tracing: Add boiler plate for subsystem filter
The system filter can be used to set multiple event filters that
exist within the system. But currently it displays the last filter
written that does not necessarily correspond to the filters within
the system. The system filter itself is not used to filter any events.
The system filter is just a means to set filters of the events within
it.
Because this causes an ambiguous state when the system filter reads
a filter string but the events within the system have different strings
it is best to just show a boiler plate:
### global filter ###
# Use this to set filters for multiple events.
# Only events with the given fields will be affected.
# If no events are modified, an error message will be displayed here.
If an error occurs while writing to the system filter, the system
filter will replace the boiler plate with the error message as it
currently does.

perf tools: Fix tracing info recording
Fixing the way the tracing information is stored within record command.
The current implementation is causing issues for pipe output.
Following commands fail currently:
perf script syscall-counts ls
perf record -e syscalls:sys_exit_read ls | ./perf report -i -
The tracing information is part of the perf data file. It contains
several files from within the tracing debugfs and procs directories.
Beside some static header files, for each tracing event the format
file is added. The /proc/kallsyms file is also added.
The tracing data are stored with preceeding size. This is causing some
dificulties for pipe output, since there's no way to tell debugfs/proc
file size before reading it. So, for pipe output, all the debugfs files
were read twice. Once to get the overall size and once to store the
content itself. This can cause problem in case any of these file
changed, within the storage time.
To fix this behaviour and ensure the integrity of the tracing data, we:
- read debugfs/proc file into the temp file
- get temp file size and dump it to the pipe
- dump the temp file contents to the pipe

tracing: Fix returning of duplicate data after EOF in trace_pipe_raw
The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file
is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle
the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from
the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the
next read will continue where the data left off.
After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of
the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again
after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page
is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This
will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return
duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards
but instead data is just repeated.
The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read
from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more
data exists in the ring buffer.

As trace_marker() is used by userspace to inject data into the

of intrusion to the operations of the kernel or the user space

As the ring buffer is designed to write directly into the buffer
without the need to make a temporary buffer, and userspace already

we can simply pin the userspace pages and write the data directly

x86, nmi: Add in logic to handle multiple events and unknown NMIs
Previous patches allow the NMI subsystem to process multipe NMI events
in one NMI. As previously discussed this can cause issues when an event
triggered another NMI but is processed in the current NMI. This causes the
next NMI to go unprocessed and become an 'unknown' NMI.
To handle this, we first have to flag whether or not the NMI handler handled
more than one event or not. If it did, then there exists a chance that
the next NMI might be already processed. Once the NMI is flagged as a
candidate to be swallowed, we next look for a back-to-back NMI condition.
This is determined by looking at the %rip from pt_regs. If it is the same
as the previous NMI, it is assumed the cpu did not have a chance to jump
back into a non-NMI context and execute code and instead handled another NMI.
If both of those conditions are true then we will swallow any unknown NMI.
There still exists a chance that we accidentally swallow a real unknown NMI,
but for now things seem better.
An optimization has also been added to the nmi notifier rountine. Because x86
can latch up to one NMI while currently processing an NMI, we don't have to
worry about executing _all_ the handlers in a standalone NMI. The idea is
if multiple NMIs come in, the second NMI will represent them. For those
back-to-back NMI cases, we have the potentail to drop NMIs. Therefore only
execute all the handlers in the second half of a detected back-to-back NMI.

