Merge branch 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core kernel changes:

   - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
     to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
     by the kernel) to kprobes.

     This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
     that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
     (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
     allow unprivileged use as well.)

     (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
     allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
     sources for event timestamps traced via perf.

     This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
     events with external events that were measured with different
     clocks:

       - cluster wide profiling

       - for system wide tracing with user-space events,

       - JIT profiling events

     etc.  Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
     the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.

     (Peter Zijlstra)

  Hardware enablement kernel changes:

   - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
     on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.

     The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
     ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
     to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
     necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.

     This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
     A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
     driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
     More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
     will probably be ready by 4.2.

     (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)

   - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
     feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
     allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.

     These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
     driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events.  (The
     partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
     as a cgroup extension.)

     (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
     Waskiewicz Jr)

   - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
     feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
     tooling support.  To activate this feature you have to enable it
     via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:

        perf record --call-graph lbr
        perf report

     or:

        perf top --call-graph lbr

     This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
     based unwinding, but has some limitations:

       - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
         branch record can not be enabled at the same time.

       - It is only available for user-space callchains.

     (Yan, Zheng)

   - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
     event table fixes for earlier models.

     (Andi Kleen)

   - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds.  This is a complex
     CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
     value corruption.  The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
     is transparent.

     (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

  The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
  I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
  the tooling changes outlined above:

  User visible changes affecting all tools:

      - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
      - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
      - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
      - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
      - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  User visible changes in individual tools:

    'perf data':

        New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
        for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
        Sebastian Siewior)

    'perf diff':

        Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)

    'perf list':

        Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)

        Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)

    'perf kmem':

        Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)

        Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)

        Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)

        Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)

    'perf probe':

        Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)

    'perf record':

        Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

        Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)

    'perf sched':

        Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)

    'perf report' and 'perf top':

        Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
        TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)

        Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
        cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
        events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

    'perf stat':

        Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)

        Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)

    'perf trace':

        Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
        be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
        place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
        (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
  split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -
  see the shortlog and changelog for details"

+Build Framework
+===============
+
+The perf build framework was adopted from the kernel build system, hence the
+idea and the way how objects are built is the same.
+
+Basically the user provides set of 'Build' files that list objects and
+directories to nest for specific target to be build.
+
+Unlike the kernel we don't have a single build object 'obj-y' list that where
+we setup source objects, but we support more. This allows one 'Build' file to
+carry a sources list for multiple build objects.
+
+a) Build framework makefiles
+----------------------------
+
+The build framework consists of 2 Makefiles:
+
+  Build.include
+  Makefile.build
+
+While the 'Build.include' file contains just some generic definitions, the
+'Makefile.build' file is the makefile used from the outside. It's
+interface/usage is following:
+
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile srctree=$(KSRC) dir=$(DIR) obj=$(OBJECT)
+
+where:
+
+  KSRC   - is the path to kernel sources
+  DIR    - is the path to the project to be built
+  OBJECT - is the name of the build object
+
+When succefully finished the $(DIR) directory contains the final object file
+called $(OBJECT)-in.o:
+
+  $ ls $(DIR)/$(OBJECT)-in.o
+
+which includes all compiled sources described in 'Build' makefiles.
+
+a) Build makefiles
+------------------
+
+The user supplies 'Build' makefiles that contains a objects list, and connects
+the build to nested directories.
+
+Assume we have the following project structure:
+
+  ex/a.c
+    /b.c
+    /c.c
+    /d.c
+    /arch/e.c
+    /arch/f.c
+
+Out of which you build the 'ex' binary ' and the 'libex.a' library:
+
+  'ex'      - consists of 'a.o', 'b.o' and libex.a
+  'libex.a' - consists of 'c.o', 'd.o', 'e.o' and 'f.o'
+
+The build framework does not create the 'ex' and 'libex.a' binaries for you, it
+only prepares proper objects to be compiled and grouped together.
+
+To follow the above example, the user provides following 'Build' files:
+
+  ex/Build:
+    ex-y += a.o
+    ex-y += b.o
+
+    libex-y += c.o
+    libex-y += d.o
+    libex-y += arch/
+
+  ex/arch/Build:
+    libex-y += e.o
+    libex-y += f.o
+
+and runs:
+
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=ex
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=libex
+
+which creates the following objects:
+
+  ex/ex-in.o
+  ex/libex-in.o
+
+that contain request objects names in Build files.
+
+It's only a matter of 2 single commands to create the final binaries:
+
+  $ ar  rcs libex.a libex-in.o
+  $ gcc -o ex ex-in.o libex.a
+
+You can check the 'ex' example in 'tools/build/tests/ex' for more details.
+
+b) Rules
+--------
+
+The build framework provides standard compilation rules to handle .S and .c
+compilation.
+
+It's possible to include special rule if needed (like we do for flex or bison
+code generation).
+
+c) CFLAGS
+---------
+
+It's possible to alter the standard object C flags in the following way:
+
+  CFLAGS_perf.o += '...' - alters CFLAGS for perf.o object
+  CFLAGS_gtk += '...'    - alters CFLAGS for gtk build object
+
+This C flags changes has the scope of the Build makefile they are defined in.
+
+
+d) Dependencies
+---------------
+
+For each built object file 'a.o' the '.a.cmd' is created and holds:
+
+  - Command line used to built that object
+    (for each object)
+
+  - Dependency rules generated by 'gcc -Wp,-MD,...'
+    (for compiled object)
+
+All existing '.cmd' files are included in the Build process to follow properly
+the dependencies and trigger a rebuild when necessary.
+
+
+e) Single rules
+---------------
+
+It's possible to build single object file by choice, like:
+
+  $ make util/map.o    # objects
+  $ make util/map.i    # preprocessor
+  $ make util/map.s    # assembly

+1) perf build
+=============
+The perf build process consists of several separated building blocks,
+which are linked together to form the perf binary:
+  - libperf library (static)
+  - perf builtin commands
+  - traceevent library (static)
+  - GTK ui library
+
+Several makefiles govern the perf build:
+
+  - Makefile
+    top level Makefile working as a wrapper that calls the main
+    Makefile.perf with a -j option to do parallel builds.
+
+  - Makefile.perf
+    main makefile that triggers build of all perf objects including
+    installation and documentation processing.
+
+  - tools/build/Makefile.build
+    main makefile of the build framework
+
+  - tools/build/Build.include
+    build framework generic definitions
+
+  - Build makefiles
+    makefiles that defines build objects
+
+Please refer to tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt for more
+information about build framework.
+
+
+2) perf build
+=============
+The Makefile.perf triggers the build framework for build objects:
+   perf, libperf, gtk
+
+resulting in following objects:
+  $ ls  *-in.o
+  gtk-in.o  libperf-in.o  perf-in.o
+
+Those objects are then used in final linking:
+  libperf-gtk.so <- gtk-in.o  libperf-in.o
+  perf           <- perf-in.o libperf-in.o
+
+
+NOTE this description is omitting other libraries involved, only
+     focusing on build framework outcomes

 'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
+'$vars' special argument is also available for NAME, it is expanded to the local variables which can access at given probe point.
 'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo. You can specify 'string' type only for the local variable or structure member which is an array of or a pointer to 'char' or 'unsigned char' type.
 
 On x86 systems %REG is always the short form of the register: for example %AX. %RAX or %EAX is not valid.
