Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.6-1-2023-09-05' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"perf tools maintainership:

- Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees and
branches to the MAINTAINERS file. That is where development now
takes place and myself and Namhyung Kim have write access, more
people to come as we emulate other maintainer groups.

perf record:

- Record kernel data maps when 'perf record --data' is used, so that
global variables can be resolved and used in tools that do data
profiling.

perf trace:

- Remove the old, experimental support for BPF events in which a .c
file was passed as an event: "perf trace -e hello.c" to then get
compiled and loaded.

The only known usage for that, that shipped with the kernel as an
example for such events, augmented the raw_syscalls tracepoints and
was converted to a libbpf skeleton, reusing all the user space
components and the BPF code connected to the syscalls.

In the end just the way to glue the BPF part and the user space
type beautifiers changed, now being performed by libbpf skeletons.

The next step is to use BTF to do pretty printing of all syscall
types, as discussed with Alan Maguire and others.

Now, on a perf built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 we get most if not all
path/filenames/strings, some of the networking data structures,
perf_event_attr, etc, i.e. systemwide tracing of nanosleep calls
and perf_event_open syscalls while 'perf stat' runs 'sleep' for 5
seconds:

perf annotate:

- Building with binutils' libopcode now is opt-in (BUILD_NONDISTRO=1)
for licensing reasons, and we missed a build test on
tools/perf/tests makefile.

Since we now default to NDEBUG=1, we ended up segfaulting when
building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 because a needed initialization
routine was being "error checked" via an assert.

Fix it by explicitly checking the result and aborting instead if it
fails.

We better back propagate the error, but at least 'perf annotate' on
samples collected for a BPF program is back working when perf is
built with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

perf report/top:

- Add back TUI hierarchy mode header, that is seen when using 'perf
report/top --hierarchy'.

- Fix the number of entries for 'e' key in the TUI that was
preventing navigation of lines when expanding an entry.

perf report/script:

- Support cross platform register handling, allowing a perf.data file
collected on one architecture to have registers sampled correctly
displayed when analysis tools such as 'perf report' and 'perf
script' are used on a different architecture.

- Fix handling of event attributes in pipe mode, i.e. when one uses:

perf record -o - | perf report -i -

When no perf.data files are used.

- Handle files generated via pipe mode with a version of perf and
then read also via pipe mode with a different version of perf,
where the event attr record may have changed, use the record size
field to properly support this version mismatch.

perf probe:

- Accessing global variables from uprobes isn't supported, make the
error message state that instead of stating that some minimal
kernel version is needed to have that feature. This seems just a
tool limitation, the kernel probably has all that is needed.

perf tests:

- Fix a reference count related leak in the dlfilter v0 API where the
result of a thread__find_symbol_fb() is not matched with an
addr_location__exit() to drop the reference counts of the resolved
components (machine, thread, map, symbol, etc). Add a dlfilter test
to make sure that doesn't regresses.

- Lots of fixes for the 'perf test' written in shell script related
to problems found with the shellcheck utility.

- Fixes for 'perf test' shell scripts testing features enabled when
perf is built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, such as 'perf stat' bpf
counters.

- Add perf record sample filtering test, things like the following
example, that gets implemented as a BPF filter attached to the
event:

# perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip < 0xffffffff00000000'

- Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is
linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more
expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.

- Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well
via the RiscV tree, same contents).

libperf:

- Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree,
same contents).

perf script:

- New tool that converts perf.data files to the firefox profiler
format so that one can use the visualizer at
https://profiler.firefox.com/. Done by Anup Sharma as part of this
year's Google Summer of Code.

One can generate the output and upload it to the web interface but
Anup also automated everything:

perf script gecko -F 99 -a sleep 60

- Support syscall name parsing on arm64.

- Print "cgroup" field on the same line as "comm".

perf bench:

- Add new 'uprobe' benchmark to measure the overhead of uprobes
with/without BPF programs attached to it.

- breakpoints are not available on power9, skip that test.

perf stat:

- Add #num_cpus_online literal to be used in 'perf stat' metrics, and
add this extra 'perf test' check that exemplifies its purpose:

TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus_online",
expr__parse(&num_cpus_online, ctx, "#num_cpus_online") == 0);
TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus", expr__parse(&num_cpus, ctx, "#num_cpus") == 0);
TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus >= #num_cpus_online", num_cpus >= num_cpus_online);

Miscellaneous:

- Improve tool startup time by lazily reading PMU, JSON, sysfs data.

