The perf tools annotation code used for a long time parsing the output
of binutils's objdump (or its reimplementations, like llvm's) to then
parse and augment it with samples, allow navigation, etc.
More recently disassemblers from the capstone and llvm (libraries, not
parsing the output of tools using those libraries to mimic binutils's
objdump output) were introduced.
So when all those methods are available, there is a static preference
for a series of attempts of disassembling a binary, with the 'llvm,
capstone, objdump' sequence being hard coded.
This patch allows users to change that sequence, specifying via a 'perf
config' 'annotate.disassemblers' entry which and in what order
disassemblers should be attempted.
As alluded to in the comments in the source code of this series, this
flexibility is useful for users and developers alike, elliminating the
requirement to rebuild the tool with some specific set of libraries to
see how the output of disassembling would be for one of these methods.

pre-migration wait time is the time that a task unnecessarily spends
on the runqueue of a CPU but doesn't get switched-in there. In terms
of tracepoints, it is the time between sched:sched_wakeup and
sched:sched_migrate_task.
Let's say a task woke up on CPU2, then it got migrated to CPU4 and
then it's switched-in to CPU4. So, here pre-migration wait time is
time that it was waiting on runqueue of CPU2 after it is woken up.
The general pattern for pre-migration to occur is:
sched:sched_wakeup
sched:sched_migrate_task
sched:sched_switch
The sched:sched_waking event is used to capture the wakeup time,
as it aligns with the existing code and only introduces a negligible
time difference.
pre-migrations are generally not useful and it increases migrations.
This metric would be helpful in testing patches mainly related to wakeup
and load-balancer code paths as better wakeup logic would choose an
optimal CPU where task would be switched-in and thereby reducing pre-
migrations.
The sample output(s) when -P or --pre-migrations is used:

Fix two inconsistencies in feature names as discussed in [1]:
1. Rename "dwarf-unwind-support" to "dwarf-unwind"
2. 'get_cpuid' feature and 'HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT' names don't
look related, change the feature name to 'auxtrace' to match the
macro name, as 'get_cpuid' string is not used anywhere to check the
feature presence

Currently the presence of a feature is checked with a combination of
perf version --build-options and greps, such as:
perf version --build-options | grep " on .* HAVE_FEATURE"
Instead of this, introduce a subcommand "perf check feature", with which
scripts can test for presence of a feature, such as:
perf check feature HAVE_FEATURE
'perf check feature' command is expected to have exit status of 0 if
feature is built-in, and 1 if it's not built-in or if feature is not known.
Multiple features can also be passed as a comma-separated list, in which
case the exit status will be 1 only if all of the passed features are
built-in. For example, with below command, it will have exit status of 0
only if both libtraceevent and bpf are enabled, else 1 in all other cases
perf check feature libtraceevent,bpf
The arguments are case-insensitive.
An array 'supported_features' has also been introduced that can be used by
other commands like 'perf version --build-options', so that new features
can be added in one place, with the array
Committer testing:
$ perf check feature libtraceevent,bpf
libtraceevent: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
$ perf check feature libtraceevent
libtraceevent: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT
$ perf check feature bpf
bpf: [ on ] # HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
$ perf check -q feature bpf && echo "BPF support is present"
BPF support is present
$ perf check -q feature Bogus && echo "Bogus support is present"

The --prio option is used to only show events for the given task priority(ies).
The default is to show events for all priority tasks, which is consistent with
the previous behavior.
Testcase:
# perf sched record nice -n 9 perf bench sched messaging -l 10000
# Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
# 20 sender and receiver processes per group
# 10 groups == 400 processes run
Total time: 3.435 [sec]

-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to profile
-D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII
-f, --force don't complain, do it
-g, --call-graph Display call chains if present (default on)
-I, --idle-hist Show idle events only
-i, --input <file> input file name
-k, --vmlinux <file> vmlinux pathname
-M, --migrations Show migration events

