   [ This is to reduce the surface contact with libtraceevents and make clear what
     is that the perf tools needs from that lib: so far parsing the common and per
     event fields. ]

      Merge branch 'tip/perf/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into perf/core

Pull ftrace updates from Steve Rostedt:

" This patch series extends ftrace function tracing utility to be
  more dynamic for its users. It allows for data passing to the callback
  functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger
  at function entry.

  The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use ftrace
  as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an ftrace nop.
  With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going through lots of
  iterations, we finally came up with a good solution. "

      perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events · 6a4bb04c
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.

The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.

With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
  # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls

resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.

All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.

Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
   -e instructions ls

  # 1 group
  # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
   -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls

It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:

  # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'

resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

      perf tools: Add support to update event modifier · f5b1135b
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Adding support to update already defined event's attribute with
event modifier. This change will allow to use group modifier as
an update to the existing event modifiers.

Adding 'add' parameter to the parse_events__modifier_event function.
Calling it with 'add' = false/true, the event modifier is
initialized/updated respectively.

Added exclude_GH flag to evsel struct, because we need to remember
if one of 'GH' modifiers was used for event. The reason is that the
default settings for exclude_guest is 1 and during the group
modifier processing we have no other way of knowing if it was set
by default or by event modifier.

Keeping the current behaviour, that any event/group modifier reset
the defaults for exclude_host (0) and exclude_guest (1).

      perf tools: Add support to parse event group syntax · 89efb029
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Adding scanner/parser bits to parse event groups.

The grammar for group is:
  groups:      groups ',' group | group
  group:       group_name '{' events '}' group_mod
  group_name:  name | empty
  group_mod:   ':' group_mods | empty
  group_mods:  event_mod

It's possible to use standard event modifier as a modifier
for group. It'll be used as an update to existing event
modifiers.

It's necessary to use quoting ("'\) when specifying group on
command line, since {} characters are interpreted by most of
the shells.

It is now possible to specify groups in event syntax like:

  '{cycles,faults}'
   - anonymous group

  'group1{cycles,faults}
   - group with name 'group1'

  '{cycles,faults}:k
   - anonymous group with event modifier 'k'

  '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}'
   - two anonymous groups

The grouping functionality itself is coming shortly.

      perf tools: Add missing files to build the python binding · a6191836
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      Changeset 0f6a3015:
"perf tools: Support user regs and stack in sample parsing"

uses hweight_long in evsel.c, so we need to drag util/hweight.c
to the python binding.

Ditto for ee8dd3ca:
"perf tools: Change strlist to use the new rblist"

where we need to add util/rblist.c.

Now twatch.py works again:

      perf symbols: Use both runtime and debug images · 3aafe5ae
      Cody P Schafer authored 
      We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.

This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.

Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).

Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.

This fixes 2 issues:

 - Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
   installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
   function descriptors.

 - On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
   that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
   dynsym section.

Assumptions:

 - If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
   image with a dynsym section.

 - This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
   (ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

      perf symbols: Convert dso__load_syms to take 2 symsrc's · 261360b6
      Cody P Schafer authored 
      To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
(which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).

The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
pass both runtime & debug images.

Assumptions made here:

 - The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
   both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.

 - The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
   image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.

Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).
