bpf_create_map is deprecated. Replace it with bpf_map_create. Also add a
__weak bpf_map_create() so that when older version of libbpf is linked as
a shared library, it falls back to bpf_create_map().

In previous patch, we have supported the syntax which enables
the event on a specified pmu, such as:
cpu_core/<event>/
cpu_atom/<event>/
While this syntax is not very easy for applying on a set of
events or applying on a group. In following example, we have to
explicitly assign the pmu prefix.
# ./perf stat -e '{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/instructions/}' -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1,158,545 cpu_core/cycles/
1,003,113 cpu_core/instructions/
1.002428712 seconds time elapsed
A much easier way is:
# ./perf stat --cputype core -e '{cycles,instructions}' -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1,101,071 cpu_core/cycles/
939,892 cpu_core/instructions/
1.002363142 seconds time elapsed
For this example, the '--cputype' enables the events from specified
pmu (cpu_core).
If '--cputype' conflicts with pmu prefix, '--cputype' is ignored.
# ./perf stat --cputype core -e cycles,cpu_atom/instructions/ -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
21,003,407 cpu_core/cycles/
367,886 cpu_atom/instructions/

Currently topdown events must appear after a slots event:
$ perf stat -e '{slots,topdown-fe-bound}' /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
3,183,090 slots
986,133 topdown-fe-bound
Reversing the events yields:
$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (topdown-fe-bound).
For metrics the order of events is determined by iterating over a
hashmap, and so slots isn't guaranteed to be first which can yield this
error.
Change the set_leader in parse-events, called when a group is closed, so
that rather than always making the first event the leader, if the slots
event exists then it is made the leader. It is then moved to the head of
the evlist otherwise it won't be opened in the correct order.
The result is:
$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
3,274,795 slots
1,001,702 topdown-fe-bound
A problem with this approach is the slots event is identified by name,
names can be overwritten like 'cpu/slots,name=foo/' and this causes the
leader change to fail.
The change also modifies and fixes mixed groups like, with the change:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
5574985410 slots
971981616 instructions
1348461887 topdown-fe-bound
2.001263120 seconds time elapsed
Without the change:
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
<not counted> instructions
<not counted> slots
<not supported> topdown-fe-bound
2.006247990 seconds time elapsed
Something that may be undesirable here is that the events are reordered
in the output.

It is common to use the same counters with and without duration_time.
The ID sharing code treats duration_time as if it were a hardware event
placed in the same group. This causes unnecessary multiplexing such as
in the following example where l3_cache_access isn't shared:
$ perf stat -M l3 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
3,117,007 l3_cache_miss # 199.5 MB/s l3_rd_bw
# 43.6 % l3_hits
# 56.4 % l3_miss (50.00%)
5,526,447 l3_cache_access (50.00%)
5,392,435 l3_cache_access # 5389191.2 access/s l3_access_rate (50.00%)
1,000,601,901 ns duration_time
1.000601901 seconds time elapsed
Fix this by placing duration_time in all groups unless metric
sharing has been disabled on the command line:
$ perf stat -M l3 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
3,597,972 l3_cache_miss # 230.3 MB/s l3_rd_bw
# 48.0 % l3_hits
# 52.0 % l3_miss
6,914,459 l3_cache_access # 6909935.9 access/s l3_access_rate
1,000,654,579 ns duration_time
1.000654579 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat --metric-no-merge -M l3 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
3,501,834 l3_cache_miss # 53.5 % l3_miss (24.99%)
6,548,173 l3_cache_access (24.99%)
3,417,622 l3_cache_miss # 45.7 % l3_hits (25.04%)
6,294,062 l3_cache_access (25.04%)
5,923,238 l3_cache_access # 5919688.1 access/s l3_access_rate (24.99%)
1,000,599,683 ns duration_time
3,607,486 l3_cache_miss # 230.9 MB/s l3_rd_bw (49.97%)
1.000599683 seconds time elapsed
v2. Doesn't count duration_time in the metric_list_cmp function that
sorts larger metrics first. Without this a metric with duration_time
and an event is sorted the same as a metric with two events,
possibly not allowing the first metric to share with the second.

Arnaldo reported that building all his containers with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1
to then make this the default he found problems in some distros where
the system linux/bpf.h file was being used and lacked this:
util/bpf_skel/bperf_leader.bpf.c:13:20: error: use of undeclared identifier 'BPF_F_PRESERVE_ELEMS'
__uint(map_flags, BPF_F_PRESERVE_ELEMS);
So use instead the vmlinux.h file generated by bpftool from BTF info.
This fixed these as well, getting the build back working on debian:11,
debian:experimental and ubuntu:21.10:

Libbpf development version was bumped to 0.7 in c93faaaf2f
("libbpf: Deprecate bpf_prog_load_xattr() API"), activating a bunch of
previously scheduled deprecations. Most APIs are pretty straightforward
to replace with newer APIs, but perf has a complicated mixed setup with
libbpf used both as static and shared configurations, which makes it
non-trivial to migrate the APIs.
Further, bpf_program__set_prep() needs more involved refactoring, which
will require help from Arnaldo and/or Jiri.
So for now, mute deprecation warnings and work on migrating perf off of
deprecated APIs separately with the input from owners of the perf tool.

