tools/perf: Correctly calculate sample period for inherited SAMPLE_READ values
Sample period calculation in deliver_sample_value is updated to
calculate the per-thread period delta for events that are inherit +
PERF_SAMPLE_READ. When the sampling event has this configuration, the
read_format.id is used with the tid from the sample to lookup the
storage of the previously accumulated counter total before calculating
the delta. All existing valid configurations where read_format.value
represents some global value continue to use just the read_format.id to
locate the storage of the previously accumulated total.
perf_sample_id is modified to support tracking per-thread
values, along with the existing global per-id values. In the
per-thread case, values are stored in a hash by tid within the
perf_sample_id, and are dynamically allocated as the number is not known
ahead of time.
The other cbox events have the unit name "CBOX", while the fixed counter
has a unit name "cbox_0". So the events_table will maintain separate
entries for cbox and cbox_0.
The perf_pmus__print_pmu_events() calculates the total number of events,
allocate an aliases buffer, store all the events into the buffer, sort,
and print all the aliases one by one.
The problem is that the calculated total number of events doesn't match
the stored events in the aliases buffer.
The perf_pmu__num_events() is used to calculate the number of events. It
invokes the pmu_events_table__num_events() to go through the entire
events_table to find all events. Because of the
pmu_uncore_alias_match(), the suffix of uncore PMU will be ignored. So
the events for cbox and cbox_0 are all counted.
When storing events into the aliases buffer, the
perf_pmu__for_each_event() only process the events for cbox.
Since a bigger buffer was allocated, the last entry are all 0.
When printing all the aliases, null will be outputted, and trigger the
failure.
The mismatch was introduced from the commit e3edd6cf6399 ("perf
pmu-events: Reduce processed events by passing PMU"). The
pmu_events_table__for_each_event() stops immediately once a pmu is set.
But for uncore, especially this case, the method is wrong and mismatch
what perf does in the perf_pmu__num_events().

The reason of error is that the events are regrouped and
topdown-retiring event is moved to closely after the slots event and
topdown-retiring event needs to do the sampling, but Intel PMU driver

For topdown metrics events, it just requires to be in a group which has
slots event as leader. It doesn't require topdown metrics event must be

event closely after slots event in events regrouping and furtherly cause

perf record -e '{slots,branches}:S' -c 10000 -vv sleep 1
In this case, the slots event should be sampled as leader but the
branches event is sampled in fact like the verbose output shows.
It's not complete to check whether an event is a topdown slots or
topdown metrics event by only comparing the event name since user
may assign the event by RAW format, e.g.
perf stat -e '{instructions,cpu/r400/,cpu/r8300/}' sleep 1
The RAW format slots and topdown-be-bound events are not recognized and
not regroup the events, and eventually cause error.
Thus add two helpers arch_is_topdown_slots()/arch_is_topdown_metrics()
to detect whether an event is topdown slots/metrics event by comparing
the event config directly, and use these two helpers to replace the
original event name comparisons.

perf sched replay: Remove unused parts of the code
The sleep_sem semaphore and the specific_wait field (member of sched_atom)
are initialized but not used anywhere in the code, so this patch removes
them.
The SCHED_EVENT_MIGRATION case in perf_sched__process_event() is currently
not used and is also removed.
Additionally, prev_state in add_sched_event_sleep() is marked with
__maybe_unused and is not utilized anywhere in the function. This patch
removes the parameter.
If the task_state parameter was intended for future use, it can be
reintroduced when needed.
install_doc of tools/lib/perf/Makefile invokes install-man,
install-html, and install-examples of
tools/lib/perf/Documentation/Makefile at once. This invocation succeeds
when make runs in serial but can fail when make runs in parallel because
while install-man of tools/lib/perf/Documentation/Makefile depends on
all, install-html depends on nothing and can run ahead of all.
Explicitly specify the dependencies of install-html to ensure that
they are resolved before install-html.

Test that one cycles event is opened for each core PMU when "perf stat"
is run without arguments.
The event line can either be output as "pmu/cycles/" or just "cycles" if
there is only one PMU. Include 2 spaces for padding in the one PMU case
to avoid matching when the word cycles is included in metric

meaning that default events weren't being opened on all PMUs on
ARM. Change the creation of the default events to use parse_events and
strings as that will open the events on all PMUs.
Rather than try to detect events on PMUs before parsing, parse the
event but skip its output in stat-display.
The previous order of hardware events was: cycles,
stalled-cycles-frontend, stalled-cycles-backend, instructions. As
instructions is a more fundamental concept the order is changed to:
instructions, cycles, stalled-cycles-frontend, stalled-cycles-backend.

