When executing the command "perf list", I met "Error: failed to open
tracing events directory" twice, the first reason is that there is no
"/sys/kernel/tracing/events" directory due to it does not enable the
kernel tracing infrastructure with CONFIG_FTRACE, the second reason
is that there is no root privileges.
Add the error string to tell the users what happened and what should
to do, and also call put_tracing_file() to free events_path a little
later to avoid messy code in the error message.
At the same time, just remove the redundant "/" of the file path in
the function get_tracing_file(), otherwise it shows something like
"/sys/kernel/tracing//events".

Normally exception packets don't directly output a branch sample, but
if they're the last record in a buffer then they will. Because they
don't have addresses set we'll see the placeholder value
CS_ETM_INVAL_ADDR (0xdeadbeef) in the output.
Since commit 6035b6804b ("perf cs-etm: Support dummy address value for
CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet") we've used 0 as an externally visible "not set"
address value. For consistency reasons and to not make exceptions look
like an error, change them to use 0 too.
This is particularly visible when doing userspace only tracing because
trace is disabled when jumping to the kernel, causing the flush and then
forcing the last exception packet to be emitted as a branch. With kernel
trace included, there is no flush so exception packets don't generate
samples until the next range packet and they'll pick up the correct
address.

$ perf record -e cs_etm//u -- stress -i 1 -t 1

Now perf uses the capstone library to disassemble the instructions in
x86. capstone is used (if available) for perf annotate to speed up.
Currently it only supports x86 architecture.
This patch includes changes to enable this in powerpc.
For now, only for data type sort keys, this method is used and only
binary code (raw instruction) is read. This is because powerpc approach
to understand instructions and reg fields uses raw instruction.
The "cs_disasm" is currently not enabled. While attempting to do
cs_disasm, observation is that some of the instructions were not
identified (ex: extswsli, maddld) and it had to fallback to use objdump.
Hence enabling "cs_disasm" is added in comment section as a TODO for
powerpc.

Use the raw instruction code and macros to identify memory instructions,
extract register fields and also offset.
The implementation addresses the D-form, X-form, DS-form instructions.
Two main functions are added.
New parse function "load_store__parse" as instruction ops parser for
memory instructions.
Unlike other parsers (like mov__parse), this one fills in the
"multi_regs" field for source/target and new added "mem_ref" field. No
other fields are set because, here there is no need to parse the
disassembled code and arch specific macros will take care of extracting
offset and regs which is easier and will be precise.
In powerpc, all instructions with a primary opcode from 32 to 63
are memory instructions. Update "ins__find" function to have "raw_insn"
also as a parameter.

Add support to capture and parse raw instruction in powerpc.
Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses two ways to disassemble
and understand the instruction. One is objdump and other option is
via libcapstone.
Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses "--no-show-raw-insn" option
with "objdump" while disassemble. Example from powerpc with this option
for an instruction address is:
Snippet from:
objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux>
c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9)
This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name,
registers names and offset. Also to find whether there is a memory
reference in the operands, "memory_ref_char" field of objdump is used.
For x86, "(" is used as memory_ref_char to tackle instructions of the
form "mov (%rax), %rcx".
In case of powerpc, not all instructions using "(" are the only memory
instructions. Example, above instruction can also be of extended form (X
form) "lwzx r10,0,r19". Inorder to easy identify the instruction category
and extract the source/target registers, patch adds support to use raw
instruction for powerpc. Approach used is to read the raw instruction
directly from the DSO file using "dso__data_read_offset" utility which
is already implemented in perf infrastructure in "util/dso.c".
Example:
38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)
Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. In powerpc,
this translates to instruction form: "ld RT,DS(RA)" and binary code
as:
| 58 | RT | RA | DS | |
-------------------------------------
0 6 11 16 30 31
Function "symbol__disassemble_dso" is updated to read raw instruction
directly from DSO using dso__data_read_offset utility. In case of
above example, this captures:
line: 38 01 81 e8
The above works well when 'perf report' is invoked with only sort keys
for data type ie type and typeoff.
Because there is no instruction level annotation needed if only data
type information is requested for.
For annotating sample, along with type and typeoff sort key, "sym" sort
key is also needed. And by default invoking just "perf report" uses sort
key "sym" that displays the symbol information.
With approach changes in powerpc which first reads DSO for raw
instruction, "perf annotate" and "perf report" + a key breaks since
it doesn't do the instruction level disassembly.
Snippet of result from 'perf report':
Samples: 1K of event 'mem-loads', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 937238
do_work /usr/bin/pmlogger [Percent: local period]
Percent│ ea230010
│ 3a550010
│ 3a600000

