Linus Torvalds d465bff130 perf tools changes for v6.1: 1st batch
- Add support for AMD on 'perf mem' and 'perf c2c', the kernel enablement
   patches went via tip.
 
   Example:
 
   $ sudo perf mem record -- -c 10000
   ^C[ perf record: Woken up 227 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 58.760 MB perf.data (836978 samples) ]
 
   $ sudo perf mem report -F mem,sample,snoop
   Samples: 836K of event 'ibs_op//', Event count (approx.): 8418762

 - "perf lock" improvements:
 
   - Add -E/--entries option to limit the number of entries to display, say to ask for
     just the top 5 contended locks.
 
   - Add -q/--quiet option to suppress header and debug messages.
 
   - Add a 'perf test' kernel lock contention entry to test 'perf lock'.
 
 - "perf lock contention" improvements:
 
   - Ask BPF's bpf_get_stackid() to skip some callchain entries.
 
     The ones closer to the tooling are bpf related and not that interesting, the
     ones calling the locking function are the ones we're interested in, example
     of a full, unskipped callstack:
 
   - Allow changing the callstack depth and number of entries to skip.
 
            1     10.74 us     10.74 us     10.74 us     spinlock   __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
                           0xffffffffc03b5c47  bpf_prog_bf07ae9e2cbd02c5_contention_begin+0x117
                           0xffffffffc03b5c47  bpf_prog_bf07ae9e2cbd02c5_contention_begin+0x117
                           0xffffffffbb8b8e75  bpf_trace_run2+0x35
                           0xffffffffbb7eab9b  __bpf_trace_contention_begin+0xb
                           0xffffffffbb7ebe75  queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x1f5
                           0xffffffffbc1c26ff  _raw_spin_lock+0x1f
                           0xffffffffbb841015  tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
                           0xffffffffbb8409ee  tick_irq_enter+0x9e
 
   - Show full callstack in verbose mode (-v option), sometimes this is desirable
     instead of showing just one callstack entry.
 
 - Allow multiple time ranges in 'perf record --delay' to help in reducing the
   amount of data collected from hardware tracing (Intel PT, etc) when there is
   a rough idea of periods of time where events of interest take time.
 
 - Add Intel PT to record only decoder debug messages when error happens.
 
 - Improve layout of Intel PT man page.
 
 - Add new branch types: alignment, data and inst faults and arch specific ones,
   such as fiq, debug_halt, debug_exit, debug_inst and debug_data on arm64.
 
   Kernel enablement went thru the tip tree.
 
 - Fix 'perf probe' error log check in 'perf test' when no debuginfo is
   available.
 
 - Fix 'perf stat' aggregation mode logic, it should be looking at the CPU
   not at the core number.
 
 - Fix flags parsing in 'perf trace' filters.
 
 - Introduce compact encoding of CPU range encoding on perf.data, to avoid
   having a bitmap with all the CPUs.
 
 - Improvements to the 'perf stat' metrics, including adding "core_wide", and
   computing "smt" from the CPU topology.
 
 - Add support to the new PERF_FORMAT_LOST perf_event_attr.read_format, that allows
   tooling to ask for the precise number of lost samples for a given event.
 
 - Add 'addr' sort key to see just the address of sampled instructions:
 
   $ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
   # Samples: 12  of event 'cycles:u'
   # Event count (approx.): 252512
   #
   # Overhead  Address
   # ........  ..................
       42.96%  0x7f96f08443d7
       29.55%  0x7f96f0859b50
       14.76%  0x7f96f0852e02
        8.30%  0x7f96f0855028
        4.43%  0xffffffff8de01087
 
   perf annotate: Toggle full address <-> offset display
 
 - Add 'f' hotkey to the 'perf annotate' TUI interface when in 'disassembler output'
   mode ('o' hotkey) to toggle showing full virtual address or just the offset.
 
 - Cache DSO build-ids when synthesizing PERF_RECORD_MMAP records for pre-existing threads,
   at the start of a 'perf record' session, speeding up that record startup phase.
 
 - Add a command line option to specify build ids in 'perf inject'.
 
 - Update JSON event files for the Intel alderlake, broadwell, broadwellde,
   broadwellx, cascadelakex, haswell, haswellx, icelake, icelakex, ivybridge,
   ivytown, jaketown, sandybridge, sapphirerapids, skylake, skylakex, and
   tigerlake processors.
 
 - Update vendor JSON event files for the ARM Neoverse V1 and E1 platforms.
 
 - Add a 'perf test' entry for 'perf mem' where a struct has false sharing and
   this gets detected in the 'perf mem' output, tested with Intel, AMD and ARM64
   systems.
 
 - Add a 'perf test' entry to test the resolution of java symbols, where an
   output like this is expected:
 
      8.18%  jshell    jitted-50116-29.so    [.] Interpreter
      0.75%  Thread-1  jitted-83602-1670.so  [.] jdk.internal.jimage.BasicImageReader.getString(int)
 
 - Add tests for the ARM64 CoreSight hardware tracing feature, with specially
   crafted pureloop, memcpy, thread loop and unroll tread that then gets
   traced and the output compared with expected output.
 
   Documentation explaining it is also included.
 
 - Add per thread Intel PT 'perf test' entry to check that PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events
   are recorded per CPU, resulting in a mixture of per thread and per CPU events and mmaps,
   verify that this gets all recorded correctly.
 
 - Introduce pthread mutex wrappers to allow for building with clang's
   -Wthread-safety, i.e. using the "guarded_by" "pt_guarded_by" "lockable",
   "exclusive_lock_function", "exclusive_trylock_function",
   "exclusive_locks_required", and "no_thread_safety_analysis" compiler function
   attributes.
 
 - Fix empty version number when building outside of a git repo.
 
 - Improve feature detection display when multiple versions of a feature are present, such
   as for binutils libbfd, that has a mix of possible ways to detect according to the
   Linux distribution.
 
   Previously in some cases we had:
 
   Auto-detecting system features
   <SNIP>
   ...                                  libbfd: [ on  ]
   ...                          libbfd-liberty: [ on  ]
   ...                        libbfd-liberty-z: [ on  ]
   <SNIP>
 
   Now for this case we show just the main feature:
 
   Auto-detecting system features
   <SNIP>
   ...                                  libbfd: [ on  ]
   <SNIP>
 
 - Remove some unused structs, variables, macros, function prototypes and
   includes from various places.
