perf llvm: Pass number of configured CPUs to clang compiler
This patch introduces a new macro "__NR_CPUS__" to perf's embedded clang
compiler, which represent the number of configured CPUs in this system.
BPF programs can use this macro to create a map with the same number of
system CPUs. For example:
Those tests take a long time and sometimes we stop it, so allow randomly
shuffling the tests so that we have a better chance of running more of
them in partial 'make build-test' runs.
Using it just on the 'build-test' target, i.e.:
make -C tools/perf build-test
Is equivalent to:
make SHUF=1 -C tools/perf -f tests/make

perf bpf: Collect perf_evsel in BPF object files
This patch creates a 'struct perf_evsel' for every probe in a BPF object
file(s) and fills 'struct evlist' with them. The previously introduced
dummy event is now removed. After this patch, the following command:
# perf record --event filter.o ls
Can trace on each of the probes defined in filter.o.
The core of this patch is bpf__foreach_tev(), which calls a callback
function for each 'struct probe_trace_event' event for a bpf program
with each associated file descriptors. The add_bpf_event() callback
creates evsels by calling parse_events_add_tracepoint().
Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__foreach_tev() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid build errors.

perf tools: Create probe points for BPF programs
This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the
section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event'
is stored into program private data for further using.
By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during
event parsing.
To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so
even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing
points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before
bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger
bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed.

Cool, we need to provide some better hints, "kprobe_events" is too low
level, one doesn't strictly need to know the precise details of how
these things are put in place, so something that shows the command
needed to fix the permissions would be more helpful.

perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event
By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.
After applying this patch, commands like:
# perf record --event foo.o sleep
become possible.
However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the
evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program
attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to
be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list,
this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be
removed when probing and extracting code is ready.

perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf
By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build
libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.
The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.
MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.
Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.
The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.
Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.
tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

perf symbols: Fix endless loop in dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore
Currently we split symbols based on the map comparison, but symbols are stored
within dso objects and maps could point into same dso objects (kernel maps).
Hence we could end up changing rbtree we are currently iterating and mess it
up. It's easily reproduced on s390x by running:
$ perf record -a -- sleep 3
$ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits
The fix is to compare dso objects instead.

perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page
Commit:
b20112edeadf ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock")
allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much
as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift
have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value
32, the type must be u64.
In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps
that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of
granularity so they look like they are not changing at all.
Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly.
Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code
based on it will be more future-proof.

Build fixes:
- Fix strict-aliasing breakage with gcc 4.4 in the READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code
adopted from the kernel tree, that builds with -fno-strict-aliasing while
tools/perf/ uses -Wstrict-aliasing=3. (Jiri Olsa)
- Fix unw_word_t pointer casts in code using libunwind for callchains,
fixing the build in at least 32-bit MIPS systems. (Rabin Vicent)
- Work around cross compile build problems related to fixdep. (Jiri Olsa)

tools build: Fix cross compile build
He Kuang the new fixdep tool breaks cross compiling. The reason is it
wouldn't get compiled under host arch, but under cross arch and failed
to run.
We need to add support for host side tools build, meanwhile disabling
fixdep usage for cross arch builds.

tools include: Fix strict-aliasing rules breakage

util/annotate.c: In function ‘disasm__purge’:
linux-next/tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66: error: dereferencing
pointer ‘res.41’ does break strict-aliasing rules
The reason is READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code we took from kernel sources. They
intentionaly break aliasing rules. While this is ok for kernel because it's
built with -fno-strict-aliasing, it breaks perf which is build with
-Wstrict-aliasing=3.
Using extra __may_alias__ type to allow aliasing in this case.

perf hists browser: Add 'm' key for context menu display
With horizontal scrolling, the left/right arrow keys are used to scroll
columns and ENTER/ESC keys are used to enter/exit menu. However if
callchain is recorded, the ENTER key is used to toggle callchain
expansion so there's no way to display menu. Use 'm' key to display the
menu for this case.

perf symbols: Try the .debug/ DSO cache as a last resort
Not as the first attempt at finding a vmlinux for the running kernel,
this way we get a more informative filename to present in tools, it will
check that the build-id is the same as the one previously loaded in the
DSO in dso->build_id, reading from /sys/kernel/notes, for instance.
E.g. in the annotation TUI, going from 'perf top', for the scsi_sg_alloc
kernel function, in the first line:
perf tools: Fix build break on powerpc due to sample_reg_masks
perf_regs.c does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS is false.
So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get picked up.
Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition
error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version
in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that
function.

xprtrdma: disconnect and flush cqs before freeing buffers
The commit itself does not appear to be buggy per se, but it is exposing
a bug in ext4 (and Ted thinks ext3 too, but we solved that by getting
rid of it). It's too late in the release cycle to really worry about
this, even if Dave Hansen has a patch that may actually fix the
underlying ext4 problem. We can (and should) revisit this for the next
release.
The problem is that moving the prefaulting later now exposes a special
case with partially successful writes that isn't handled correctly. And
the prefaulting likely isn't normally even that much of a performance
issue - it looks like at least one reason Dave saw this in his
performance tests is that he also ran them on Skylake that now supports
the new SMAP code, which makes the normally very cheap user space
prefaulting noticeably more expensive.
