When building with a prefix ending with a slash, for example:
$ make prefix=/usr/local/
one of the perf tests fail to compile due to BUILD_STR macro mishandling
bindir_SQ string containing with two slashes:
-DBINDIR="BUILD_STR(/usr/local//bin)"
with the following error:
CC tests/attr.o
tests/attr.c: In function ‘test__attr’:
tests/attr.c:168:50: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘;’ token
snprintf(path_perf, PATH_MAX, "%s/perf", BINDIR);
^
tests/attr.c:176:1: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
}
^
tests/attr.c:176:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
}
^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
This patch works around the problem by "cleaning" the bindir string
using make's abspath function.

The transaction length metrics in perf stat -T broke recently.
It would not match the metric correctly and always print K/sec.
This was caused by a incorrect update of the cycles_in_tx statistics.
Update the correct variable.
Also the check for zero division was reversed, which resulted in K/sec
being printed for no transactions. Fix this also up.

An earlier (pre-kernel-integration) refactoring of this code mistakenly
replaced the error condition, <, with a >. Use < to detect an error as

Commit 5ef7bbb09f7b ("perf tools: Allow to specify custom linker
command") was meant to enable usage non $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld linker during
perf building.
But implementation didn't take into account the fact that LD is a
pre-defined variable in GNU Make. I.e. it is always defined.
Which means there's no point to check "LD ?= ..." because it will never
succeed.
And so LD will be either that explicitly passed to make like this:
------->8-------
make LD=path_to_my_ld ...
------->8-------
or default value, which is host's "ld".
Latter leads to failure of cross-linkage because instead of cross linker
"$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld" host's "ld" is used.
Fortunately there's a way to do correct substitution of $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld
with user defined LD on command-line.
As a reference was used implementation in "tools/lib/traceevent/Makefile".
Build tested for x86_64 and ARC.
Thanks Jiri for this hint.

At some point:
commit 2c86c7ca7606
Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
Date: Mon Mar 17 18:18:54 2014 -0300
perf report: Merge al->filtered with hist_entry->filtered
We stopped dropping samples for things filtered via the --comms, --dsos,
--symbols, etc, i.e. things marked as filtered in the symbol resolution
routines (thread__find_addr_map(), perf_event__preprocess_sample(),
etc).
But then, in:
commit 268397cb2a47
Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
Date: Tue Apr 22 14:49:31 2014 +0900
perf top/tui: Update nr_entries properly after a filter is applied
We don't take into account entries that were filtered in
perf_event__preprocess_sample() and friends, which leads to
inconsistency in the browser seek routines, that expects the number of
hist_entry->filtered entries to match what it thinks is the number of
unfiltered, browsable entries.
So, for instance, when we do:
perf top --symbols ___non_existent_symbol___
the hist_browser__nr_entries() routine thinks there are no filters in
place, uses the hists->nr_entries but all entries are filtered, leading
to a segfault.
Tested with:
perf top --symbols malloc,free --percentage=relative
Freezing, by pressing 'f', at any time and doing the math on the
percentages ends up with 100%, ditto for:
perf top --dsos libpthread-2.20.so,libxul.so --percentage=relative
Both were segfaulting, all fixed now.
More work needed to do away with checking if filters are in place, we
should just use the nr_non_filtered_samples counter, no need to
conditionally use it or hists.nr_filter, as what the browser does is
just show unfiltered stuff. An audit of how it is being accounted is
needed, this is the minimal fix.

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,
for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are
filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non
filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI.
But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,
--dsos, etc).
So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in
place.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"1) Fixes for a handful of smatch reports (Thanks Dan C.!) and minor
bug fixes (patches 1-6)
2) Correctness fixes to the BLK-mode nvdimm driver (patches 7-10).
Granted these are slightly large for a -rc update. They have been
out for review in one form or another since the end of May and were
deferred from the merge window while we settled on the "PMEM API"
for the PMEM-mode nvdimm driver (ie memremap_pmem, memcpy_to_pmem,
and wmb_pmem).
Now that those apis are merged we implement them in the BLK driver
to guarantee that mmio aperture moves stay ordered with respect to
incoming read/write requests, and that writes are flushed through
those mmio-windows and platform-buffers to be persistent on media.
These pass the sub-system unit tests with the updates to
tools/testing/nvdimm, and have received a successful build-report from
the kbuild robot (468 configs).
With acks from Rafael for the touches to drivers/acpi/"

In preparation for fixing the BLK path to properly use "directed
pcommit" enable the unit test infrastructure to emit mock "flush"
tables. Writes to these flush addresses trigger a memory controller to
flush its internal buffers to persistent media, similar to the x86
"pcommit" instruction.

