perf kvm stat currently requires back to back record and report commands
to see stats. e.g,.
perf kvm stat record -p $pid -- sleep 1
perf kvm stat report
This is inconvenvient for on box monitoring of a VM. This patch
introduces a 'live' mode that in effect combines the record plus report
into one command. e.g., to monitor a single VM:
perf kvm stat live -p $pid
or all VMs:
perf kvm stat live
Same stats options for the record+report path work with the live mode.
Display rate defaults to 1 second and can be changed using the -d
option.
v4:
- address comments from Xiao -- verify_vcpu check should not look at
processors on line for the host, prune configurable options.
- set attr->{mmap,comm,task} to 0 - don't need task events so trim events
we have to deal with
- better control of time for queue event flushing to reduce frequency of
"Timestamp below last timeslice flush" failures.
v3:
updated to use existing tracepoint parsing code
v2:
removed ABSTIME arg from timerfd_settime as mentioned by Namhyung
only call perf_kvm__handle_stdin when poll returns activity.

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
object code from vmlinux. That is because the mappings do not map to
the dso. This patch fixes that.
A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must
be taken into account. As a result of that separate map functions for
relocation are no longer needed.
Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and
so is not done.
The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX
or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX as approprite, which enables the
correct file name to be determined by dso__binary_type_file().
This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test. That is
fixed in a following patch.

When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic
linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the
workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter
multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors.
Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer
periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which
is relatively short. If many groups are multiplexing the one group
seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all
groups, may see a significant error.
Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it
is so different from the rest.
One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first
sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support
intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not
necessarily the same as a useful startup delay.
This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for
the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms
Here's a simple example:
perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
3,721 page-faults
...
If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less:
perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
2,823 page-faults
...
So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period
value offered by lower layers.
There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on
event group:
Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.
And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.
Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to
actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
read format.
Example:
$ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
...
$ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
...
# Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
# Event count (approx.): 12585593

Currently the full dynticks subsystem keep the
tick alive as long as there are perf events running.
This prevents the tick from being stopped as long as features
such that the lockup detectors are running. As a temporary fix,
the lockup detector is disabled by default when full dynticks
is built but this is not a long term viable solution.
To fix this, only keep the tick alive when an event configured
with a frequency rather than a period is running on the CPU,
or when an event throttles on the CPU.
These are the only purposes of the perf tick, especially now that
the rotation of flexible events is handled from a seperate hrtimer.
The tick can be shutdown the rest of the time.

In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the
refcount incremented for the current event.
As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error,
we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount
with a call to put_callchain_buffers().
This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event()
after that failure.
The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure
path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive,
ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to
see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned
by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller.
So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from
get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free
the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc().

On callchain buffers allocation failure, free_event() is
called and all the accounting performed in perf_event_alloc()
for that event is cancelled.
But if the event has branch stack sampling, it is unaccounted
as well from the branch stack sampling events refcounts.
This is a bug because this accounting is performed after the
callchain buffer allocation. As a result, the branch stack sampling
events refcount can become negative.
To fix this, move the branch stack event accounting before the
callchain buffer allocation.
