Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Use BPF + BTF to collect and pretty print syscall and tracepoint
arguments in 'perf trace', done as an GSoC activity

- Data-type profiling improvements:

- Cache debuginfo to speed up data type resolution

- Add the 'typecln' sort order, to show which cacheline in a target
is hot or cold. The following shows members in the cfs_rq's first
cache line:

$ perf report -s type,typecln,typeoff -H
...
- 2.67% struct cfs_rq
+ 1.23% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 2
+ 0.57% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 4
+ 0.46% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 6
- 0.41% struct cfs_rq: cache-line 0
0.39% struct cfs_rq +0x14 (h_nr_running)
0.02% struct cfs_rq +0x38 (tasks_timeline.rb_leftmost)

- When a typedef resolves to a unnamed struct, use the typedef name

- When a struct has just one basic type field (int, etc), resolve
the type sort order to the name of the struct, not the type of
the field

- Support type folding/unfolding in the data-type annotation TUI

- Fix bitfields offsets and sizes

- Initial support for PowerPC, using libcapstone and the usual
objdump disassembly parsing routines

- Add support for disassembling and addr2line using the LLVM libraries,
speeding up those operations

- Support --addr2line option in 'perf script' as with other tools

- Intel branch counters (LBR event logging) support, only available in
recent Intel processors, for instance, the new "brcntr" field can be
asked from 'perf script' to print the information collected from this
feature:

$ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr

# Branch counter abbr list:
# branch-instructions:ppp = A
# branch-misses = B

- Support Timed PEBS (Precise Event-Based Sampling), a recent hardware
feature in Intel processors

- Add 'perf ftrace profile' subcommand, using ftrace's function-graph
tracer so that users can see the total, average, max execution time
as well as the number of invocations easily, for instance:

$ sudo perf ftrace profile -G __x64_sys_perf_event_open -- \
perf stat -e cycles -C1 true 2> /dev/null | head

priority showing/filtering command line options

- Varios improvements to the 'perf probe', including 'perf test'
regression testings

in place, using it in 'perf test'

- Various fixes for 32-bit systems

- Address more leak sanitizer failures

- Fix memory leaks (LBR, disasm lock ops, etc)

- Constify 'struct perf_tool' parameters to improve code generation
and reduce the chances of having its internals changed, which isn't
expected

- More constifications in various other places

- Add more build tests, including for JEVENTS

- Add more 'perf test' entries ('perf record LBR', pipe/inject,
--setup-filter, 'perf ftrace', 'cgroup sampling', etc)

- Inject build ids for all entries in a call chain in 'perf inject',
not just for the main sample

- Improve the BPF based sample filter, allowing root to setup filters
in bpffs that then can be used by non-root users

- Allow filtering by cgroups with the BPF based sample filter

- Allow a more compact way for 'perf mem report' using the
-T/--type-profile and also provide a --sort option similar to the one
in 'perf report', 'perf top', to setup the sort order manually

- Fix --group behavior in 'perf annotate' when leader has no samples,
where it was not showing anything even when other events in the group
had samples

- Fix spinlock and rwlock accounting in 'perf lock contention'

- Fix libsubcmd fixdep Makefile dependencies

perf annotate: Save branch counters for each block

When annotating a basic block, it's useful to display the occurrences
of other events in the block.

The branch counter feature is only available for newer Intel platforms.

So a dedicated option to display the branch counters is not introduced.

Reuse the existing --total-cycles option, which triggers the annotation
of a basic block and displays the cycle-related annotation.

When the branch counters information is available, the branch counters
are automatically appended after all the cycle-related annotation.

Accounting the branch counters as well when accounting the cycles in
hist__account_cycles().

In 'struct annotated_branch', introduce a br_cntr array to save the
accumulation of each branch counter.

In a sample, all the branch counters for a branch are saved in a u64
space.

Because the saturation of a branch counter is small, e.g., for Intel
Sierra Forest, the saturation is only 3.

Add ANNOTATION__BR_CNTR_SATURATED_FLAG to indicate if a branch counter
once saturated. That can be used to indicate a potential event lost
because of the saturation.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.7-1-2023-11-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Build:

- Compile BPF programs by default if clang (>= 12.0.1) is available
to enable more features like kernel lock contention, off-cpu
profiling, kwork, sample filtering and so on.

This can be disabled by passing BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 to make.

- Produce better error messages for bison on debug build (make
DEBUG=1) by defining YYDEBUG symbol internally.

perf record:

- Track sideband events (like FORK/MMAP) from all CPUs even if perf
record targets a subset of CPUs only (using -C option). Otherwise
it may lose some information happened on a CPU out of the target
list.

- Fix checking raw sched_switch tracepoint argument using system BTF.
This affects off-cpu profiling which attaches a BPF program to the
raw tracepoint.

perf lock contention:

- Add --lock-cgroup option to see contention by cgroups. This should
be used with BPF only (using -b option).

$ sudo perf lock con -ab --lock-cgroup -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait cgroup

835 14.06 ms 41.19 us 16.83 us /system.slice/led.service
25 122.38 us 13.77 us 4.89 us /
44 23.73 us 3.87 us 539 ns /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope
1 491 ns 491 ns 491 ns /system.slice/connectd.service

- Add -G/--cgroup-filter option to see contention only for given
cgroups.

This can be useful when you identified a cgroup in the above
command and want to investigate more on it. It also works with
other output options like -t/--threads and -l/--lock-addr.

