Add a 'percore' event qualifier, like cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/, that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core. We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread. So we need to support this per-core counting on a event level. This can be implemented in only the user tool, no kernel support needed. v4: --- 1. Add Arnaldo's patch which updates the documentation for this new qualifier. 2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch v3: --- Simplify the code according to Jiri's comments. Before: "return term->val.percore ? true : false;" Now: "return term->val.percore;" v2: --- Change the qualifier name from 'coresum' to 'percore' according to comments from Jiri and Andi.

'perf report' displays recorded data on the screen and emits warnings and debug messages in the status line (last one on screen). perf also supports the possibility to write all debug messages to stderr (instead of writing them to the status line). This is achieved with the following command: # ./perf --debug stderr=1 report -vvvvv -i ~/fast.data 2>/tmp/2 # ll /tmp/2 -rw-rw-r-- 1 tmricht tmricht 5420835 May 7 13:46 /tmp/2 # The usage of variable stderr=1 is not documented, so add it to the perf man page.

The sample timestamp is updated to ensure that the timestamp represents the time of the sample and not a branch that the decoder is still walking towards. The sample timestamp is updated when the decoder returns, but the decoder does not return for non-taken branches. Update the sample timestamp then also. Note that commit 3f04d98e ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4 stable tree as commit a4ebb58f ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp").

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently hasn't reached. The intel_pt_sample_time() function decides which is which, but was not handling TNT packets exactly correctly. In the case of TNT, the timestamp applies to the first branch, so the decoder must first walk to that branch. That means intel_pt_sample_time() should return true for TNT, and this patch makes that change. However, if the first branch is a non-taken branch (i.e. a 'N'), then intel_pt_sample_time() needs to return false for subsequent taken branches in the same TNT packet. To handle that, introduce a new state INTEL_PT_STATE_TNT_CONT to distinguish the cases. Note that commit 3f04d98e ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp") was also a stable fix and appears, for example, in v4.4 stable tree as commit a4ebb58f ("perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp").

The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the timestamp goes forwards. Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods specified as a count of instructions. Example: Before: $ perf script --itrace=i10us ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222583: 3270 instructions:u: 7fac71e2e494 __GI___tunables_init+0xf4 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 30902 instructions:u: 7fac71e2da0f _dl_cache_libcmp+0x2f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 10 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 8 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ea _dl_cache_libcmp+0xa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 14 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ea _dl_cache_libcmp+0xa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 6 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 14 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 4 instructions:u: 7fac71e2dab2 _dl_cache_libcmp+0xd2 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222728: 16423 instructions:u: 7fac71e2477a _dl_map_object_deps+0x1ba (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222734: 12731 instructions:u: 7fac71e27938 _dl_name_match_p+0x68 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ...

There may be different register mask for use with intr or user on some platforms, e.g. Icelake. Add weak functions arch__intr_reg_mask() and arch__user_reg_mask() to return intr and user register mask respectively. Check mask before printing or comparing the register name. Generic code always return PERF_REGS_MASK. No functional change. Suggested-by:

zstd_init(, comp_level = 0) initializes decompression part of API only hat now consists of zstd_decompress_stream() function. The perf.data PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records are decompressed using zstd_decompress_stream() function into a linked list of mmaped memory regions of mmap_comp_len size (struct decomp). After decompression of one COMPRESSED record its content is iterated and fetched for usual processing. The mmaped memory regions with decompressed events are kept in the linked list till the tool process termination. When dumping raw records (e.g., perf report -D --header) file offsets of events from compressed records are printed as zero. Committer notes: Since now we have support for processing PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED, we see none, in raw form, like we saw in the previous patch commiter notes, they were decompressed into the usual PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,COMM,etc} records, we only see the stats for those PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED events, and since I used the file generated in the commiter notes for the previous patch, there they are, 2 compressed records: $ perf report --header-only | grep cmdline # cmdline : /home/acme/bin/perf record -z2 sleep 1 $ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS COMPRESSED events: 2 COMPRESSED events: 0 $ perf report --stdio # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 15 of event 'cycles:u' # Event count (approx.): 962227 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... ................ ........................... # 46.99% sleep libc-2.28.so [.] _dl_addr 29.24% sleep [unknown] [k] 0xffffffffaea00a67 16.45% sleep libc-2.28.so [.] __GI__IO_un_link.part.1 5.92% sleep ld-2.28.so [.] _dl_setup_hash 1.40% sleep libc-2.28.so [.] __nanosleep 0.00% sleep [unknown] [k] 0xffffffffaea00163 # # (Tip: To see callchains in a more compact form: perf report -g folded) # $ Signed-off-by:

Committer note: Split from a larger patch, this only dumps PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED as unhandled, so that when we introduce the record part in the next patch, we don't see unhandled events when using 'perf record -D'. Changed it so that we dump the event if the handler is just a stub, i.e. for the case where we don't have ZSTD linked but we're processing a perf.data file generated by a tool with that linked. Also when failing to decompress we can't just dump the uncompressed event and return 0, we have to propagate the error. Signed-off-by:

Compression is implemented using the functions from zstd.c. As the memory to operate on the compression uses mmap->aio.data[] buffers. If Zstd streaming compression API fails for some reason the data to be compressed are just copied into the memory buffers using plain memcpy(). Compressed trace frame consists of an array of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records. Each element of the array is not longer that PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE and consists of perf_event_header followed by the compressed chunk that is decompressed on the loading stage. perf_mmap__aio_push() is replaced by perf_mmap__push() which is now used in the both serial and AIO streaming cases. perf_mmap__push() is extended with positive return values to signify absence of data ready for processing.

Implemented functions are based on Zstd streaming compression API. The functions are used in runtime to compress data that come from mmaped kernel buffer. zstd_init(), zstd_fini() are used for initialization and finalization to allocate and deallocate internal zstd objects. zstd_compress_stream_to_records() is used to convert parts of mmaped kernel buffer into an array of PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records.
