f3d301c1f2 perf: correct SNOOPX field offset
perf_event.h has macros that define the field offsets in the
data_src bitmask in perf records. The SNOOPX and REMOTE offsets
were both 37. These are distinct fields, and the bitfield layout
in perf_mem_data_src confirms that SNOOPX should be at offset 38.

b34133fec8 Merge tag 'perf-core-2020-08-03' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "HW support updates:

   - Add uncore support for Intel Comet Lake

   - Add RAPL support for Hygon Fam18h

   - Add Intel "IIO stack to PMON mapping" support on Skylake-SP CPUs,
     which enumerates per device performance counters via sysfs and
     enables the perf stat --iiostat functionality

   - Add support for Intel "Architectural LBRs", which generalized the
     model specific LBR hardware tracing feature into a
     model-independent, architected performance monitoring feature.

     Usage is mostly seamless to tooling, as the pre-existing LBR
     features are kept, but there's a couple of advantages under the
     hood, such as faster context-switching, faster LBR reads, cleaner
     exposure of LBR features to guest kernels, etc.

     ( Since architectural LBRs are supported via XSAVE, there's related
       changes to the x86 FPU code as well. )

  ftrace/perf updates:

   - Add support to add a text poke event to record changes to kernel
     text (i.e. self-modifying code) in order to support tracers like
     Intel PT decoding through jump labels, kprobes and ftrace
     trampolines.

  Misc cleanups, smaller fixes..."

e17d43b93e perf: Add perf text poke event
Record (single instruction) changes to the kernel text (i.e.
self-modifying code) in order to support tracers like Intel PT and
ARM CoreSight.

A copy of the running kernel code is needed as a reference point (e.g.
from /proc/kcore). The text poke event records the old bytes and the
new bytes so that the event can be processed forwards or backwards.

The basic problem is recording the modified instruction in an
unambiguous manner given SMP instruction cache (in)coherence. That is,
when modifying an instruction concurrently any solution with one or
multiple timestamps is not sufficient:

	CPU0				CPU1
 0
 1	write insn A
 2					execute insn A
 3	sync-I$
 4

Due to I$, CPU1 might execute either the old or new A. No matter where
we record tracepoints on CPU0, one simply cannot tell what CPU1 will
have observed, except that at 0 it must be the old one and at 4 it
must be the new one.

To solve this, take inspiration from x86 text poking, which has to
solve this exact problem due to variable length instruction encoding
and I-fetch windows.

 1) overwrite the instruction with a breakpoint and sync I$

This guarantees that that code flow will never hit the target
instruction anymore, on any CPU (or rather, it will cause an
exception).

 2) issue the TEXT_POKE event

 3) overwrite the breakpoint with the new instruction and sync I$

Now we know that any execution after the TEXT_POKE event will either
observe the breakpoint (and hit the exception) or the new instruction.

So by guarding the TEXT_POKE event with an exception on either side;
we can now tell, without doubt, which instruction another CPU will
have observed.

6546b19f95 perf/core: Add PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP feature
The PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit is to save (perf_event) cgroup information in
the sample.  It will add a 64-bit id to identify current cgroup and it's
the file handle in the cgroup file system.  Userspace should use this
information with PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event to match which cgroup it
belongs.

I put it before PERF_SAMPLE_AUX for simplicity since it just needs a
64-bit word.  But if we want bigger samples, I can work on that
direction too.

Committer testing:

  $ pahole perf_sample_data | grep -w cgroup -B5 -A5
  	/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
  	struct perf_regs           regs_intr;            /*   312    16 */

96aaab6865 perf/core: Add PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event
To support cgroup tracking, add CGROUP event to save a link between
cgroup path and id number.  This is needed since cgroups can go away
when userspace tries to read the cgroup info (from the id) later.

The attr.cgroup bit was also added to enable cgroup tracking from
userspace.

