Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.14-2025-01-21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf-tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"There are a lot of changes in the perf tools in this cycle.

build:

- Use generic syscall table to generate syscall numbers on supported
archs

- This also enables to get rid of libaudit which was used for syscall
numbers

- Remove python2 support as it's deprecated for years

- Fix issues on static build with libzstd

perf record:

- Intel-PT supports "aux-action" config term to pause or resume
tracing in the aux-buffer. Users can start the intel_pt event as
"started-paused" and configure other events to control the Intel-PT
tracing:

# perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/aux-action=start-paused/ \
-e syscalls:sys_enter_newuname/aux-action=resume/ \
-e syscalls:sys_exit_newuname/aux-action=pause/ -- uname

This requires kernel support (which was added in v6.13)

perf lock:

- 'perf lock contention' command has an ability to symbolize locks in
dynamically allocated objects using slab cache name when it runs
with BPF. Those dynamic locks would have "&" prefix in the name to
distinguish them from ordinary (static) locks

# perf lock con -abl -E 5 sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol

2 1.95 us 1.77 us 975 ns ffff9d5e852d3498 &task_struct (mutex)
1 1.18 us 1.18 us 1.18 us ffff9d5e852d3538 &task_struct (mutex)
4 1.12 us 354 ns 279 ns ffff9d5e841ca800 &kmalloc-cg-512 (mutex)
2 859 ns 617 ns 429 ns ffffffffa41c3620 delayed_uprobe_lock (mutex)
3 691 ns 388 ns 230 ns ffffffffa41c0940 pack_mutex (mutex)

This also requires kernel/BPF support (which was added in v6.13)

perf ftrace:

- 'perf ftrace latency' command gets a couple of options to support
linear buckets instead of exponential. Also it's possible to
specify max and min latency for the linear buckets:

# perf ftrace latency -abn -T switch_mm_irqs_off --bucket-range=100 \
--min-latency=200 --max-latency=800 -- sleep 1
# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH |
0 - 200 ns | 186 | ### |
200 - 300 ns | 256 | ##### |
300 - 400 ns | 364 | ####### |
400 - 500 ns | 223 | #### |
500 - 600 ns | 111 | ## |
600 - 700 ns | 41 | |
700 - 800 ns | 141 | ## |
800 - ... ns | 169 | ### |

# statistics (in nsec)
total time: 2162212
avg time: 967
max time: 16817
min time: 132
count: 2236

- As you can see in the above example, it nows shows the statistics
at the end so that users can see the avg/max/min latencies easily

- 'perf ftrace profile' command has --graph-opts option like 'perf
ftrace trace' so that it can control the tracing behaviors in the
same way. For example, it can limit the function call depth or
threshold

perf script:

- Improve physical memory resolution in 'mem-phys-addr' script by
parsing /proc/iomem file

# perf script mem-phys-addr -- find /
...
Event: mem_inst_retired.all_loads:P
Memory type count percentage
---------------------------------------- ---------- ----------
100000000-85f7fffff : System RAM 8929 69.7
547600000-54785d23f : Kernel data 1240 9.7
546a00000-5474bdfff : Kernel rodata 490 3.8
5480ce000-5485fffff : Kernel bss 121 0.9
0-fff : Reserved 3860 30.1
100000-89c01fff : System RAM 18 0.1
8a22c000-8df6efff : System RAM 5 0.0

Others:

- 'perf test' gets --runs-per-test option to run the test cases
repeatedly. This would be helpful to see if it's flaky

- Add 'parse_events' method to Python perf extension module, so that
users can use the same event parsing logic in the python code. One
more step towards implementing perf tools in Python. :)

- Support opening tracepoint events without libtraceevent. This will
be helpful if it won't use the tracing data like in 'perf stat'

- Update ARM Neoverse N2/V2 JSON events and metrics"

bpftool: Prevent setting duplicate _GNU_SOURCE in Makefile

When building selftests with CFLAGS set via env variable, the value of
CFLAGS is propagated into bpftool Makefile (called from selftests
Makefile). This makes the compilation fail as _GNU_SOURCE is defined two
times - once from selftests Makefile (by including lib.mk) and once from
bpftool Makefile (by calling `llvm-config --cflags`):

$ CFLAGS="" make -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf
[...]
CC /bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/bpftool/btf.o
<command-line>: error: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror]
<command-line>: note: this is the location of the previous definition
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
[...]

Filter out -D_GNU_SOURCE from the result of `llvm-config --cflags` in
bpftool Makefile to prevent this error.
