      perf report: Fix branch stack mode cannot be set · fefd2d96
      He Kuang authored 
      When perf.data file is obtained using 'perf record -b', perf report
should use branch stack mode to generate output. But this function is
broken by improper comparison between boolean and constant -1.

before this patch:

      perf buildid-cache: Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE · 8d8c8e4c
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE.

Since the current --remove FILE removes a cache which has
same build-id of given FILE. Since the command takes a
FILE path, it can confuse user who tries to remove cache
about FILE path.

  -----
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf
  Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  # (update the ./perf binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --remove ./perf
  Removing 305bbd1be68f66eca7e2d78db294653031edfa79 ./perf: FAIL
  ./perf wasn't in the cache
  -----
Actually, the --remove's FAIL is not shown, it just silently fails.

So, this patch adds --purge FILE action for such usecase.

perf buildid-cache --purge FILE removes all caches which has same FILE
path.

In other words, it removes all caches including old binaries.

  -----
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf
  Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  # (update the ./perf binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --purge ./perf
  Removing 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  -----

BTW, if you want to purge all the caches, remove ~/.debug/* .

      perf tools: Fix the bash completion problem of 'perf --*' · 7335399a
      Yunlong Song authored 
      The perf-completion.sh uses a predefined string '--help --version
--exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --perf-dir --work-tree
--debugfs-dir' for the bash completion of 'perf --*', which has two
problems:

 Problem 1: If the options of perf are changed (see handle_options() in
 perf.c), the perf-completion.sh has to be changed at the same time. If
 not, the bash completion of 'perf --*' and the options which perf
 really supports will be inconsistent.

 Problem 2: When typing another single character after 'perf --', e.g.
 'h', and hit TAB key to get the bash completion of 'perf --h', the
 character 'h' disappears at once. This is not what we want, we wish the
 bash completion can return '--help --html-path' and then we can
 continue to choose one.

 To solve this problem, we add '--list-opts' to perf, which now supports
 'perf --list-opts' directly, and its result can be used in bash
 completion now.

Example:

 Before this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 $ perf --                  <-- 'h' disappears and no required result

 After this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 --help       --html-path   <-- the required result

      perf list: Extend raw-dump to certain kind of events · 5ef803ee
      Yunlong Song authored 
      Extend 'perf list --raw-dump' to 'perf list --raw-dump [hw|sw|cache
|tracepoint|pmu|event_glob]' in order to show the raw-dump of a certain
kind of events rather than all of the events.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf list --raw-dump hw
 branch-instructions branch-misses bus-cycles cache-misses
 cache-references cpu-cycles instructions stalled-cycles-backend
 stalled-cycles-frontend
 alignment-faults context-switches cpu-clock cpu-migrations
 emulation-faults major-faults minor-faults page-faults task-clock
 ...
 ...
 writeback:writeback_thread_start writeback:writeback_thread_stop
 writeback:writeback_wait_iff_congested
 writeback:writeback_wake_background writeback:writeback_wake_thread

As shown above, all of the events are printed.

After this patch:

 $ perf list --raw-dump hw
 branch-instructions branch-misses bus-cycles cache-misses
 cache-references cpu-cycles instructions stalled-cycles-backend
 stalled-cycles-frontend

As shown above, only the hw events are printed.

      perf tools: Remove the '--(null)' long_name for --list-opts · 3ef1e65c
      Yunlong Song authored 
      If the long_name of a 'struct option' is defined as NULL, --list-opts
will incorrectly print '--(null)' in its output. As a result, '--(null)'
will finally appear in the case of bash completion, e.g. 'perf record
--'.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf record --list-opts

 --event --filter --pid --tid --realtime --no-buffering --raw-samples
 --all-cpus --cpu --count --output --no-inherit --freq --mmap-pages
 --group --(null) --call-graph --verbose --quiet --stat --data
 --timestamp --period --no-samples --no-buildid-cache --no-buildid
 --cgroup --delay --uid --branch-any --branch-filter --weight
 --transaction --per-thread --intr-regs

After this patch:

 $ perf record --list-opts

 --event --filter --pid --tid --realtime --no-buffering --raw-samples
 --all-cpus --cpu --count --output --no-inherit --freq --mmap-pages
 --group --call-graph --verbose --quiet --stat --data --timestamp
 --period --no-samples --no-buildid-cache --no-buildid --cgroup --delay
 --uid --branch-any --branch-filter --weight --transaction --per-thread

      perf list: Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix · 16114951
      Yunlong Song authored 
      If somebody happens to name an event with the beginning of 'tracepoint'
(e.g. tracepoint_foo), then it will never be showed with perf list
event_glob, thus we parse the argument 'tracepoint' more carefully for
accuracy.