This event will be generated when a new cgroup becomes active.
Userspace might need to synthesize those events for existing cgroups.

Committer testing:

From the resulting kernel, using /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux:

  $ pahole perf_event_attr | grep -w cgroup -B5 -A1
  	__u64                      write_backward:1;     /*    40:27  8 */

bbfd5e4fab perf/core: Add new branch sample type for HW index of raw branch records
The low level index is the index in the underlying hardware buffer of
the most recently captured taken branch which is always saved in
branch_entries[0]. It is very useful for reconstructing the call stack.
For example, in Intel LBR call stack mode, the depth of reconstructed
LBR call stack limits to the number of LBR registers. With the low level
index information, perf tool may stitch the stacks of two samples. The
reconstructed LBR call stack can break the HW limitation.

Add a new branch sample type to retrieve low level index of raw branch
records. The low level index is between -1 (unknown) and max depth which
can be retrieved in /sys/devices/cpu/caps/branches.

Only when the new branch sample type is set, the low level index
information is dumped into the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK output.
Perf tool should check the attr.branch_sample_type, and apply the
corresponding format for PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK samples.
Otherwise, some user case may be broken. For example, users may parse a
perf.data, which include the new branch sample type, with an old version
perf tool (without the check). Users probably get incorrect information
without any warning.

a4faf00d99 perf/aux: Allow using AUX data in perf samples
AUX data can be used to annotate perf events such as performance counters
or tracepoints/breakpoints by including it in sample records when
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX flag is set. Such samples would be instrumental in debugging
and profiling by providing, for example, a history of instruction flow
leading up to the event's overflow.

The implementation makes use of grouping an AUX event with all the events
that wish to take samples of the AUX data, such that the former is the
group leader. The samplees should also specify the desired size of the AUX
sample via attr.aux_sample_size.

AUX capable PMUs need to explicitly add support for sampling, because it
relies on a new callback to take a snapshot of the buffer without touching
the event states.

ab43762ef0 perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data
In some cases, ordinary (non-AUX) events can generate data for AUX events.
For example, PEBS events can come out as records in the Intel PT stream
instead of their usual DS records, if configured to do so.

One requirement for such events is to consistently schedule together, to
ensure that the data from the "AUX output" events isn't lost while their
corresponding AUX event is not scheduled. We use grouping to provide this
guarantee: an "AUX output" event can be added to a group where an AUX event
is a group leader, and provided that the former supports writing to the
latter.

6ee52e2a3f perf, bpf: Introduce PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
For better performance analysis of BPF programs, this patch introduces
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, a new perf_event_type that exposes BPF program
load/unload information to user space.

Each BPF program may contain up to BPF_MAX_SUBPROGS (256) sub programs.
The following example shows kernel symbols for a BPF program with 7 sub
programs:

    ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_b07ccb89267cf242_F
    ffffffffa02592e1 t bpf_prog_2dcecc18072623fc_F
    ffffffffa025b0e9 t bpf_prog_bb7a405ebaec5d5c_F
    ffffffffa025dd2c t bpf_prog_a7540d4a39ec1fc7_F
    ffffffffa025fcca t bpf_prog_05762d4ade0e3737_F
    ffffffffa026108f t bpf_prog_db4bd11e35df90d4_F
    ffffffffa0263f00 t bpf_prog_89d64e4abf0f0126_F
    ffffffffa0257cf9 t bpf_prog_ae31629322c4b018__dummy_tracepoi

When a bpf program is loaded, PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL is generated for each
of these sub programs. Therefore, PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is not needed
for simple profiling.

For annotation, user space need to listen to PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and
gather more information about these (sub) programs via sys_bpf.

4f8f382e63 perf tools: Don't clone maps from parent when synthesizing forks
When synthesizing FORK events, we are trying to create thread objects
for the already running tasks on the machine.

Normally, for a kernel FORK event, we want to clone the parent's maps
because that is what the kernel just did.

