Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples. The
decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for
each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding
window. We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid
overlapping intervals.
This is useful for:
- Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf
report branch view
- Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples
- Other users of LBRs
Also the Documentation is updated.
Examples:
Record with Intel PT:
perf record -e intel_pt//u ls
Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so:
perf report --itrace=ile
is the same as:
perf report --itrace=ile -b
Branch history can be requested also:
perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history

A non-synthesized event might not have a branch stack if branch stacks
have been synthesized (using itrace options).
An example of that is when Intel PT records sched_switch events for
decoding purposes. Those sched_switch events do not have branch stacks
even though the Intel PT decoder may be synthesizing other events that
do due to the itrace options.

TSC packets contain only 7 bytes of TSC. The 8th byte is assumed to
change so infrequently that its value can be inferred. However the
logic must cater for a 7 byte wraparound, which it does by adding 1 to
the top byte.
The existing code was doing that with a while loop even though the
addition should only need to be done once. That logic won't work (will
loop forever) if TSC wraps around at the 8th byte. Theoretically that
would take at least 10 years, unless something else went wrong.
And what else could go wrong. Well, if the chunks of trace data are
processed out of order, it will make it look like the 7-byte TSC has
gone backwards (i.e. wrapped). If that happens 256 times then stuck in
the while loop it will be.
Fix that by getting rid of the unnecessary while loop.

Processing instruction tracing data (e.g. Intel PT) can synthesize
callchains e.g.
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
$ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige
However perf report's callgraph option gets extra validation, so:
$ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat
Error:

you call 'perf record' without -g?
# To display the perf.data header info,

A side-effect of the change is that the default option to
accumulate the callchain of child functions comes into force.

used e.g.
$ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat --no-children

Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for
sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g.
--itrace=i10us
means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace.
Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of
zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated
as the default period which is 100000. That doesn't really
make sense.
Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning
"as often as possible".
In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and
a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

For dependency tracking we currently use targets that fall out of the
gcc -MD command. We store this info in the .cmd file and include as
makefile during the build.
This format put object as target and all the c and header files as
dependencies, like:
util/abspath.o: util/abspath.c /usr/include/stdc-predef.h util/cache.h \
/usr/include/bits/wordsize.h /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \
...
If any of those dependency header files (krava.h below) is removed the
build fails on:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'krava.h', needed by 'inc.o'. Stop.
This patch adds fixdep helper, that is used by kbuild to alter the shape
of the object dependencies like:
source_util/abspath.o := util/abspath.c
deps_util/abspath.o := \
/usr/include/stdc-predef.h \
util/cache.h \
...
util/abspath.o: $(deps_util/abspath.o)
$(deps_util/abspath.o):
With this format the header removal won't make the build fail, because
it'll be picked up by the last empty target defined for each header.
As previously mentioned the fixdep tool is taken from kbuild. It's not
complete backport, only the part that alters the standard dependency
info was taken, the part that adds the CONFIG_* dependency logic will be
probably taken later on.

A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.
perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore
To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.
The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).
The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().
The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure. That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned. So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().
Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.
Committer notes:

When perf creates a new child to profile, the events are enabled on
exec(). And in this case, it doesn't synthesize any event for the
child since they'll be generated during exec(). But there's an window
between the enabling and the event generation.
It used to be overcome since samples are only in kernel (so we always
have the map) and the comm is overridden by a later COMM event.
However it won't work if events are processed and displayed before the
COMM event overrides like in 'perf script'. This leads to those early
samples (like native_write_msr_safe) not having a comm but pid (like
':15328').
So it needs to synthesize COMM event for the child explicitly before

We don't need to specify an explicit rule in the Makefile, the implicit
one will do the same. The "__EXPORTED_HEADERS__" define is not needed,
because we build the test against the installed kernel headers, not the
in-tree kernel headers. Re-use "$(TEST_PROGS)" in the clean target
rather than spelling the executable name twice. Include <unistd.h>
rather than the rather specific <asm-generic/unistd.h>. Include
<syscall.h> rather than <sys/syscall.h>. In both cases, the former
header is located in a standard location and includes the latter.

