This is useful for hierarchy output mode where the first level is
considered as output fields. We want them in the same level so that it

Factor out a function to get the name of member field at the given
offset. This will be used in other places.
Also update the output of typeoff sort key a little bit. As we know
that some special types like (stack operation), (stack canary) and
(unknown) won't have fields, skip printing the offset and field.
For example, the following change is expected.
"(stack operation) +0 (no field)" ==> "(stack operation)"

Sometimes it's useful to organize member fields in cache-line boundary.
The 'typecln' sort key is short for type-cacheline and to show samples
in each cacheline. The cacheline size is fixed to 64 for now, but it
can read the actual size once it saves the value from sysfs.
For example, you maybe want to which cacheline in a target is hot or
cold. The following shows members in the cfs_rq's first cache line.
$ perf report -s type,typecln,typeoff -H

Committer notes:
Justification from Namhyung when asked about why it would be "better":
Cache line sizes are power of 2 so it'd be natural to use hex and
check whether an offset is in the same boundary. Also 'perf annotate'
shows instruction offsets in hex.

It's expected that both hist entries are in the same hists when
comparing two. But the current code in the function checks one without
dso sort key and other with the key. This would make the condition true
in any case.
I guess the intention of the original commit was to add '!' for the
right side too. But as it should be the same, let's just remove it.

Add weight1, weight2 and weight3 fields to -F/--fields and their aliases
like 'ins_lat', 'p_stage_cyc' and 'retire_lat'. Note that they are in
the sort keys too but the difference is that output fields will sum up
the weight values and display the average.
In the sort key, users can see the distribution of weight value and I
think it's confusing we have local vs. global weight for the same weight.
For example, I experiment with mem-loads events to get the weights. On
my laptop, it seems only weight1 field is supported.
$ perf mem record -- perf test -w noploop
Let's look at the noploop function only. It has 7 samples.
$ perf script -F event,ip,sym,weight | grep noploop
# event weight ip sym
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 43 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 48 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 59 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 33 55b3c122bffc noploop
cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P: 38 55b3c122bffc noploop <--- same weight
When you use the 'weight' sort key, it'd show entries with a separate
weight value separately. Also note that the first entry has 3 samples
with weight value 38, so they are displayed together and the weight
value is the sum of 3 samples (114 = 38 * 3).
$ perf report -n -s +weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Weight
0.53% 3 perf perf [.] noploop 114
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 59
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 48
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 43
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 33
If you use 'local_weight' sort key, you can see the actual weight.
$ perf report -n -s +local_weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Local Weight
0.53% 3 perf perf [.] noploop 38
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 59
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 48
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 43
0.18% 1 perf perf [.] noploop 33
But when you use the -F/--field option instead, you can see the average
weight for the while noploop function (as it won't group samples by
weight value and use the default 'comm,dso,sym' sort keys).
$ perf report -n -F +weight | grep -e Weight -e noploop
Warning:
--fields weight shows the average value unlike in the --sort key.
# Overhead Samples Weight1 Command Shared Object Symbol
1.23% 7 42.4 perf perf [.] noploop
The weight1 field shows the average value:
(38 * 3 + 59 + 48 + 43 + 33) / 7 = 42.4
Also it'd show the warning that 'weight' field has the average value.
Using 'weight1' can remove the warning.

Support data type annotation with new --data-type option. It internally
uses type sort key to collect sample histogram for the type and display
every members like below.
$ perf annotate --data-type
...
Annotate type: 'struct cfs_rq' in [kernel.kallsyms] (13 samples):
============================================================================
samples offset size field
13 0 640 struct cfs_rq {
2 0 16 struct load_weight load {
2 0 8 unsigned long weight;
0 8 4 u32 inv_weight;
};
0 16 8 unsigned long runnable_weight;
0 24 4 unsigned int nr_running;
1 28 4 unsigned int h_nr_running;
...
For simplicity it prints the number of samples per field for now.
But it should be easy to show the overhead percentage instead.
The number at the outer struct is a sum of the numbers of the inner
members. For example, struct cfs_rq got total 13 samples, and 2 came
from the load (struct load_weight) and 1 from h_nr_running. Similarly,
the struct load_weight got total 2 samples and they all came from the
weight field.
I've added two new flags in the symbol_conf for this. The
annotate_data_member is to get the members of the type. This is also
needed for perf report with typeoff sort key. The annotate_data_sample
is to update sample stats for each offset and used only in annotate.
Currently it only support stdio output mode, TUI support can be added
later.
Committer testing:
With the perf.data from the previous csets, a very simple, short
duration one:
# perf annotate --data-type
Annotate type: 'struct list_head' in [kernel.kallsyms] (1 samples):
============================================================================
samples offset size field
1 0 16 struct list_head {
0 0 8 struct list_head* next;
1 8 8 struct list_head* prev;
};
Annotate type: 'char' in [kernel.kallsyms] (1 samples):
============================================================================
samples offset size field
1 0 1 char ;

