Since commit 69aad6f1(perf tools: Introduce event selectors), only
perf_event_attr::type and ::config are passed to event selector, which
makes perf tool not work correctly.
For example, PEBS does not work because perf_event_attr::precise_ip is
not passed to the syscall.

So that later, we can pass the thread_map instance instead of
(thread_num, thread_map) for things like perf_evsel__open and friends,
just like was done with cpu_map.

Abstracting away the loops needed to create the various event fd handlers.
The users have to pass a confiruged perf->evsel.attr field, which is already
usable after perf_evsel__new (constructor) time, using defaults.
Comes out of the ad-hoc routines in builtin-stat, that now uses it.
Fixed a small silly bug where we were die()ing before killing our
children, dysfunctional family this one 8-)

This patch adds an option (-x/--field-separator) to print counts using a
CSV-style output. The user can pass a custom separator. This makes it very easy
to import counts directly into your favorite spreadsheet without having to
write scripts.

This second version adds the ability to name a separator and uses
field-separator as the long option to be consistent with perf report.
Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b0 and -x can't be
used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B,
add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when
-x is used.

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".
In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.
Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.
The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.
The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.
Examples on a 4-way system:
# perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1

This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to
monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space
allowed.
Examples:
$ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1
$ perf top -C0-4
$ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1
With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected
only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.
The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically.

It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat
to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale
support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for
instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this
feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be
changed. Here is an example.

By default, event inheritance across fork and pthread_create was on but the -i
option of stat and record, which enabled inheritance, led to believe it was off
by default.
This patch fixes this logic by inverting the meaning of the -i option. By
default inheritance is on whether you attach to a process (-p), a thread (-t)
or start a process. If you pass -i, then you turn off inheritance. Turning off
inheritance if you don't need it, helps limit perf resource usage as well.
The patch also fixes perf stat -t xxxx and perf record -t xxxx which did not
start the counters.

OPT_INCR()
Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.
This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).
I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

of thread-wide
Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
--tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.
Usage example is:
# perf top -p 8888
# perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
# perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10
Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
8888.

Command 'perf stat' doesn't enable counters when collecting an
existing (by -p) process or system-wide statistics. Fix the
issue.
Change the condition of fork/exec subcommand. If there is a
subcommand parameter, perf always forks/execs it. The usage
example is:
# perf stat -a sleep 10
So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only use CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.
Another issue is 'perf stat -a' consumes 100% time of a full
single logical cpu. It has a bad impact on running workload.
Fix it by adding a sleep(1) in the while(!done) loop in function
run_perf_stat.

At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.
This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.
This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].
The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.

The ratio between the number of events and the time elapsed makes
sense only if task-clock event is counted. Otherwise it will be
simply a (confusing)
# 0.000 M/sec
This patch outputs the ratio only if task-clock event is counted.
Some test examples of before and after:
Before:

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1367818 branch-misses # 0.000 M/sec
1.001494325 seconds time elapsed
After (without task-clock):

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1135044 branch-misses
1.001370775 seconds time elapsed
After (with task-clock):

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

The current noise computation does:
\Sum abs(n_i - avg(n)) * N^-1.5
Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the
complete sample set available to post-process.
Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be
done by keeping a two sums:
stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 )
For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.

Vince Weaver reported a 'perf stat' measurement overhead in the
count of retired instructions, which can amount to a +6000
instructions inflated count in the reported count.
At present, perf stat creates its counters on the perf process. Thus
the counters count the fork and various other activity in both the
parent and child, such as the resolver overhead for resolving PLT
entries for any libc functions that haven't been called before, such
as execvp.
This reduces the overhead by creating the counters on the child process
after the fork, using a couple of pipes to synchronize so that the
child process waits until the parent has created the counters before
doing the exec. To eliminate the PLT resolution overhead on calling
execvp, this does a dummy execvp first which will always fail.
With this, the overhead of executing a program goes down from over
4800 instructions to about 90 instructions on powerpc (32-bit).
This was measured with a statically-linked program written in
assembler which only does the 3 instructions needed to call _exit(0).

Changed scaled counters from percentage to a multiplicative
factor because the latter is more expressive.
Also aligned the scaling factor, otherwise sometimes it looks
like:

In multi-run (-r/--repeat) printouts, print out the noise of
the wall-clock average as well.
Also, fix a bug in printing out scaled counters: if it was not
scaled then we should not update the average with -1.

Allow a no-counters run. This can be useful to measure just
elapsed wall-clock time - or to assess the raw overhead of perf
stat itself, without running any counters.
