perf build: fix "argument list too long" in second location

Turns out that displaying "RM $^" via quiet_cmd_rm can also upset the
shell and cause it to display "argument list too long".

Trying to quote $^ doesn't help.

In the end, *not* displaying the (potentially long) list of files is
probably the right thing to do for a "quiet" message, anyway. Instead,
let's display a count of how many files were removed. There is always
V=1 if more detail is required.

TEST linux/tools/perf/pmu-events/metric_test.log
RM ...634 orphan file(s)...
LD linux/tools/perf/util/perf-util-in.o

Also move the comment regarding xargs before the rule, so it doesn't
show up in the build output.

perf build: Prevent "argument list too long" error

Due to a recent change, building perf may result in a build error when
it is trying to "prune orphans".

The file list passed to "rm" may exceed what the shell can handle.

The build will then abort with an error like this:

TEST [...]/arm64/build/linux-custom/tools/perf/pmu-events/metric_test.log
make[5]: /bin/sh: Argument list too long
make[5]: *** [pmu-events/Build:217: prune_orphans] Error 127

make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[3]: *** [Makefile.perf:289: sub-make] Error 2

Processing the arguments via "xargs", instead of passing the list of
files directly to "rm" via the shell, prevents this issue.

perf build: Reduce pmu-events related copying and mkdirs

When building to an output directory the previous code would remove
files and then copy the source files over.

Each source file copy would have a rule to make its directory. All JSON
for every architecture was considered a source file.

This led to unnecessary copying as a file would be deleted and then the
same file copied again, unnecessary directory making, and copying of
files not used in the build.

A side-effect would be a lot of build messages.

This change makes it so that all computed output files are created and
then compared to all files in the OUTPUT directory.

By filtering out the files that would be copied, unnecessary files can
be determined and then deleted - note, this is a phony target which
would remake the pmu-events.c if always depended upon, and so the
dependency is conditional on there being files to remove.

This has some overhead as the $(OUTPUT)/pmu-events is "find" over rather
than just "rm -fr", but the savings from unnecessary copying, etc.
should make up for this new make overhead.

The copy target just does copying but has a dependency on the directory
it needs being built, avoiding repetitive mkdirs.

The source files for copying only consider the JEVENTS_ARCH unless the
JEVENTS_ARCH is all.

The metric JSON is only generated if appropriate, rather than always
being generated and jevents.py deciding whether or not to use the files.

The mypy and pylint targets are fixed as variable names had changed but
the rules not updated.

The line count of a build with "make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf clean all"
prior to this change was 2181 lines, after this change it is 1596
lines.

This is a reduction of 585 lines or about 27%.

The generated pmu-events.c for JEVENTS_ARCH "x86" and "all" were
validated as being identical after this change.

perf jevents: Add load event JSON to verify and allow fallbacks

Add a LoadEvents function that loads all event JSON files in a
directory.

In the Event constructor ensure all events are defined in the event JSON
except for legacy events like "cycles".

If the initial event isn't found then legacy_event1 is used, and if that
isn't found legacy_event2 is used.

This allows a single Event to have multiple event names as models will
often rename the same event over time. If the event doesn't exist an
exception is raised.

So that references to metrics can be added, add the MetricRef
class. This doesn't validate as an event name and so provides an
escape hatch for metrics to refer to each other.

If a build takes place in tools/perf/ then extra-metrics.json and
extra-metricgroups.json are generated in that directory and so added
to .gitignore.

If there is an OUTPUT directory then the tools/perf/pmu-events/arch
files are copied to it so the generated extra-metrics.json and

perf jevents: Handle deleted JSONS in out of source builds

Make the source folders a dependency for the generated folder root so
that whenever a file is deleted from the source it will force a new
fresh copy of all the JSON files and avoid stale deleted files.

JSON_DIRS_OUTPUT_ROOT needs to be a dependency of LEGACY_CACHE_JSON so
that the root folder doesn't get cleaned after the legacy JSON is
generated. But this is a no-op with in-source builds as
JSON_DIRS_OUTPUT_ROOT is unset.

JSON_DIRS is added as a dependency of PMU_EVENTS_C which also forces a
re-build for in source builds when JSON files are deleted. This could
have also resulted in stale builds, but never a broken one.

perf jevents: Fix build when there are other json files in the tree

The unquoted glob *.json will expand to a real file if, for example,
there is any file in the Perf source ending in .json. This can happen
when using tools like Bear and clangd which generate a
compile_commands.json file. With the glob already expanded by the shell,
the find command will fail to wildcard any real json events files.

Fix it by wrapping the star in quotes so it's passed to find rather than
the shell.

This fixes the following build error (most of the diff output omitted):

th

perf jevents: Add legacy-hardware and legacy-cache json

The legacy-hardware.json is added containing hardware events similarly
to the software.json file. A difference is that for the software PMU
the name is known and matches sysfs. In the legacy-hardware.json no
Unit/PMU is specified for the events meaning default_core is used and
the events will appear for all core PMUs.

There are potentially 1216 legacy cache events, rather than list them
in a json file add a make_legacy_cache.py helper to generate them.

By using json for legacy hardware and cache events: descriptions of
the events can be added; events can be marked as deprecated, such as
those misleadingly named l2 (deprecated is also used to mark all
events that weren't previously displayed in perf list); and the name
lookup becomes case insensitive.

