Now the boot-time tracing supports kprobes events and that must be
written in bootconfig file in the following format.
ftrace.event.kprobes.<EVENT_NAME>.probes = <PROBE-DEF>
'perf probe' already supports --definition (-D) action to show probe
definitions, but the format is for tracefs:
[p|r][:EVENT_NAME] <PROBE-DEF>
This patch adds the --bootconfig option for -D action so that it outputs
the probe definitions in bootconfig format. E.g.
$ perf probe --bootconfig -D "path_lookupat:7 err:s32 s:string"
ftrace.event.kprobes.path_lookupat_L7.probe = 'path_lookupat.isra.0+309 err_s32=%ax:s32 s_string=+0(%r13):string'

'perf probe' internally checks the probe target is in the text area in
post-process (after analyzing debuginfo). But it fails if the probe
target is in the "inittext".
This is a good limitation for the online kernel because such functions
have gone after booting. However, for using it for boot-time tracing,
user may want to put a probe on init functions.
This skips the post checking process if the target is offline kenrel so
that user can get the probe definition on the init functions.
Without this patch:

For some platforms, such as Alderlake, the 'mem-loads' event is required
to use together with 'mem-loads-aux' within a group and 'mem-loads-aux'
must be the group leader. Now we disable this group before reporting
because 'mem-loads-aux' is just an auxiliary event. It doesn't carry
any valid memory load result. If we show the 'mem-loads-aux' +
'mem-loads' as a group in report, it needs many of changes but they
are totally unnecessary.

The perf_mem_events__name() can generate the mem-load event name.
It uses a variable 'mem_loads_name__init' to avoid generating the
event name every time (because perf_pmu__scan takes some time).
The perf_mem_events__name() assumes the pmu is "cpu" but it's not
correct for hybrid platform. For Alderlake, the pmu is "cpu_core" or
"cpu_atom"
Introduce a new parameter 'pmu_name' in perf_mem_events__name
to let the caller specify a pmu name.
Considering such event name is x86 specific, so move
perf_mem_events[] to arch/x86/util/mem-events.c.
We still keep the variable 'mem_loads_name__init' but it's only
used when pmu_name is NULL (compatible for original behavior). When
pmu_name is not NULL (e.g. "cpu_core"), this patch doesn't have
optimization. That can be implemented in follow up patch.

When run as normal user with default sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
and kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2, perf probe fails with:
$ ./perf probe move_page_tables
Relocated base symbol is not found!
The warning message is not much informative. The reason perf fails
is because /proc/kallsyms is restricted by perf_event_paranoid=2
for normal user and thus perf fails to read relocated address of
the base symbol.
Tweaking kptr_restrict and perf_event_paranoid can change the
behavior of perf probe. Also, running as root or privileged user
works too. Add these details in the warning message.
Plus, kmap->ref_reloc_sym might not be always set even if
host_machine is initialized. Above is the example of the same.

The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some
cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.
Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.
Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.
Example:
A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.
# for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done
rtm
Test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <immintrin.h>
int main()
{
int x = 0;
if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {
x = 1;
_xabort(1);
} else {
printf("x = %d\n", x);
}
return 0;
}
Compile with -mrtm i.e.
gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort
Record:
perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort

Compiling perf with make LIBPFM4=1 includes libpfm support and
enables test case 63 'Test libpfm4 support'. This test reports an error
on all platforms for subtest 63.2 'test groups of --pfm-events'.
The reported error message is 'nested event groups not supported'
# ./perf test -F 63
63: Test libpfm4 support :
63.1: test of individual --pfm-events :
Error:

Error:

event not found
Ok
#
This patch addresses the error message 'nested event groups not supported'.
The root cause is function parse_libpfm_events_option() which parses the
event string '{},{instructions}' and can not handle a leading empty
group notation '{},...'.
The code detects the first (empty) group indicator '{' but does not
terminate group processing on the following group closing character '}'.
So when the second group indicator '{' is detected, the code assumes
a nested group and returns an error.
With the error message fixed, also change the expected event number to
one for the test case to succeed.
While at it also fix a memory leak. In good case the function does not
free the duplicated string given as first parameter.
Output after:
# ./perf test -F 63