Instead of accessing it directly, as it uses EXPORT_SYMBOL, that has
no meaning in tools/perf and because we removed the stubs for it, i.e.
we removed the tools/include/linux/export.h file.
This fixes the build for the detached tarball sources cases and removes
one more source of entanglement with the kernel sources.

The python binding build process was still looking at the kernel
rbtree.c file, so, when doing a in-tree build it would work, but when
creating a tarball using tools/perf/MANIFEST as the contents list and
then trying to build the resulting detached sources, it failed.
Fix it by removing one level of indirection from rbtree.c in the
tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources file.

When we started adding extra stuff per array entry, growing the size of
those entries to more than sizeof(pid_t), we had to convert those sizeof
operations to the more robust sizeof(map->map[0]) idiom, that is future
proof, i.e. if/when we add more stuff to those entries, that expression
will produce the new per-entry size.
And besides that, we need to zero out those extra fields, that sometimes
may not get filled, like when we couldn't care less about the comms,
since we don't need those, but since we will try freeing it at
thread_map__delete(), we better fix it.
That is why a thread_map__realloc() was provided.
But that method wasn't used in thread_map__new_by_uid(), fix it.

We were using the include/linux/rbtree.h directly from the kernel,
which broke the build as soon as it started using rcupdate.h, to
avoid dragging the rcu header files into tools/, for which there is
no use so far, grab a copy of rbtree.h.
This is the minimal fix, later patches will copy as well lib/rbtree.c
and move rbtree.h into tools/include/, etc.

Pull ACPICA updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"Additional ACPICA material for v4.2-rc1
This will update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision
20150619 (a bug-fix release mostly including stable-candidate fixes)
and restore an earlier ACPICA commit that had to be reverted due to a
regression introduced by it (the regression is addressed by
blacklisting the only known system affected by it to date).
The only new feature added by this update is the support for
overriding objects in the ACPI namespace and a new ACPI table that can
be used for that called the Override System Definition Table (OSDT).
That should allow us to "patch" the ACPI namespace built from
incomplete or incorrect ACPI System Definition tables (DSDT, SSDT)
during system startup without the need to provide replacements for all
of those tables in the future.
Specifics:
- Fix system resume problems related to 32-bit and 64-bit versions of
the Firmware ACPI Control Structure (FACS) in the firmare (Lv
Zheng)
- Fix double initialization of the FACS (Lv Zheng)
- Add _CLS object processing code to ACPICA (Suravee Suthikulpanit)
- Add support for the (currently missing) new GIC version field in
the Multiple APIC Description Table (MADT) (Hanjun Guo)
- Add support for overriding objects in the ACPI namespace to ACPICA
and OSDT support (Lv Zheng, Bob Moore, Zhang Rui)
- Updates related to the TCPA and TPM2 ACPI tables (Bob Moore)
- Restore the commit modifying _REV to always return "2" (as required
by ACPI 6) and add a blacklisting mechanism for systems that may be
affected by that change (Rafael J Wysocki)
- Assorted fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, Sascha Wildner)"

The /dev/mem can be configured out, in which case, acpidump should still
work with "-c" option as tables can be found in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.
This patch allows acpidump to work without /dev/mem.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
clock "monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
even faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
deal with trace events.
Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
confusion with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically,
"ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
tracing and also helps with live kernel patching. But the trace
events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
trace events should not be named "ftrace". These include:
include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h
include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h
Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*()
(un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event()
ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name()
ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -> trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call()
ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call()
Structures have been renamed:
ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file
ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class}
ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer
ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir
ftrace_event_raw_##call -> trace_event_raw_##call
ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call
ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call
And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly
because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
external to that"