│ 39490008
│ 42400438
51.44 │ 81290008
│ 7d485378
Here, raw instruction is displayed in the output instead of human
readable annotated form.
One way to get the appropriate data is to specify "--objdump path", by
which code annotation will be done. But the default behaviour will be
changed. To fix this breakage, check if "sym" sort key is set. If so
fallback and use the libcapstone/objdump way of disassmbling the sample.
With the changes and "perf report"

Just add the extern for 'sort_order' in disasm.c so that we don't end up

Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses the disasm_line__parse
function to parse disassembled line.
Example snippet from objdump:
objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux>
c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9)
This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name,
registers names and offset.
In powerpc, the approach for data type profiling uses raw instruction
instead of result from objdump to identify the instruction category and
extract the source/target registers.
Example: 38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)
Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. Add function
"disasm_line__parse_powerpc" to handle parsing of raw instruction.
Also update "struct disasm_line" to save the binary code/
With the change, function captures:
line -> "38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)"
raw instruction "38 01 81 e8"
Raw instruction is used later to extract the reg/offset fields. Macros
are added to extract opcode and register fields. "struct disasm_line"
is updated to carry union of "bytes" and "raw_insn" of 32 bit to carry raw
code (raw).
Function "disasm_line__parse_powerpc fills the raw instruction hex value
and can use macros to get opcode. There is no changes in existing code
paths, which parses the disassembled code. The size of raw instruction
depends on architecture.
In case of powerpc, the parsing the disasm line needs to handle cases
for reading binary code directly from DSO as well as parsing the objdump
result. Hence adding the logic into separate function instead of
updating "disasm_line__parse". The architecture using the instruction
name and present approach is not altered. Since this approach targets
powerpc, the macro implementation is added for powerpc as of now.
Since the disasm_line__parse is used in other cases (perf annotate) and
not only data tye profiling, the powerpc callback includes changes to
work with binary code as well as mnemonic representation.
Also in case if the DSO read fails and libcapstone is not supported, the
approach fallback to use objdump as option. Hence as option, patch has
changes to ensure objdump option also works well.

This is a bug found when implementing pretty-printing for the
landlock_add_rule system call, I decided to send this patch separately
because this is a serious bug that should be fixed fast.
I wrote a test program to do landlock_add_rule syscall in a loop,
yet perf trace -e landlock_add_rule freezes, giving no output.
This bug is introduced by the false understanding of the variable "key"
below:
```
for (key = 0; key < trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries; ++key) {
struct syscall *sc = trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key);
...
}
```
The code above seems right at the beginning, but when looking at
syscalltbl.c, I found these lines:
```
for (i = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i)
if (syscalltbl_native[i])
++nr_entries;
entries = tbl->syscalls.entries = malloc(sizeof(struct syscall) * nr_entries);
...
for (i = 0, j = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i) {
if (syscalltbl_native[i]) {
entries[j].name = syscalltbl_native[i];
entries[j].id = i;
++j;
}
}
```
meaning the key is merely an index to traverse the syscall table,
instead of the actual syscall id for this particular syscall.
So if one uses key to do trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key), because
key only goes up to trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries, for example, on
my X86_64 machine, this number is 373, it will end up neglecting all
the rest of the syscall, in my case, everything after `rseq`, because
the traversal will stop at 373, and `rseq` is the last syscall whose id
is lower than 373
in tools/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c:
```
...
[334] = "rseq",
[424] = "pidfd_send_signal",
...
```
The reason why the key is scrambled but perf trace works well is that
key is used in trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key) to do
trace->syscalls.table[id], this makes sure that the struct syscall returned
actually has an id the same value as key, making the later bpf_prog
matching all correct.
After fixing this bug, I can do perf trace on 38 more syscalls, and
because more syscalls are visible, we get 8 more syscalls that can be
augmented.

as for the perf trace output:
before
perf $ perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
[no output]
after
perf $ ./perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
0.000 ( 0.037 ms): waybar/958 faccessat2(dfd: 40, filename: "uevent") = 0
P.S. The reason why this bug was not found in the past five years is
probably because it only happens to the newer syscalls whose id is
greater, for instance, faccessat2 of id 439, which not a lot of people
care about when using perf trace.
[Arnaldo]: notes
That and the fact that the BPF code was hidden before having to use -e,
that got changed kinda recently when we switched to using BPF skels for
augmenting syscalls in 'perf trace':

I.e. from August, 2023.
One had as well to ask for BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, which now is default if all
it needs is available on the system.
I simplified the code to not expose the 'struct syscall' outside of
tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c, instead providing a function to go from
the index to the syscall id:
int syscalltbl__id_at_idx(struct syscalltbl *tbl, int idx);

