The tracepoints trace_sched_stat_{wait, sleep, iowait} are not exposed to user
if CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is not set, "perf sched record" records the three events.
As a result, the command fails.
Before:
#perf sched record sleep 1
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_stat_wait'

Error: File /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_stat_wait not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

Solution:
Check whether schedstat tracepoints are exposed. If no, these events are not recorded.

The "address" member of "struct probe_trace_point" uses long data type.
If kernel is 64-bit and perf program is 32-bit, size of "address"
variable is 32 bits.
As a result, upper 32 bits of address read from kernel are truncated, an
error occurs during address comparison in kprobe_warn_out_range().
Before:
# perf probe -a schedule
schedule is out of .text, skip it.
Error: Failed to add events.
Solution:
Change data type of "address" variable to u64 and change corresponding
address printing and value assignment.
After:
# perf.new.new probe -a schedule
Added new event:
probe:schedule (on schedule)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l
probe:schedule (on schedule@kernel/sched/core.c)
# perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1

ASan reports several memory leaks running:
# perf test "88: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname"
The first of these leaks is related to struct trace fields never being
deallocated.
This patch adds the function trace__exit, which is called at the end of
cmd_trace, replacing the existing deallocation, which is now moved
inside the new function.
This function deallocates:
- ev_qualifier
- ev_qualifier_ids.entries
- syscalls.table
- sctbl
- perfconfig_events

ASan reports several memory leaks while running:
# perf test "82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames"
Two of these are caused by some refcounts not being decreased on
perf-script exit, namely script.threads and script.cpus.
This patch adds the missing __put calls in a new perf_script__exit

Populate the auxtrace queues using AUX records rather than whole
auxtrace buffers so that the decoder is reset between each aux record.
This is similar to the auxtrace_queues__process_index() ->
auxtrace_queues__add_indexed_event() flow where
perf_session__peek_event() is used to read AUXTRACE events out of random
positions in the file based on the auxtrace index.
But now we loop over all PERF_RECORD_AUX events instead of AUXTRACE
buffers. For each PERF_RECORD_AUX event, we find the corresponding
AUXTRACE buffer using the index, and add a fragment of that buffer to
the auxtrace queues.
No other changes to decoding were made, apart from populating the
auxtrace queues. The result of decoding is identical to before, except
in cases where decoding failed completely, due to not resetting the
decoder.
The reason for this change is because AUX records are emitted any time
tracing is disabled, for example when the process is scheduled out.
Because ETM was disabled and enabled again, the decoder also needs to be
reset to force the search for a sync packet. Otherwise there would be
fatal decoding errors.
Testing
=======
Testing was done with the following script, to diff the decoding results
between the patched and un-patched versions of perf:
#!/bin/bash
set -ex
$1 script -i $3 $4 > split.script
$2 script -i $3 $4 > default.script
diff split.script default.script | head -n 20
And it was run like this, with various itrace options depending on the
quantity of synthesised events:
compare.sh ./perf-patched ./perf-default perf-per-cpu-2-threads.data --itrace=i100000ns
No changes in output were observed in the following scenarios:
* Simple per-cpu
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u top
* Per-thread, single thread
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ./threads_C
* Per-thread multiple threads (but only one thread collected data):
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread --pid 4596,4597
* Per-thread multiple threads (both threads collected data):
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread --pid 4596,4597
* Per-cpu explicit threads:
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --pid 853,854
* System-wide (per-cpu):
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a
* No data collected (no aux buffers)
Can happen with any command when run for a short period
* Containing truncated records
Can happen with any command
* Containing aux records with 0 size
Can happen with any command
* Snapshot mode (various files with and without buffer wrap)
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a --snapshot
Some differences were observed in the following scenario:
* Snapshot mode (with duplicate buffers)
perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u -a --snapshot
Fewer samples are generated in snapshot mode if duplicate buffers
were gathered because buffers with the same offset are now only added
once. This gives different, but more correct results and no duplicate
data is decoded any more.

On a hybrid platform, by default 'perf stat' aggregates and reports the
event counts per PMU. For example,

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
1,400,445 cpu_core/cycles/
680,881 cpu_atom/cycles/
0.001770773 seconds time elapsed
But for uncore events that's not a suitable method. Uncore has nothing
to do with hybrid. So for uncore events, we aggregate event counts from
all PMUs and report the counts without PMUs.
Before:
# perf stat -e arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/,arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ -a true

On hybrid platform, such as Alderlake, if atom CPUs are offlined,
the kernel still exports the sysfs path '/sys/devices/cpu_atom/' for
'cpu_atom' pmu but the file '/sys/devices/cpu_atom/cpus' is empty,
which indicates this is an invalid pmu.
Need to check and skip the invalid hybrid pmu.

