closedir(lang_dir) frees the memory of script_dirent-&gt;d_name, which
gets accessed in the next line in a call to scnprintf().

Valgrind report:

The --show-cgroup-events option is to print CGROUP events in the
output like others.

<id>urn:sha1:26567ed79d13ec54b2c5661ce8a07fd149a23a9b</id>
<content type='text'>
For some kind of analysis a deltatime output is more human friendly and
reduce the cognitive load for further analysis.

The following output demonstrate the new option "deltatime": calculate
the time difference in relation to the previous event.

  $ perf script --deltatime
  test  2525 [001]     0.000000:            sdt_libev:ev_add: (5635e72a5ebd)

Committer testing:

So go from default output to --reltime and then this new --deltatime, to
contrast the various timestamp presentation modes for a random perf.data file I
had laying around:

Andi suggested we better implement it as a new field, i.e. -F deltatime, like:

  [root@five ~]# perf script -F deltatime
  Invalid field requested.

   Usage: perf script [&lt;options&gt;]
      or: perf script [&lt;options&gt;] record &lt;script&gt; [&lt;record-options&gt;] &lt;command&gt;
      or: perf script [&lt;options&gt;] report &lt;script&gt; [script-args]
      or: perf script [&lt;options&gt;] &lt;script&gt; [&lt;record-options&gt;] &lt;command&gt;
      or: perf script [&lt;options&gt;] &lt;top-script&gt; [script-args]

      -F, --fields &lt;str&gt;    comma separated output fields prepend with 'type:'. +field to add and -field to remove.Valid types: hw,sw,trace,raw,synth. Fields: comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,event,trace,ip,sym,dso,addr,symoff,srcline,period,iregs,uregs,brstack,brstacksym,flags,bpf-output,brstackinsn,brstackoff,callindent,insn,insnlen,synth,phys_addr,metric,misc,ipc
  [root@five ~]#

I.e. we have -F for maximum flexibility:

  [root@five ~]# perf script -F comm,pid,cpu,time | head
            perf 442394 [000]  7600.157861:
            perf 442394 [000]  7600.157864:
            perf 442394 [000]  7600.157866:
            perf 442394 [000]  7600.157867:
            perf 442394 [000]  7600.157870:
            perf 442394 [001]  7600.157897:
            perf 442394 [001]  7600.157900:
            perf 442394 [001]  7600.157901:
            perf 442394 [001]  7600.157903:
            perf 442394 [001]  7600.157906:
  [root@five ~]#

But since we already have --reltime, having --deltatime, documented one after
the other is sensible.

<content type='text'>
The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.

However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack.  Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output.  Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].

To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.

Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.

Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.

Committer notes:

Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.

Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.

Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

The 'len' returned by grab_bb() includes an extra MAXINSN bytes to allow
for the last instruction, so the the final 'offs' will not be 'len'.
Fix the error condition logic accordingly.

brstackinsn must be allowed to be set by the user when AUX area data has
been captured because, in that case, the branch stack might be
synthesized on the fly. This fixes the following error:

Before:

  $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cpu/mem_inst_retired.all_loads,aux-sample-size=8192/pp}:u' grep -rqs jhgjhg /boot
  [ perf record: Woken up 19 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.274 MB perf.data ]
  $ perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed --itrace=i1usl100 | head
  Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set
  Hint: run 'perf record -b ...'

After:

  $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cpu/mem_inst_retired.all_loads,aux-sample-size=8192/pp}:u' grep -rqs jhgjhg /boot
  [ perf record: Woken up 19 times to write data ]

<content type='text'>
My earlier patch to just enable --reltime with --time was a little too
optimistic.  The --time parsing would accept absolute time, which is
very confusing to the user.

Support relative time in --time parsing too. This only works with recent
perf record that records the first sample time. Otherwise we error out.

The original --reltime patch forbid --time with --reltime.

But it turns out --time doesn't really care about --reltime, because the
relative time is only used at final output, while the time filtering
always works earlier on absolute time.

So just remove the check and allow combining the two options.

<content type='text'>
When the LBR data and the instructions in a binary do not match the loop
printing instructions could get confused and print a long stream of
bogus &lt;bad&gt; instructions.

The problem was that if the instruction decoder cannot decode an
instruction it ilen wasn't initialized, so the loop going through the
basic block would continue with the previous value.

Harden the code to avoid such problems:

- Make sure ilen is always freshly initialized and is 0 for bad
  instructions.

- Do not overrun the code buffer while printing instructions

- Print a warning message if the final jump is not on an instruction
  boundary.