Arm PMUs have a suffix, either a single decimal (armv8_pmuv3_0) or 3 hex
digits which (armv8_cortex_a53) which Perf assumes are both strippable
suffixes for the purposes of deduplication. S390 "cpum_cf" is a
similarly suffixed core PMU but is only two characters so is not treated
as strippable because the rules are a minimum of 3 hex characters or 1
decimal character.
There are two paths involved in listing PMU events:
* HW/cache event printing assumes core PMUs don't have suffixes so
doesn't try to strip.
* Sysfs PMU events share the printing function with uncore PMUs which
strips.
This results in slightly inconsistent Perf list behavior if a core PMU
has a suffix:
# perf list
...
armv8_pmuv3_0/branch-load-misses/
armv8_pmuv3/l3d_cache_wb/ [Kernel PMU event]
...
Fix it by partially reverting back to the old list behavior where
stripping was only done for uncore PMUs. For example commit 8d9f5146f5
("perf pmus: Sort pmus by name then suffix") mentions that only PMUs
starting 'uncore_' are considered to have a potential suffix. This
change doesn't go back that far, but does only strip PMUs that are
!is_core. This keeps the desirable behavior where the many possibly
duplicated uncore PMUs aren't repeated, but it doesn't break listing for
core PMUs.
Searching for a PMU continues to use the new stripped comparison
functions, meaning that it's still possible to request an event by
specifying the common part of a PMU name, or even open events on
multiple similarly named PMUs. For example:
# perf stat -e armv8_cortex/inst_retired/
5777173628 armv8_cortex_a53/inst_retired/ (99.93%)
7469626951 armv8_cortex_a57/inst_retired/ (49.88%)

Commit b2b9d3a3f0 ("perf pmu: Support wildcards on pmu name in dynamic
pmu events") gives the following example for wildcarding a subset of
PMUs:
E.g., in a system with the following dynamic pmus:
mypmu_0
mypmu_1
mypmu_2
mypmu_4
perf stat -e mypmu_[01]/<config>/
Since commit f91fa2ae63 ("perf pmu: Refactor perf_pmu__match()"), only
"*" has been supported, removing the ability to subset PMUs, even though
parse-events.l still supports ? and [] characters.
Fix it by using fnmatch() when any glob character is detected and add a
test which covers that and other scenarios of
perf_pmu__match_ignoring_suffix().

It's possible to save pipe output of perf record into a file.
$ perf record -o- ... > pipe.data
And you can use the data same as the normal perf data.
$ perf report -i pipe.data
In that case, perf tools will treat the input as a pipe, but it can get
the total size of the input. This means it can show the progress bar
unlike the normal pipe input (which doesn't know the total size in
advance).
While at it, fix the string in __perf_session__process_dir_events().

I guess the intention of the original commit was to add '!' for the

JMPABS is 64-bit absolute direct jump instruction, encoded with a mandatory
REX2 prefix. JMPABS is designed to be used in the procedure linkage table
(PLT) to replace indirect jumps, because it has better performance. In that
case the jump target will be amended at run time. To enable Intel PT to
follow the code, a TIP packet is always emitted when JMPABS is traced under
Intel PT.
Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.
Decode JMPABS as an indirect jump, because it has an associated TIP packet
the same as an indirect jump and the control flow should follow the TIP
packet payload, and not assume it is the same as the on-file object code
JMPABS target address.

Perf probe fails to find symbol foo in the executable placed in

Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test

But it works with any files like /tmp/perf/test. Only for
patterns with "/tmp/perf-", this fails.
Further debugging, commit 80d496be89 ("perf report: Add support
for profiling JIT generated code") added support for profiling JIT
generated code. This patch handles dso's of form
"/tmp/perf-$PID.map" .
The check used "if (strncmp(self->name, "/tmp/perf-", 10) == 0)"
to match "/tmp/perf-$PID.map". With this commit, any dso in
/tmp/perf- folder will be considered separately for processing
(not only JIT created map files ). Fix this by changing the
string pattern to check for "/tmp/perf-%d.map". Add a helper
function is_perf_pid_map_name to do this check. In "struct dso",
dso->long_name holds the long name of the dso file. Since the
/tmp/perf-$PID.map check uses the complete name, use dso___long_name for
the string name.
With the fix,

the IPC of the cpu_core.
In the hard-coded metrics, the events from a different PMU are only
SW_CPU_CLOCK and SW_TASK_CLOCK. They both have the stat type,
STAT_NSECS. Except the SW CLOCK events, check the PMU type as well.
Fixes: 0a57b91080 ("perf stat: Use counts rather than saved_value")
