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

15.686 15.686 15.686 1 perf_event_alloc
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

Revert "perf parse-events: Prefer sysfs/JSON hardware events over legacy"

This reverts commit 617824a7f0f73e4de325cf8add58e55b28c12493.

This made a simple 'perf record -e cycles:pp make -j199' stop working on
the Ampere ARM64 system Linus uses to test ARM64 kernels, as discussed
at length in the threads in the Link tags below.

The fix provided by Ian wasn't acceptable and work to fix this will take
time we don't have at this point, so lets revert this and work on it on
the next devel cycle.

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

- Integrate the shellcheck utility with the build of perf to allow
catching shell problems early in areas such as 'perf test', 'perf
trace' scrape scripts, etc

- Add 'uretprobe' variant in the 'perf bench uprobe' tool

- Add script to run instances of 'perf script' in parallel

- Allow parsing tracepoint names that start with digits, such as
9p/9p_client_req, etc. Make sure 'perf test' tests it even on
systems where those tracepoints aren't available

- Add Kan Liang to MAINTAINERS as a perf tools reviewer

- Add support for using the 'capstone' disassembler library in
various tools, such as 'perf script' and 'perf annotate'. This is
an alternative for the use of the 'xed' and 'objdump' disassemblers

Data-type profiling improvements:

- Resolve types for a->b->c by backtracking the assignments until it
finds DWARF info for one of those members

- Support for global variables, keeping a cache to speed up lookups

- Handle the 'call' instruction, dealing with effects on registers
and handling its return when tracking register data types

- Handle x86's segment based addressing like %gs:0x28, to support
things like per CPU variables, the stack canary, etc

- Data-type profiling got big speedups when using capstone for
disassembling. The objdump outoput parsing method is left as a
fallback when capstone fails or isn't available. There are patches
posted for 6.11 that to use a LLVM disassembler

- Support event group display in the TUI when annotating types with
--data-type, for instance to show memory load and store events for
the data type fields

- Optimize the 'perf annotate' data structures, reducing memory usage

- Add a initial 'perf test' for 'perf annotate', checking that a
target symbol appears on the output, specifying objdump via the
command line, etc

Vendor Events:

- Update Intel JSON files for Cascade Lake X, Emerald Rapids, Grand
Ridge, Ice Lake X, Lunar Lake, Meteor Lake, Sapphire Rapids, Sierra
Forest, Sky Lake X, Sky Lake and Snow Ridge X. Remove info metrics
erroneously in TopdownL1

- Add AMD's Zen 5 core and uncore events and metrics. Those come from
the "Performance Monitor Counters for AMD Family 1Ah Model 00h- 0Fh
Processors" document, with events that capture information on op
dispatch, execution and retirement, branch prediction, L1 and L2
cache activity, TLB activity, etc

- Mark L1D_CACHE_INVAL impacted by errata for ARM64's AmpereOne/
AmpereOneX

Miscellaneous:

- Sync header copies with the kernel sources

- Move some header copies used only for generating translation string
tables for ioctl cmds and other syscall integer arguments to a new
directory under tools/perf/beauty/, to separate from copies in
tools/include/ that are used to build the tools

- Introduce scrape script for several syscall 'flags'/'mask'
arguments

- Improve cpumap utilization, fixing up pairing of refcounts, using
the right iterators (perf_cpu_map__for_each_cpu), etc

- Give more details about raw event encodings in 'perf list', show
tracepoint encoding in the detailed output

- Refactor the DSOs handling code, reducing memory usage

- Document the BPF event modifier and add a 'perf test' for it

- Improve the event parser, better error messages and add further
'perf test's for it

- Add reference count checking to 'struct comm_str' and 'struct
mem_info'

- Make ARM64's 'perf test' entries for the Neoverse N1 more robust

- Tweak the ARM64's Coresight 'perf test's

- Improve ARM64's CoreSight ETM version detection and error reporting

- Fix handling of symbols when using kcore

- Fix PAI (Processor Activity Instrumentation) counter names for s390
virtual machines in 'perf report'

- Fix -g/--call-graph option failure in 'perf sched timehist'

- Add LIBTRACEEVENT_DIR build option to allow building with
libtraceevent installed in non-standard directories, such as when
doing cross builds

- Various 'perf test' and 'perf bench' fixes

- Improve 'perf probe' error message for long C++ probe names"

perf parse-events: Prefer sysfs/JSON hardware events over legacy

It was requested that RISC-V be able to add events to the perf tool so
the PMU driver didn't need to map legacy events to config encodings:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240217005738.3744121-1-atishp@rivosinc.com/

This change makes the priority of events specified without a PMU the
same as those specified with a PMU, namely sysfs and JSON events are
checked first before using the legacy encoding.

The hw_term is made more generic as a hardware_event that encodes a
pair of string and int value, allowing parse_events_multi_pmu_add to
fall back on a known encoding when the sysfs/JSON adding fails for
core events. As this covers PE_VALUE_SYM_HW, that token is removed and
related code simplified.