The cpu_atom events are still displayed even if atom CPUs are offlined.

Some different PMU types may have the same substring. For example, on
Icelake server we have PMU types "uncore_imc" and
"uncore_imc_free_running". Both PMU types have the substring
"uncore_imc". But the parser wrongly thinks they are the same PMU type.
We enable an imc event,
perf stat -e uncore_imc/event=0xe3/ -a -- sleep 1
Perf actually expands the event to:
uncore_imc_0/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_1/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_2/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_3/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_4/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_5/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_6/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_7/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_0/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_1/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_3/event=0xe3/
uncore_imc_free_running_4/event=0xe3/
That's because the "uncore_imc_free_running" matches the
pattern "uncore_imc*".
Now we check that the last characters of PMU name is '_<digit>'.
For example, for pattern "uncore_imc*", "uncore_imc_0" is parsed ok, but
"uncore_imc_free_running_0" fails.

To parse symbols the metadata records, e.g., PERF_RECORD_COMM, which are
generated by the kernel, are required.
To decide whether to generate the metadata records, the kernel relies on
the event_filter_match() to filter the unrelated events.
On a hybrid system, event_filter_match() further checks the CPU mask of
the current enabled PMU. If an event is collected on the CPU which
doesn't have an enabled PMU, it's treated as an unrelated event.
The "big_small_workload" is created in a big core, but runs on a small
core. The metadata records are filtered, because the user only monitors
the PMU of the small core. The big core PMU is not enabled.
For a hybrid system, a dummy event is required to generate the complete
side-band events.

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors.
The Topdown metrics L1 event was added as default in 42641d6f4d
("perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events")
From the Sapphire Rapids server and later platforms, the same dedicated
"metrics" register is extended to support both L1 and L2 events.
Add both L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events as default to enrich the
default measuring information if the new measurement register is
available.
On legacy systems there is no change to avoid extra multiplexing.
The topdown_level indicates the max metrics level for the top-down
statistics. Set it to 2 to display all L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events.

Move evsel::leader to perf_evsel::leader, so we can move the group
interface to libperf.
Also add several evsel helpers to ease up the transition:
struct evsel *evsel__leader(struct evsel *evsel);
- get leader evsel
bool evsel__has_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- true if evsel has leader as leader
bool evsel__is_leader(struct evsel *evsel);
- true if evsel is itw own leader
void evsel__set_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- set leader for evsel
Committer notes:
Fix this when building with 'make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1'
tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c
- if (evsel->leader->core.nr_members > 1) {
+ if (evsel->core.leader->nr_members > 1) {

The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g.
jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop
needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret"
instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is
assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a
decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code.
Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic
purposes have been reported to exceed that.
Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config
intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to
mention the configuration entry.

Commit 48a1f56526 ("perf script python: Add more PMU fields to
event handler dict") added functionality to report fields like weight,
iregs, uregs etc via perf report. That commit predefined buffer size to
512 bytes to print those fields.
But in PowerPC, since we added extended regs support in:
068aeea377 ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs")
d735599a06 ("powerpc/perf: Add extended regs support for power10 platform")
Now iregs can carry more bytes of data and this predefined buffer size
can result to data loss in perf script output.
This patch resolves this issue by making the buffer size dynamic, based
on the number of registers needed to print. It also changes the
regs_map() return type from int to void, as it is not being used by the
set_regs_in_dict(), its only caller.
Fixes: 068aeea377 ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs")

ASan reports a heap-buffer-overflow in elf_sec__is_text when using perf-top.
The bug is caused by the fact that secstrs is built from runtime_ss, while
shdr is built from syms_ss if shdr.sh_type != SHT_NOBITS. Therefore, they
point to two different ELF files.
This patch renames secstrs to secstrs_run and adds secstrs_sym, so that
the correct secstrs is chosen depending on shdr.sh_type.

If the disasm is empty, 's' should fail. Instead it seemingly works,
hiding the empty lines and causing an assertion error on the next time
annotate is called (from within perf report).
The problem is caused by a buffer overflow, caused by a wrong exit
condition in annotate_browser__find_next_asm_line, which checks
browser->b.top instead of browser->b.entries.
This patch fixes the issue, making annotate_browser__toggle_source
fail if the disasm is empty (nothing happens to the user).
Fixes: 6de249d66d ("perf annotate: Allow 's' on source code lines")
