More needs to be done to make it more compact, i.e. elide the '-f Makefile',
remove that 'cd . &&', move the DESTDIR= and O= to the end, as they don't
convey that much information besides the fact that they are being set to some
random directory just for this build, move the meat, i.e. the meaningful
feature disabling bits to the start, etc.

      perf kvm/powerpc: Add support for HCALL reasons · 78e6c39b
      Hemant Kumar authored 
      Powerpc provides hcall events that also provides insights into guest
behaviour. Enhance perf kvm stat to record and analyze hcall events.

 - To trace hcall events :
  perf kvm stat record

 - To show the results :
  perf kvm stat report --event=hcall

The result shows the number of hypervisor calls from the guest grouped
by their respective reasons displayed with the frequency.

This patch makes use of two additional tracepoints
"kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_enter" and "kvm_hv:kvm_hcall_exit". To map the hcall
codes to their respective names, it needs a mapping. Such mapping is
added in this patch in book3s_hcalls.h.

 # pgrep qemu
A sample output :
19378
60515

2 VMs running.

 # perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624

      perf kvm/powerpc: Port perf kvm stat to powerpc · 066d3593
      Hemant Kumar authored 
      perf kvm can be used to analyze guest exit reasons. This support already
exists in x86. Hence, porting it to powerpc.

 - To trace KVM events :
  perf kvm stat record
  If many guests are running, we can track for a specific guest by using
  --pid as in : perf kvm stat record --pid <pid>

 - To see the results :
  perf kvm stat report

The result shows the number of exits (from the guest context to
host/hypervisor context) grouped by their respective exit reasons with
their frequency.

Since, different powerpc machines have different KVM tracepoints, this
patch discovers the available tracepoints dynamically and accordingly
looks for them. If any single tracepoint is not present, this support
won't be enabled for reporting. To record, this will fail if any of the
events we are looking to record isn't available.  Right now, its only
supported on PowerPC Book3S_HV architectures.

To analyze the different exits, group them and present them (in a slight
descriptive way) to the user, we need a mapping between the "exit code"
(dumped in the kvm_guest_exit tracepoint data) and to its related
Interrupt vector description (exit reason). This patch adds this mapping
in book3s_hv_exits.h.

It records on two available KVM tracepoints for book3s_hv:

"kvm_hv:kvm_guest_exit" and "kvm_hv:kvm_guest_enter".

Here is a sample o/p:
 # pgrep qemu
19378
60515

2 Guests are running on the host.

 # perf kvm stat record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.153 MB perf.data.guest (39624
samples) ]

 # perf kvm stat report -p 60515

      perf kvm/{x86,s390}: Remove const from kvm_events_tp · 48deaa74
      Hemant Kumar authored 
      This patch removes the "const" qualifier from kvm_events_tp declaration
to account for the fact that some architectures may need to update this
variable dynamically. For instance, powerpc will need to update this
variable dynamically depending on the machine type.

      Hemant Kumar authored 
      Its better to remove the dependency on uapi/kvm_perf.h to allow dynamic
discovery of kvm events (if its needed). To do this, some extern
variables have been introduced with which we can keep the generic
functions generic.

      'perf record' knows whether buildid cache is enabled (via
--no-no-buildid-cache) deliberately. Buildid cache can be turned off in
some situations.

Output switching support needs this feature to turn off buildid cache

      perf test: Improve bp_signal · 8fd34e1c
      Wang Nan authored 
      Will Deacon [1] has some question on patch [2]. This patch improves
test__bp_signal so we can test:

 1. A watchpoint and a breakpoint that fire on the same instruction
 2. Nested signals

Test result:

 On x86_64 and ARM64 (result are similar with patch [2] on ARM64):

  # ./perf test -v signal
  17: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler                  :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 10213
  count1 1, count2 3, count3 2, overflow 3, overflows_2 3
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  Test breakpoint overflow signal handler: Ok

So at least 2 cases Will doubted are handled correctly.

      perf test: Check environment before start real BPF test · 6a7d550e
      Wang Nan authored 
      Copying perf to old kernel system results:

  # perf test bpf
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : FAILED!
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Skip

However, in case when kernel doesn't support a test case it should
return 'Skip', 'FAILED!' should be reserved for kernel tests for when
the kernel supports a feature that then fails to work as advertised.

This patch checks environment before real testcase.

      perf buildid: Fix cpumode of buildid event · fd786fac
      Wang Nan authored 
      There is a nasty confusion that, for kernel module, dso->kernel is not
necessary to be DSO_TYPE_KERNEL or DSO_TYPE_GUEST_KERNEL.  These two
enums are for vmlinux. See thread [1]. We tried to fix this part but it
is costy.

Code machine__write_buildid_table() is another unfortunate function fall
into this trap that, when issuing buildid event for a kernel module,
cpumode it gives to the event is PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER, not
PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL.

However, even with this bug, most of the time it doesn't causes real
problem. I find this issue when trying to use a perf before commit
3d39ac53 ("perf machine: No need to have two DSOs lists") to parse a
perf.data generated by newest perf.

      perf tools: Speed up build-tests by reducing the number of builds tested · a639a623
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      The 'tools/perf/test/make' makefile has in its default, 'all' target
builds that will pollute the source code directory, i.e. that will not
use O= variable.

The 'build-test' should be run as often as possible, preferrably after
each non strictly non-code commit, so speed it up by selecting just
the O= targets.

Furthermore it tests both the Makefile.perf file, that is normally
driven by the main Makefile, and the Makefile, reduce the time in half
by having just MK=Makefile, the most usual, tested by 'build-test'.

Please run:

  make -C tools/perf -f tests/make

from time to time for testing also the in-place build tests.

      perf build: Use feature dump file for build-test · 79191c89
      Wang Nan authored 
      To prevent the feature check tests to run repeately, one time per
'tests/make' target/test, this patch utilizes the previously introduced
'feature-dump' make target and FEATURES_DUMP variable, making sure that
the feature checkers run only once when doing build-test for normal test
cases.

However, since standard users doesn't reuse features dump result, we'd
better give an option to check their behaviors. The above feature
should be used to make build-test faster only. Only utilize it for
build-test.
