Peter Zijlstra 1c432d899d perf_counter: Rename enums
Rename the perf enums to be in the 'perf_' namespace and strictly
enumerate the ABI bits.

Ingo Molnar 729ff5e2aa perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usage
A build error slipped in:

 builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
 builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

Peter Zijlstra 0764771dab perf_counter: More paranoia settings
Rename the perf_counter_priv knob to perf_counter_paranoia (because
priv can be read as private, as opposed to privileged) and provide
one more level:

 0 - permissive
 1 - restrict cpu counters to privilidged contexts
 2 - restrict kernel-mode code counting and profiling

Paul Mackerras 106b506c3a perf_counter: powerpc: Implement generalized cache events for POWER processors
This adds tables of event codes for the generalized cache events for
all the currently supported powerpc processors: POWER{4,5,5+,6,7} and
PPC970*, plus powerpc-specific code to use these tables when a
generalized cache event is requested.

This adds the back-end for the PMU on POWER7 processors.  POWER7

(which do respect the freeze conditions, can generate interrupts,

Peter Zijlstra 9e350de37a perf_counter: Accurate period data
We currently log hw.sample_period for PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, however this is
incorrect. When we adjust the period, it will only take effect the next
cycle but report it for the current cycle. So when we adjust the period
for every cycle, we're always wrong.

Solve this by keeping track of the last_period.

Currently report and stat catch SIGINT (and others) without altering
their exit state. This means that things like:

Create the counter in a disabled state and only enable it after we

observe the frequency ramp).

Furthermore, print the period in the verbose report.

Peter Zijlstra bd2b5b1284 perf_counter: More aggressive frequency adjustment
Also employ the overflow handler to adjust the frequency, this results
in a stable frequency in about 40~50 samples, instead of that many ticks.

This also means we can start sampling at a sample period of 1 without
running head-first into the throttle.

It relies on sched_clock() to accurately measure the time difference
between the overflow NMIs.

Pekka Enberg 80d496be89 perf report: Add support for profiling JIT generated code
This patch adds support for profiling JIT generated code to 'perf
report'. A JIT compiler is required to generate a "/tmp/perf-$PID.map"
symbols map that is parsed when looking and displaying symbols.

Frederic Weisbecker 2f01190aa6 perf top: Wait for a minimal set of events before reading first snapshot
The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have
been read in the mapped perfcounter files.

Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the
snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be
displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate.

Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before
"print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this
value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it.
Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the
first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is
tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a
minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case
of high samples filters.

Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default
case.

Arjan van de Ven e9fbc9dc92 perf_counter tools: Initialize a stack variable before use
the "perf report" utility crashed in some circumstances
because the "sym" stack variable was not initialized before used
(as also proven by valgrind).

With this fix both the crash goes away and valgrind no longer complains.

Ingo Molnar 39273ee975 perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directory
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.

The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.

The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
tools can pick it up automatically.

Ingo Molnar 8326f44da0 perf_counter: Implement generalized cache event types
Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
method.

This is a 3-dimensional space:

       { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
       { load, store, prefetch } x
       { accesses, misses }

User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
combination makes sense.)

Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.

Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
both valid aliases.

( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
  and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

Ingo Molnar a21ca2cac5 perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->config
Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.

Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.

Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
all around counter attribute management.

The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).

(This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
(PowerPC build-tested.)
