A CI system might want to run all tests in verbose mode so that there is
enough information to diagnose issues. This LLVM test is the only test
that uses "-v" to signify to not skip the test if the preconditions
aren't met (LLVM isn't installed). This means that running the test in
verbose mode without LLVM installed causes a test failure.
For consistency with the other tests, remove this verbose/skip check. An
alternate solution would be to make _all_ tests not skip when run in
verbose mode, but I don't think that would be intuitive.
Also change the search_program() call to search_program_and_warn().
Previously the hint about installing LLVM was only printed by the actual
test because this check was skipped in verbose mode. To maintain the old
behaviour, the precondition check must also print the full warning.

When perf runs in compat mode (kernel in 64-bit mode and the perf is in
32-bit mode), the 64-bit value atomicity in the user space cannot be
assured, E.g. on some architectures, the 64-bit value accessing is split
into two instructions, one is for the low 32-bit word accessing and
another is for the high 32-bit word.
This patch introduces weak functions compat_auxtrace_mmap__read_head()
and compat_auxtrace_mmap__write_tail(), as their naming indicates, when
perf tool works in compat mode, it uses these two functions to access
the AUX head and tail. These two functions can allow the perf tool to
work properly in certain conditions, e.g. when perf tool works in
snapshot mode with only using AUX head pointer, or perf tool uses the
AUX buffer and the incremented tail is not bigger than 4GB.
When perf tool cannot handle the case when the AUX tail is bigger than
4GB, the function compat_auxtrace_mmap__write_tail() returns -1 and
tells the caller to bail out for the error.
These two functions are declared as weak attribute, this allows to
implement arch specific functions if any arch can support the 64-bit
value atomicity in compat mode.

Acaict, perf_home_perfconfig() is supposed to cache the result of
home_perfconfig, which returns the default location of perfconfig for
the user, given the HOME environment variable.
However, the current implementation calls home_perfconfig every time
perf_home_perfconfig() is called (so no caching is actually performed),
replacing the previous pointer, thus also causing a memory leak.
This patch adds a check of whether either config or failed is set and,
in that case, directly returns config without calling home_perfconfig at
each invocation.
Fixes: f5f03e19ce ("perf config: Add perf_home_perfconfig function")

[ Removed needless double check for the 'failed' variable ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
The 'perf record' and 'perf stat' commands have supported the option
'-C/--cpus' to count or collect only on the list of CPUs provided. This
option needs to be supported for hybrid as well.
For hybrid support, it needs to check that the cpu list are available
on hybrid PMU. One example for AlderLake, cpu0-7 is 'cpu_core', cpu8-11
is 'cpu_atom'.
Before:
# perf stat -e cpu_core/cycles/ -C11 -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 11':
<not supported> cpu_core/cycles/
1.006179431 seconds time elapsed
The 'perf stat' command silently returned "<not supported>" without any
helpful information. It should error out pointing out that that cpu11
was not 'cpu_core'.
After:
# perf stat -e cpu_core/cycles/ -C11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: 11 isn't a 'cpu_core', please use a CPU list in the 'cpu_core' range (0-7)
failed to use cpu list 11
We also need to support the events without pmu prefix specified.
# perf stat -e cycles -C11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: 11 isn't a 'cpu_core', please use a CPU list in the 'cpu_core' range (0-7)
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 11':
1,067,373 cpu_atom/cycles/
1.005544738 seconds time elapsed
The perf tool creates two cycles events automatically, cpu_core/cycles/ and
cpu_atom/cycles/. It checks that cpu11 is not 'cpu_core', then shows a warning
for cpu_core/cycles/ and only count the cpu_atom/cycles/.
If part of cpus are 'cpu_core' and part of cpus are 'cpu_atom', for example,
# perf stat -e cycles -C0,11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: use 0 in 'cpu_core' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.
WARNING: use 11 in 'cpu_atom' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,11':
1,914,704 cpu_core/cycles/
2,036,983 cpu_atom/cycles/
1.005815641 seconds time elapsed
It now automatically selects cpu0 for cpu_core/cycles/, selects cpu11 for
cpu_atom/cycles/, and output with some warnings.
Some more complex examples,
# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -C0,11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: use 0 in 'cpu_core' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.
WARNING: use 11 in 'cpu_atom' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.
WARNING: use 0 in 'cpu_core' for 'instructions', skip other cpus in list.
WARNING: use 11 in 'cpu_atom' for 'instructions', skip other cpus in list.
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0,11':
2,780,387 cpu_core/cycles/
1,583,432 cpu_atom/cycles/
3,957,277 cpu_core/instructions/
1,167,089 cpu_atom/instructions/
1.006005124 seconds time elapsed
# perf stat -e cycles,cpu_atom/instructions/ -C0,11 -- sleep 1
WARNING: use 0 in 'cpu_core' for 'cycles', skip other cpus in list.

The user may count or collect only on a cpu list via '-C/--cpus' option.
Previously cpus for an evsel were retrieved from PMU's sysfs. But if the
target cpu list is defined, the retrieved cpus are not kept and the
target cpu list is used instead.
But for hybrid system, we can't directly use target cpu list. The cpu
list may not be available on hybrid pmu (e.g. cpu_core or cpu_atom). So
we should not set the 'has_user_cpus' flag for hybrid system.
The difficulity is that we can't call perf_pmu__has_hybrid() in evlist.c
to check hybrid system otherwise 'perf test python' would be failed
(undefined symbol for perf_pmu__has_hybrid). If we add pmu.c to
python-ext-sources, too many symbol dependencies are hard to resolve.
We use an alternative method by using a new 'hybrid' flag in target
for hybrid system checking.

When the input is a regular file but the output is a pipe, it should
write a pipe header. But just repiping would write a portion of the
existing header which is different in 'size' value. So we need to
prevent it and write a new pipe header along with other information
like event attributes and features.
This can handle something like this:
# perf record -a -B sleep 1
# perf inject -b -i perf.data | perf report -i -
Factor out perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() to be shared between perf
record and inject.

On my aarch64 big endian machine, the perf annotate does not work.

...
This is because the arch_find() function uses the normalized architecture
name provided by normalize_arch(), and my machine's architecture name
aarch64_be is not normalized to arm64. Like other architectures such as
arm and powerpc, we can fuzzy match the architecture names associated with
aarch64.* and normalize them.
It seems that there is also arm64_be architecture name, which we also
normalize to arm64.