Currently, the 'weight' field in the perf sample has latency information
for some instructions like in memory accesses. And perf tool has 'weight'
and 'local_weight' sort keys to display the info.
But it's somewhat confusing what it shows exactly. In my understanding,
'local_weight' shows a weight in a single sample, and (global) 'weight'
shows a sum of the weights in the hist_entry.
For example:
$ perf mem record -t load dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1M
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight
...
#
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol Local Weight
# ........ ....... ....... ................ ......................... ............
#
21.23% 313 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 32
12.43% 183 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 35
11.97% 159 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 36
10.40% 141 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 32
7.63% 113 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 33
6.37% 92 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_get_not_zero 34
6.15% 90 dd [kernel.vmlinux] [k] lockref_put_return 33
...
So let's look at the 'lockref_get_not_zero' symbols. The top entry
shows that 313 samples were captured with 'local_weight' 32, so the
total weight should be 313 x 32 = 10016. But it's not the case:
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero
...
#
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Local Weight Weight
# ........ ....... ....... ................ ............ ......
#
1.36% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144
0.47% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 37 148
0.42% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128
0.40% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136
0.35% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144
0.34% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 35 140
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 36 144
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 34 136
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128
0.30% 4 dd [kernel.vmlinux] 32 128
...
With the 'weight' sort key, it's divided to 4 samples even with the same
info ('comm', 'dso', 'sym' and 'local_weight'). I don't think this is
what we want.
I found this because of the way it aggregates the 'weight' value. Since
it's not a period, we should not add them in the he->stat. Otherwise,
two 32 'weight' entries will create a 64 'weight' entry.
After that, new 32 'weight' samples don't have a matching entry so it'd
create a new entry and make it a 64 'weight' entry again and again.
Later, they will be merged into 128 'weight' entries during the
hists__collapse_resort() with 4 samples, multiple times like above.
Let's keep the weight and display it differently. For 'local_weight',
it can show the weight as is, and for (global) 'weight' it can display
the number multiplied by the number of samples.
With this change, I can see the expected numbers.
$ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero
...

When perf report synthesize events from ARM SPE data, it refers to
current cpu, pid and tid in the machine. But there's no place to set
them in the ARM SPE decoder. I'm seeing all pid/tid is set to -1 and
user symbols are not resolved in the output.

Like Intel PT, add context switch records to track task info. As ARM
SPE support was added later than PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE, I think
we can safely set the attr.context_switch bit and use it.

Perf tool sets exclude_guest by default while calling perf_event_open().
Because IBS does not have filtering capability, it always gets rejected
by IBS PMU driver and thus perf falls back to non-precise sampling. Fix
it by not setting exclude_guest by default on AMD.
Before:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
decreasing precise_ip by one (1)
precise_ip 1
decreasing precise_ip by one (0)
After:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -vvv true |& grep precise
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
Committer notes:
Fixup init to zero for perf_env in older compilers:
arch/x86/util/evsel.c:15:26: error: missing field 'os_release' initializer [-Werror,-Wmissing-field-initializers]
struct perf_env env = {0};
^
Committer notes:
Namhyung remarked:
It'd be nice if it can cover explicit "-e cycles:pp" as well.
Ravi clarified:
For explicit :pp modifier, evsel->precise_max does not get set and thus perf
does not try with different attr->precise_ip values while exclude_guest set.
So no issue with explicit :pp:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:pp -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
precise_ip 2
exclude_guest 1
switching off exclude_guest, exclude_host
precise_ip 2
^C
Also, with :P modifier, evsel->precise_max gets set but exclude_guest does
not and thus :P also works fine:
$ sudo ./perf record -C 0 -e cycles:P -vvv |& grep "precise_ip\|exclude_guest"
precise_ip 3
decreasing precise_ip by one (2)
precise_ip 2
^C

The current logic for the perf missing feature has a bug that it can
wrongly clear some modifiers like G or H. Actually some PMUs don't
support any filtering or exclusion while others do. But we check it as
a global feature.
For example, the cycles event can have 'G' modifier to enable it only in
the guest mode on x86. When you don't run any VMs it'll return 0.
# perf stat -a -e cycles:G sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
0 cycles:G
1.000721670 seconds time elapsed
But when it's used with other pmu events that don't support G modifier,
it'll be reset and return non-zero values.
# perf stat -a -e cycles:G,msr/tsc/ sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
538,029,960 cycles:G
16,924,010,738 msr/tsc/
1.001815327 seconds time elapsed
This is because of the missing feature detection logic being global.
Add a hashmap to set pmu-specific exclude_host/guest features.
Committer notes:
Fix 'perf test python' by adding a stub for evsel__find_pmu() in
tools/perf/util/python.c, document that it is used so far only for the
above reasons so that if anybody needs this in the python binding
usecases, we can revisit this.
