tuple_set_u64() produces a signed value instead of an unsigned value.
That works for database export but not other cases. Rename to
tuple_set_d64() for database export and fix tuple_set_u64().

For per-cpu mmap, it should enable timestamp tracing for Arm SPE; this
is helpful for samples correlation.
To automatically enable the timestamp, a helper arm_spe_set_timestamp()
is introduced for setting "ts_enable" format bit.

The dummy event is mainly used for mmap, the TIME sample is only needed
for per-cpu case so that the perf tool can rely on the correct timing
for parsing symbols. And the CPU sample is useless for mmap.
The BRANCH_STACK sample bit will be always reset for the dummy event in
the function evsel__config(), so don't need to repeatedly reset it for
Arm SPE specific.
So this patch only enables TIME sample for per-cpu mmap.

Now it's hard code to set sample flags for CPU, TIME and TID for SPE
event, which is pointless.
The CPU is useful for sampling only for per-mmap case, it is used to
indicate the AUX trace is associated to which CPU.
The TIME sample is not needed for AUX event, since the time for AUX
event is not really used and this time is a different thing from the
timestamp in Arm SPE trace, the timestamp tracing which is controlled
by Arm SPE's config bit.
The TID sample is not useful for AUX event.
This patch corrects the sample flags for SPE event, it only set CPU
sample bit for per-cpu mmap case.

Deprecation warnings are useful only for the developer, not an end user.
Display warnings only when requested using the python -W option. This
stops the display of warnings like:

an integer is required (got type PySide2.QtCore.Qt.AlignmentFlag).
Implicit conversion to integers using __int__ is deprecated, and
may be removed in a future version of Python.
err = app.exec_()
Since the warning can be fixed only in PySide2, we must wait for it to
be finally fixed there.

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;
}
Compile with -mrtm i.e.

When adding support for power events, some handling of FUP packets was
unified. That resulted in breaking reporting of TSX aborts, by not
considering the associated TIP packet. Fix that.
Example:
A machine 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;
}
Compile with -mrtm i.e.
gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort

perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./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:
failed to parse event {stereolab} : event not found
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.

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

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.

AUX area data is not processed by 'perf record' and consequently the
--timestamp-boundary option may result in no values for "time of first
sample" and "time of last sample". However there are non-sample events
that can be used instead, namely 'itrace_start' and 'aux'.
'itrace_start' is issued before tracing starts, and 'aux' is issued
every time data is ready.
Implement tool callbacks for those two for 'perf record', to update the
timestamp boundary.
Example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u --timestamp-boundary uname
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script --header-only | grep "time of"
# time of first sample : 4574.835541
# time of last sample : 4574.835907

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.

Even when VMX TSC Offset is not changing (during perf record), different
virtual machines can have different TSC Offsets. There is a Virtual Machine
Control Structure (VMCS) for each virtual CPU, the address of which is
reported to Intel PT in the VMCS packet. We do not know which VMCS belongs
to which virtual machine, so use a tree to keep track of VMCS information.
Then the decoder will be able to use the current VMCS value to look up the
current TSC Offset.
