As the "perf_" prefix should be restricted to functions and types in
tools/lib/perf/, aka libperf, this way we reduce a bit the confusion for
types only in libperf or the ones in the more contained tools/perf/

Allow for a synthesized branch stack to be added to samples. As with
synthesized call chains, the sample type cannot be changed because it is
needed to continue to parse events. So add and use helper function
evsel__has_br_stack() to indicate a branch stack, whether original or
synthesized.

Change Intel PT's branch stack support to use thread stacks. The
advantages of using branch stack support from the thread-stack are:
1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces
This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.
While the 2 approaches are not identical, in simple cases the results
can be identical e.g.
Before:
# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt// uname
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp1.txt
After:
# perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp2.txt
# diff -s cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

Intel PT already has support for creating branch stacks for each context
(per-cpu or per-thread). In the more common per-cpu case, the branch stack
is not separated for different threads, instead being cleared in between
each sample.
That approach will not work very well for adding branch stacks to
regular events. The branch stacks really need to be accumulated
separately for each thread.
As a start to accomplishing that, this patch adds support for putting
branch stack support into the thread-stack. The advantages are:
1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces
This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.

Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric
expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known
while creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime
to the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events
out of single metric event added in JSON file.
Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific
function, returns the count of metric events need to be created. By
default it return 1.
This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events.
"hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the data is
requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented in header.c
which extract number of sockets from sysfs file "sockets" under
"/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".
With this patch basically we are trying to create as many metric events
as define by runtime_param.
For that one loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric', which
create multiple events at run time depend on return value of
'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'.
To achieve that we are actually passing this parameter value as part of
`expr__find_other` function and changing "?" present in metric
expression with this value.
As in our JSON file, there gonna be single metric event, and out of
which we are creating multiple events.
To understand which data count belongs to which parameter value,
we also printing param value in generic_metric function.
For example,
command:# ./perf stat -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000
1.000101867 9,356,933 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0
1.000101867 9,366,134 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1
2.000314878 9,365,868 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_0
2.000314878 9,366,092 hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ # 2.3 GHz PowerBUS_Frequency_1
So, here _0 and _1 after PowerBUS_Frequency specify parameter value.

The synthesize benchmark, run on a single process and thread, shows
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events as the hottest function with fgets
and sscanf taking the majority of execution time.
fscanf performs similarly well. Replace the scanf call with manual
reading of each field of the /proc/pid/maps line, and remove some
unnecessary buffering.
This change also addresses potential, but unlikely, buffer overruns for
the string values read by scanf.

To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which
is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming.
Mimic perf top way of handling the option.
If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before
this option.
On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't
slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has
some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with
>100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of
seconds and in this case having the option is desirable.
As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if
Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in
place:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/
shows:
...
- 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads
- 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread
+ 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events
+ 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0
+ 1.49% process_synthesized_event
+ 1.29% __GI___readdir64
+ 0.60% __opendir
...
That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to
make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch:

Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1
thread to 2.269 usec with 8. This isn't a linear speed up as not all of
synthesize code has been made parallel. If the synthesis time was about
10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.

As the code comments in perf_stat_process_counter() say, we calculate
counter's data every interval, and the display code shows ps->res_stats
avg value. We need to zero the stats for interval mode.
But the current code only zeros the res_stats[0], it doesn't zero the
res_stats[1] and res_stats[2], which are for ena and run of counter.
This patch zeros the whole res_stats[] for interval mode.

Perf checks the duplicate entries in a callchain before adding an entry.
However the check is very slow especially with deeper call stack.
Almost ~50% elapsed time of perf report is spent on the check when the
call stack is always depth of 32.
The hist_entry__cmp() is used to compare the new entry with the old
entries. It will go through all the available sorts in the sort_list,
and call the specific cmp of each sort, which is very slow.
Actually, for most cases, there are no duplicate entries in callchain.
The symbols are usually different. It's much faster to do a quick check
for symbols first. Only do the full cmp when the symbols are exactly the
same.
The quick check is only to check symbols, not dso. Export
_sort__sym_cmp.

With the LBR stitching approach, the reconstructed LBR call stack
can break the HW limitation. However, it may reconstruct invalid call
stacks in some cases, e.g. exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp.
Also, it may impact the processing time especially when the number of
samples with stitched LBRs are huge.
Add an option to enable the approach.
The option must be used with --call-graph lbr.

