The --all-cgroups option is to enable cgroup profiling support.  It
tells kernel to record CGROUP events in the ring buffer so that perf
report can identify task/cgroup association later.

Implement basic functionality to support cgroup tracking.  Each cgroup
can be identified by inode number which can be read from userspace too.
The actual cgroup processing will come in the later patch.

<title>perf evsel: Support PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=d3f85437ad6a55113882d730beaa75759452da8f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d3f85437ad6a55113882d730beaa75759452da8f</id>
<content type='text'>
A new branch sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX has been introduced
in latest kernel.

Enable HW_INDEX by default in LBR call stack mode.

If kernel doesn't support the sample type, switching it off.

Add HW_INDEX in attr_fprintf as well. User can check whether the branch
sample type is set via debug information or header.

Committer testing:

First collect some samples with LBR callchains, system wide, for a few
seconds:

  # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 5
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.625 MB perf.data (224 samples) ]
  #

Now lets use 'perf evlist -v' to look at the branch_sample_type:

  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES|HW_INDEX
  #

So the machine has the kernel feature, and it was correctly added to
perf_event_attr.branch_sample_type, for the default 'cycles' event.

If we do it in another machine, where the kernel lacks the HW_INDEX
feature, we get:

  # perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 2s
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.690 MB perf.data (499 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES
  #

No HW_INDEX in attr.branch_sample_type.

<title>perf tools: Add hw_idx in struct branch_stack</title>

<id>urn:sha1:42bbabed09ce6208026648a71a45b4394c74585a</id>
<content type='text'>
The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.

However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack.  Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output.  Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].

To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.

Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.

Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.

Committer notes:

Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.

Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.

Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.

<id>urn:sha1:3220fb8d5e59d7a9b59d02965d4209aef7691e9f</id>
<content type='text'>
perf with CoreSight fails to record trace data with command:

  perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ls
  failed to set sink "" on event cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u with 21 (Is a
  directory)/perf/

This failure is root caused with the commit 1dc925568f01 ("perf
parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms").

The log shows, cs_etm fails to parse the sink attribution; cs_etm event
relies on the event configuration to pass sink name, but the event
specific configuration data cannot be passed properly with flow:

  get_config_terms()
    ADD_CONFIG_TERM(DRV_CFG, term-&gt;val.str);
      __t-&gt;val.str = term-&gt;val.str;
        `&gt; __t-&gt;val.str is assigned to term-&gt;val.str;

  parse_events_terms__purge()
    parse_events_term__delete()
      zfree(&amp;term-&gt;val.str);
        `&gt; term-&gt;val.str is freed and assigned to NULL pointer;

  cs_etm_set_sink_attr()
    sink = __t-&gt;val.str;
      `&gt; sink string has been freed.

To fix this issue, in the function get_config_terms(), this patch
changes to use strdup() for allocation a new duplicate string rather
than directly assignment string pointer.

This patch addes a new field 'free_str' in the data structure
perf_evsel_config_term; 'free_str' is set to true when the union is used
as a string pointer; thus it can tell perf_evsel__free_config_terms() to
free the string.

<content type='text'>
The struct perf_evsel_config_term::val is a union which contains fields
'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch' as string pointers.  This leads to
the complex code logic for handling every type's string separately, and
it's hard to release string as a general way.

This patch refactors the structure to add a common field 'str' in the
'val' union as string pointer and remove the other three fields
'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch'.  Without passing field name, the
patch simplifies the string handling with macro ADD_CONFIG_TERM_STR()
for string pointer assignment.

This patch fixes multiple warnings of line over 80 characters detected
by checkpatch tool.

<title>perf stat: Use affinity for opening events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4804e0111662d7d89edf4e767a64c6f7e4778bb1</id>
<content type='text'>
Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.

This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.

We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.

It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly.  Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs:

  % time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall
  ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
   42.75    4.050910          67     60046       110 perf_event_open

After:

   26.86    0.944396          16     58069       110 perf_event_open

(the number changes slightly because the weak group retries
work differently and the test case relies on weak groups)

Committer notes:

Added one of the hunks in a patch provided by Andi after I noticed that
the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.

Default config for a PMU is defined before selected events are parsed.
That allows the user-entered config to override the default config.

However that does not allow for changing the default config based on
other options.

For example, if the user chooses AUX area sampling mode, in the case of
Intel PT, the psb_period needs to be small for sampling, so there is a
need to set the default psb_period to 0 (2 KiB) in that case. However
that should not override a value set by the user. To allow for that,
when using default config, record which bits of config were changed by
the user.
