I'm surprised this remained undocumented since at least 2011. And it is
actually a very useful switch, as Steve and I came to realize recently.

commit 940db6dcd3 upstream.
When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete
parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf
on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as
.scale or .per-pkg).
Continue when some attribute is unparseable.
This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older
versions to avoid problems with newer kernels.

commit b5cabbcbd1 upstream.
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:
Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:
The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

print_aggr() fails to print per-core/per-socket statistics after commit
582ec0829b ("perf stat: Fix per-socket output bug for uncore events")
if events have differnt cpus. Because in print_aggr(), aggr_get_id needs
index (not cpu id) to find core/pkg id. Also, evsel cpu maps should be
used to get aggregated id.
Here is an example:

cpumask 0,18)
$ perf stat -e cycles,uncore_imc_0/cas_count_read/ -C0,18 --per-core sleep 2
Without this patch, it failes to get CPU 18 result.

S1-C0 0 <not counted> cycles

With this patch, it can get both CPU0 and CPU18 result.

When we introduce a new sort key, we need to update the
hists__calc_col_len() function accordingly, otherwise the width
will be limited to strlen(header).
We can't update it when obtaining a line value for a column (for
instance, in sort__srcline_cmp()), because we reset it all when doing a
resort (see hists__output_recalc_col_len()), so we need to, from what is
in the hist_entry fields, set each of the column widths.

Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
Date: Mon Mar 17 18:18:54 2014 -0300
perf report: Merge al->filtered with hist_entry->filtered
We stopped dropping samples for things filtered via the --comms, --dsos,
--symbols, etc, i.e. things marked as filtered in the symbol resolution
routines (thread__find_addr_map(), perf_event__preprocess_sample(),
etc).
But then, in:
commit 268397cb2a
Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
Date: Tue Apr 22 14:49:31 2014 +0900
perf top/tui: Update nr_entries properly after a filter is applied
We don't take into account entries that were filtered in
perf_event__preprocess_sample() and friends, which leads to
inconsistency in the browser seek routines, that expects the number of
hist_entry->filtered entries to match what it thinks is the number of
unfiltered, browsable entries.
So, for instance, when we do:
perf top --symbols ___non_existent_symbol___
the hist_browser__nr_entries() routine thinks there are no filters in
place, uses the hists->nr_entries but all entries are filtered, leading
to a segfault.
Tested with:
perf top --symbols malloc,free --percentage=relative
Freezing, by pressing 'f', at any time and doing the math on the
percentages ends up with 100%, ditto for:
perf top --dsos libpthread-2.20.so,libxul.so --percentage=relative
Both were segfaulting, all fixed now.
More work needed to do away with checking if filters are in place, we
should just use the nr_non_filtered_samples counter, no need to
conditionally use it or hists.nr_filter, as what the browser does is
just show unfiltered stuff. An audit of how it is being accounted is
needed, this is the minimal fix.

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,

filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non

But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,

So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in

I could reproduce the issue and in my case it was caused by one CPU
(mmap) being behind during record and userspace mmap reader seeing the
data after other CPUs data were already stored.
This is expected under some circumstances because we need to limit the
number of events that we queue for reordering when we receive a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND or when we force flush due to memory
pressure.

The function machine__get_kernel_start_addr() was taking the first symbol
of kallsyms as the start address. This is incorrect in certain cases
where the first symbol is something at 0, while the actual kernel
functions begin at a later point (e.g. 0x80200000).
This patch fixes machine__get_kernel_start_addr() to search for the
symbol "_text" or "_stext", which marks the beginning of kernel mapping.
This was already being done in machine__create_kernel_maps(). Thus, this
patch is just a refactor, to move that code into
machine__get_kernel_start_addr().

When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user
specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no
default value. This worked because most of events don't have default
value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not
desirable to change it for those events).
However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it
cannot change the value for those events. Fix it by allowing override
the default value if user gives one of the options.

Improve error messages of 'perf probe --line' mode.
Currently 'perf probe' shows the "Debuginfo analysis failed" message with
an error code when the given symbol is not found:
-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----
But -2 (-ENOENT) means that the given source line or function was not
found. With this patch, 'perf probe' shows the correct error message:
-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Specified source line is not found.
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----
There is also another debug error code is shown in the same function
after get_real_path(). This removes that too.

Fix an error message when failed to find given address in --vars
mode.
Without this fix, perf probe -V doesn't show the final "Error"
message if it fails to find given source line. Moreover, it
tells it fails to find "variables" instead of the source line.
-----
# perf probe -V foo@bar
Failed to find variables at foo@bar (0)
-----
The result also shows mysterious error code. Actually the error
returns 0 or -ENOENT means that it just fails to find the address
of given source line. (0 means there is no matching address,
and -ENOENT means there is an entry(DIE) but it has no instance,
e.g. an empty inlined function)
This fixes it to show what happened and the final error message
as below.
-----
# perf probe -V foo@bar
Failed to find the address of foo@bar
Error: Failed to show vars.

Show error code and description only in verbose mode if 'perf probe'
command failed.
Current 'perf probe' shows error code with final error message, and that
is meaningless for many users.
This changes error messages to show the error code and its description
only in verbose mode (-v option).
Without this patch:
-----
# perf probe -a do_execve@hoge
Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.
Error: Failed to add events. (-2)
-----
With this patch, normally the message doesn't show the misterious error
number:
-----
# perf probe -a do_execve@hoge
Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
-----
And in verbose mode, it also shows additional error messages as below:
-----
# perf probe -va do_execve@hoge

Failed to find 'result' in this function.

The first message is correct, but the second one is not, since we didn't
fail to find a variable but fails to find the member of given variable.

With this patch, the error message shows only the first one. And if we
really failed to find given variable, it tells us so.

In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a
particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data
address.
One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique
cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting
them can reveal cache contention.
This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group
entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it.
The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine
if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared.
The alogortithm is as follows:
o group cpumodes together
o group entries with discovered maps together
o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers
o if userspace anon, then sort on pid
o sort on cachelines based on data addresses
The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'.
Sample output:
#
# Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp'
# Total weight : 2534
# Sort order : dcacheline,pid
#
# Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid

Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column
from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning. Not sure what the problem is.

Re-enable the mmap2 interface as we will have a user soon.
Since things have changed since perf disabled mmap2, small tweaks
to the revert had to be done:
o commit 9d4ecc88 forced (n!=8) to become (n<7)
o a new libunwind test needed updating to use mmap2 interface

With the Sebastian's change of handling num array argument (of raw
syscall enter), the script still failed to work like this:
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
$ perf script -g python
$ perf script -s perf-script.py
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "perf-script.py", line 42, in raw_syscalls__sys_enter
(id, args),
TypeError: %u format: a number is required, not list
Fatal Python error: problem in Python trace event handler
Aborted (core dumped)
This is because the generated script tries to print the array arg as
unsigned integer (%u). Since the python seems to convert arguments to
strings by default, just using %s solved the problem for me.

Coming in v3.16, trace events will be able to save bitmasks in raw
format in the ring buffer and output it with the __get_bitmask() macro.
In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle
the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in
the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to
what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every
4 bytes (8 characters).
This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently.
The first user is the thermal:thermal_power_limit event which has the
following output:
thermal_power_limit: cpus=0000000f freq=1900000 cdev_state=0 power=5252
