uprobe_unregister() removes the breakpoints only if the last consumer
goes away. To support the filtering it should do this every time, we
want to remove the breakpoints which nobody else want to keep.
Note: given that filter_chain() is not actually implemented, this patch
itself doesn't change the behaviour yet, register_for_each_vma(false)
is a heavy "nop" unless there are no more consumers.

Add the new helper filter_chain(). Currently it is only placeholder,
the comment explains what is should do. We will change it later to
consult every consumer to decide whether we need to install the swbp.
Until then it works as if any consumer returns true, this matches the
current behavior.
Change install_breakpoint() to call filter_chain() instead of checking
uprobe->consumers != NULL. We obviously need this, and this equally
closes the race with _unregister().
Change remove_breakpoint() to call this helper too. Currently this is
pointless because remove_breakpoint() is only called when the last
consumer goes away, but we will change this.

uprobe_consumer->filter() is pointless in its current form, kill it.
We will add it back, but with the different signature/semantics. Perhaps
we will even re-introduce the callsite in handler_chain(), but not to
just skip uc->handler().

register/unregister verifies that inode/uc != NULL. For what?
This really looks like "hide the potential problem", the caller
should pass the valid data.
register() also checks uc->next == NULL, probably to prevent the
double-register but the caller can do other stupid/wrong things.
If we do this check, then we should document that uc->next should
be cleared before register() and add BUG_ON().
Also add the small comment about the i_size_read() check.

A sweep of the kernel for regex "kcalloc(sizeof" turned up 2 reversed
args, fixed in commit d3d09e1820 ("EDAC:
Fix kcalloc argument order") and also fixed in the networking commit
a1b1add07f ("gro: Fix kcalloc argument
order").
I know that was the regex used, because on seeing the 1st of these
changes, I wondered "how many other instances of this are there" and I
happened to just use "calloc(sizeof" as a regex and it in turn found
these additional reversed args instances in the perf code.
In the kcalloc cases, the changes are cosmetic, since the numbers are
simply multiplied. I had no desire to go data mining in userspace to
see if the same thing held true there, however.

Currently we don't display group members' values for raw columns like
'Samples' and 'Period' when in group report mode.
Uniting '__hpp__percent_fmt' and '__hpp__raw_fmt' function under new
function __hpp__fmt. It's basically '__hpp__percent_fmt' code with new
'fmt_percent' bool parameter added saying whether raw number or

This way raw columns print out all the group members when
in group report mode, like:

This patch adds per-processor socket count aggregation for system-wide
mode measurements. This is a useful mode to detect imbalance between
sockets.
To enable this mode, use --aggr-socket in addition
to -a. (system-wide).
The output includes the socket number and the number of online
processors on that socket. This is useful to gauge the amount of
aggregation.

I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where
the event type is off the charts:
(gdb) bt
\#0 0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225
\#1 0x08070795 in perf_session_deliver_event (session=0x80a9b90, event=0xf7a6aff8, sample=0xffffc318, tool=0xffffc520,

\#3 0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645
This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.
There seem to be 2 causes:
1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.
2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.
This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.
The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.

Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols between
two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort keys. Those
functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless since it gets
over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a start address of
the symbol. So just get rid of them.
This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks since
it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch address.
However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway.
Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp().

Based on perf report/top/scripts browser integration idea from acme.
This will enable user to runtime switch the data file, when this option
is selected, it will popup all the legal data files in current working
directory, and the filename selected by user is saved in the global
variable "input_name", and a new key 'K_SWITCH_INPUT_DATA' will be
passed back to the built-in command which will perform the switch.
This initial version only enables it for 'perf report'.

On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the
static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace.
Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never
become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer.
Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses
it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time
when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be
NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the
paths to these locations would probably not be possible.
By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared,
current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these
checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be
checked in the first place.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
. Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to
what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.
. Add event group view, from Namyung Kim:
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf
report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them
together if --group option is provided. You can use 'perf evlist' command to
see event group information:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}
With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately like this:
$ perf report
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 3K of event 'ref-cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3153797218
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp

0.01% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
# Samples: 3K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3722310525
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .........................
99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page
0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu

0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time
0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe
In this case the event group information will be shown in the end of
header area. So you can use --group option to enable event group view.
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................
99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main
0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp
0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del
0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu

0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks
0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time
As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of group leader
first.
If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group
option does nothing. So if you want enable event group view by
default you can set it in ~/.perfconfig file:
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
[report]
group = true
It can be overridden with command line if you want:
$ perf report --no-group

This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs for POWER architecture.
- perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event
- generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/
The format of the first file is already documented in:
sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format
Document the format of the second set of files '/sys/devices/cpu/events/*'
which would also become part of the ABI.
Changelog[v4]:
[Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified
in the 'events' file.
[Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file
as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'.
[Jiri Olsa]: Move ABI documentation from 'stable/' to 'testing/'
Changelog[v3]:
[Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
