Merge tag 'kvmarm-fixes-6.12-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD

KVM/arm64 fixes for 6.12, take #1

- Fix pKVM error path on init, making sure we do not change critical
system registers as we're about to fail

- Make sure that the host's vector length is at capped by a value
common to all CPUs

- Fix kvm_has_feat*() handling of "negative" features, as the current
code is pretty broken

- Promote Joey to the status of official reviewer, while James steps
down -- hopefully only temporarly

ASoC: Fixes for v6.12

A bunch of fixes here that came in during the merge window and the first
week of release, plus some new quirks and device IDs. There's nothing
major here, it's a bit bigger than it might've been due to there being
no fixes sent during the merge window due to your vacation.

Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v6.12-1-2024-09-19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools

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
# '-' No event occurs
# '+' Event occurrences may be lost due to branch counter saturated

- 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
# Total (us) Avg (us) Max (us) Count Function

14.012 7.006 11.264 2 obj_cgroup_charge

- 'perf sched timehist' improvements, including the addition of
priority showing/filtering command line options

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

- Introduce the 'perf check', initially to check if some feature is
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)

- More reference counting fixes (branch_info, 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

- Improve 'perf ftrace' error message when ftrace isn't available

- Update various Intel JSON vendor event files

- ARM64 CoreSight hardware tracing infrastructure improvements, mostly
not visible to users

- Update power10 JSON events

perf annotate: Update parameters for reg extract functions to use raw instruction on powerpc

Use the raw instruction code and macros to identify memory instructions,
extract register fields and also offset.

The implementation addresses the D-form, X-form, DS-form instructions.

Adds "mem_ref" field to check whether source/target has memory
reference.

Add function "get_powerpc_regs" which will set these fields: reg1, reg2,
offset depending of where it is source or target ops.

Update "parse" callback for "struct ins_ops" to also pass "struct
disasm_line" as argument. This is needed in parse functions where opcode
is used to determine whether to set multi_regs and other fields

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:

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 dwarf-regs: Add get_dwarf_regnum()

The get_dwarf_regnum() returns a DWARF register number from a register
name string according to the psABI. Also add two pseudo encodings of
DWARF_REG_PC which is a register that are used by PC-relative addressing
and DWARF_REG_FB which is a frame base register. They need to be
handled in a special way.
