* perf tools: Allow auxtrace data alignmentAdrian Hunter2015-06-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Allow auxtrace data to be a multiple of something other than page size. That is needed for BTS where the buffer contains 24-byte records.

* perf record: Add AUX area tracing Snapshot Mode supportAdrian Hunter2015-05-051-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new option and support for Instruction Tracing Snapshot Mode. When the new option is selected, no AUX area tracing data is captured until a signal (SIGUSR2) is received.

* perf tools: Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude AUX area tracingAdrian Hunter2015-05-051-0/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add build option NO_AUXTRACE to exclude compiling support for AUX area tracing. Support for both recording and processing is excluded and by implication any future additions such as Intel PT and Intel BTS will also not be compiled in with this option.

* perf tools: Add AUX area tracing indexAdrian Hunter2015-05-041-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file. perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events altogether. AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND. By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual. The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file. A session reads the index but does not process it. An AUX area decoder can queue all the AUX area data in advance using auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some custom manner.

* perf auxtrace: Add a hashtable for cachingAdrian Hunter2015-04-291-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Decoding AUX area data may involve walking object code. Rather than repetitively decoding the same instructions, a cache can be used to cache the results. This patch implements a fairly generic hashtable with a 32-bit key that could be used for other purposes as well.

* perf auxtrace: Add a heap for sorting AUX area tracing queuesAdrian Hunter2015-04-291-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to process AUX area tracing data in time order, the queue with data with the lowest timestamp must be processed first. Provide a heap to keep track of which queue that is. As with the queues, a decoder does not have to use the heap, but Intel BTS and Intel PT will use it.

* perf auxtrace: Add helpers for queuing AUX area tracing dataAdrian Hunter2015-04-291-0/+87
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide functions to queue AUX area tracing data buffers for processing. A AUX area decoder need not use the queues, however Intel BTS and Intel PT will use them. There is one queue for each of the mmap buffers that were used for recording. Because those mmaps were associated with per-cpu or per-thread contexts, the data is time-ordered with respect to those contexts.

* perf session: Add instruction tracing optionsAdrian Hunter2015-04-291-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for consumption by other tools. At this time, the main use of AUX area tracing will be to capture instruction trace (aka processor trace) data. The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be added as needed.

* perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing dataAdrian Hunter2015-04-291-0/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize events transparently to the tools. The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding tool. This will work as follows: 1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come). 2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due to the auxtrace->process_event() hook. 3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event(). Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that were recorded.

* perf auxtrace: Add support for AUX area recordingAdrian Hunter2015-04-291-1/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing AUX area tracing events. This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data. Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording callbacks. Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options, populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the structure when finished.

* perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area bufferAdrian Hunter2015-04-291-0/+117
This patch supports the addition to the kernel of AUX area buffers that can be mmapped separately from the perf-events buffer. The AUX buffer can be configured to contain hardware-produced trace information. The first implementation will support Intel BTS and Intel PT. One auxtrace buffer is mmapped per perf-events buffer. If the requested auxtrace buffer size is zero, which it will be until further support is added, then no auxtrace mmapping is attempted.