- Improve error reporting in the parsing of events, passing YYLTYPE
to error routines, so that the output can show were the parsing
error was found.

- Add 'perf test' entries to check the parsing of events
improvements.

- Fix various leak for things detected by -fsanitize=address, mostly
things that would be freed at tool exit, including:

- Free evsel->filter on the destructor.

- Allow tools to register a thread->priv destructor and use it in
'perf trace'.

- Free evsel->priv in 'perf trace'.

- Free string returned by synthesize_perf_probe_point() when the
caller fails to do all it needs.

- Adjust various compiler options to not consider errors some
warnings when building with broken headers found in things like
python, flex, bison, as we otherwise build with -Werror. Some for
gcc, some for clang, some for some specific version of those, some
for some specific version of flex or bison, or some specific
combination of these components, bah.

- Allow customization of clang options for BPF target, this helps
building on gentoo where there are other oddities where BPF targets
gets passed some compiler options intended for the native build, so
building with WERROR=0 helps while these oddities are fixed.

- Dont pass ERR_PTR() values to perf_session__delete() in 'perf top'
and 'perf lock', fixing some segfaults when handling some odd
failures.

- Add LTO build option.

- Fix format of unordered lists in the perf docs
(tools/perf/Documentation)

- Overhaul the bison files, using constructs such as YYNOMEM.

- Remove unused tokens from the bison .y files.

- Add more comments to various structs.

- A few LoongArch enablement patches.

Vendor events (JSON):

- Add JSON metrics for Yitian 710 DDR (aarch64). Things like:

EventName, BriefDescription
visible_window_limit_reached_rd, "At least one entry in read queue reaches the visible window limit.",
visible_window_limit_reached_wr, "At least one entry in write queue reaches the visible window limit.",
op_is_dqsosc_mpc , "A DQS Oscillator MPC command to DRAM.",
op_is_dqsosc_mrr , "A DQS Oscillator MRR command to DRAM.",
op_is_tcr_mrr , "A Temperature Compensated Refresh(TCR) MRR command to DRAM.",

- Add AmpereOne metrics (aarch64).

- Update N2 and V2 metrics (aarch64) and events using Arm telemetry
repo.

- Update scale units and descriptions of common topdown metrics on
aarch64. Things like:
- "MetricExpr": "stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles)",
- "BriefDescription": "Frontend bound L1 topdown metric",
+ "MetricExpr": "100 * (stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles))",
+ "BriefDescription": "This metric is the percentage of total slots that were stalled due to resource constraints in the frontend of the processor.",

- Update events for intel: meteorlake to 1.04, sapphirerapids to
1.15, Icelake+ metric constraints.

- Update files for the power10 platform"

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.4-3-2023-05-06' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"Third version of perf tool updates, with the build problems with with
using a 'vmlinux.h' generated from the main build fixed, and the bpf
skeleton build disabled by default.

Build:

- Require libtraceevent to build, one can disable it using
NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1.

It is required for tools like 'perf sched', 'perf kvm', 'perf
trace', etc.

libtraceevent is available in most distros so installing
'libtraceevent-devel' should be a one-time event to continue
building perf as usual.

Using NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 produces tooling that is functional and
sufficient for lots of users not interested in those libtraceevent
dependent features.

- Allow Python support in 'perf script' when libtraceevent isn't
linked, as not all features requires it, for instance Intel PT does
not use tracepoints.

- Error if the python interpreter needed for jevents to work isn't
available and NO_JEVENTS=1 isn't set, preventing a build without
support for JSON vendor events, which is a rare but possible
condition. The two check error messages:

$(error ERROR: No python interpreter needed for jevents generation. Install python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.)
$(error ERROR: Python interpreter needed for jevents generation too old (older than 3.6). Install a newer python or build with NO_JEVENTS=1.)

- Make libbpf 1.0 the minimum required when building with out of
tree, distro provided libbpf.