Upon detection of an unarmed dimm in a region, arrange for descendant
BTT, PMEM, or BLK instances to be read-only. A dimm is primarily marked
"unarmed" via flags passed by platform firmware (NFIT).
The flags in the NFIT memory device sub-structure indicate the state of
the data on the nvdimm relative to its energy source or last "flush to
persistence". For the most part there is nothing the driver can do but
advertise the state of these flags in sysfs and emit a message if
firmware indicates that the contents of the device may be corrupted.
However, for the case of ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED, the driver can arrange for
the block devices incorporating that nvdimm to be marked read-only.
This is a safe default as the data is still available and new writes are
held off until the administrator either forces read-write mode, or the
energy source becomes armed.
A 'read_only' attribute is added to REGION devices to allow for
overriding the default read-only policy of all descendant block devices.

'libnvdimm' is the first driver sub-system in the kernel to implement
mocking for unit test coverage. The nfit_test module gets built as an
external module and arranges for external module replacements of nfit,
libnvdimm, nd_pmem, and nd_blk. These replacements use the linker
--wrap option to redirect calls to ioremap() + request_mem_region() to
custom defined unit test resources. The end result is a fully
functional nvdimm_bus, as far as userspace is concerned, but with the
capability to perform otherwise destructive tests on emulated resources.
Q: Why not use QEMU for this emulation?
QEMU is not suitable for unit testing. QEMU's role is to faithfully
emulate the platform. A unit test's role is to unfaithfully implement
the platform with the goal of triggering bugs in the corners of the
sub-system implementation. As bugs are discovered in platforms, or the
sub-system itself, the unit tests are extended to backstop a fix with a
reproducer unit test.
Another problem with QEMU is that it would require coordination of 3
software projects instead of 2 (kernel + libndctl [1]) to maintain and
execute the tests. The chances for bit rot and the difficulty of
getting the tests running goes up non-linearly the more components
involved.
Q: Why submit this to the kernel tree instead of external modules in
libndctl?
Simple, to alleviate the same risk that out-of-tree external modules
face. Updates to drivers/nvdimm/ can be immediately evaluated to see if
they have any impact on tools/testing/nvdimm/.
Q: What are the negative implications of merging this?
It is a unique maintenance burden because the purpose of mocking an
interface to enable a unit test is to purposefully short circuit the
semantics of a routine to enable testing. For example
__wrap_ioremap_cache() fakes the pmem driver into "ioremap()'ing" a test
resource buffer allocated by dma_alloc_coherent(). The future
maintenance burden hits when someone changes the semantics of
ioremap_cache() and wonders what the implications are for the unit test.

There 2 problems when reading symbols files:
* It doesn't report any errors even if when users specify symbol
files which don't exist with --kallsyms or --vmlinux. The result
just shows the address without symbols, which is not what is expected.
So it's better to report errors and exit the program.
* When using command perf report --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms with a
non-root user, symbols are resolved. Then select one symbol and
annotate it, it reports the error as the following:
Can't annotate __clear_user: No vmlinux file with build id xxx was
found.
The problem is caused by reading /proc/kcore without access permission.
/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability to access, so it needs to
change access permission to allow a specific user to read /proc/kcore or
use root to execute the perf command.
This patch is to report errors when symbol files specified by users
don't exist. And check access permission of /proc/kcore when reading it.

Currently all the -p option PID arguments tasks values get aggregated
and printed as single values.
Adding --per-tasks option to print values per task.
$ perf stat -e cycles,instructions --per-thread -p 30190,30242
^C
Performance counter stats for process id '30190,30242':
cat-30190 0 cycles
yes-30242 3,842,525,421 cycles
cat-30190 0 instructions
yes-30242 10,370,817,010 instructions

Also works under interval mode:
$ perf stat -e cycles,instructions --per-thread -p 30190,30242 -I 1000
# time comm-pid counts unit events

It works only with -t and -p options, otherwise following error is
printed:
$ perf stat -e cycles --per-thread -I 1000 ls
The --per-thread option is only available when monitoring via -p -t options.
-p, --pid <pid> stat events on existing process id
-t, --tid <tid> stat events on existing thread id
