perf test: Skip syscall enum test if no landlock syscall

The perf trace enum augmentation test specifically targets landlock_
add_rule syscall but IIUC it's an optional and can be opt-out by a
kernel config.

Currently trace_landlock() runs `perf test -w landlock` before the
actual testing to check the availability but it's not enough since the
workload always returns 0. Instead it could check if perf trace output
has 'landlock' string.

perf test record+probe_libc_inet_pton: Make test resilient

The test failed back and forth due to the call chain being heavily
impacted by the libc, which varies across different architectures and
distros.

The libc contains the symbols for "gaih_inet" and "getaddrinfo" in some
cases, but not always. Moreover, these symbols can be either normal
symbols or dynamic symbols, making it difficult to decide the call chain
entries due to the symbols are inconsistent.

To fix the issue, this commit identifies three call chain entries are
always present. These entries are matched by iterating through the
lines in the "perf script" result. The recording attribute max-stack is
set to 4 for the possible maximum call chain depth.

perf tests base_probe: Fix check for the count of existing probes in test_adding_kernel

perftool-testsuite_probe fails in test_adding_kernel as below:

Regexp not found: "probe:inode_permission_11"
-- [ FAIL ] -- perf_probe :: test_adding_kernel :: force-adding probes ::
second probe adding (with force) (output regexp parsing)
event syntax error: 'probe:inode_permission_11'
\___ unknown tracepoint

Error: File /sys/kernel/tracing//events/probe/inode_permission_11
not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to
enable this feature?.

The test does the following:

1) Adds a probe point first using:

$CMD_PERF probe --add $TEST_PROBE

2) Then tries to add same probe again without —force and expects it to
fail. Next tries to add same probe again with —force. In this case,
perf probe succeeds and adds the probe with a suffix number. Example:

./perf probe --add inode_permission
Added new event:
probe:inode_permission (on inode_permission)

./perf probe --add inode_permission --force
Added new event:
probe:inode_permission_1 (on inode_permission)

./perf probe --add inode_permission --force
Added new event:
probe:inode_permission_2 (on inode_permission)

Each time, suffix is added to existing probe name.

To get the suffix number, test cases uses:

NO_OF_PROBES=`$CMD_PERF probe -l | wc -l`

This will work if there is no other probe existing in the system. If
there are any other probes other than kernel probes or inode_permission,
( example: any probe), "perf probe -l" will include count for other
probes too.

Example, in the system where this failed, already some probes were
default added. So count became 10

./perf probe -l | wc -l
10

So to be specific for "inode_permission", restrict the probe count check
to that probe point alone using:

NO_OF_PROBES=`$CMD_PERF probe -l $TEST_PROBE| wc -l`

Similarly while removing the probe using "probe --del *", (removing all
probes), check uses:

../common/check_all_lines_matched.pl "Removed event: probe:$TEST_PROBE"

But if there are other probes in the system, the log will contain
reference to other existing probe too. Hence change usage of
check_all_lines_matched.pl to check_all_patterns_found.pl This will make
sure expecting string comes in the result

perf test brstack: Speed up running test by using tr -s instead of xargs

The brstack test runs quite slowly in software models. Part of the reason
is "xargs -n1" is quite inefficient in replacing spaces with newlines.

While that's not noticeable on normal machines, it is on software models.

Use "tr -s ' ' '\n'" instead which can do the same transformation, but is
much faster. For comparison on an M1 Macbook Pro:

$ time seq -s ' ' 10000 | xargs -n1 > /dev/null

real 0m2.729s
user 0m2.009s
sys 0m0.914s
$ time seq -s ' ' 10000 | tr -s ' ' '\n' | grep '.' > /dev/null

real 0m0.002s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.001s

The "grep '.'" is also needed to remove any remaining blank lines.

perf test: Update ftrace test to use --graph-opts

I found it failed on machines with limited memory because 16M byte
per-cpu buffer is too big. The reason it added the option is not to
miss tracing data. Thus we can limit the data size by reducing the
function call depth instead of increasing the buffer size to handle the
whole data.

As it used the same option in the test_ftrace_trace() and it was able
to find the sleep function, it should work with the profile subcommand.

Get rid of other grep commands which might be affected by the depth
change.

perf stat: Fix trailing comma when there is no metric unit

Now that printing metric-value and metric-unit is optional,
print_running_json() shouldn't add the comma in case it becomes
trailing.

Replace all manual JSON comma stuff with a json_out() function that uses
the existing os->first tracking and auto inserts a comma if it's needed.

perf tools tests shell base_probe: Enhance print_overall_results to print summary information

Currently print_overall_results prints the number of fails in the

perf tools tests shell base_probe: Enhance print_overall_results to print summary information

Currently print_overall_results prints the number of fails in the
summary, example from base_probe tests in testsuite_probe:

## [ FAIL ] ## perf_probe :: test_invalid_options SUMMARY ::
11 failures found

test_invalid_options contains multiple tests and out of that 11 failed.
Sometimes it could happen that it is due to missing dependency in the
build or environment dependency.

Example, perf probe -L requires DWARF enabled. otherwise
it fails as below:

./perf probe -L
Error: switch `L' is not available because NO_DWARF=1

"-L" is tested as one of the option in:

for opt in '-a' '-d' '-L' '-V'; do
<<perf probe test>>
print_results $PERF_EXIT_CODE $CHECK_EXIT_CODE "missing argument
for $opt"

Here -a and -d doesn't require DWARF. Similarly there are few other
tests requiring DWARF.

To hint the user that missing DWARF could be one issue, update
print_overall_results to print a comment string along with summary
hinting the possible cause. Update test_invalid_options.sh and
test_line_semantics.sh to pass the info about DWARF requirement since
these tests failed when perf is built without DWARF.

Use the check for presence of DWARF with "perf check feature" and append
the hint message based on the result.

With the change:

## [ FAIL ] ## perf_probe :: test_invalid_options SUMMARY ::
11 failures found :: Some of the tests need DWARF to run

perf test: Parse 'perf stat' Topdown events for aarch64

The 'perf stat' output on aarch64 machines with topdown events wasn't
counted for in the 'perf stat STD output linter' test case. Add the
topdown metric to the skip_metric list as it is done for topdown events
on other systems.

The Topdown events are also disabled on aarch64 KVM guests because the
value of caps/slots is set to 0 due to the part of the system register
being a stub.

This prevents the metric for the topdown events from being computed,
leaving the 'perf stat' topdown metric without any value at all.

Add the "TopdownL1" to the skip_metric list as well to handle this
possibility.

Before aarch64:

100: perf stat STD output linter:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 403305
Checking STD output: no args Unknown event name in TopdownL1 # 4.3 percent of slots slots_lost_misspeculation_fraction
---- end(-1) ----
100: perf stat STD output linter : FAILED!

Before aarch64 KVM:

100: perf stat STD output linter:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 404671
Checking STD output: no args Unknown event name in TopdownL1
---- end(-1) ----
100: perf stat STD output linter : FAILED!

After:

100: perf stat STD output linter:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 404777
Checking STD output: no args [Success]
Checking STD output: system wide [Success]
Checking STD output: interval [Success]
Checking STD output: per thread [Success]
