Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
API as can be seen by the size of this patch.
The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.
In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
is maintaned.
Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
annotation window will return to the report symbol list.
More work will be done to remove the special casing in
color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
hist_entries, etc.
Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
top, etc
But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
libnewt/TUI integration of tools.

perf, x86: Implement initial P4 PMU driver
The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural
perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use.
P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle
perfomance monitoring events.
A few implementational details:
1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct
x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6,
Core and later cpu series.
2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper
introduced.
3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values.
It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half
of their size. Of course before making a real write into a
particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to
a proper size.
4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config
doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register
so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples
used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same
ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active
event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR
addresses.
5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register
we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel
strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned
off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches
this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra
Restrictions:
- No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?)
- No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
doesn't work for now)
- There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously
(need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1)
- No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet
Todo:
- Implement dependent events
- Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for
debugging stage but not in real loads)
- Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold
for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics
(ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do)
- Need to swicth to use event_constraints
- To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events
into p4_templates
- Cache events need to be added
Event support status matrix:
Event status
-----------------------------
cycles works
cache-references works
cache-misses works

This patch is an optimization in perf_event_task_sched_in() to avoid
scheduling the events twice in a row.
Without it, the perf_disable()/perf_enable() pair is invoked twice,
thereby pinned events counts while scheduling flexible events and we go
throuh hw_perf_enable() twice.
By encapsulating, the whole sequence into perf_disable()/perf_enable() we
ensure, hw_perf_enable() is going to be invoked only once because of the
refcount protection.
This happens because we only iterate the n_running events in the first
pass, and reset their index to -1 if they don't match to force a
re-assignment.
Now, in our RR example, n_running == 0 because we fully unscheduled, so
event-50 will retain its idx==32, even though in scheduling it will have
gotten idx=0, and we don't trigger the re-assign path.
The easiest way to fix this is the below patch, which simply validates
the full assignment in the second pass.

perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs
At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.
This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.
This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].
The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.

perf_event: Fix oops triggered by cpu offline/online
Anton Blanchard found that he could reliably make the kernel hit a
BUG_ON in the slab allocator by taking a cpu offline and then online
while a system-wide perf record session was running.
The reason is that when the cpu comes up, we completely reinitialize
the ctx field of the struct perf_cpu_context for the cpu. If there is
a system-wide perf record session running, then there will be a struct
perf_event that has a reference to the context, so its refcount will
be 2. (The perf_event has been removed from the context's group_entry
and event_entry lists by perf_event_exit_cpu(), but that doesn't
remove the perf_event's reference to the context and doesn't decrement
the context's refcount.)
When the cpu comes up, perf_event_init_cpu() gets called, and it calls
__perf_event_init_context() on the cpu's context. That resets the
refcount to 1. Then when the perf record session finishes and the
perf_event is closed, the refcount gets decremented to 0 and the
context gets kfreed after an RCU grace period. Since the context
wasn't kmalloced -- it's part of a per-cpu variable -- bad things
happen.
In fact we don't need to completely reinitialize the context when the
cpu comes up. It's sufficient to initialize the context once at boot,
but we need to do it for all possible cpus.
This moves the context initialization to happen at boot time. With
this, we don't trash the refcount and the context never gets kfreed,
and we don't hit the BUG_ON.

We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.
What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.
Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.
Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:
perf: Introduce new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for hot regs snapshot
Events that trigger overflows by interrupting a context can
use get_irq_regs() or task_pt_regs() to retrieve the state
when the event triggered. But this is not the case for some
other class of events like trace events as tracepoints are
executed in the same context than the code that triggered
the event.
It means we need a different api to capture the regs there,
namely we need a hot snapshot to get the most important
informations for perf: the instruction pointer to get the
event origin, the frame pointer for the callchain, the code
segment for user_mode() tests (we always use __KERNEL_CS as
trace events always occur from the kernel) and the eflags
for further purposes.
v2: rename perf_save_regs to perf_fetch_caller_regs as per
Masami's suggestion.

lockdep: Move lock events under lockdep recursion protection
There are rcu locked read side areas in the path where we submit
a trace event. And these rcu_read_(un)lock() trigger lock events,
which create recursive events.
The problem is not that much the trace recursion itself, as we have a
recursion protection already (though it's always wasteful to recurse).
But the trace events are outside the lockdep recursion protection, then
each lockdep event triggers a lock trace, which will trigger two
other lockdep events. Here the recursive lock trace event won't
be taken because of the trace recursion, so the recursion stops there
but lockdep will still analyse these new events:
perf report: Print the map table just after samples for which no map was found
If -vv is used just the map table will be printed, -vvv will
print the symbol table too, with it we can see that we have a
bug where some samples are not being resolved to a map when we
get them in the perf.data stream, but after we have it all
processed, we can find the right map, some reordering probably
is happening.
Upcoming patches will provide ways to ask for most PERF_SAMPLE_
conditional samples to be taken for !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events
too, then we'll be able to ask for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME and
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU to help diagnose this.

Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location.
This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which
conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction
that caused the event (barring CPU errata).
The fixup can fail due to various reasons:
1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible)
2) part of the basic block got paged out
3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1)

perf, x86: Implement simple LBR support
Implement simple suport Intel Last-Branch-Record, it supports all
hardware that implements FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI, but does not (yet) implement
the LBR config register.
The Intel LBR is a FIFO of From,To addresses describing the last few
branches the hardware took.
This patch does not add perf interface to the LBR, but merely provides an
interface for internal use.

perf, x86: Add PEBS infrastructure
This patch implements support for Intel Precise Event Based Sampling,
which is an alternative counter mode in which the counter triggers a
hardware assist to collect information on events. The hardware assist
takes a trap like snapshot of a subset of the machine registers.
This data is written to the Intel Debug-Store, which can be programmed
with a data threshold at which to raise a PMI.
With the PEBS hardware assist being trap like, the reported IP is always
one instruction after the actual instruction that triggered the event.
This implements a simple PEBS model that always takes a single PEBS event
at a time. This is done so that the interaction with the rest of the
system is as expected (freq adjust, period randomization, lbr,
callchains, etc.).
It adds an ABI element: perf_event_attr::precise, which indicates that we
wish to use this (constrained, but precise) mode.

Make sure n_added is properly accounted so that we can rely on the value
to reflect the number of added counters. This is needed if its going to
be used for more than a boolean check.

perf, x86: Avoid double disable on throttle vs ioctl(PERF_IOC_DISABLE)
Calling ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE) on a thottled counter would result
in a double disable, cure this by using x86_pmu_{start,stop} for
throttle/unthrottle and teach x86_pmu_stop() to check ->active_mask.
Pass the full perf_event into the x86_pmu functions so that those may
make use of more than the hw_perf_event, and while doing this, remove the
superfluous second argument.

Remove the hw_perf_event_*() hotplug hooks in favour of per PMU hotplug
notifiers. This has the advantage of reducing the static weak interface
as well as exposing all hotplug actions to the PMU.
Use this to fix x86 hotplug usage where we did things in ONLINE which
should have been done in UP_PREPARE or STARTING.

When the callback is called for special messages, the driver creates
an uevent for the received message. The uevent consists of additional
environment data containing the message prefix ("APP"), message sender,
and message content.
udev rules can be used to trigger application specific actions through
matching the content or sender of the special message.

Before you can read or write from the i6300esb memeory mapped registers,
you need to unlock these. This is done by writing the magic numbers 0x80
and 0x86 to the reload register. The size of the reload register is 32bit
though.
