<content type='text'>
The cgroup sort key is to show cgroup membership of each task.
Currently it shows full path in the cgroupfs (not relative to the root
of cgroup namespace) since it'd be more intuitive IMHO.  Otherwise root
cgroup in different namespaces will all show same name - "/".

The cgroup sort key should come before cgroup_id otherwise
sort_dimension__add() will match it to cgroup_id as it only matches with
the given substring.

For example it will look like following.  Note that record patch adding
--all-cgroups patch will come later.

  $ perf record -a --namespace --all-cgroups  cgtest
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.208 MB perf.data (4090 samples) ]

  $ perf report -s cgroup_id,cgroup,pid
  ...
  # Overhead  cgroup id (dev/inode)  Cgroup          Pid:Command
  # ........  .....................  ..........  ...............

<title>perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack</title>
<updated>2020-03-10T00:42:53Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=42bbabed09ce6208026648a71a45b4394c74585a'/>
<id>urn:sha1:42bbabed09ce6208026648a71a45b4394c74585a</id>
<content type='text'>
The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.

However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack.  Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output.  Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].

To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.

Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.

Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.

Committer notes:

Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.

Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.

Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

<id>urn:sha1:d46a4cdf49937b0b3abeb2cd7fa5dc65795e7ea7</id>
<content type='text'>
So that we pass that substructure around and with it consolidate lots of
functions that receive a (map, symbol) pair and now can receive just a
'struct map_symbol' pointer.

This further paves the way to add 'struct map_groups' to 'struct
map_symbol' so that we can have all we need for annotation so that we
can ditch 'struct map'-&gt;groups, i.e. have the map_groups pointer in a
more central place, avoiding the pointer in the 'struct map' that have
tons of instances.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

perf report:

  Jin Yao:

  - Introduce --total-cycles, for basic block profiling, further using data
    obtained from LBR, an example should suffice:

perf record:

  Adrian Hunter:

  - Allow storing perf.data in a directory together with a copy of /proc/kcore.

  Jiwei Sun:

  - Add support for limit perf output file size, i.e.:

    # perf record --all-cpus -F 10000 --max-size=4M sleep 10h
    [ perf record: perf size limit reached (4097 KB), stopping session ]
    [ perf record: Woken up 6 times to write data ]

    Terminated
    # ls -lah perf.data
    -rw-------. 1 root root 4.1M Nov  7 15:27 perf.data
    #

perf stat:

  Jiri Olsa:

  - Add --per-node agregation support:

    In live mode:

      # perf stat  -a -I 1000 -e cycles --per-node
      #           time node   cpus             counts unit events

perf probe:

  Masami Hiramatsu:

  Various fixes related to recent additions to the DWARF format:

  - Fix to find range-only function instance

  - Walk function lines in lexical blocks

  - Fix to show function entry line as probe-able

  - Fix wrong address verification

  - Fix to probe a function which has no entry pc

  - Fix to probe an inline function which has no entry pc

  - Fix to list probe event with correct line number

  - Fix to show inlined function callsite without entry_pc

  - Fix to show ranges of variables in functions without entry_pc

  - Return a better scope DIE if there is no best scope

  - Skip end-of-sequence and non statement lines

  - Filter out instances except for inlined subroutine and subprogram

  - Fix to show calling lines of inlined functions

  - Skip overlapped location on searching variables

perf inject:

    repeated decoding. Add an auxtrace_cache__remove to handle text poke events.

core:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Always preserve errno while cleaning up perf_event_open failures.

llvm:

  Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

  - No need to tell that the request for saving a .o file for BPF events, as
    expressed in ~/.perfconfig was satisfied, make that a debug message.

  Haiyan Song:

  - Update CascadelakeX events to v1.05.

  - Update all the Intel JSON metrics from TMAM 3.6.

Treewide:

  Ian Rogers:

  - Improve error paths, plugging leaks found using LLVM tools
    such as libFuzzer.

jevents:

  Yunfeng Ye:

  - Fix resource leak in process_mapfile() and main()

perf kvm:

  Igor Lubashev:

  - Use evlist layer api when possible.

libsubcmd:

  James Clark:

  - Move EXTRA_FLAGS to the end to allow overriding existing flags.

  - Use -O0 with DEBUG=1

perf diff:

  Jin Yao:

  - Don't use hack to skip column length calculation

CoreSight ETM:

  Leo yan:

  - Fix definition of macro TO_CS_QUEUE_NR

ARM64:

  John Garry:

  - Do not try to include libelf header files when its feature detection
    failed, fixing the cross build for ARM64.

perf tests:

  Leo Yan:

  - Fix out of bounds memory access in the backward ring buffer test.

<content type='text'>
This patch provides helper routines to support new columns for block
info output.

The new columns are:

  Sampled Cycles%
  Sampled Cycles
  Avg Cycles%
  Avg Cycles
  [Program Block Range]
  Shared Object

 v5:
 ---
 1. Move more block related functions from builtin-report.c to
    block-info.c

 2. Set ms (map+sym) in block hist_entry. Because this info
    is needed for reporting the block range (i.e. source line)

Committer notes:

Remove unused set_fmt() function, some build were not completing with:

  util/block-info.c:396:20: error: unused function 'set_fmt' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
  static inline void set_fmt(struct block_fmt *block_fmt,
                     ^
  1 error generated.

We can get the per sample cycles by hist__account_cycles(). It's also
useful to know the total cycles of all samples in order to get the
cycles coverage for a single program block in further. For example:

  coverage = per block sampled cycles / total sampled cycles

This patch creates a new argument 'total_cycles' in hist__account_cycles(),
which will be added with the cycles of each sample.

We have already implemented some block-info related functions.
Now it's time to do some cleanup, refactoring and move the
functions and structures to new block-info.h/block-info.c.

 v4:
 ---
 Move code for skipping column length calculation to patch:
 'perf diff: Don't use hack to skip column length calculation'

 v3:
 ---
 1. Rename the patch title
 2. Rename from block.h/block.c to block-info.h/block-info.c
 3. Move more common part to block-info, such as
    block_info__process_sym.
 4. Remove the nasty hack for skipping calculation of column
    length
