Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.8-1-2024-01-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

"Add Namhyung Kim as tools/perf/ co-maintainer, we're taking turns
processing patches, switching roles from perf-tools to perf-tools-next
at each Linux release.

Data profiling:

- Associate samples that identify loads and stores with data
structures. This uses events available on Intel, AMD and others and
DWARF info:

# To get memory access samples in kernel for 1 second (on Intel)
$ perf mem record -a -K --ldlat=4 -- sleep 1

# Similar for the AMD (but it requires 6.3+ kernel for BPF filters)
$ perf mem record -a --filter 'mem_op == load || mem_op == store, ip > 0x8000000000000000' -- sleep 1

Then, amongst several modes of post processing, one can do things like:

$ perf report -s type,typeoff --hierarchy --group --stdio
...

This uses the existing annotate code, calling objdump to do the
disassembly, with improvements to avoid having this take too long,
but longer term a switch to a disassembler library, possibly
reusing code in the kernel will be pursued.

This is the initial implementation, please use it and report
impressions and bugs. Make sure the kernel-debuginfo packages match
the running kernel. The 'perf report' phase for non short perf.data
files may take a while.

There is a great article about it on LWN:

<SNIP>

perf top/report:

- Don't ignore job control, allowing control+Z + bg to work.

- Add s390 raw data interpretation for PAI (Processor Activity
Instrumentation) counters.

perf archive:

- Add new option '--all' to pack perf.data with DSOs.

- Add new option '--unpack' to expand tarballs.

Initialization speedups:

- Lazily initialize zstd streams to save memory when not using it.

- Lazily allocate/size mmap event copy.

- Lazy load kernel symbols in 'perf record'.

- Be lazier in allocating lost samples buffer in 'perf record'.

- Don't synthesize BPF events when disabled via the command line
(perf record --no-bpf-event).

Assorted improvements:

- Show note on AMD systems that the :p, :pp, :ppp and :P are all the
same, as IBS (Instruction Based Sampling) is used and it is
inherentely precise, not having levels of precision like in Intel
systems.

- When 'cycles' isn't available, fall back to the "task-clock" event
when not system wide, not to 'cpu-clock'.

- Add --debug-file option to redirect debug output, e.g.:

$ perf --debug-file /tmp/perf.log record -v true

- Shrink 'struct map' to under one cacheline by avoiding function
pointers for selecting if addresses are identity or DSO relative,
and using just a byte for some boolean struct members.

- Resolve the arch specific strerrno just once to use in
perf_env__arch_strerrno().

- Reduce memory for recording PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES event.

Assorted fixes:

- Fix the default 'perf top' usage on Intel hybrid systems, now it
starts with a browser showing the number of samples for Efficiency
(cpu_atom/cycles/P) and Performance (cpu_core/cycles/P). This
behaviour is similar on ARM64, with its respective set of
big.LITTLE processors.

- Fix segfault on build_mem_topology() error path.

- Fix 'perf mem' error on hybrid related to availability of mem event
in a PMU.

- Fix missing reference count gets (map, maps) in the db-export code.

- Avoid recursively taking env->bpf_progs.lock in the 'perf_env'
code.

- Use the newly introduced maps__for_each_map() to add missing
locking around iteration of 'struct map' entries.

- Parse NOTE segments until the build id is found, don't stop on the
first one, ELF files may have several such NOTE segments.

- Remove 'egrep' usage, its deprecated, use 'grep -E' instead.

- Warn first about missing libelf, not libbpf, that depends on
libelf.

- Use alternative to 'find ... -printf' as this isn't supported in
busybox.

- Address python 3.6 DeprecationWarning for string scapes.

- Fix memory leak in uniq() in libsubcmd.

- Fix man page formatting for 'perf lock'

- Fix some spelling mistakes.

perf tests:

- Fail shell tests that needs some symbol in perf itself if it is
stripped. These tests check if a symbol is resolved, if some hot
function is indeed detected by profiling, etc.

- The 'perf test sigtrap' test is currently failing on PREEMPT_RT,
skip it if sleeping spinlocks are detected (using BTF) and point to
the mailing list discussion about it. This test is also being
skipped on several architectures (powerpc, s390x, arm and aarch64)
due to other pending issues with intruction breakpoints.

- Adjust test case perf record offcpu profiling tests for s390.

- Fix 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/VM guest,
addressing issues caused by the fallback from cycles to task-clock
done in this release.

- Fix mask for VG register in the user-regs test.

- Use shellcheck on 'perf test' shell scripts automatically to make
sure changes don't introduce things it flags as problematic.

- Add option to change objdump binary and allow it to be set via
'perf config'.

- Add basic 'perf script', 'perf list --json" and 'perf diff' tests.

- Basic branch counter support.

- Make DSO tests a suite rather than individual.

- Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures.

- Fix call chain match on powerpc for the record+probe_libc_inet_pton
test.

- Improve Intel hybrid tests.

Vendor event files (JSON):

powerpc:

- Update datasource event name to fix duplicate events on IBM's
Power10.

- Add PVN for HX-C2000 CPU with Power8 Architecture.

Intel:

- Alderlake/rocketlake metric fixes.

- Update emeraldrapids events to v1.02.

- Update icelakex events to v1.23.

- Update sapphirerapids events to v1.17.

