There is a kernel patch pending that renames PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_EXTN_MEM to
PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_CXL, tooling this time is ahead of the kernel :-)

This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new
ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type
field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch
types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel.
Committer note:
Add an extra entry to the branch_type_name array to cope with
PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, to address build warnings on some compiler/systems,
like:

This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with
two new branch types i.e system error (PERF_BR_SERROR) and not in
transaction (PERF_BR_NO_TX) which got updated earlier in the kernel.
This also updates corresponding branch type strings in
branch_type_name().
Committer notes:
At perf tools merge time this is only on PeterZ's tree, at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git perf/core
So for testing one has to build a kernel with that branch, then test
the tooling side from:

Add a flag to the 'perf mem' data struct to signal that a request caused
a cache-to-cache transfer of a line from a peer of the requestor and
wasn't sourced from a lower cache level.
The line being moved from one peer cache to another has latency and
performance implications.
On Arm64 Neoverse systems the data source can indicate a cache-to-cache
transfer but not if the line is dirty or clean, so instead of
overloading HITM define a new flag that indicates this type of transfer.
Committer notes:
This really is not syncing with the kernel since the patch to the kernel
wasn't merged.
But we're going ahead of this as it seems trivial and is just a matter
of the perf kernel maintainers to give their ack or for us to find
another way of expressing this in the perf records synthesized in
userspace from the ARM64 hardware traces.

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)
@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@
struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};
-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:
../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^
Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation
to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.

Add new macros for mem_hops field which can be used to represent
remote-node, socket and board level details.
Currently the code had macro for HOPS_0 which, corresponds to data
coming from another core but same node. Add new macros for HOPS_1 to
HOPS_3 to represent remote-node, socket and board level data.
Also add corresponding strings in the mem_hops array to represent
mem_hop field data in perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf function
Incase mem_hops field is used, PERF_MEM_LVLNUM field also need to be set
inorder to represent the data source. Hence printing data source via
PERF_MEM_LVL field can be skip in that scenario.
For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache:
L2 - local L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0 - remote core, same node L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_1 - remote node, same socket L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_2 - remote socket, same board L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_3 - remote board L2

Going forward, future generation systems can have more hierarchy
within the node/package level but currently we don't have any data source
encoding field in perf, which can be used to represent this level of data.
Add a new field called 'mem_hops' in the perf_mem_data_src structure
which can be used to represent intra-node/package or inter-node/off-package
details. This field is of size 3 bits where PERF_MEM_HOPS_{NA, 0..6} value
can be used to present different hop levels data.
Also add corresponding macros to define mem_hop field values
and shift value.
Currently we define macro for HOPS_0 which corresponds
to data coming from another core but same node.
Add functionality to represent mem_hop field data in
perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf function with the help of added string
array called mem_hops.
For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache:
L2 - local L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0 - remote core, same node L2
Since with the addition of HOPS field, now remote can be used to
denote cache access from the same node but different core, a check
is added in the c2c_decode_stats function to set mrem only when HOPS
is zero along with set remote field.

perf_event.h has macros that define the field offsets in the data_src
bitmask in perf records. The SNOOPX and REMOTE offsets were both 37.
These are distinct fields, and the bitfield layout in perf_mem_data_src
confirms that SNOOPX should be at offset 38.

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.
Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.
Committer notes:
I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:
# perf test -v parsing
26: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17018
sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
#
With the two paches combined:
# perf test parsing
26: Sample parsing : Ok

When synthesizing FORK events, we are trying to create thread objects
for the already running tasks on the machine.
Normally, for a kernel FORK event, we want to clone the parent's maps
because that is what the kernel just did.
But when synthesizing, this should not be done. If we do, we end up
with overlapping maps as we process the sythesized MMAP2 events that
get delivered shortly thereafter.
Use the FORK event misc flags in an internal way to signal this
situation, so we can elide the map clone when appropriate.