Example:

Before this patch:

 $ perf list tracepoint_foo:*

   jbd2:jbd2_start_commit                             [Tracepoint event]
   jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking                           [Tracepoint event]
   jbd2:jbd2_run_stats                                [Tracepoint event]
   block:block_rq_issue                               [Tracepoint event]
   block:block_bio_complete                           [Tracepoint event]
   block:block_bio_backmerge                          [Tracepoint event]
   block:block_getrq                                  [Tracepoint event]
   ...                                                ...

As shown above, all of the tracepoint events are printed. In fact, the
command's real intention is to print the events of tracepoint_foo.

After this patch:

 $ perf list tracepoint_foo:*

   tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_enter                        [Tracepoint event]
   tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_exit                         [Tracepoint event]

As shown above, only the events of tracepoint_foo are printed.

      perf data: Fix sentinel setting for data_cmds array · 1f924c29
      Yunlong Song authored 
      The recent new patch "perf tools: Add new 'perf data' command" (commit
2245bf14 in acme's git repo perf/core) has caused a building error when
compiling the source code of perf:

 cc1: warnings being treated as errors

      perf diff: Support for different binaries · 94ba462d
      Kan Liang authored 
      Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because
it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data
comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names.

Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names.  The
commit as below can look for a pair by name.

604c5c92 (perf diff: Change the default sort order to "dso,symbol")
However, at that time, perf diff used a global list of dsos. That means
the binaries which has same name can only be loaded once. That's a
problem for comparing different binaries.

For example, we have an old binary and an updated binary. They very
likely have same name and most of the functions, so only dsos from old
binary will be loaded. When processing the data from updated binary,
perf still use the symbol information from old binary. That's wrong.

Then the commit as below used IP to replace symbol name.
9c443dfd ("perf diff: Fix support for all --sort combinations")
>From that time, perf diff starts to compare the symbol address.

The global dsos is discarded from a patch in 2010.
a1645ce1 ("perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance
from host")
However, at that time, perf diff already compared by address. So perf
diff cannot work for different binaries as well.

This patch actually rolls back the perf diff to original design. The
document is also changed, so everybody knows the original design is to
compare the symbol names.

Here are some examples:

The only difference between example_v1.c and example_v2.c is the
location of f2 and f3. There is no change in behavior, but the previous
perf diff display the wrong differential profile.

example_v1.c
noinline void f3(void)
{
        volatile int i;
        for (i = 0; i < 10000;) {

                if(i%2)
                        i++;
                else
                        i++;
        }
}

noinline void f2(void)
{
        volatile int a = 100, b, c;
        for (b = 0; b < 10000; b++)
                c = a * b;

}

noinline void f1(void)
{
                f2();
                f3();
}

int main()
{
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
                f1();
}

example_v2.c
noinline void f2(void)
{
        volatile int a = 100, b, c;
        for (b = 0; b < 10000; b++)
                c = a * b;
}

noinline void f3(void)
{
        volatile int i;
        for (i = 0; i < 10000;) {
                if(i%2)
                        i++;
                else
                        i++;
        }
}

noinline void f1(void)
{
                f2();
                f3();
}

{

      perf buildid-cache: Add new buildid cache if update target is not cached · a50d11a1
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Add new buildid cache if the update target file is not cached.

This can happen when an old binary is replaced by new one after caching
the old one. In this case, user sees his operation just failed.

But it does not look straight, since user just pass the binary "path",
not "build-id".

  ----
  # ./perf buildid-cache --add ./perf
  (update ./perf to new binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache --update ./perf
  ./perf wasn't in the cache
  #
  ----

This patch adds given new binary to cache if the new binary is
not cached. So we'll not see the above error.

  ----
  # ./perf buildid-cache --add ./perf
  (update ./perf to new binary)

sample->raw_data is guaranteed to not be 8-byte aligned because it is preceded
by the size as a u3. So accessing raw data with an extended load instruction causes
the SIGBUS. Resolve by using memcpy to a temporary variable of appropriate size.
