David Ahern 251f426fdd perf evsel: Actually show symbol offset in stack trace when requested
Symbol offset is one of the fields that can be requested in perf-script.
Currently you do not get that data when requested. e.g.,

perf script -f comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,sym,symoff,ip

Jiri Olsa 3c1763115b perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value
Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period
value offered by lower layers.

There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on
event group:

Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.

And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.

Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to
actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
read format.

Example:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 36  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
  # Event count (approx.): 12585593

Jiri Olsa e4caec0d1a perf evsel: Add PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample related processing
For sample with sample type PERF_SAMPLE_READ the period value is stored
in the 'struct sample_read'.

Moreover if the read format has PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the 'struct
sample_read' contains period values for all events in the group (for
which the sample's event is a leader).

We deliver separated samples for all the values contained within the
'struct sample_read'.

Jiri Olsa c4861afe30 perf evlist: Fix event ID retrieval for group format read case
We need to fail the event ID retrieval in case both following conditions
are true:

  - we are on kernel with no PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID support
  - PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format is set

The PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format bit is the killer for retrieving event
ID out of the read syscall, because we have no guarantee of the event
placement within leader kernel sibling list.

Jiri Olsa e2b5abe0c8 perf evlist: Use PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID perf ioctl to read event id
Changing the way we retrieve the event ID. Instead of parsing out
the ID out of the read data, using the PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl.

Keeping the old way in place to support kernels without
PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl support.

This will be useful for retrieving the event ID for events
with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format set, where it's impossible
to get correct event id out of the read call data.

Andi Kleen f9ea55d0dd perf tools: Move weight back to common sort keys
This is a partial revert of Namhyung's patch

 afab87b91f
 perf sort: Separate out memory-specific sort keys

He wrote

 For global/local weights, I'm not entirely sure to place them into the
 memory dimension.  But it's the only user at this time.

Well TSX is another (in fact the original) user of the flags, and it
needs them to be common. So move local/global weight back to the common
sort keys.

Andi Kleen 99571ab3d9 perf tools: Support callchain sorting based on addresses
With programs with very large functions it can be useful to distinguish
the callgraph nodes on more than just function names. So for example if
you have multiple calls to the same function, it ends up being separate
nodes in the chain.

This patch adds a new key field to the callgraph options, that allows
comparing nodes on functions (as today, default) and addresses.

Longer term it would be nice to also handle src lines, but that would
need more changes and address is a reasonable proxy for it today.

I right now reference the global params, as there was no simple way to
register a params pointer.

Greg Price b21484f1a1 perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graph
For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented
with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation
is dominated by the different callchains within that function.  By
ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the
function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls.

For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are
scattered across the tree:

  $ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      22.03%     ruby  [.] gc_mark
                 --- gc_mark
                    |--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue
                    |          st_foreach
                    |          gc_mark_children
                    |          |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark
                    |          |          rb_vm_mark
                    |          |          gc_mark_children
                    |          |          gc_marks
                    |          |          |--99.00%-- garbage_collect

If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced:

  $ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      72.92%     ruby  [.] garbage_collect
                 --- garbage_collect
                     vm_xmalloc
                    |--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc
                    |          st_insert2
                    |          rb_hash_aset
                    |          |--98.45%-- features_index_add
                    |          |          rb_provide_feature
                    |          |          rb_require_safe
                    |          |          vm_call_method
