perf unwind-libunwind: Make libunwind register reading cross platform

Move the libunwind register to perf register mapping functions in
arch/../util/unwind-libunwind.c into a new libunwind-arch
directory. Rename the functions to
__get_perf_regnum_for_unw_regnum_<arch>. Add untested ppc32 and s390
functions. Add a get_perf_regnum_for_unw_regnum function that takes an
ELF machine as well as a register number and chooses the appropriate
architecture implementation.

Split the x86 and powerpc 32 and 64-bit implementations apart so that
a single libunwind-<arch>.h header is included.

Move the e_machine into the unwind_info struct to make it easier to
pass.

perf regs: Remove __weak attributive arch_sdt_arg_parse_op() function

In line with the previous patch, the __weak arch_sdt_arg_parse_op()
function is removed.

Architectural-specific implementations in the arch/ directory are now
converted into sub-functions within the util/perf-regs-arch/ directory.

The perf_sdt_arg_parse_op() function will call these sub-functions based
on the EM_HOST.

This change enables cross-architecture calls to arch_sdt_arg_parse_op().

No functional changes are intended.

perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directory

`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options.

By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot
be supported.

Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into
util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs.

Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture
name within them.

For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function.
Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by
EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change.

Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header
feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record).

The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove
across Makefiles and in the build.

Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.

perf unwind-libdw: Fix a cross-arch unwinding bug

The set_initial_registers field of Dwfl_Thread_Callbacks needs to be set
according to the arch of the stack samples being analyzed, not the arch
that perf itself is built for.

Currently perf fails to unwind stack samples collected from archs
different from that of the host perf is running on.

This patch moves the arch-specific implementations of set_initial_registers
from tools/perf/arch to tools/perf/utli/unwind-libdw-arch, similar to the
way the perf-regs-arch folder contains arch-specific functions related to
registers, and chooses the implementation based on the arch of the data
being processed.

perf build: Remove NO_AUXTRACE build option

The NO_AUXTRACE build option was used when the __get_cpuid feature
test failed or if it was provided on the command line. The option no
longer avoids a dependency on a library and so having the option is
just adding complexity to the code base. Remove the option
CONFIG_AUXTRACE from Build files and HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT by assuming
it is always defined.

perf x86: Define arch_fetch_insn in NO_AUXTRACE builds

archinsn.c containing arch_fetch_insn was only enabled with
CONFIG_AUXTRACE, but this meant that a NO_AUXTRACE build on x86 would
use the empty weak version of arch_fetch_insn - weak symbols are a
frequent source of errors like this and are outside of the C
specification. Change it so that archinsn.c is always built on x86 and
make the weak symbol empty version of arch_fetch_insn a strong one
guarded by ifdefs.

arch_fetch_insn on x86 depends on insn_decode which is a function
included then built into intel-pt-insn-decoder.c.
intel-pt-insn-decoder.c isn't built in a NO_AUXTRACE=1 build. Separate
the insn_decode function from intel-pt-insn-decoder.c by just directly
compiling the relevant file. Guard this compilation to be for either
always on x86 (because of the use in arch_fetch_insn) or when auxtrace
is enabled. Apply the CFLAGS overrides as necessary, reducing the amount
of code where warnings are disabled.

If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.

This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".

CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.

Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Committer notes:

Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:

#include <traceevent/event-parse.h>

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:

- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/

- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:

- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.

- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.

From Athira:

<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>

Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.

- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

Also from Athira:

<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>

Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

perf stat: Enable iostat mode for x86 platforms

This functionality is based on recently introduced sysfs attributes for
Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family (code name Skylake-SP):

Commit bb42b3d39781d7fc ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Expose an Uncore unit to IIO PMON mapping")

Mode is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics in MB per each
PCIe root port:

- Inbound Read: I/O devices below root port read from the host memory
- Inbound Write: I/O devices below root port write to the host memory
- Outbound Read: CPU reads from I/O devices below root port
- Outbound Write: CPU writes to I/O devices below root port

Each metric requiries only one uncore event which increments at every 4B
transfer in corresponding direction. The formulas to compute metrics
are generic:
#EventCount * 4B / (1024 * 1024)

perf tools: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample
type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample
types simultaneously.

