As Namhyung Kim pointed, there are confused namings and descriptions of words
"cycle" and "clock" in mem-memset.c and mem-memcpy.c.
With the option "-c" (or "--clock", now renamed as "--cycle"), mem subsystem
measures cost of memset() and memcpy() with cpu-cycles event.
But current mem subsystem source code contains lots of confused variable
namings and descriptions with "clock" (e.g. the variable use_clock). This is a
very bad style because there is another software event named "cpu-clock". This
patch replaces wrong usage of "clock" to "cycle".
v2: modified Documentation/perf-bench.txt for the descriptions of
--cycle option

Using the guestmount option on record:
$ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -ag
But not the subsequent report:
$ perf kvm report
causes a SEGFAULT in the usual place:

The MMAP events in this case already contain the full path to the

Commit 743eb86865 reworked when the
machines were created. Prior to this commit guest machines could be
created in perf_event__process_kernel_mmap() while processing kernel
MMAP events. This commit assumes that the machines exist by the time
perf_session_deliver_event is called (e.g., during processing of build
id events) - which is not always correct.
One example is the use of default guest args (--guestkallsyms and
--guestmodules) for short times where no samples hit within a guest
module. For this case no build id is added to the file header. No build
id == no machine created. That leads to the next example -- the use of
no-buildid (-B) on the record for all perf-kvm invocations. In both
cases perf report dies with a SEGFAULT of the form:

Fix by allowing the machine to be created in perf_session_deliver_event.
Tested with --guestmount option and default guest args, with and without
-B arg on record for both and for short (10 seconds) and long (10
minutes) windows.

Consider the commands:
perf record -e sched:sched_switch -fo /tmp/perf.data -a -- sleep 1
perf script -i /tmp/perf.data
In v3.4 the output has the form (lines wrapped here)
perf 29214 [005] 821043.582596: sched_switch:
prev_comm=perf prev_pid=29214 prev_prio=120
prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
In 3.5 that same line has become:
perf 29214 [005] 821043.582596: sched_switch:
<...>-29214 [005] 0.000000000: sched_switch:
prev_comm=perf prev_pid=29214 prev_prio=120
prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
Note the duplicates in the output -- pid, cpu, event name. With
this patch the v3.4 output is restored:
perf 29214 [005] 821043.582596: sched_switch:
prev_comm=perf prev_pid=29214 prev_prio=120
prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
v3:
Remove that pesky newline too. Output now matches v3.4 (pre-libtracevent).
v2:
Change print_trace_event function local to perf per Steve's comments.

When libtraceevent parses format fields, it assumes that array of 1 byte
is string but it's not always true. The kvm_emulate_insn contains 15 u8
array of insn that contains (binary) instructions. Thus when it's
printed, it'll have broken output like below:
kvm_emulate_insn: [FAILED TO PARSE] rip=3238197797 csbase=0 len=2 \
insn=<89>P^]<B4>& flags=5 failed=0
With this patch:
kvm_emulate_insn: [FAILED TO PARSE] rip=3238197797 csbase=0 len=2 \

Ingo reported that libtraceevent doesn't clean out dependency (.d) files
and it can cause a build error when the libgcc package upgraded:
comet:~/tip/tools/perf> make -j
SUBDIR ../lib/traceevent/
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/stddef.h',
needed by `event-parse.o'. Stop.
make: *** [../lib/traceevent//libtraceevent.a] Error 2
So this patch makes the .d files depends on the source and header files
also, so that it can be re-generated as needed.
NOTE: This code is copied from the GNU make manual page
(4.14 Generating Prerequisites Automatically).

The pipeline:
perf record -a -g -o - sleep 5 |perf inject -v -b | perf report -g -i -
generates the warning:
Selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g?
The problem is that the header data is not written to the pipe, so the
sample_type has not been available when perf_report__setup_sample_type
is called. For pipe mode, record dumps the sample type as part of the
synthesized events stream -- perf_event__synthesize_attrs(). Handle this
be detecting pipe mode and not doing early sanity checks on sample_type.

The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static
and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files
use perf_session and _there_ we read the trace events description into
session->pevent and then change everywhere to stop using that single
global pevent variable and use the per session one.
Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not
interested at all in what is present in the
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis,
just in what is in the perf.data file.
This patch also introduces perf_session__set_tracepoints_handlers that
is the perf perf.data/session way to associate handlers to tracepoint
events by resolving their IDs using the events descriptions stored in a
perf.data file. Make 'perf sched' use it.

The commit c410431cef ("perf tools: Reconstruct event with modifiers
from perf_event_attr") added the line, but it's broken since it needs to
go up 3 directories to get to the kernel root directory, not 2.
However host gcc contains /usr/local/include in its search path, so that
it can find the perf_event.h in /usr/include. This why we didn't notice
the problem yet. But when I tried to cross compile it appears like:
CC util/evsel.o
util/evsel.c:18:44: error: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [util/evsel.o] Error 1
Looking at the source, it isn't needed at all as evsel.h already
included the perf_event.h. So simply remove it would solve the problem.

We want to reuse the event grammar for parsing aliased terms.
The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's
already support for this in event grammar.
Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event
parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the
starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the
lexer. The lexer then returns the starting token as the first
token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly.
Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported:
PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS
The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part
of the grammar for term parsing.