- Use libsdtc++'s and LLVM's libcxx's __cxa_demangle, a portable C++
demangler, add 'perf test' entry for it.

- Make binutils libraries opt in, as distros disable building with it
due to licensing, they were used for C++ demangling, for instance.

- Switch libpfm4 to opt-out rather than opt-in, if libpfm-devel (or
equivalent) isn't installed, we'll just have a build warning:

Makefile.config:1144: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev

- Add a feature test for scandirat(), that is not implemented so far
in musl and uclibc, disabling features that need it, such as
scanning for tracepoints in /sys/kernel/tracing/events.

perf BPF filters:

- New feature where BPF can be used to filter samples, for instance:

$ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'period > 1000' true
$ sudo ./perf script
perf-exec 2273949 546850.708501: 5029 cycles: ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms])

- In addition to 'period' (PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD), the other
PERF_SAMPLE_ can be used for filtering, and also some other sample
accessible values, from tools/perf/Documentation/perf-record.txt:

Essentially the BPF filter expression is:

<term> <operator> <value> (("," | "||") <term> <operator> <value>)*

The <term> can be one of:
ip, id, tid, pid, cpu, time, addr, period, txn, weight, phys_addr,
code_pgsz, data_pgsz, weight1, weight2, weight3, ins_lat, retire_lat,
p_stage_cyc, mem_op, mem_lvl, mem_snoop, mem_remote, mem_lock,
mem_dtlb, mem_blk, mem_hops

The <operator> can be one of:
==, !=, >, >=, <, <=, &

The <value> can be one of:
<number> (for any term)
na, load, store, pfetch, exec (for mem_op)
l1, l2, l3, l4, cxl, io, any_cache, lfb, ram, pmem (for mem_lvl)
na, none, hit, miss, hitm, fwd, peer (for mem_snoop)
remote (for mem_remote)
na, locked (for mem_locked)
na, l1_hit, l1_miss, l2_hit, l2_miss, any_hit, any_miss, walk, fault (for mem_dtlb)
na, by_data, by_addr (for mem_blk)
hops0, hops1, hops2, hops3 (for mem_hops)

perf lock contention:

- Show lock type with address.

- Track and show mmap_lock, siglock and per-cpu rq_lock with address.
This is done for mmap_lock by following the current->mm pointer:

$ sudo ./perf lock con -abl -- sleep 10

- Update default map size to 16384.

- Allocate single letter option -M for --map-nr-entries, as it is
proving being frequently used.

- Fix struct rq lock access for older kernels with BPF's CO-RE
(Compile once, run everywhere).

- Fix problems found with MSAn.

perf report/top:

- Add inline information when using --call-graph=fp or lbr, as was
already done to the --call-graph=dwarf callchain mode.

- Improve the 'srcfile' sort key performance by really using an
optimization introduced in 6.2 for the 'srcline' sort key that
avoids calling addr2line for comparision with each sample.

perf sched:

- Make 'perf sched latency/map/replay' to use "sched:sched_waking"
instead of "sched:sched_waking", consistent with 'perf record'
since d566a9c2d482 ("perf sched: Prefer sched_waking event when it
exists").

perf ftrace:

- Make system wide the default target for latency subcommand, run the
following command then generate some network traffic and press
control+C:

# perf ftrace latency -T __kfree_skb
^C

#

perf top:

- Add --branch-history (LBR: Last Branch Record) option, just like
already available for 'perf record'.

- Fix segfault in thread__comm_len() where thread->comm was being
used outside thread->comm_lock.

perf annotate:

- Allow configuring objdump and addr2line in ~/.perfconfig., so that
you can use alternative binaries, such as llvm's.

perf kvm:

- Add TUI mode for 'perf kvm stat report'.

Reference counting:

- Add reference count checking infrastructure to check for use after
free, done to the 'cpumap', 'namespaces', 'maps' and 'map' structs,
more to come.

To build with it use -DREFCNT_CHECKING=1 in the make command line
to build tools/perf. Documented at:

https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reference_Count_Checking

- The above caught, for instance, fix, present in this series:

- Fix maps use after put in 'perf test "Share thread maps"':

'maps' is copied from leader, but the leader is put on line 79
and then 'maps' is used to read the reference count below - so
a use after put, with the put of maps happening within
thread__put.