Add the usr/include subdirectory of the top-level tree to the include

sure the sanitized headers get picked up. Otherwise the compiler will
not be able to find the linux/compiler.h header included by the non-

When a trace recorded on a 32-bit device is processed with a 64-bit
binary, the higher 32-bits of the address need to ignored.
The lack of this results in the output of the 64-bit pointer
value to the trace as the 32-bit address lookup fails in find_printk().
Before:
burn-1778 [003] 548.600305: bputs: 0xc0046db2s: 2cec5c058d98c
After:
burn-1778 [003] 548.600305: bputs: 0xc0046db2s: RT throttling activated
The problem occurs in PRINT_FIELD when the field is recognized as a
pointer to a string (of the type const char *)
Heterogeneous architectures cases below can arise and should be handled:
* Traces recorded using 32-bit addresses processed on a 64-bit machine
* Traces recorded using 64-bit addresses processed on a 32-bit machine

When building tools/lib/bpf as part of the tools/perf/ build process,
which will happend when we introduce a patch wiring that up, we end up
stomping on the feature detection caching mechanism, that uses a file in
the output directory (O=) that is shared by libbpf and perf to check if
something changed from one build to another that requires redoing the
feature detection process.
By using the recently introduced FEATURE_USER tools/build/ knob, we can
avoid that:
Before, every make invokation would run the feature detection:
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
Auto-detecting system features:
... dwarf: [ on ]
... glibc: [ on ]
<SNIP>
... get_cpuid: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
GEN perf-archive
GEN perf-with-kcore
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
<SNIP>
After:
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
make: Leaving directory '/home/git/linux/tools/perf'
$
Because we now have two different feature detection state files:
$ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 338 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 33 Sep 21 17:25 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf

We will use the tools/build/ autodetection in the eBPF patchkit
and it is currently sharing the output directory with perf, that
also uses the feature detection logic.
As we keep state in the output directory, so that we can avoid running
all the tests again, we need to have different filenames for the files
used in this state, allow doing that via the FEATURE_USER variable, to
be set alongside the existing FEATURE_{TEST,DISPLAY} variables.
v2: Fix comment describing the FEATURE_DUMP filename to make sure where
it is created, precisely at $(OUTPUT)FEATURE-DUMP$(FEATURE_USER).

When libbpf was introduced it wrongly asked for the "libelf" and "bpf"
feature tests to be performed (via FEATURE_TESTS), while asking that
"libbpf", "libelf-mmap", "libelf-getphdrnum" and "bpf" to have the
result of its respective tests to be displayed (via FEATURE_DISPLAY).
Due to another recently bug fixed in the tools/build/ infrastructure
("tools build: Fixup feature detection display function name") the
results for the entries in the FEATURE_DISPLAY, for this case, were
appearing as all succeeding, when two of them (the ones only on the
DISPLAY) were not even being performed.
Before:
$ make -C tools/lib/bpf/
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... libelf-getphdrnum: [ OFF ]
... libelf-mmap: [ OFF ]
... bpf: [ on ]
<SNIP>
After, with FEATURE_TESTS == FEATURE_DISPLAY:
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]
... libelf-getphdrnum: [ on ]
... libelf-mmap: [ on ]
... bpf: [ on ]
<SNIP>
I just inverted, so that it tests the four features but displays just
the libelf and mmap ones, to make it more compact. So it becomes:
$ make -C tools/lib/bpf/
make: Entering directory '/home/git/linux/tools/lib/bpf'
Auto-detecting system features:
... libelf: [ on ]

Fix a segfault bug and a small mistake in perf probe -d.
Since the "ulist" in perf_del_probe_events is never initialized,
strlist__add(ulist, *) always causes a segfault when removing
uprobe events by perf probe -d.
Also, the "str" local variable is never released if fail to
allocate the "klist". This fixes it too.
This has been introduced by the commit e607f1426b ("perf probe:
