perf tools changes and fixes for v6.5: 1st batch
Internal cleanup: - Refactor PMU data management to handle hybrid systems in a generic way. Do more work in the lexer so that legacy event types parse more easily. A side-effect of this is that if a PMU is specified, scanning sysfs is avoided improving start-up time. - Fix hybrid metrics, for example, the TopdownL1 works for both performance and efficiency cores on Intel machines. To support this, sort and regroup events after parsing. - Add reference count checking for the 'thread' data structure. - Lots of fixes for memory leaks in various places thanks to the ASAN and Ian's refcount checker. - Reduce the binary size by replacing static variables with local or dynamically allocated memory. - Introduce shared_mutex for annotate data to reduce memory footprint. - Make filesystem access library functions more thread safe. Test: - Organize cpu_map tests into a single suite. - Add metric value validation test to check if the values are within correct value ranges. - Add perf stat stdio output test to check if event and metric names match. - Add perf data converter JSON output test. - Fix a lot of issues reported by shellcheck(1). This is a preparation to enable shellcheck by default. - Make the large x86 new instructions test optional at build time using EXTRA_TESTS=1. - Add a test for libpfm4 events. perf script: - Add 'dsoff' outpuf field to display offset from the DSO. $ perf script -F comm,pid,event,ip,dsoff ls 2695501 cycles: 152cc73ef4b5 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so+0x1c4b5) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff99045b3e ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff9968e107 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffffc1f54afb ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff9968382f ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff99e00094 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ls 2695501 cycles: 152cc718a8d0 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1+0x68d0) ls 2695501 cycles: ffffffff992a6db0 ([kernel.kallsyms]) - Adjust width for large PID/TID values. perf report: - Robustify reading addr2line output for srcline by checking sentinel output before the actual data and by using timeout of 1 second. - Allow config terms (like 'name=ABC') with breakpoint events. $ perf record -e mem:0x55feb98dd169:x/name=breakpoint/ -p 19646 -- sleep 1 perf annotate: - Handle x86 instruction suffix like 'l' in 'movl' generally. - Parse instruction operands properly even with a whitespace. This is needed for llvm-objdump output. - Support RISC-V binutils lookup using the triplet prefixes. - Add '<' and '>' key to navigate to prev/next symbols in TUI. - Fix instruction association and parsing for LoongArch. perf stat: - Add --per-cache aggregation option, optionally specify a cache level like `--per-cache=L2`. $ sudo perf stat --per-cache -a -e ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote --\ taskset -c 0-15,64-79,128-143,192-207\ perf bench sched messaging -p -t -l 100000 -g 8 # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark: # 20 sender and receiver threads per group # 8 groups == 320 threads run Total time: 7.648 [sec] Performance counter stats for 'system wide': S0-D0-L3-ID0 16 17,145,912 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S0-D0-L3-ID8 16 14,977,628 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S0-D0-L3-ID16 16 262,539 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S0-D0-L3-ID24 16 3,140 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S0-D0-L3-ID32 16 27,403 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S0-D0-L3-ID40 16 17,026 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S0-D0-L3-ID48 16 7,292 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S0-D0-L3-ID56 16 2,464 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID64 16 22,489,306 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID72 16 21,455,257 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID80 16 11,619 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID88 16 30,978 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID96 16 37,628 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID104 16 13,594 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID112 16 10,164 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote S1-D1-L3-ID120 16 11,259 ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote 7.779171484 seconds time elapsed - Change default (no event/metric) formatting for default metrics so that events are hidden and the metric and group appear.

JSON vendor events: - Avoid event grouping using "NO_GROUP_EVENTS" constraints. The topdown events are correctly grouped even if no group exists. - Add "Default" metric group to print it in the default output. And use "DefaultMetricgroupName" to indicate the real metric group name. - Add AmpereOne core PMU events. Misc: - Define man page date correctly. - Track exception level properly on ARM CoreSight ETM. - Allow anonymous struct, union or enum when retrieving type names from DWARF. - Fix incorrect filename when calling `perf inject --jit`. - Handle PLT size correctly on LoongArch. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYIAB0WIQSo2x5BnqMqsoHtzsmMstVUGiXMgwUCZJxT3gAKCRCMstVUGiXM g3//AQDyH3tbAVxU6JkvEOjjDvK7MWeXef7GQh8MP8D9Wkxk1AD9HgyxZWXn+mer wxzBMntnxlr9+mkBerrVwUzYMd/IJQk= =hPh8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
