]
# cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
279
# perf evlist -v
sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
#
So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on
the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id:
$ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
56
$ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout
$ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id
279
With this fix:
$ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
sched:sched_switch

The following commit:
commit 56f3bae706
Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600
perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere
introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default,
i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to
writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed
and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major
difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf
stat via redirection:
perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log ....
They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do:
perf stat 0>/tmp/log ...
This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very
natural.
This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was
modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive.
Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored.
I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the
right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific
issue.

We swap the sample_id_all header by u64 pointers. Some members of the
header happen to be 32 bit values. We need to handle them separatelly.
Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report
discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below,
e.g. following perf report diff:
...
0.12% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page
- 0.12% awk bash [.] alloc_word_desc
+ 0.12% awk bash [.] yyparse
0.11% beah-rhts-task libpython2.6.so.1.0 [.] 0x5560e
0.10% perf libc-2.12.so [.] __ctype_toupper_loc
- 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] maybe_make_export_env
+ 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] 0x385a0
0.09% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault
...
Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data
- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target
- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)
test 2)
- origin system:
# perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
- mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
- target system:
# perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
--kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
- complete perf.data header is displayed

Adding endianity swapping for event header attached via sample_id_all.
Currently we dont do that and it's causing wrong data to be read when
running report on architecture with different endianity than the record.
The perf is currently able to process 32-bit PPC samples on 32-bit
and 64-bit x86.
Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report
discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1
below, e.g. following perf report diff:
...
0.12% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page
- 0.12% awk bash [.] alloc_word_desc
+ 0.12% awk bash [.] yyparse
0.11% beah-rhts-task libpython2.6.so.1.0 [.] 0x5560e
0.10% perf libc-2.12.so [.] __ctype_toupper_loc
- 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] maybe_make_export_env
+ 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] 0x385a0
0.09% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault
...
Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data
- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target
- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)
test 2)
- origin system:
# perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
- mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
- target system:
# perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
--kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
- complete perf.data header is displayed

Currently we dont care about the file object's endianness. It's possible
we read buildid file object from different architecture than we are
currentlly running on. So we need to care about properly reading such
object's data - handle different endianness properly.
Adding:
needs_swap DSO field
dso__swap_init function to initialize DSO's needs_swap
DSO__SWAP to read the data with proper swaps

The ioctl on perf event fd wants 3 arguments but we only passed 2. As
the only user of the functions is perf record and it calls them for
every event (regardless of group setting), just pass 0 for now.

The patch series that introduced the top level tools/ makefile and the
libtraceevent broke this feature where files needed to build in a
detached tarball were not included in the MANIFEST file and thus not
included in the tarball.
Fix it by adding the relevant files to the MANIFEST.

perf script: Unify the expressions indicating "unknown"
The perf script command uses various expressions to indicate "unknown".
It is unfriendly for user scripts to parse it. So, this patch unifies
the expressions to "[unknown]".
Looks like a copy-paste in that the other references use al.map but this one
should be node->map.
With this patch you get:

When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will
call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits.
When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be
excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to
perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far
just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail
specified.
Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the
details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into
account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc},
.precise_ip, etc).
That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the
rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.
I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG
modifier:
$ perf stat usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
0.942119 task-clock # 0.454 CPUs utilized

While if one explicitely specifies the same events, which will make the parsing code
to be called and thus event_attr_init is called:
$ perf stat -e task-clock,context-switches,migrations,page-faults,cycles,stalled-cycles-frontend,stalled-cycles-backend,instructions,branches,branch-misses usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

Fix it by introducing a perf_evlist__add_default_attrs method that will call
evlist_attr_init in all the perf_event_attr entries before adding the events.

In non symbolic views, i.e. --sort without "symbol", as in:
perf report --sort comm
We're segfaulting in the --tui because we're testing the symbol resolved
and then trying to use the symbol on the histogram entry where we're
coalescing all hits for a COMM, and the first hist_entry for a comm may
have a NULL symbol, i.e. the RIP didn't resolve to any symbol.
In this case we're segfaulting, fix it by testing against the symbol in
the histogram entry.