perf stat: Uniquify event name improvements
Without aggregation on Intel:
```
$ perf stat -e instructions,cycles ...
```
Will use "cycles" for the name of the legacy cycles event but as
"instructions" has a sysfs name it will and a "[cpu]" PMU suffix. This
often breaks things as the space between the event and the PMU name
look like an extra column. The existing uniquify logic was also
uniquifying in cases when all events are core and not with uncore
events, it was not correctly handling modifiers, etc.
Change the logic so that an initial pass that can disable
uniquification is run. For individual counters, disable uniquification
in more cases such as for consistency with legacy events or for
libpfm4 events. Don't use the "[pmu]" style suffix in uniquification,
always use "pmu/.../". Change how modifiers/terms are handled in the
uniquification so that they look like parse-able events.
This fixes "102: perf stat metrics (shadow stat) test:" that has been
failing due to "instructions [cpu]" breaking its column/awk logic when
values aren't aggregated. This started happening when instructions
could match a sysfs rather than a legacy event, so the fixes tag
reflects this.

Flushing is still done on a discontinuity to explicitly clear the last

Make sure that a final branch stack is output at the end of the trace

We'll probably need to come up with some way for using the BTF info to
synthesize a test that then gets used and captures the output of the
'perf trace' output to check if the arguments are the ones synthesized,
randomically, for now, lets make do manually:
Interesting, glibc seems to be using rseq here, as in addition to the
totally fake one this test case uses, we have this one, around these
other syscalls:
And also the focus for the v6.13 should be to have a better, strace
like BTF pretty printer as one of the outputs we can get from the libbpf
BTF dumper.

The branch counter information (br_cntr_width and br_cntr_nr) in the
perf_env is retrieved from the CPU_PMU_CAPS. However, the CPU_PMU_CAPS
is not available on hybrid machines. Without the width information, the
number of occurrences of an event cannot be calculated.
For a hybrid machine, the caps information should be retrieved from the
PMU_CAPS, and stored in the perf_env->pmu_caps.
Add a perf_env__find_br_cntr_info() to return the correct branch counter
information from the corresponding fields.

Just collapse it down to -O3, instead of "-O6 unless Clang, in which case
-O3".
GCC interprets > -O3 as -O3. It doesn't even interpret > -O3 as -Ofast,
which is a good thing, given -Ofast has specific (non-)requirements for
code built using it. So, this does nothing except look a bit daft.

perf trace: Support collecting 'union's with the BPF augmenter
And reuse the BTF based struct pretty printer, with that we can offer
initial support for the 'bpf' syscall's second argument, a 'union
bpf_attr' pointer.
But this is not that satisfactory as the libbpf btf dumper will pretty
print _all_ the union, we need to have a way to say that the first arg
selects the type for the union member to be pretty printed, something
like what pahole does translating the PERF_RECORD_ selector into a name,
and using that name to find a matching struct.
In the case of 'union bpf_attr' it would map PROG_LOAD to one of the
union members, but unfortunately there is no such mapping:
So this is one case where BTF gets us only that far, not getting all
the way to automate the pretty printing of unions designed like 'union
bpf_attr', we will need a custom pretty printer for this union, as using
the libbpf union BTF dumper is way too verbose:
For simpler unions this may be better than not seeing any payload, so
keep it there.

Committer notes:
Simplified the btf_dump_snprintf callback to avoid using multiple
buffers, as discussed in the thread accessible via the Link tag below.
I.e. show the type and struct field names according to that tunable, we
probably need another tunable just for this, but for now if the user
wants to see syscall names in addition to its value, it makes sense to
see the struct field names according to that tunable.
Committer testing:
The following have explicitely set beautifiers (SCA_FILENAME,
SCA_SOCKADDR and SCA_PERF_ATTR), SCA_FILENAME is here just because we
have been wiring up the "renameat2" ("renameat" until recently), so it
doesn't use the introduced generic fallback (btf_struct_scnprintf(), see
the definition of SCA_PERF_ATTR, SCA_SOCKADDR to see the more feature
rich beautifiers, that are not using BTF):
Now if we use it even for the ones we have a specific beautifier in
tools/perf/trace/beauty, i.e. use btf_struct_scnprintf() for all
structs, by adding the following patch:
#define AF_UNIX 1 /* Unix domain sockets */
#define AF_LOCAL 1 /* POSIX name for AF_UNIX */
#define AF_INET 2 /* Internet IP Protocol */
<SNIP>
#define AF_INET6 10 /* IP version 6 */
And 'D' == 68, so the preexisting sockaddr BPF collector is working with
the new generic BTF pretty printer (btf_struct_scnprintf()), its just
that it doesn't know about 'struct sockaddr' besides what is in BTF,
i.e. its an array of bytes, not an IPv4 address that needs extra
massaging.
We need to work with the libbpf btf dump api to get one output that
matches the 'perf trace'/strace expectations/format, but having this in
this current form is already an improvement to 'perf trace', so lets
improve from what we have.

We also have to take into account syscall_arg_fmt.from_user when telling
the kernel what to copy in the sys_enter generic collector, we don't
want to collect bogus data in buffers that will only be available to us
