recommends to run perf buildid-cache to install proper vmlinux image.

Since the -a option receives a parameter, 'v' should not be after the
option.

In addition -a option is not work for this case since the build-id cache
already has a kallsyms with same build-id so it'll fail with EEXIST.

uprobe_perf_open/close are changed to do uprobe_apply(true/false) when
the new perf event comes or goes away.

Note that currently this is very suboptimal:

- uprobe_register() called by TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER becomes a
  heavy nop, consumer->filter() always returns F at this stage.

  As it was already discussed we need uprobe_register_only() to

- uprobe_apply() is oftenly overkill. Unless "nr_systemwide != 0"
  changes we need uprobe_apply_mm(), unapply_uprobe() is almost
  what we need.

- uprobe_apply() can be simply avoided sometimes, see the next
  changes.

Testing:

Before this patch:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile

A huge ->nrhit == 79291 reflects the fact that the background process
530 constantly hits this breakpoint too, even if doesn't contribute to
the output.

After the patch:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile

Introduce uprobe_apply() which simply does register_for_each_vma() again
to consult uprobe_consumer->filter() and install/remove the breakpoints.
The only complication is that register_for_each_vma() can no longer
assume that uprobe->consumers should be consulter if is_register == T,

Unlike uprobe_register(), uprobe_apply(true) doesn't do "unregister" if

Note: we probably need to cleanup the current interface, it is strange

The patch also moves ->bp_target up so that it can overlap with the

trace_uprobe_register() will use it for prefiltering to avoid the
unnecessary breakpoints in mm's we do not want to trace.

->tp_target doesn't have its own reference, but we can rely on the

  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

In order to actually be usable in module-based tools like SystemTap, the
interface needs to be exported.  This patch first adds the obvious
exports for uprobe_register and uprobe_unregister.  Then it also adds
one for task_user_regset_view, which is necessary to get the correct
state of userspace registers.

uprobes: Teach handler_chain() to filter out the probed task

Currrently the are 2 problems with pre-filtering:

1. It is not possible to add/remove a task (mm) after uprobe_register()

2. A forked child inherits all breakpoints and uprobe_consumer can not
   control this.

This patch does the first step to improve the filtering. handler_chain()
removes the breakpoints installed by this uprobe from current->mm if all
handlers return UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE.

Note that handler_chain() relies on ->register_rwsem to avoid the race
with uprobe_register/unregister which can add/del a consumer, or even
remove and then insert the new uprobe at the same address.

Perhaps we will add uprobe_apply_mm(uprobe, mm, is_register) and teach
copy_mm() to do filter(UPROBE_FILTER_FORK), but I think this change makes
sense anyway.

Note: instead of checking the retcode from uc->handler, we could add
uc->filter(UPROBE_FILTER_BPHIT). But I think this is not optimal to
call 2 hooks in a row. This buys nothing, and if handler/filter do
something nontrivial they will probably do the same work twice.

Finally add uprobe_consumer->filter() and change consumer_filter()
to actually call this method.

Note that ->filter() accepts mm_struct, not task_struct. Because:

1. We do not have for_each_mm_user(mm, task).

2. Even if we implement for_each_mm_user(), ->filter() can
   use it itself.

3. It is not clear who will actually need this interface to
   do the "nontrivial" filtering.

Another argument is "enum uprobe_filter_ctx", consumer->filter() can
use it to figure out why/where it was called. For example, perhaps
we can add UPROBE_FILTER_PRE_REGISTER used by build_map_info() to
quickly "nack" the unwanted mm's. In this case consumer should know
that it is called under ->i_mmap_mutex.

See the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?t=135214229700002
Perhaps we should pass more arguments, vma/vaddr?

slow and ->register_rwsem allows us to do more. In particular, we

perf tools: Fix calloc argument ordering

A sweep of the kernel for regex "kcalloc(sizeof" turned up 2 reversed
args, fixed in commit d3d09e18203dba16a9dbdb2b4cc673d90748cdd1 ("EDAC:

a1b1add07fa794974573d93483d68e373edfe7bd ("gro: Fix kcalloc argument
order").

I know that was the regex used, because on seeing the 1st of these
changes, I wondered "how many other instances of this are there" and I
happened to just use "calloc(sizeof" as a regex and it in turn found
these additional reversed args instances in the perf code.

In the kcalloc cases, the changes are cosmetic, since the numbers are
simply multiplied.  I had no desire to go data mining in userspace to
see if the same thing held true there, however.

perf evlist: Make event_copy local to mmaps

I am getting segfaults *after* the time sorting of perf samples where
the event type is off the charts:

(gdb) bt
\#0  0x0807b1b2 in hists__inc_nr_events (hists=0x80a99c4, type=1163281902) at util/hist.c:1225

\#3  0x0806fc53 in process_finished_round (tool=0xffffc520, event=0x0, session=0x80a9b90) at util/session.c:645

This is bizarre because the event has already been processed once --
before it was added to the samples queue -- and the event was found to
be sane at that time.

There seem to be 2 causes:

1. perf_evlist__mmap_read updates the read location even though there
are outstanding references to events sitting in the mmap buffers via the
ordered samples queue.

2. There is a single evlist->event_copy for all evlist entries.
event_copy is used to handle an event wrapping at the mmap buffer
boundary.

This patch addresses the second problem - making event_copy local to
each perf_mmap. With this change my highly repeatable use case no longer
fails.

The first problem is much more complicated and will be the subject of a
future patch.

tracing: Init current_trace to nop_trace and remove NULL checks

On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the
static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace.
Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never
become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer.

Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses
it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time
when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be
NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the
paths to these locations would probably not be possible.

By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared,
current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these
checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be
checked in the first place.

. Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to
  what was done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.

. Add event group view, from Namyung Kim:

  To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf
  report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them
  together if --group option is provided.  You can use 'perf evlist' command to
  see event group information:

    $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]

    $ perf evlist --group
    {ref-cycles,cycles}

  With this example, default perf report will show you each event
  separately like this:

    $ perf report
    ...

         0.00%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_write_msr_safe

  In this case the event group information will be shown in the end of
  header area.  So you can use --group option to enable event group view.

    $ perf report --group
    ...
    # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}

         0.00%   0.02%  noploop  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __current_kernel_time

  As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and
  cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group {
  ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of group leader
  first.

  If perf.data file doesn't contain group information, this --group
  option does nothing.  So if you want enable event group view by
  default you can set it in ~/.perfconfig file:

    $ cat ~/.perfconfig
    [report]
    group = true

  It can be overridden with command line if you want:

    $ perf report --no-group