But when synthesizing, this should not be done.  If we do, we end up
with overlapping maps as we process the sythesized MMAP2 events that
get delivered shortly thereafter.

Use the FORK event misc flags in an internal way to signal this
situation, so we can elide the map clone when appropriate.

6cbc304f2f perf/x86/intel: Fix unwind errors from PEBS entries (mk-II)
Vince reported the perf_fuzzer giving various unwinder warnings and
Josh reported:

And where the previous unwinder only needed BP,SP ORC also requires
IP. But we cannot spoof IP because then the sample will get displaced,
entirely negating the point of PEBS.

So cure the whole thing differently by doing the unwind early; this
does however require a means to communicate we did the unwind early.
We (ab)use an unused sample_type bit for this, which we set on events
that fill out the data->callchain before the normal
perf_prepare_sample().

101592b490 perf/core: Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE]
Store preempting context switch out event into Perf trace as a part of
PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] record.

Percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help
understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running
on a machine;

The event is treated as preemption one when task->state value of the
thread being switched out is TASK_RUNNING. Event type encoding is
implemented using PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT bit;

32ff77e8cc perf/core: Implement fast breakpoint modification via _IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES
Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT)
is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type
(bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The
only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint
event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For
example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also
concurrency bug detection tools),  monitor different addresses for a short
duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to
another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from  "write" to
a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being
monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves
unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the
perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer.

Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer
to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint
event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a
previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and
reopen another perf event.

This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future
implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its
functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in
kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called
directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl().

Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already
created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the
suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a
configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not
trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the
breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested
optimization.

Testing: tests posted at
https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the
performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional
correctness of the patch.

65074d43fc perf/core: Prepare perf_event.h for new types: 'perf_kprobe' and 'perf_uprobe'
Two new perf types, perf_kprobe and perf_uprobe, will be added to allow
creating [k,u]probe with perf_event_open. These [k,u]probe are associated
with the file decriptor created by perf_event_open(), thus are easy to
clean when the file descriptor is destroyed.

kprobe_func and uprobe_path are added to union config1 for pointers to
function name for kprobe or binary path for uprobe.

kprobe_addr and probe_offset are added to union config2 for kernel
address (when kprobe_func is NULL), or [k,u]probe offset.

f371b304f1 bpf/tracing: allow user space to query prog array on the same tp
Commit e87c6bc385 ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments
for a single perf event") added support to attach multiple
bpf programs to a single perf event.
Although this provides flexibility, users may want to know
what other bpf programs attached to the same tp interface.
Besides getting visibility for the underlying bpf system,
such information may also help consolidate multiple bpf programs,
understand potential performance issues due to a large array,
and debug (e.g., one bpf program which overwrites return code
may impact subsequent program results).

Commit 2541517c32 ("tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs
attached to kprobes") utilized the existing perf ioctl
interface and added the command PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF
to attach a bpf program to a tracepoint. This patch adds a new
ioctl command, given a perf event fd, to query the bpf program
array attached to the same perf tracepoint event.

The new uapi ioctl command:
  PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF

The new uapi/linux/perf_event.h structure:
  struct perf_event_query_bpf {
       __u32	ids_len;
       __u32	prog_cnt;
       __u32	ids[0];
  };

User space provides buffer "ids" for kernel to copy to.
When returning from the kernel, the number of available
programs in the array is set in "prog_cnt".

The usage:
  struct perf_event_query_bpf *query =
    malloc(sizeof(*query) + sizeof(u32) * ids_len);
  query.ids_len = ids_len;
  err = ioctl(pmu_efd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF, query);
  if (err == 0) {
    /* query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs,
     * number of progs in ids: (ids_len == 0) ? 0 : query.prog_cnt
     */
  } else if (errno == ENOSPC) {
    /* query.ids_len number of progs copied,
     * query.prog_cnt is the number of available progs
     */
  } else {
      /* other errors */
  }
