Merge tag 'perf-tools-2020-06-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux

Pull perf tooling updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"These are additional changes to the perf tools, on top of what Ingo
already submitted.

- Further Intel PT call-trace fixes

- Improve SELinux docs and tool warnings

- Fix race at exit in 'perf record' using eventfd.

- Add missing build tests to the default set of 'make -C tools/perf
build-test'

- Sync msr-index.h getting new AMD MSRs to decode and filter in 'perf
trace'.

- Fix fallback to libaudit in 'perf trace' for arches not using
per-arch *.tbl files.

- Fixes for 'perf ftrace'.

- Fixes and improvements for the 'perf stat' metrics.

- Use dummy event to get PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,etc} while
synthesizing those metadata events for pre-existing threads.

- Fix leaks detected using clang tooling.

- Improvements to PMU event metric testing.

- Report summary for 'perf stat' interval mode at the end, summing up
all the intervals.

- Improve pipe mode, i.e. this now works as expected, continuously
dumping samples:

# perf record -g -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter | perf --no-pager script

- Fixes for event grouping, detecting incompatible groups such as:

# perf stat -e '{cycles,power/energy-cores/}' -v
WARNING: group events cpu maps do not match, disabling group:
anon group { power/energy-cores/, cycles }
power/energy-cores/: 0
cycles: 0-7

- Fixes for 'perf probe': blacklist address checking, number of
kretprobe instances, etc.

- JIT processing improvements and fixes plus the addition of a 'perf
test' entry for the java demangler.

- Add support for synthesizing first/last level cache, TLB and remove
access events from HW tracing in the auxtrace code, first to use is
ARM SPE.

- Vendor events updates and fixes, including for POWER9 and Intel.

- Allow using ~/.perfconfig for removing the ',' separators in 'perf
stat' output.

- Opt-in support for libpfm4"

"Kernel side changes:

- Add AMD Fam17h RAPL support

- Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space

- Add Zhaoxin CPU support

- Misc fixes and cleanups

Tooling changes:

- perf record:

Introduce '--switch-output-event' to use arbitrary events to be
setup and read from a side band thread and, when they take place a
signal be sent to the main 'perf record' thread, reusing the core
for '--switch-output' to take perf.data snapshots from the ring
buffer used for '--overwrite', e.g.:

# perf record --overwrite -e sched:* \
--switch-output-event syscalls:*connect* \
workload

will take perf.data.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS snapshots up to around the
connect syscalls.

Add '--num-synthesize-threads' option to control degree of
parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which is scanning
/proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming. This mimics
pre-existing behaviour in 'perf top'.

- perf bench:

Add a multi-threaded synthesize benchmark and kallsyms parsing
benchmark.

- Intel PT support:

Stitch LBR records from multiple samples to get deeper backtraces,
there are caveats, see the csets for details.

Allow using Intel PT to synthesize callchains for regular events.

Add support for synthesizing branch stacks for regular events
(cycles, instructions, etc) from Intel PT data.

Misc changes:

- Updated perf vendor events for power9 and Coresight.

- Add flamegraph.py script via 'perf flamegraph'

- Misc other changes, fixes and cleanups - see the Git log for details

Also, since over the last couple of years perf tooling has matured and
decoupled from the kernel perf changes to a large degree, going
forward Arnaldo is going to send perf tooling changes via direct pull
requests"

perf record: Respect --no-switch-events

Context switch events are added automatically by Intel PT and Coresight.

Make it possible to suppress them. That is useful for tracing the
scheduler without the disturbance that the switch event processing
creates.

Example:

Prerequisites:

$ which perf
~/bin/perf
$ sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf
$ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore

$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.938 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
572

After:

$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
Warning:
Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing!

Ian Rogers:

- Fix a refcount leak in evlist method.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Rename the code in tools/perf/util, i.e. perf tooling specific, that
operates on 'struct evsel' to evsel__, leaving the perf_evsel__
namespace for the routines in tools/lib/perf/ that operate on
'struct perf_evsel__'.

tools/perf specific libraries:

Konstantin Khlebnikov:

- Fix reading new topology attribute "core_cpus"

- Simplify checking if SMT is active.

perf flamegraph:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