Add 'simd' sort field to visualize SIMD ops in 'perf report'.
Rows are labeled with the SIMD ISA, and the type of predicate (if any):
- [p] partial predicate
- [e] empty predicate (no elements in the vector being used)
Example with Arm SPE and SVE (Scalable Vector Extension):
#include <arm_sve.h>
double src[1025], dst[1025];
int main(void) {
svfloat64_t vc = svdup_f64(1);
for(;;)
for(int i = 0; i < 1025; i += svcntd())
{
svbool_t pg = svwhilelt_b64(i, 1025);
svfloat64_t vsrc = svld1(pg, &src[i]);
svfloat64_t vdst = svadd_x(pg, vsrc, vc);
svst1(pg, &dst[i], vdst);
}
return 0;
}
... compiled using "gcc-11 -march=armv8-a+sve -O3"
Profiling on a platform that implements FEAT_SVE and FEAT_SPEv1p1:
$ perf record -e arm_spe_0// -- ./a.out
$ perf report --itrace=i1i -s overhead,pid,simd,sym
Overhead Pid:Command Simd Symbol
........ ................ ....... ......................
53.76% 10758:program [.] main
46.14% 10758:program [.] SVE [.] main
0.09% 10758:program [p] SVE [.] main
The report shows 0.09% of the sampled SVE operations use partial
predicates due to src and dst arrays not being multiples of the vector
register lengths.

Many platforms have feature of adjacent cachelines prefetch, when it is
enabled, for data in RAM of 2 cachelines (2N and 2N+1) granularity, if
one is fetched to cache, the other one could likely be fetched too,
which sort of extends the cacheline size to double, thus the false
sharing could happens in adjacent cachelines.
0Day has captured performance changed related with this [1], and some
commercial software explicitly makes its hot global variables 128 bytes
aligned (2 cache lines) to avoid this kind of extended false sharing.
So add an option "--double-cl" for 'perf c2c report' to show false
sharing in double cache line granularity, which acts just like the
cacheline size is doubled. There is no change to c2c record. The
hardware events of shared cacheline are still per cacheline, and this
option just changes the granularity of how events are grouped and
displayed.

quite useful to display the information with perf mem report.
The p_stage_cyc for Power is also from the var3_w. Union the p_stage_cyc
and retire_lat to share the code.

So check if we have tracepoint events in add_dynamic_entry() and bail
out instead:
# perf report --stdio -f
This perf binary isn't linked with libtraceevent, can't process probe_perf:lzma_decompress_to_file
Error:

The sort_entry->cmp() will be called for eventy sample data to find a
matching entry. When it has 'srcline' sort key, that means it needs to
call addr2line or libbfd everytime.
This is not optimal because many samples will have same address and it
just can call addr2line once. So postpone the actual srcline check to
the sort_entry->collpase() and compare addresses in ->cmp().
Also it needs to add ->init() callback to make sure it has srcline info.
If a sample has a unique data, chances are the entry can be sorted out
by other (previous) keys and callbacks in sort_srcline never called.

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.
If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.
This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.
Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".
Committer notes:
Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:
#include <traceevent/event-parse.h>
to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.
Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:
- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/
- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.
Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:
- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.
- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.
From Athira:
<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>
Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.
- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.
Also from Athira:
<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>
Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

Sometimes users want to see actual (virtual) address of sampled instructions.
Add a new 'addr' sort key to display the raw addresses.
$ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 12 of event 'cycles:u'
# Event count (approx.): 252512
#
# Overhead Address
# ........ ..................
#
42.96% 0x7f96f08443d7
29.55% 0x7f96f0859b50
14.76% 0x7f96f0852e02
8.30% 0x7f96f0855028
4.43% 0xffffffff8de01087
Note that it just compares and displays the sample ip. Each process can
have a different memory layout and the ip will be different even if they run
the same binary. So this sort key is mostly meaningful for per-process
profile data.