The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. The lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample
type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture.

Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample
type for X86. Only store the lower 32 bits for the sample->weight if the
new sample type is applied. In practice, no memory access could last
than 4G cycles. No data will be lost.

If the kernel doesn't support the new sample type. Fall back to the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.

There is no impact for other architectures.

Committer notes:

Fixup related to PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE, present in acme/perf/core
but not upstream yet.

perf tools: Support the auxiliary event

On the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, an auxiliary event has to be
enabled simultaneously with the load latency event to retrieve complete
Memory Info.

Add X86 specific perf_mem_events__name() to handle the auxiliary event.

- Users are only interested in the samples of the mem-loads event.
Sample read the auxiliary event.

- The auxiliary event must be in front of the load latency event in a
group. Assume the second event to sample if the auxiliary event is the
leader.

- Add a weak is_mem_loads_aux_event() to check the auxiliary event for
X86. For other ARCHs, it always return false.

Parse the unique event name, mem-loads-aux, for the auxiliary event.

Committer notes:

According to 61b985e3e775a3a7 ("perf/x86/intel: Add perf core PMU
support for Sapphire Rapids"), ENODATA is only returned by
sys_perf_event_open() when used with these auxiliary events, with this
in evsel__open_strerror():

case ENODATA:
return scnprintf(msg, size, "Cannot collect data source with the load latency event alone. "
"Please add an auxiliary event in front of the load latency event.");

This is Ok at this point in time, but fragile long term, I pointed this
out in the e-mail thread, requesting a follow up patch to check if
ENODATA is really for this specific case.

Fixed up sizeof(MEM_LOADS_AUX_NAME) bug pointed out by Namhyung.

perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. From the Ice Lake and later platforms, the
Topdown information can be retrieved from the dedicated "metrics"
register, which isn't impacted by other events. Also, the Topdown
metrics support both per thread/process and per core measuring. Adding
Topdown metrics events as default events can enrich the default
measuring information, and would not cost any extra multiplexing.

Introduce arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to allow architecture
specific default events. Add the Topdown metrics events in the X86
specific arch_evlist__add_default_attrs(). Other architectures can add
their own default events later separately.

With the patch:

perf script: Support insn output for normal samples

perf script -F +insn was only working for PT traces because the PT
instruction decoder was filling in the insn/insn_len sample attributes.
Support it for non PT samples too on x86 using the existing x86
instruction decoder.

This adds some extra checking to ensure that we don't try to decode
instructions when using perf.data from a different architecture.

perf unwind: Separate local/remote libunwind config

CONFIG_LIBUNWIND/NO_LIBUNWIND are changed to CONFIG_LOCAL_LIBUNWIND/
NO_LOCAL_LIBUNWIND for retaining local unwind features. The new
CONFIG_LIBUNWIND stands for either local or remote or both unwind are
supported, and NO_LIBUNWIND means that neither local nor remote unwind
is supported.

LIBUNWIND_LIBS is eliminated in LDFLAGS if local libunwind is not
supported.

perf stat: Basic support for TopDown in perf stat

Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat

TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles
idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not
reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects.

This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to
--transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using
standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters
(one fixed counter)

The result are four metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring

that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level.

The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This
implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without
multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is
available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools)

The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge,
and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic
metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs.

TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to
out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of
them):

topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline
topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline
topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired
topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend
topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery
from misspeculation

These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:

FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.

Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is
specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel.
Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for
all events containing -.

The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches.

v2: Use standard sysctl read function.
v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/
v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown.
v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode
v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics
v7: Allow combining with -d
v8: Remove --single-thread again
v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_.
v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better
Paste intro into commit description.
Print error when malloc fails.