The --show-prio option is used to display the priority of task.
It is disabled by default, which is consistent with original behavior.
The display format is xxx (priority does not change during task running)
or xxx->yyy (priority changes during task running)
Testcase:
# perf sched record nice -n 9 true
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.497 MB perf.data ]
# perf sched timehist -h
Usage: perf sched timehist [<options>]
-C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to profile
-D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII
-f, --force don't complain, do it
-g, --call-graph Display call chains if present (default on)
-I, --idle-hist Show idle events only
-i, --input <file> input file name
-k, --vmlinux <file> vmlinux pathname
-M, --migrations Show migration events
-n, --next Show next task
-p, --pid <pid[,pid...]>
analyze events only for given process id(s)
-s, --summary Show only syscall summary with statistics
-S, --with-summary Show all syscalls and summary with statistics
-t, --tid <tid[,tid...]>
analyze events only for given thread id(s)
-V, --cpu-visual Add CPU visual
-v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc)
-w, --wakeups Show wakeup events
--kallsyms <file>
kallsyms pathname
--max-stack <n> Maximum number of functions to display backtrace.
--show-prio Show task priority
--state Show task state when sched-out
--symfs <directory>
Look for files with symbols relative to this directory
--time <str> Time span for analysis (start,stop)

It's useful to print the branch counter information for each jump in
the brstackinsn when it's available.
Add a new field 'brcntr' to display the branch counter information.
By default, the abbreviation will be used to indicate the branch
counter. In the verbose mode, the real event name is shown.
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr

# branch-instructions:ppp = A
# branch-misses = B

Reusing the existing --total-cycles option to display the branch
counters. Add a new PERF_HPP_REPORT__BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER to display
the logged branch counter events. They are shown right after all the
cycle-related annotations.
Extend the 'struct block_info' to store and pass the branch counter
related information.
The annotation_br_cntr_entry() is to print the histogram of each branch
counter event. If the number of logged events is less than 4, the exact
number of the abbr name is printed. Otherwise, using '+' to stands for
more than 3 events.
Assume the number of logged events is less than 4.
The annotation_br_cntr_abbr_list() prints the branch counter's
abbreviation list. Press 'B' to display the list in the TUI mode.
$ perf record -e "{branch-instructions:ppp,branch-misses}:S" -j any,counter
$ perf report --total-cycles --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Current description for the AUX trace buffer size is misleading. When a
user specifies the option '-m,512M', it represents a size value in bytes
(512MiB) but not 512M pages (512M x 4KiB regard to a page of 4KiB).
Make the document clear that the normal buffer and the AUX tracing
buffer share the same semantics. Syncs the documents for consistent
text.

Like in 'perf report', we want to hide empty events in the 'perf annotate'
output. This is consistent when the option is set in perf report.
For example, the following command would use 3 events including dummy.
$ perf mem record -a -- perf test -w noploop
$ perf evlist
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P
cpu/mem-stores/P
dummy:u
Just using perf annotate with --group will show the all 3 events.
$ perf annotate --group --stdio | head
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of ...
--------------------------------------------------------------
: 0 0xe060 <_dl_relocate_object>:
0.00 0.00 0.00 : e060: pushq %rbp

0.00 0.00 0.00 : e06d: movl %edx, %r13d
Now with --skip-empty, it'll hide the last dummy event.
$ perf annotate --group --stdio --skip-empty | head

To allow BPF filters for unprivileged users it needs to pin the BPF
objects to BPF-fs first. Let's add a new option to pin and unpin the
objects easily. I'm not sure 'perf record' is a right place to do this
but I don't have a better idea right now.
$ sudo perf record --setup-filter pin
The above command would pin BPF program and maps for the filter when the
system has BPF-fs (usually at /sys/fs/bpf/). To unpin the objects,
users can run the following command (as root).
$ sudo perf record --setup-filter unpin

The 'graph-tail' option is to print function name as a comment at the end.
This is useful when a large function is mixed with other functions
(possibly from different CPUs).
For example,
$ sudo perf ftrace -- perf stat true
...
1) | get_unused_fd_flags() {
1) | alloc_fd() {
1) 0.178 us | _raw_spin_lock();
1) 0.187 us | expand_files();
1) 0.169 us | _raw_spin_unlock();
1) 1.211 us | }
1) 1.503 us | }
$ sudo perf ftrace --graph-opts tail -- perf stat true
...
1) | get_unused_fd_flags() {
1) | alloc_fd() {
1) 0.099 us | _raw_spin_lock();
1) 0.083 us | expand_files();
1) 0.081 us | _raw_spin_unlock();
1) 0.601 us | } /* alloc_fd */
1) 0.751 us | } /* get_unused_fd_flags */