When a zero timestamp is encountered, warn once. This is to make
hardware or configuration issues visible. Also suggest that the issue
can be worked around with the --itrace=Z option.
When an underflow with a non-zero timestamp occurs, warn every time.
This is an unexpected scenario, and with increasing timestamps, it's
unlikely that it would occur more than once, therefore it should be
ok to warn every time.
Only try to calculate the timestamp by subtracting the instruction
count if neither of the above cases are true. This makes attempting
to decode files with zero timestamps in non-timeless mode
more consistent. Currently it can half work if the timestamp wraps
around and becomes non-zero, although the behavior is undefined and
unpredictable.

Recently the 'Z' --itrace option was added to override detection
of timeless decoding. This is also useful in Coresight to work around
issues with invalid timestamps on some hardware.
When the 'Z' option is provided, the existing timeless decoding mode
will be used, even if timestamps were recorded.

Perf has supported the CPU_PMU_CAPS feature to display a list of CPU PMU
capabilities. But on a hybrid platform, it may have several CPU PMUs (such
as "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom"). The CPU_PMU_CAPS feature is hard to extend
to support multiple CPU PMUs well if it needs to be compatible for the case
of old perf data file + new perf tool.
So for better compatibility we now create a new feature HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS
in the header.
For the perf.data generated on hybrid platform,
root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I
# cpu_core pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
# cpu_atom pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
# missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CPU_PMU_CAPS CLOCK_DATA
For the perf.data generated on non-hybrid platform
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I
# cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake
# missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CLOCK_DATA HYBRID_TOPOLOGY HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS

It is useful to let the user know about the hybrid topology.
Add the HYBRID_TOPOLOGY feature in header to indicate the core CPUs
and the atom CPUs.
With this patch a perf.data generated on a hybrid platform reports
the hybrid CPU list:
root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I
...
# hybrid cpu system:
# cpu_core cpu list : 0-15
# cpu_atom cpu list : 16-23
For a perf.data generated on a non-hybrid platform, reports a message
that HYBRID_TOPOLOGY is missing:

The following attribute is set when synthesising samples in
timed decoding mode:
attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_TIME;
This results in new samples that appear to have timestamps but
because we don't assign any timestamps to the samples, when the
resulting inject file is opened again, the synthesised samples
will be on the wrong side of the MMAP or COMM events.
For example, this results in the samples being associated with
the perf binary, rather than the target of the record:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u top
perf inject -i perf.data -o perf.inject --itrace=i100il
perf report -i perf.inject
Where 'Command' == perf should show as 'top':
# Overhead Command Source Shared Object Source Symbol Target Symbol Basic Block Cycles
# ........ ....... .................... ...................... ...................... ..................
#
31.08% perf [unknown] [.] 0x000000000040c3f8 [.] 0x000000000040c3e8 -
If the perf.data file is opened directly with perf, without the
inject step, then this already works correctly because the
events are synthesised after the COMM and MMAP events and
no second sorting happens. Re-sorting only happens when opening
the perf.inject file for the second time so timestamps are
needed.
Using the timestamp from the AUX record mirrors the current
behaviour when opening directly with perf, because the events
are generated on the call to cs_etm__process_queues().
The ETM trace could optionally contain time stamps, but there is
no way to correlate this with the kernel time. So, the best available
time value is that of the AUX_RECORD header. This patch uses
the timestamp from the header for all the samples. The ordering of the
samples are implicit in the trace and thus is fine with respect to
relative ordering.

Remove ambiguity in variable names relating to timestamps.
A later commit will save the sample kernel timestamp in one of the etm
structs, so name all elements appropriately to avoid confusion.
This is also removes some ambiguity arising from the fact that the
--timestamp argument to perf record refers to sample kernel timestamps,
and the /timestamp/ event modifier refers to CS timestamps, so the term
is overloaded.

The ps->res_stats is for repeated runs, so the interval code should
not touch it. Actually the aggregated counts are available in the
counter->counts->aggr, so we can (and should) use it directly IMHO.
