This patch helps with Sukadev's vendor event tree where such events can happen.

&gt;From Andi Kleen:
 Any event including a .c/.o/.bpf currently triggers BPF compilation or loading
 and then an error. This can happen for some Intel vendor events, which cannot
 be used.

This patch fixes this problem by forbidding BPF file patch containing '{', '}'
and ',', make sure flex consumes the leading '{', instead of matching it using
a BPF file path.

Tested result:

  $ perf stat -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}' -a -I 1000
  invalid or unsupported event: '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  (as expected, interperted as event)

  $ perf stat -e 'aaa.c' -a -I 1000
  ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory
  (as expected, interpreted as BPF source)

  $ perf stat -e 'aaa.ccc' -a -I 1000
  invalid or unsupported event: 'aaa.ccc'
  (as expected, interpreted as event)

  $ perf stat -e '{aaa.c}' -a -I 1000
  ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory
  event syntax error: '{aaa.c}'
  &lt;SKIP&gt;
  (as expected, interpreted as BPF source)

  $ perf stat -e '{cycles,aaa.c}' -a -I 1000
  ERROR: problems with path aaa.c: No such file or directory
  event syntax error: '{cycles,aaa.c}'
  (as expected, interpreted as BPF source)

<title>perf tools: Add infrastructure for PMU specific configuration</title>

<id>dd60fba7324572498d91163e96b1cfe5cd5f7f3b</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds PMU driver specific configuration to the parser
infrastructure by preceding any term with the '@' letter.  As such doing
something like:

perf record -e some_event/@cfg1,@cfg2=config/ ...

will see 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' being added to the list of evsel
config terms.  Token 'cfg1' and 'cfg2=config' are not processed in user
space and are meant to be interpreted by the PMU driver.

First the lexer/parser are supplemented with the required definitions to
recognise the driver specific configuration.  From there they are simply
added to the list of event terms.  The bulk of the work is done in
function "parse_events_add_pmu()" where driver config event terms are
added to a new list of driver config terms, which in turn spliced with
the event's new driver configuration list.

<title>perf tools: Enable overwrite settings</title>

<id>626a6b784e91bc61ca9fe0f9dd5bb60cb91ccb6b</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch allows following config terms and option:

Globally setting events to overwrite;

  # perf record --overwrite ...

Set specific events to be overwrite or no-overwrite.

  # perf record --event cycles/overwrite/ ...
  # perf record --event cycles/no-overwrite/ ...

Add missing config terms and update the config term array size because
the longest string length has changed.

For overwritable events, it automatically selects attr.write_backward
since perf requires it to be backward for reading.

Test result:

  # perf record --overwrite -e syscalls:*enter_nanosleep* usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep: type: 2, size: 112, config: 0x134, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|RAW, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, write_backward: 1

<title>perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat</title>
<updated>2016-06-06T20:04:15+00:00</updated>

<name>Andi Kleen</name>

<id>44b1e60ab576c343aa592a2a6c679297cc69740d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat

TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles
idle metrics in standard perf stat output.  These metrics are not
reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects.

This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to
--transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using
standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters
(one fixed counter)

The result are four metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring

that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level.

The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics.  This
implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without
multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is
available in pmu-tools toplev.  (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools)

The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge,
and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont.  In principle the generic
metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs.

TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to
out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of
them):

  topdown-total-slots       Available slots in the pipeline
  topdown-slots-issued      Slots issued into the pipeline
  topdown-slots-retired     Slots successfully retired
  topdown-fetch-bubbles     Pipeline gaps in the frontend
  topdown-recovery-bubbles  Pipeline gaps during recovery
                            from misspeculation

These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.

Add a new --topdown options to enable events.  When --topdown is
specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel.
Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for
all events containing -.

The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches.

v2: Use standard sysctl read function.
v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/
v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown.
v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode
v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics
v7: Allow combining with -d
v8: Remove --single-thread again
v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_.
v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better
Paste intro into commit description.
Print error when malloc fails.

Using just /max-stack=N/ means /call-graph=fp,max-stack=N/, that should
be further configurable by means of some .perfconfig knob.

Using just /max-stack=N/ means /call-graph=fp,max-stack=N/, that should
be further configurable by means of some .perfconfig knob.

Commit a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper")
adds a helper to enable a BPF program to output data to a perf ring
buffer through a new type of perf event, PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT. This
patch enables perf to create events of that type. Now a perf user can
use the following cmdline to receive output data from BPF programs:

  # perf record -a -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                    -e ./test_bpf_output.c/map:channel.event=evt/ ls /
  # perf script
     perf 1560 [004] 347747.086295:  evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ...
     perf 1560 [004] 347747.086300:  evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ...
     perf 1560 [004] 347747.086315:  evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ...
            ...

<title>perf tools: Enable indices setting syntax for BPF map</title>

This patch introduces a new syntax to perf event parser:

 # perf record -e './test_bpf_map_3.c/map:channel.value[0,1,2,3...5]=101/' usleep 2

By utilizing the basic facilities in bpf-loader.c which allow setting
different slots in a BPF map separately, the newly introduced syntax
allows perf to control specific elements in a BPF map.

Test result:

  static int (*trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) =

  struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") channel = {
 	.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
 	.key_size = sizeof(int),
 	.value_size = sizeof(unsigned char),
 	.max_entries = 100,
  };

  int func(void *ctx, int err, long nsec)
  {

 	long usec = nsec * 0x10624dd3 &gt;&gt; 38; // nsec / 1000
 	int key = (int)usec;
 	unsigned char *pval = map_lookup_elem(&amp;channel, &amp;key);

 	if (!pval)

                                   \___ Index too large
  Hint:	Valid config terms:
      	map:[&lt;arraymap&gt;].value&lt;indices&gt;=[value]
      	map:[&lt;eventmap&gt;].event&lt;indices&gt;=[event]

      	where &lt;indices&gt; is something like [0,3...5] or [all]
      	(add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

This patch adds the final step for BPF map configuration. A new syntax
is appended into parser so user can config BPF objects through '/' '/'
enclosed config terms.

After this patch, following syntax is available:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_map_1.c/map:channel.value=10/ ...

It would takes effect after appling following commits.

Test result:

  # cat ./test_bpf_map_1.c

config_term_names[] is introduced for future commits which will be able
to retrieve the config name through the config term.

Utilize this array in parse_events_formats_error_string() so the missing
'{,no-}inherit' terms are added.

<title>perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event</title>

<id>d509db0473e40134286271b1d1adadccf42ac467</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
    is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
    in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

 # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.