For a call stack which is deeper than LBR limit, HW will overwrite the
LBR register with oldest branch. Only partial call stacks can be
reconstructed.
However, the overwritten LBRs may still be retrieved from previous
sample. At that moment, HW hasn't overwritten the LBR registers yet.
Perf tools can stitch those overwritten LBRs on current call stacks to
get a more complete call stack.
To determine if LBRs can be stitched, perf tools need to compare current
sample with previous sample.
- They should have identical LBR records (Same from, to and flags
values, and the same physical index of LBR registers).
- The searching starts from the base-of-stack of current sample.
Once perf determines to stitch the previous LBRs, the corresponding LBR
cursor nodes will be copied to 'lists'. The 'lists' is to track the LBR
cursor nodes which are going to be stitched.
When the stitching is over, the nodes will not be freed immediately.
They will be moved to 'free_lists'. Next stitching may reuse the space.
Both 'lists' and 'free_lists' will be freed when all samples are
processed.
Committer notes:
Fix the intel-pt.c initialization of the union with 'struct
branch_flags', that breaks the build with its unnamed union on older gcc
versions.
Uninline thread__free_stitch_list(), as it grew big and started dragging
includes to thread.h, so move it to thread.c where what it needs in
terms of headers are already there.
This fixes the build in several systems such as debian:experimental when
cross building to the MIPS32 architecture, i.e. in the other cases what
was needed was being included by sheer luck.

The cursor nodes which generates from sample are eventually added into
callchain. To avoid generating cursor nodes from previous samples again,
the previous cursor nodes are also saved for LBR stitching approach.
Some option, e.g. hide-unresolved, may hide some LBRs. Add a variable
'valid' in struct callchain_cursor_node to indicate this case. The LBR
stitching approach will only append the valid cursor nodes from previous
samples later.

The LBR stitch approach should be disabled by default. Because
- The stitching approach base on LBR call stack technology. The known
limitations of LBR call stack technology still apply to the approach,
e.g. Exception handing such as setjmp/longjmp will have calls/returns
not match.
- This approach is not foolproof. There can be cases where it creates
incorrect call stacks from incorrect matches. There is no attempt to
validate any matches in another way.
The 'lbr_stitch_enable' is used to indicate whether enable LBR stitch
approach, which is disabled by default. The following patch will
introduce a new option for each tools to enable the LBR stitch
approach.

The current rXXXX event specification creates event under PERF_TYPE_RAW
pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX within pmu syntax, so it's
type is used via the following syntax:
-e 'cpu/r3c/'
-e 'cpum_cf/r0/'
The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the same way as
in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is filled with pmu type.
Committer testing:
So, lets see what goes in perf_event_attr::config for, say, the
'instructions' PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE (0) event, first we should look at how
to encode this event as a PERF_TYPE_RAW event for this specific CPU, an
AMD Ryzen 5:
# cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions
event=0xc0
#
Then try with it _and_ the instruction, just to see that they are close
enough:
# perf stat -e rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
919,794 rc0
919,898 instructions
1.000754579 seconds time elapsed
0.000715000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
#
Now we should try, before this patch, the PMU event encoding:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/ sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu/rc0/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore
#
Now with this patch, the three ways of specifying the 'instructions' CPU
counter are accepted:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/,rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
892,948 cpu/rc0/
893,052 rc0

When it is not possible for a non-privilege perf command to monitor at
the kernel level (:k), the fallback code forces a :u. That works if the
event was previously monitoring both levels. But if the event was
already constrained to kernel only, then it does not make sense to
restrict it to user only.
Given the code works by exclusion, a kernel only event would have:
attr->exclude_user = 1
The fallback code would add:
attr->exclude_kernel = 1
In the end the end would not monitor in either the user level or kernel
level. In other words, it would count nothing.
An event programmed to monitor kernel only cannot be switched to user
only without seriously warning the user.
This patch forces an error in this case to make it clear the request
cannot really be satisfied.

New behavior with paranoid 2:

$ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1
Error:
You may not have permission to collect stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1

When AUX area events are used in sampling mode, they must be the group
leader, but the group leader is also used for leader-sampling. However,
it is not desirable to use an AUX area event as the leader for
leader-sampling, because it doesn't have any samples of its own. To support
leader-sampling with AUX area events, use the 2nd event of the group as the
"leader" for the purposes of leader-sampling.
Example:
# perf record --kcore --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//,cycles,instructions}:S' -c 10000 uname
[ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.786 MB perf.data ]
# perf report
Samples: 380 of events 'anon group { cycles, instructions }', Event count (approx.): 3026164

Tools find the correct evsel, and therefore read format, using the event
ID, so it isn't necessary for all read formats to be the same. In the
case of leader-sampling of AUX area events, dummy tracking events will
have a different read format, so relax the validation to become a debug
message only.

Move leader-sampling configuration in preparation for adding support for
leader sampling with AUX area events.
Committer notes:
It only makes sense when configuring an evsel that is part of an evlist,
so the only case where it is called outside perf_evlist__config(), in
some 'perf test' entry, is safe, and even there we should just use
perf_evlist__config(), but since in that case we have just one evsel in
the evlist, it is equivalent.
Also fixed up this problem:
util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’:
util/record.c:223:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’
223 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel, evlist);

For reporting purposes, an evsel sample can have a callchain synthesized
from AUX area data. Add support for keeping track of synthesized sample
types. Note, the recorded sample_type cannot be changed because it is
needed to continue to parse events.

Using 'type' variable for checking for callchains is equivalent to using
evsel__has_callchain(evsel) and is how the other PERF_SAMPLE_ bits are checked
in this function, so use it to be consistent.