Problem and motivation: Once a breakpoint perf event (PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT)
is created, there is no flexibility to change the breakpoint type
(bp_type), breakpoint address (bp_addr), or breakpoint length (bp_len). The
only option is to close the perf event and configure a new breakpoint
event. This inflexibility has a significant performance overhead. For
example, sampling-based, lightweight performance profilers (and also
concurrency bug detection tools), monitor different addresses for a short
duration using PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT and change the address (bp_addr) to
another address or change the kind of breakpoint (bp_type) from "write" to
a "read" or vice-versa or change the length (bp_len) of the address being
monitored. The cost of these modifications is prohibitive since it involves
unmapping the circular buffer associated with the perf event, closing the
perf event, opening another perf event and mmaping another circular buffer.
Solution: The new ioctl flag for perf events,
PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES, introduced in this patch takes a pointer
to a struct perf_event_attr as an argument to update an old breakpoint
event with new address, type, and size. This facility allows retaining a
previous mmaped perf events ring buffer and avoids having to close and
reopen another perf event.
This patch supports only changing PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event type; future
implementations can extend this feature. The patch replicates some of its
functionality of modify_user_hw_breakpoint() in
kernel/events/hw_breakpoint.c. modify_user_hw_breakpoint cannot be called
directly since perf_event_ctx_lock() is already held in _perf_ioctl().
Evidence: Experiments show that the baseline (not able to modify an already
created breakpoint) costs an order of magnitude (~10x) more than the
suggested optimization (having the ability to dynamically modifying a
configured breakpoint via ioctl). When the breakpoints typically do not
trap, the speedup due to the suggested optimization is ~10x; even when the
breakpoints always trap, the speedup is ~4x due to the suggested
optimization.
Testing: tests posted at
https://github.com/linux-contrib/perf_event_modify_bp demonstrate the
performance significance of this patch. Tests also check the functional
correctness of the patch.

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf-next 2017-12-18
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree.
The main changes are:
1) Allow arbitrary function calls from one BPF function to another BPF function.
As of today when writing BPF programs, __always_inline had to be used in
the BPF C programs for all functions, unnecessarily causing LLVM to inflate
code size. Handle this more naturally with support for BPF to BPF calls
such that this __always_inline restriction can be overcome. As a result,
it allows for better optimized code and finally enables to introduce core
BPF libraries in the future that can be reused out of different projects.
x86 and arm64 JIT support was added as well, from Alexei.
2) Add infrastructure for tagging functions as error injectable and allow for
BPF to return arbitrary error values when BPF is attached via kprobes on
those. This way of injecting errors generically eases testing and debugging
without having to recompile or restart the kernel. Tags for opting-in for
this facility are added with BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION(), from Josef.
3) For BPF offload via nfp JIT, add support for bpf_xdp_adjust_head() helper
call for XDP programs. First part of this work adds handling of BPF
capabilities included in the firmware, and the later patches add support
to the nfp verifier part and JIT as well as some small optimizations,
from Jakub.
4) The bpftool now also gets support for basic cgroup BPF operations such
as attaching, detaching and listing current BPF programs. As a requirement
for the attach part, bpftool can now also load object files through
'bpftool prog load'. This reuses libbpf which we have in the kernel tree
as well. bpftool-cgroup man page is added along with it, from Roman.
5) Back then commit e87c6bc3852b ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for
a single perf event") added support for attaching multiple BPF programs
to a single perf event. Given they are configured through perf's ioctl()
interface, the interface has been extended with a PERF_EVENT_IOC_QUERY_BPF
command in this work in order to return an array of one or multiple BPF
prog ids that are currently attached, from Yonghong.
6) Various minor fixes and cleanups to the bpftool's Makefile as well
as a new 'uninstall' and 'doc-uninstall' target for removing bpftool
itself or prior installed documentation related to it, from Quentin.
7) Add CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF=y to the BPF kernel selftest config file which is
required for the test_dev_cgroup test case to run, from Naresh.
8) Fix reporting of XDP prog_flags for nfp driver, from Jakub.
9) Fix libbpf's exit code from the Makefile when libelf was not found in
the system, also from Jakub.