By default, perf sched map prints sched-in events for all the tasks
which may not be required all the time as it prints lot of symbols
and rows to the terminal.
With --task-name option, one could specify the specific task name
for which the map has to be shown. This would help in analyzing the
CPU usage patterns easier for that specific task. Since multiple
PID's might have the same task name, using task-name filter
would be more useful for debugging.
For other tasks, instead of printing the symbol, '-' is printed and
the same '.' is used to represent idle. '-' is used instead of symbol
for other tasks because it helps in clear visualization of task
of interest and secondly the symbol itself doesn't mean anything
because the sched-in of that symbol will not be printed(first sched-in
contains pid and the corresponding symbol).
When using the --task-name option, the sched-out time is represented
by a '*-'. Since not all task sched-in events are printed, the sched-out
time of the relevant task might be lost. This representation ensures
that the sched-out time of the interested task is not overlooked.

Currently, the -r/--repeat option accepts values from 0 and complains
for -1. The help section specifies:
-r, --repeat <n> repeat the workload replay N times (-1: infinite)
The -r -1 option raises an error because replay_repeat is defined as
an unsigned int.
In the current implementation, the workload is repeated n times when
-r <n> is used, except when n is 0.
When -r is set to 0, the workload is also repeated once. This happens
because when -r=0, the run_one_test function is not called. (Note that
mutex unlocking, which is essential for child threads spawned to emulate
the workload, happens in run_one_test.) However, mutex unlocking is
still performed in the destroy_tasks function. Thus, -r=0 results in the
workload running once coincidentally.
To clarify and maintain the existing logic for -r >= 1 (which runs the
workload the specified number of times) and to fix the issue with infinite
runs, make -r=0 perform an infinite run.

When using perf timehist, sch delay is only computed for a waking task,
not for a pre empted task. This patches changes sch delay to account for
both. This makes sense as testing scheduling policy need to consider the
effect of scheduling delay globally, not only for waking tasks.
Example of `perf timehist` report before the patch for `stress` task
competing with each other.
First column is wait time, second column sch delay, third column
runtime.
1.492060 [0000] s stress[81] 1.999 0.000 2.000 R next: stress[83]
1.494060 [0000] s stress[83] 2.000 0.000 2.000 R next: stress[81]
1.496060 [0000] s stress[81] 2.000 0.000 2.000 R next: stress[83]
1.498060 [0000] s stress[83] 2.000 0.000 1.999 R next: stress[81]
After the patch, it looks like this (note that all wait time is not zero
anymore):
1.492060 [0000] s stress[81] 1.999 1.999 2.000 R next: stress[83]
1.494060 [0000] s stress[83] 2.000 2.000 2.000 R next: stress[81]

Allow filters to be added to perf top events. One use is to workaround
issues with:
```
$ perf top --uid="$(id -u)"
```
which tries to scan /proc find processes belonging to the uid and can
fail in such a pid terminates between the scan and the
perf_event_open reporting:
```
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 3 (No such process) for event (cycles:P).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
```
A similar filter:
```
$ perf top -e cycles:P --filter "uid == $(id -u)"
```
doesn't fail this way.

Allow the BPF filter to use the uid and gid terms determined by the
bpf_get_current_uid_gid BPF helper. For example, the following will
record the cpu-clock event system wide discarding samples that don't
belong to the current user.
$ perf record -e cpu-clock --filter "uid == $(id -u)" -a sleep 0.1

description, options for latency
Rename 'Switches' to 'Count' and document metrics shown for perf
sched latency output. Also add options possible with perf sched
latency.
Initially, after seeing the output of 'perf sched latency', the term
'Switches' seemed like it's the number of context switches-in for a
particular task, but upon going through the code, it was observed that
it's actually keeping track of number of times a delay was calculated so
that it is used in calculation of the average delay.
Actually, the switches here is a subset of number of context switches-in
because there are some cases where the count is not incremented in
switch-in handler 'add_sched_in_event'. For example when a task is
switched-in while it's state is not ready to run(!= THREAD_WAIT_CPU).
commit d9340c1db3f52460 ("perf sched: Display time in milliseconds,
reorganize output") changed it from the original count to switches.
So, renamed switches to count to make things a bit more clearer and
added the metrics description of latency in the document.

