Subject: [PATCH 1/9] perf tools: Fix build on powerpc broken by pt/bts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It is theoretically possible to process perf.data files created on x86
and that contain Intel PT or Intel BTS data, on any other architecture,
which is why it is possible for there to be build errors on powerpc
caused by pt/bts.

The errors were:

	util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-insn-decoder.c: In function ‘intel_pt_insn_decoder’:
	util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-insn-decoder.c:138:3: error: switch missing default case [-Werror=switch-default]
	   switch (insn->immediate.nbytes) {
	   ^
	cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

	linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `intel_pt_synth_branch_sample':
	sources/linux-acme.git/tools/perf/util/intel-pt.c:871: undefined reference to `tsc_to_perf_time'
	linux-acme.git/tools/perf/perf-obj/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `intel_pt_sample':

Subject: [PATCH 2/9] bpf tools: New API to get name from a BPF object

Before this patch there's no way to connect a loaded bpf object
to its source file. However, during applying perf's '--filter' to BPF
object, without this connection makes things harder, because perf loads
all programs together, but '--filter' setting is for each object.

The API of bpf_object__open_buffer() is changed to allow passing a name.
Fortunately, at this time there's only one user of it (perf test LLVM),
so we change it together.

Subject: [PATCH 4/9] perf script: Enable printing of interrupted machine state

This patch adds the output of the interrupted machine state (iregs) to
perf script. It presents them  as NAME:VALUE so this is easy to parse
during post processing.

To capture the interrupted machine state:
   $ perf record -I ....

to display iregs, use the -F option:

   $ perf script -F ip,iregs

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] perf record: Add ability to name registers to record

This patch modifies the -I/--int-regs option to enablepassing the name
of the registers to sample on interrupt. Registers can be specified by
their symbolic names. For instance on x86, --intr-regs=ax,si.

The motivation is to reduce the size of the perf.data file and the
overhead of sampling by only collecting the registers useful to a
specific analysis. For instance, for value profiling, sampling only the
registers used to passed arguements to functions.

With no parameter, the --intr-regs still records all possible registers
based on the architecture.

To name registers, it is necessary to use the long form of the option,
i.e., --intr-regs:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=si,di,r8,r9 .....

To record any possible registers:

  $ perf record -I .....
  $ perf report --intr-regs ...

To display the register, one can use perf report -D

To list the available registers:

  $ perf record --intr-regs=\?
  available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

Subject: [PATCH 7/9] perf dwarf: Fix potential array out of bounds access

There is a problem in the dwarf-regs.c files for sh, sparc and x86 where
it is possible to make an out-of-bounds array access when searching for
register names.

This patch fixes it by replacing '<=' to '<', so when register (number
== XXX_MAX_REGS), get_arch_regstr() will return NULL.

 problem

I hit following building error randomly:

    LINK     /path/to/kernel/buildperf/plugin_function.so

This is caused by tools/perf/util/intel-pt-decoder/Build that, it tries
to generate $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder/inat-tables.c atomatically
but forget to ensure the existance of $(OUTPUT)util/intel-pt-decoder
directory.

This patch fixes it by adding $(call rule_mkdir) like other similar rules.

Subject: [PATCH 9/9] perf tools: Fix link time error with sample_reg_masks on
 non x86

This patch makes perf compile on non x86 platforms by defining a weak
symbol for sample_reg_masks[] in util/perf_regs.c.

The patch also moves the REG() and REG_END() macros into the
util/per_regs.h header file. The macros are renamed to
SMPL_REG/SMPL_REG_END to avoid clashes with other header files.
