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.

<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.

<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.

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can
reduce evsel.h a bit more.

We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate
object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.