$ sudo perf lock con -ab -G /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

8 77.11 us 17.98 us 9.64 us spinlock futex_wake+0xc8
2 24.56 us 14.66 us 12.28 us spinlock tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
1 4.97 us 4.97 us 4.97 us spinlock futex_q_lock+0x2a

- Use per-cpu array for better spinlock tracking. This is to improve
performance of the BPF program and to avoid nested contention on a
lock in the BPF hash map.

- Update callstack check for PowerPC. To find a representative caller
of a lock, it needs to look up the call stacks. It ends the lookup
when it sees 0 in the call stack buffer. However, PowerPC call
stacks can have 0 values in the beginning so skip them when it
expects valid call stacks after.

perf kwork:

- Support 'sched' class (for -k option) so that it can see task
scheduling event (using sched_switch tracepoint) as well as irq and
workqueue items.

- Add perf kwork top subcommand to show more accurate cpu utilization
with sched class above. It works both with a recorded data (using
perf kwork record command) and BPF (using -b option). Unlike perf
top command, it does not support interactive mode (yet).

$ sudo perf kwork top -b -k sched

perf bench:

- Add -G/--cgroups option to perf bench sched pipe. The pipe bench is
good to measure context switch overhead. With this option, it puts
the reader and writer tasks in separate cgroups to enforce context
switch between two different cgroups.

Also it needs to set CPU affinity of the tasks in a CPU to
accurately measure the impact of cgroup context switches.

$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 0.307 [sec]

3.078180 usecs/op
324867 ops/sec

Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000':

200,026 context-switches
63 cgroup-switches

0.321637922 seconds time elapsed

You can see small number of cgroup-switches because both write and
read tasks are in the same cgroup.

$ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/{AAA,BBB}

$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 0.351 [sec]

3.512990 usecs/op
284657 ops/sec

Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB':

200,020 context-switches
200,019 cgroup-switches

0.365034567 seconds time elapsed

Now context-switches and cgroup-switches are almost same. And you
can see the pipe operation took little more.

- Kill child processes when perf bench sched messaging exited
abnormally. Otherwise it'd leave the child doing unnecessary work.

perf test:

- Fix various shellcheck issues on the tests written in shell script.

- Skip tests when condition is not satisfied:
- object code reading test for non-text section addresses.
- CoreSight test if cs_etm// event is not available.
- lock contention test if not enough CPUs.

Event parsing:

- Make PMU alias name loading lazy to reduce the startup time in the
event parsing code for perf record, stat and others in the general
case.

- Lazily compute PMU default config. In the same sense, delay PMU
initialization until it's really needed to reduce the startup cost.

- Fix event term values that are raw events. The event specification
can have several terms including event name. But sometimes it
clashes with raw event encoding which starts with 'r' and has
hex-digits.

For example, an event named 'read' should be processed as a normal
event but it was mis-treated as a raw encoding and caused a
failure.

$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

Event metrics:

- Add "Compat" regex to match event with multiple identifiers.

- Usual updates for Intel, Power10, Arm telemetry/CMN and AmpereOne.

Misc:

- Assorted memory leak fixes and footprint reduction.

- Add "bpf_skeletons" to perf version --build-options so that users
can check whether their perf tools have BPF support easily.

- Fix unaligned access in Intel-PT packet decoder found by
undefined-behavior sanitizer.

- Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event. Surprisingly it'd impact
kernel timer tick handler performance by force iterating all PMU
events.

- Update bash shell completion for events and metrics"

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]

4.766540 usecs/op
209795 ops/sec
contended total wait max wait avg wait pid owner

403 565.32 us 26.81 us 1.40 us -1 Unknown

1 8.25 us 8.25 us 8.25 us 1583144 sched-pipe
1 2.03 us 2.03 us 2.03 us 5068 chrome

The owner is unknown in most cases. Filtering only for the
mutex locks, it will more likely get the owners.

- -S/--callstack-filter is to limit display entries having the given
string in the callstack:

$ sudo ./perf lock contention -abv -S net sleep 1
...

0xffffffffa5c6467d tcp_keepalive_timer+0x2fd

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/...
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"

Merge branch 'next' into for-linus

perf script: Show branch speculation info

Show the branch speculation info if provided by the branch recording
hardware feature. This can be useful for optimizing code further.

The speculation info

perf script: Show branch speculation info

Show the branch speculation info if provided by the branch recording
hardware feature. This can be useful for optimizing code further.

The speculation info is appended to the end of the list of fields so any
existing tools that use "/" as a delimiter for access fields via an index
remain unaffected. Also show "-" instead of "N/A" when speculation info
is unavailable because "/" is used as the field separator.

E.g.

$ perf record -j any,u,save_type ./test_branch
$ perf script --fields brstacksym

Before:

[...]
check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL
do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL
[...]

After:

[...]
check_match+0x60/strcmp+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH
do_lookup_x+0x3c5/check_match+0x0/P/-/-/0/CALL/NON_SPEC_CORRECT_PATH
[...]

The bitfield swapping scheme used duing sample parsing has changed
because of the addition of new branch flags, namely "spec", "new_type"
and "priv". Earlier, these were all part of the "reserved" field but
now, each of these fields get swapped separately. Change the expected
flag values accordingly for the test to pass.

E.g.

$ perf test -v 27

Before:

27: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 61979
parsing failed for sample_type 0x800
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!

After:

27: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 63293
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Sample parsing: Ok