and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

x86, nmi: Create new NMI handler routines
The NMI handlers used to rely on the notifier infrastructure. This worked
great until we wanted to support handling multiple events better.
One of the key ideas to the nmi handling is to process _all_ the handlers for
each NMI. The reason behind this switch is because NMIs are edge triggered.
If enough NMIs are triggered, then they could be lost because the cpu can
only latch at most one NMI (besides the one currently being processed).
In order to deal with this we have decided to process all the NMI handlers
for each NMI. This allows the handlers to determine if they recieved an
event or not (the ones that can not determine this will be left to fend
for themselves on the unknown NMI list).
As a result of this change it is now possible to have an extra NMI that
was destined to be received for an already processed event. Because the
event was processed in the previous NMI, this NMI gets dropped and becomes
an 'unknown' NMI. This of course will cause printks that scare people.
However, we prefer to have extra NMIs as opposed to losing NMIs and as such
are have developed a basic mechanism to catch most of them. That will be
a later patch.
To accomplish this idea, I unhooked the nmi handlers from the notifier
routines and created a new mechanism loosely based on doIRQ. The reason
for this is the notifier routines have a couple of shortcomings. One we
could't guarantee all future NMI handlers used NOTIFY_OK instead of
NOTIFY_STOP. Second, we couldn't keep track of the number of events being
handled in each routine (most only handle one, perf can handle more than one).
Third, I wanted to eventually display which nmi handlers are registered in
the system in /proc/interrupts to help see who is generating NMIs.
The patch below just implements the new infrastructure but doesn't wire it up
yet (that is the next patch). Its design is based on doIRQ structs and the
atomic notifier routines. So the rcu stuff in the patch isn't entirely untested
(as the notifier routines have soaked it) but it should be double checked in
case I copied the code wrong.

perf, intel: Use GO/HO bits in perf-ctr
Intel does not have guest/host-only bit in perf counters like AMD
does. To support GO/HO bits KVM needs to switch EVENTSELn values
(or PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL if available) at a guest entry. If a counter is
configured to count only in a guest mode it stays disabled in a host,
but VMX is configured to switch it to enabled value during guest entry.
This patch adds GO/HO tracking to Intel perf code and provides interface
for KVM to get a list of MSRs that need to be switched on a guest entry.
Only cpus with architectural PMU (v1 or later) are supported with this
patch. To my knowledge there is not p6 models with VMX but without
architectural PMU and p4 with VMX are rare and the interface is general
enough to support them if need arise.
perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)
The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
what was recorded, on what machine and when.
This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The
change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.
We define the following useful new extensions:
- HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
- HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
- HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
- HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
- HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
- HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
- HEADER_VERSION: perf version
- HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
- HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
- HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication
The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
ASCII strings.
Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
topology may be requested with the -I option.
Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
this patch.

perf tools: Fix broken number of samples for perf report -n
The perf report -n option was broken because it was not reporting the
correct number of samples depending on the sorting mode. By default,
samples are sorted by comm,dso,sym. That means that samples for the same
command (binary) get collapsed.
The hists__collapse_insert_entry() had a bug whereby it was aggregating
the number of events observed (periods) but not the number of samples.
Consequently, the number of samples reported could be below reality. The
percentage remained correct because based on the periods.
This patch fixes the problem by also aggregating the number of samples.
Here is an example:
1. Make sure newt-devel is not installed when building it
2. Use 'perf top --stdio' just like with report
3. Edit your ~/.perfconfig or system wide config and have this there:
[tui]
top = off
But you shouldn't, since the TUI is so much more powerful, has
integration with annotation and where lots more interesting features
will be developed, so if something annoys you (the colors?) just let me
know and I'll do my best to make it pleasant as a default.

perf annotate browser: Allow navigation to called functions
I.e. when in the annotate TUI window, if Enter is pressed over an

This is just a proof of concept and works only on x86_64, more work is
needed to support kernel modules, userland, other arches, etc, but
should already be useful as-is.

perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classes
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':
1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
"KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.
And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:
perf browsers: Add live mode to the hists, annotate browsers
This allows passing a timer to be run periodically, which will update
the hists tree that then gers refreshed on the screen, just like the
Live mode (symbol entries, annotation) we already have in 'perf top
--tui'.
Will be used by the new hist_entry/hists based 'top' tool.

perf hists: Threaded addition and sorting of entries
By using a mutex just for inserting and rotating two hist_entry rb

The 'report' tool continues, for now, to do it without threading, but
will use this in the future to allow visualization of results in long
perf.data sessions while the entries are being processed.
The new 'top' tool will be the first user.

Also, add the option for peer to peer DMA MPS configuration. Peer to
peer DMA is outside the scope of this patch, but MPS configuration could
prevent it from working by having the MPS on one root port different
than the MPS on another. To work around this, simply make the system
