- add '-j' options to filter to enable converting native pmc
log format to json lines format to enable the use of scripts
and external tooling
% pmc filter -j pmc.log pmc.jsonl
- Record the tsc value in sampling interrupts as opposed to
recording nanotime when the sample is copied to a global log
in hardclock - potentially many milliseconds later.
- At initialize record the tsc_freq and the time of day to give
us an offset for translating the tsc values in callchain records
This adds the -U options to pmcstat which will attribute in-kernel samples
back to the user stack that invoked the system call. It is not the default,
because when looking at kernel profiles it is generally more desirable to
merge all instances of a given system call together.
Although heavily revised, this change is directly derived from D7350 by
Jonathan T. Looney.

vendor provided pmu-events tables and sundry cleanups.
The vendor pmu-events tables provide counter descriptions, default
sample rates, event, umask, and flag values for all the counter
configuration permutations. Using this gives us:
- much simpler kernel code for the MD component
- helpful long and short event descriptions
- simpler user code
- sample rates that won't overload the system
Update man page with newer sample types and remove unused sample type.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

pmcstat(8) contains an option to output sampling data in a gmon format
compatible with gprof(1). Currently, it uses the default histcounter,
which is an (unsigned short). With large sets of sampling data, it
is possible to overflow the maximum value provided by an (unsigned
short).
This change adds the -e argument to pmcstat. If -e and -g are both
specified, pmcstat will use a histcounter type of uint64_t.

When examining existing processes pmcstat fails to
correctly determine the locations of executable sections
of the process due to a miscalculated virtual load address.
This does not affect the newly launched processes as the
same value passed as a "start address" to the pmcstat_image_link()
thus nullifying the effect of it. The issue manifests itself
in processes not being reported in the pmcstat(8) output and
"dubious frames" being reported.
Fix it for now by ignoring all the sections except the executable
one. This won't fix the issue for objects with multiple
executable sections but helps in majority of real world usecases.
The real solution would be to modify the MAP-IN event to include
the appropriate load address so pmcstat(8) won't have to manually
parse object files to try to determine it.