The C string encoding all the perf events and metrics is increased in
size by 123,499 bytes which will increase the perf binary size. Later
changes will remove hard coded event parsing for legacy hardware and
cache events, turning parsing overhead into a binary search during
event lookup.

That event descriptions are based off of those in perf_event_open man
page, credit to Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu>.

The jevents command expects all json files to be organized under a
single directory. When generating json files from scripts (to reduce
laborious copy and paste in the json) we don't want to generate the
json into the source directory if there is an OUTPUT directory
specified. This change adds a GEN_JSON for this case where the
GEN_JSON copies the JSON files to OUTPUT, only when OUTPUT is
specified. The Makefile.perf clean code is updated to clean up this
directory when present.

This patch is part of:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240926173554.404411-12-irogers@google.com/
which was similarly adding support for generating json in scripts for
the consumption of jevents.py.

perf jevents: Autogenerate empty-pmu-events.c

empty-pmu-events.c exists so that builds may occur without python
being installed on a system. Manually updating empty-pmu-events.c to
be in sync with jevents.py is a pain, let's use jevents.py to generate
empty-pmu-events.c.

1) change jevents.py so that an arch and model of none cause
generation of a pmu-events.c without any json. Add a SPDX and
autogenerated warning to the start of the file.

2) change Build so that if a generated pmu-events.c for arch none and
model none doesn't match empty-pmu-events.c the build fails with a
cat of the differences. Update Makefile.perf to clean up the files
used for this.

3) update empty-pmu-events.c to match the output of jevents.py with
arch and mode of none.

Committer notes:

The firtst paragraph is confusing, so I asked and Ian further clarified:

---
The requirement for python hasn't changed.

Case 1: no python or NO_JEVENTS=1
Build happens using empty-pmu-events.c that is checked in, no python
is required.

Case 2: python
pmu-events.c is created by jevents.py (requiring python) and then built.
This change adds a step where the empty-pmu-events.c is created using
jevents.py and that file is diffed against the checked in version.

This stops the checked in empty-pmu-events.c diverging if changes are
made to jevents.py. If the diff causes the build to fail then you just
copy the diff empty-pmu-events.c over the checked in one.

perf build: Update build rule for generated files

The bison and flex generate C files from the source (.y and .l)
files. When O= option is used, they are saved in a separate directory
but the default build rule assumes the .C files are in the source
directory. So it might read invalid file if there are generated files
from an old version. The same is true for the pmu-events files.

For example, the following command would cause a build failure:

$ git checkout v6.3
$ make -C tools/perf # build in the same directory

$ git checkout v6.5-rc2
$ mkdir build # create a build directory
$ make -C tools/perf O=build # build in a different directory but it
# refers files in the source directory

Let's update the build rule to specify those cases explicitly to depend
on the files in the output directory.

Note that it's not a complete fix and it needs the next patch for the
include path too.

perf jevents: Run metric_test.py at compile-time

Add a target that generates a log file for running metric_test.py and
make this a dependency on generating pmu-events.c. The log output is
displayed if the test fails like (the test was modified to make it
fail):

```
TEST /tmp/perf/pmu-events/metric_test.log
F......
======================================================================
FAIL: test_Brackets (__main__.TestMetricExpressions)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tools/perf/pmu-events/metric_test.py", line 33, in test_Brackets
self.assertEqual((a * b + c).ToPerfJson(), 'a * b + d')
AssertionError: 'a * b + c' != 'a * b + d'

Ran 7 tests in 0.004s

FAILED (failures=1)
make[3]: *** [pmu-events/Build:32: /tmp/perf/pmu-events/metric_test.log] Error 1
```

However, normal execution will just show the TEST line.

This is roughly modeled on fortify testing in the kernel lib directory.

Modify metric_test.py so that it is executable. This is necessary when
PYTHON isn't specified in the build, the normal case.

Use variables to make the paths to files clearer and more consistent.

Committer notes:

Add pmu-events/metric_test.log to tools/perf/.gitignore and to the
'clean' target on tools/perf/Makefile.perf.

perf jevents: Parse metrics during conversion

Currently the 'MetricExpr' json value is passed from the json
file to the pmu-events.c. This change introduces an expression
tree that is parsed into. The parsing is done largely by using
operator overloading and python's 'eval' function. Two advantages
in doing this are:

1) Broken metrics fail at compile time rather than relying on
`perf test` to detect. `perf test` remains relevant for checking
event encoding and actual metric use.

2) The conversion to a string from the tree can minimize the metric's
string size, for example, preferring 1e6 over 1000000, avoiding
multiplication by 1 and removing unnecessary whitespace. On x86
this reduces the string size by 2,930bytes (0.07%).

In future changes it would be possible to programmatically
generate the json expressions (a single line of text and so a
pain to write manually) for an architecture using the expression
tree. This could avoid copy-pasting metrics for all architecture
variants.

v4. Doesn't simplify "0*SLOTS" to 0, as the pattern is used to fix
Intel metrics with topdown events.
v3. Avoids generic types on standard types like set that aren't
supported until Python 3.9, fixing an issue with Python 3.6
reported-by John Garry. v3 also fixes minor pylint issues and adds
a call to Simplify on the read expression tree.
v2. Improvements to type information.

Committer notes:

Added one-line fixer from Ian, see first Link: tag below.
