      perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys · 508be0df
      Andi Kleen authored 
      Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show
the source lines of a branch.

That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen
in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to
associate it with cycle counts:

  % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall
  % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict

      perf tools: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace · a29d5c9b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So match the kernel support and validate chain->nr taking into account
both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.

So allocate a bunch of extra entries for contexts, and do the accounting
via perf_callchain_entry_ctx struct members.

A new sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack is also
introduced for investigating possible bugs in the callchain
implementation by some arch.

      perf core: Add a 'nr' field to perf_event_callchain_context · 3b1fff08
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We will use it to count how many addresses are in the entry->ip[] array,
excluding PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc} entries, so that we can really
return the number of entries specified by the user via the relevant
sysctl, kernel.perf_event_max_contexts, or via the per event
perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob.

This way we keep the perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr meaning, that is the
number of entries, be it real addresses or PERF_CONTEXT_ entries, while
honouring the max_stack knobs, i.e. the end result will be max_stack
entries if we have at least that many entries in a given stack trace.

      So that it can be used for other stack related knobs, such as the
upcoming one to tweak the max number of of contexts per stack sample.

In all those cases we can only change the value if there are no perf
sessions collecting stacks, so they need to grab that mutex, etc.

      perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets · a1f3d567
      Namhyung Kim authored 
      Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default.  But
it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep
N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime).  Changing
to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.

      Currently only the task-clock event updates the runtime_nsec so it

      He Kuang authored 
      When unwinding callchains on a different machine, vdso info should be
available so the unwind process won't be interrupted if address falls
into vdso region. But in most cases, the addresses of sample events are
not in vdso range, the buildid of a zero hit vdso won't be stored into
perf.data.

This patch stores vdso buildid regardless of whether the vdso is hit or
not.