We can't default to doing parallel tests as there are tests that compete
for the same resources and thus clash, for instance tests that put in
place 'perf probe' probes, that clean the probes without regard to other
tests needs, ARM64 coresight tests, Intel PT ones, etc.
So reintroduce --p/--parallel and make -S/--sequential the default.
We need to come up with infrastructure that state which tests can't run
in parallel because they need exclusive access to some resource,
something as simple as "probes" that would then avoid 'perf probe' tests
from running while other such test is running, or make the tests more
resilient, till then we can't use parallel mode as default.
While at it, document all these options in the 'perf test' man page.

Add weight1, weight2 and weight3 fields to -F/--fields and their aliases
like 'ins_lat', 'p_stage_cyc' and 'retire_lat'. Note that they are in
the sort keys too but the difference is that output fields will sum up
the weight values and display the average.
In the sort key, users can see the distribution of weight value and I
think it's confusing we have local vs. global weight for the same weight.
For example, I experiment with mem-loads events to get the weights. On
my laptop, it seems only weight1 field is supported.
$ perf mem record -- perf test -w noploop
Let's look at the noploop function only. It has 7 samples.
$ perf script -F event,ip,sym,weight | grep noploop
# event weight ip sym
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 43 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 48 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 59 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 33 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight
When you use the 'weight' sort key, it'd show entries with a separate
weight value separately. Also note that the first entry has 3 samples
with weight value 38, so they are displayed together and the weight
value is the sum of 3 samples (114 = 38 * 3).
$ perf report -n -s +weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Weight
0.53% 3 perf perf [.] noploop 114
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 59
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 48
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 43
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 33
If you use 'local_weight' sort key, you can see the actual weight.
$ perf report -n -s +local_weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Local Weight
0.53% 3 perf perf [.] noploop 38
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 59
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 48
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 43
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 33
But when you use the -F/--field option instead, you can see the average
weight for the while noploop function (as it won't group samples by
weight value and use the default 'comm,dso,sym' sort keys).
$ perf report -n -F +weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop
Warning:
--fields weight shows the average value unlike in the --sort key.
# Overhead Samples Weight1 Command Shared Object Symbol
1.23% 7 42.4 perf perf [.] noploop
The weight1 field shows the average value:
(38 * 3 + 59 + 48 + 43 + 33) / 7 = 42.4
Also it'd show the warning that 'weight' field has the average value.
Using 'weight1' can remove the warning.

Some platforms have 'cluster' topology and CPUs in the cluster will
share resources like L3 Cache Tag (for HiSilicon Kunpeng SoC) or L2
cache (for Intel Jacobsville). Currently parsing and building cluster
topology have been supported since [1].
perf stat has already supported aggregation for other topologies like
die or socket, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate per-cluster to find
problems like L3T bandwidth contention.
This patch add support for "--per-cluster" option for per-cluster
aggregation. Also update the docs and related test. The output will
be like:
[root@localhost tmp]# perf stat -a -e LLC-load --per-cluster -- sleep 5
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS158 4 1,321,521,570 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS594 4 794,211,453 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1030 4 41,623 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1466 4 41,646 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1902 4 16,863 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2338 4 15,721 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2774 4 22,671 LLC-load
[...]
On a legacy system without cluster or cluster support, the output will
be look like:
[root@localhost perf]# perf stat -a -e cycles --per-cluster -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS0 64 18,011,485 cycles
S7182-D0-CLS0 64 16,548,835 cycles
Note that this patch doesn't mix the cluster information in the outputs
of --per-core to avoid breaking any tools/scripts using it.
Note that perf recently supports "--per-cache" aggregation, but it's not
the same with the cluster although cluster CPUs may share some cache
resources. For example on my machine all clusters within a die share the
same L3 cache:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
0-31
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list
0-3

The example above shows how the module section mappings are all wrong
except for the main .text mapping at 0xffffffffc13a7000.

perf script exposes the evsel_name to python scripts as part of the data
passed to the sample or tracepoint handler function, and it passes the id and
stream_id to the throttled/unthrottled handler functions. This makes matching
throttle events and samples difficult.
To make this possible, this change exposes the sample id and stream_id values
to the script.