Fixed by reversing the order of puts so that the leader is put
last.

- Also several fixes were made to places where reference counts were
not being held.

- Make this one of the tests in 'make -C tools/perf build-test' to
regularly build test it and to make sure no direct access to the
reference counted structs are made, doing that via accessors to
check the validity of the struct pointer.

ARM64:

- Fix 'perf report' segfault when filtering coresight traces by
sparse lists of CPUs.

- Add support for 'simd' as a sort field for 'perf report', to show
ARM's NEON SIMD's predicate flags: "partial" and "empty".

arm64 vendor events:

- Add N1 metrics.

Intel vendor events:

- Add graniterapids, grandridge and sierraforrest events.

- Refresh events for: alderlake, aldernaken, broadwell, broadwellde,
broadwellx, cascadelakx, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex,
jaketown, meteorlake, knightslanding, sandybridge, sapphirerapids,
silvermont, skylake, tigerlake and westmereep-dp

- Refresh metrics for alderlake-n, broadwell, broadwellde,
broadwellx, haswell, haswellx, icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown and
skylakex.

perf stat:

- Implement --topdown using JSON metrics.

- Add TopdownL1 JSON metric as a default if present, but disable it
for now for some Intel hybrid architectures, a series of patches
addressing this is being reviewed and will be submitted for v6.5.

- Use metrics for --smi-cost.

- Update topdown documentation.

Vendor events (JSON) infrastructure:

- Add support for computing and printing metric threshold values. For
instance, here is one found in thesapphirerapids json file:

{
"BriefDescription": "Percentage of cycles spent in System Management Interrupts.",
"MetricExpr": "((msr@aperf@ - cycles) / msr@aperf@ if msr@smi@ > 0 else 0)",
"MetricGroup": "smi",
"MetricName": "smi_cycles",
"MetricThreshold": "smi_cycles > 0.1",
"ScaleUnit": "100%"
},

- Test parsing metric thresholds with the fake PMU in 'perf test
pmu-events'.

- Support for printing metric thresholds in 'perf list'.

- Add --metric-no-threshold option to 'perf stat'.

- Add rand (reverse and) and has_pmem (optane memory) support to
metrics.

- Sort list of input files to avoid depending on the order from
readdir() helping in obtaining reproducible builds.

S/390:

- Add common metrics: - CPI (cycles per instruction), prbstate (ratio
of instructions executed in problem state compared to total number
of instructions), l1mp (Level one instruction and data cache misses
per 100 instructions).

- Add cache metrics for z13, z14, z15 and z16.

- Add metric for TLB and cache.

ARM:

- Add raw decoding for SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) v1.3 MTE
(Memory Tagging Extension) and MOPS (Memory Operations) load/store.

Intel PT hardware tracing:

- Add event type names UINTR (User interrupt delivered) and UIRET
(Exiting from user interrupt routine), documented in table 32-50
"CFE Packet Type and Vector Fields Details" in the Intel Processor
Trace chapter of The Intel SDM Volume 3 version 078.

- Add support for new branch instructions ERETS and ERETU.

- Fix CYC timestamps after standalone CBR

ARM CoreSight hardware tracing:

- Allow user to override timestamp and contextid settings.

- Fix segfault in dso lookup.

- Fix timeless decode mode detection.

- Add separate decode paths for timeless and per-thread modes.

auxtrace:

- Fix address filter entire kernel size.

Miscellaneous:

- Fix use-after-free and unaligned bugs in the PLT handling routines.

- Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free.

- Add missing 0x prefix for addresses printed in hexadecimal in 'perf
probe'.

- Suppress massive unsupported target platform errors in the unwind
code.

- Fix return incorrect build_id size in elf_read_build_id().

- Fix 'perf scripts intel-pt-events.py' IPC output for Python 2 .

- Add missing new parameter in kfree_skb tracepoint to the python
scripts using it.

- Add 'perf bench syscall fork' benchmark.

- Add support for printing PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_UNC (Uncached access) in
'perf mem'.

- Fix wrong size expectation for perf test 'Setup struct
perf_event_attr' caused by the patch adding
perf_event_attr::config3.

- Fix some spelling mistakes"
