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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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().

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.

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

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either

compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

For understanding how the workload maps to memory channels and hardware
behavior, it's very important to collect address maps with physical
addresses. For example, 3D XPoint access can only be found by filtering
the physical address.
Add a new sample type for physical address.
perf already has a facility to collect data virtual address. This patch
introduces a function to convert the virtual address to physical address.
The function is quite generic and can be extended to any architecture as
long as a virtual address is provided.
- For kernel direct mapping addresses, virt_to_phys is used to convert
the virtual addresses to physical address.
- For user virtual addresses, __get_user_pages_fast is used to walk the
pages tables for user physical address.
- This does not work for vmalloc addresses right now. These are not
resolved, but code to do that could be added.
The new sample type requires collecting the virtual address. The
virtual address will not be output unless SAMPLE_ADDR is applied.
For security, the physical address can only be exposed to root or
privileged user.

Skylake changed the encoding of the PEBS data source field.
Some combinations are not available anymore, but some new cases
e.g. for L4 cache hit are added.
Fix up the conversion table for Skylake, similar as had been done
for Nehalem.
On Skylake server the encoding for L4 actually means persistent
memory. Handle this case too.
To properly describe it in the abstracted perf format I had to add
some new fields. Since a hit can have only one level add a new
field that is an enumeration, not a bit field to describe
the level. It can describe any level. Some numbers are also
used to describe PMEM and LFB.
Also add a new generic remote flag that can be combined with
the generic level to signify a remote cache.
And there is an extension field for the snoop indication to handle
the Forward state.
I didn't add a generic flag for hops because it's not needed
for Skylake.
I changed the existing encodings for older CPUs to also fill in the
new level and remote fields.

It is often useful to know the branch types while analyzing branch data.
For example, a call is very different from a conditional branch.
Currently we have to look it up in binary while the binary may later not
be available and even the binary is available but user has to take some
time. It is very useful for user to check it directly in perf report.
Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction to get
the x86 branch type.
To keep consistent on kernel and userspace and make the classification
more common, the patch adds the common branch type classification
in perf_event.h.
The patch only defines a minimum but most common set of branch types.
PERF_BR_UNKNOWN : unknown
PERF_BR_COND ：conditional
PERF_BR_UNCOND : unconditional
PERF_BR_IND : indirect
PERF_BR_CALL : function call
PERF_BR_IND_CALL : indirect function call
PERF_BR_RET : function return
PERF_BR_SYSCALL : syscall
PERF_BR_SYSRET : syscall return
PERF_BR_COND_CALL : conditional function call
PERF_BR_COND_RET : conditional function return
The patch also adds a new field type (4 bits) in perf_branch_entry
to record the branch type.
Since the disassembling of branch instruction needs some overhead,
a new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE is introduced to indicate if it
needs to disassemble the branch instruction and record the branch
type.
Change log:
v10: Not changed.
v9: Not changed.
v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
No other change.
v7: Just keep the most common branch types.
Others are removed.
v6: Not changed.
v5: Not changed. The v5 patch series just change the userspace.
v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:
1. Remove the PERF_BR_JCC_FWD/PERF_BR_JCC_BWD, they will be
computed later in userspace.
2. Remove the "cross" field in perf_branch_entry. The cross page
computing will be done later in userspace.
