ASan reported a memory leak caused by info_linear not being deallocated.
The info_linear was allocated during in perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog().
This patch adds the corresponding free() when bpf_prog_info_node
is freed in perf_env__purge_bpf().

If user gave an event name explicitly, it should be displayed in the
output as is. But with --no-merge option it adds a pmu name at the
end so might confuse users.
Actually this is true for hybrid pmus, I think we should do the same
for others.

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.

Support 'perf mem record' for hybrid platform. On hybrid platform,
such as Alderlake, when executing 'perf mem record', it actually calls:
record -e {cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/,cpu_core/mem-loads,ldlat=30/}:P
-e cpu_atom/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P
-e cpu_core/mem-stores/P

Check if the mem_events ('mem-loads' and 'mem-stores') exist
in the sysfs path.
For Alderlake, the hybrid cpu pmu are "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom".
Check the existing of following paths:
/sys/devices/cpu_atom/events/mem-loads
/sys/devices/cpu_atom/events/mem-stores
/sys/devices/cpu_core/events/mem-loads
/sys/devices/cpu_core/events/mem-stores
If the patch exists, the mem_event is supported.

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.

I found that checking cgroup sampling support using the missing features
doesn't work on old kernels. Because it added both attr.cgroup bit and
PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit, it needs to check whichever comes first (usually
the actual event, not dummy).
But it only checks the attr.cgroup bit which is set only in the dummy
event so cannot detect failtures due the sample bits. Also we don't
ignore the missing feature and retry, it'd be better checking it with
the API probing logic.
Committer notes:
Extracted the minimal part to check using the new cgroup API probe
routine, the part that removes the cgroup member can be left for further
discussion.

If we just check whether the variable can be converted, 'tvar' should be
a null pointer. However, the null pointer check is missing in the
'Constant value' execution path.
The following cases can trigger this problem:
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
int a;
const int b = 1;
asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
printf("a: %d\n", a);
}
$ gcc test.c -o test -O -g
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -L "main"
<main@/home/lhf/test.c:0>
0 void main(void)
{
2 int a;
const int b = 1;
asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
6 printf("a: %d\n", a);
}
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
Segmentation fault
The check on 'tvar' is added. If 'tavr' is a null pointer, we return 0
to indicate that the variable can be converted. Now, we can successfully
show the variables that can be accessed.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
Available variables at main:6
@<main+13>
char* __fmt
int a
int b
However, the variable 'b' cannot be tracked.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
Failed to find the location of the 'b' variable at this address.
Perhaps it has been optimized out.
Use -V with the --range option to show 'b' location range.
Error: Failed to add events.
This is because __die_find_variable_cb() did not successfully match
variable 'b', which has the DW_AT_const_value attribute instead of
DW_AT_location. We added support for DW_AT_const_value in
__die_find_variable_cb(). With this modification, we can successfully
track the variable 'b'.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
p:probe_test/main_L6 /home/lhf/test:0x1156 b=\1:s32

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.
Remove that comment.

It counts how often cgroups are changed actually during the context
switches.

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
11,267 context-switches
10,950 cgroup-switches

Committer notes:
The kernel patches landed in v5.13, but this entry wasn't filled in
perf's parse-events tables, which was leading to a segfault when running
'perf list' on a kernel with that feature, as reported by Thomas
Richter.
Also removed the part touching tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h as
it was updated in the usual sync with the kernel UAPI headers, in a
previous, already upstream, patch.

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;
}

gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o 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:

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

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.

VM Time Correlation means determining if each TSC packet belongs to a VM
Guest or the Host. When the trace is "in context" that is indicated by
the NR flag in the PIP packet. However, when tracing kernel-only,
userspace only, or using address filters, the trace can be "out of context"
in which case timing packets are produced but not PIP packets.
Nevertheless, it is very unlikely the VM Guest timestamps will be in
the same range as the Host timestamps. Host time ranges are established
by a starting side-band event timestamp, and subsequently by the buffer
timestamp, written when the buffer is copied to the perf.data file.
This patch supports updating the VM Guest timestamp packets, assuming an
unchanging (during perf record) VMX TSC Offset and no VMX TSC scaling.
Furthermore, it is possible to determine what the VMX TSC Offset is,
although not necessarily at the start. The dry-run option lets that
information be determined so that the user can pass it to a subsequent
run. For more detail, refer to the example in the Intel PT documentation
in a subsequent patch.
VM Time Correlation is also performed on the TSC value in PEBs-via-PT
records.