- Add skx, clx, icx and spr upi bandwidth metric.

AMD:

- Add Zen 4 memory controller events.

RISC-V:

- Add StarFive Dubhe-80 and Dubhe-90 JSON files.
https://www.starfivetech.com/en/site/cpu-u

- Add T-HEAD C9xx JSON file.
https://github.com/riscv-software-src/opensbi/blob/master/docs/platform/thead-c9xx.md

ARM64:

- Remove UTF-8 characters from cmn.json, that were causing build
failure in some distros.

- Add core PMU events and metrics for Ampere One X.

- Rename Ampere One's BPU_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT to GPC_FLUSH_MEM_FAULT

libperf:

- Rename several perf_cpu_map constructor names to clarify what they
really do.

- Ditto for some other methods, coping with some issues in their
semantics, like perf_cpu_map__empty() ->
perf_cpu_map__has_any_cpu_or_is_empty().

- Document perf_cpu_map__nr()'s behavior

perf stat:

- Exit if parse groups fails.

- Combine the -A/--no-aggr and --no-merge options.

- Fix help message for --metric-no-threshold option.

Hardware tracing:

ARM64 CoreSight:

- Bump minimum OpenCSD version to ensure a bugfix is present.

- Add 'T' itrace option for timestamp trace

- Set start vm addr of exectable file to 0 and don't ignore first
sample on the arm-cs-trace-disasm.py 'perf script'"

perf test: Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures

The current use of atomics can lead to test failures, as tests (such as
tests/shell/record.sh) search for samples with "test_loop" as the
top-most stack frame, but find frames related to the atomic operation
(e.g. __aarch64_ldadd4_relax).

This change simply removes the "count" variable, as it is not necessary.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.3-1-2023-02-22' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux

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

- Add Ian Rogers to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer.

- Add support for retire latency feature (pipeline stall of a
instruction compared to the previous one, in cycles) present on
some Intel processors.

- Add 'perf c2c' report option to show false sharing with adjacent
cachelines, to be used in machines with cacheline prefetching,
where accesses to a cacheline brings the next one too.

- Skip 'perf test bpf' when the required kernel-debuginfo package
isn't installed.

- Avoid d3-flame-graph package dependency in 'perf script flamegraph',
making this feature more generally available.

- Add JSON metric events to present CPI stall cycles in Power10.

- Assorted improvements/refactorings on the JSON metrics parsing
code.

perf lock contention:

- Add -o/--lock-owner option:

$ sudo ./perf lock contention -abo -- ./perf bench sched pipe
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 4.766 [sec]

Please note that to have the -b option (BPF) working above one has
to build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1.

- Add more 'perf test' entries to test these new features.

perf script:

- Add 'cgroup' field for 'perf script' output:

$ perf record --all-cgroups -- true
$ perf script -F comm,pid,cgroup
true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...

true 337112 /user.slice/user-657345.slice/user@657345.service/...

- Add support for showing branch speculation information in 'perf
script' and in the 'perf report' raw dump (-D).

perf record:

- Fix 'perf record' segfault with --overwrite and --max-size.

perf test/bench:

- Switch basic BPF filtering test to use syscall tracepoint to avoid
the variable number of probes inserted when using the previous
probe point (do_epoll_wait) that happens on different CPU
architectures.

- Fix DWARF unwind test by adding non-inline to expected function in
a backtrace.

- Use 'grep -c' where the longer form 'grep | wc -l' was being used.

- Add getpid and execve benchmarks to 'perf bench syscall'.

Intel PT:

- Add support for synthesizing "cycle" events from Intel PT traces as
we support "instruction" events when Intel PT CYC packets are
available. This enables much more accurate profiles than when using
the regular 'perf record -e cycles' (the default) when the workload
lasts for very short periods (<10ms).

- .plt symbol handling improvements, better handling IBT (in the past
MPX) done in the context of decoding Intel PT processor traces,
IFUNC symbols on x86_64, static executables, understanding .plt.got
symbols on x86_64.

- Add a 'perf test' to test symbol resolution, part of the .plt
improvements series, this tests things like symbol size in contexts
where only the symbol start is available (kallsyms), etc.

- Better handle auxtrace/Intel PT data when using pipe mode (perf
record sleep 1|perf report).

- Fix symbol lookup with kcore with multiple segments match stext,
getting the symbol resolution to just show DSOs as unknown.

ARM:

- Timestamp improvements for ARM64 systems with ETMv4 (Embedded Trace
Macrocell v4).

- Ensure ARM64 CoreSight timestamps don't go backwards.

- Document that ARM64 SPE (Statistical Profiling Extension) is used
with 'perf c2c/mem'.

- Add raw decoding for ARM64 SPEv1.2 previous branch address.

- Update neoverse-n2-v2 ARM vendor events (JSON tables): topdown L1,
TLB, cache, branch, PE utilization and instruction mix metrics.

- Update decoder code for OpenCSD version 1.4, on ARM64 systems.

- Fix command line auto-complete of CPU events on aarch64.

Build:

- Fix 'perf probe' and 'perf test' when libtraceevent isn't linked,
as several tests use tracepoints, those should be skipped.

- More fallout fixes for the removal of tools/lib/traceevent/.

- Fix build error when linking with libpfm"
