`make check` will run sparse on the perf code base. A frequent warning
is "warning: symbol '...' was not declared. Should it be static?" Go
through and make global definitions without declarations static.
In some cases it is deliberate due to dlsym accessing the symbol, this
change doesn't clean up the missing declarations for perf test suites.
Sometimes things can opportunistically be made const.
Making somethings static exposed unused functions warnings, so
restructuring of ifdefs was necessary for that.
These changes reduce the size of the perf binary by 568 bytes.
Committer notes:
Refreshed the patch, the original one fell thru the cracks, updated the
size reduction.
Remove the trace-event-scripting.c changes, break the build, noticed
with container builds and with sashiko:

Add the evsel from evsel__parse_sample into the struct
perf_sample. Sometimes we want to alter the evsel associated with a
sample, such as with off-cpu bpf-output events. In general the evsel
and perf_sample are passed as a pair, but this makes an altered evsel
something of a chore to keep checking for and setting up. Later
patches will remove passing an evsel with the perf_sample and switch
to just using the perf_sample's value.

In non-pipe/data mode the header has a 256-bit bitmap representing
whether a feature is enabled or not. In pipe mode features are written
out in perf_event__synthesize_features as PERF_RECORD_HEADER_FEATURE
events with a special zero sized marker for the last feature. If a new
feature is added the last feature marker event appears as that feature
from old pipe mode perf data. As the event is zero sized it will fail
to be processed and generally terminate perf.
Add a last_feat variable to the header that in non-pipe/data mode is
just HEADER_LAST_FEATURE. In pipe mode compute the last_feat by
handling zero sized feature events, assuming they are the marker and
updating last_feat accordingly. Potentially a feature event could be
zero sized and so still process the feature event, just ignore the
error if it fails.
As perf_event__process_feature can properly handle pipe mode data,
migrate users to it except for report that still wants to group events
and stop header printing with the last feature marker. Make
perf_event__process_feature non-fatal in the case of a newer feature
than this version of perf's HEADER_LAST_FEATURE, which was the
behavior all users wanted.

The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the
array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is
prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a
alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and
then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and
libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as
compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the
build.

Add support for parsing an optional layout parameter in the --symfs
command line option. The format is:
--symfs <directory[,layout]>
Where layout can be:
- 'hierarchy': matches full path (default)
- 'flat': only matches base name
When debugging symbol files from a copy of the filesystem (e.g., from a
container or remote machine), the debug files are often stored in a
flat directory structure with only filenames, not the full original
paths. In this case, using 'flat' layout allows perf to find debug
symbols by matching only the filename rather than the full path.
For example, given a binary path like:
/build/output/lib/foo.so
With 'perf report --symfs /debug/files,flat', perf will look for:
/debug/files/foo.so
Instead of:
/debug/files/build/output/lib/foo.so
This is particularly useful when:
- Extracting debug files from containers with different directory layouts
- Working with build systems that flatten directory structures

This has two issues:
- The description says no event is a single dash, but that is not what is printed.
- The b in brcntr is ambigious with the hex numbers in insns, which
breaks with --xed. It parses the b as another instruction byte and
merges the instruction with a missing b and no space:
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr --xed
...
00005618c6d683b5 jnz 0x5618c6d683bdr_cntr: # PRED 5 cycles [1396] 8.60 IPC
This patches fixes these two problems. It moves the brcntr output into
the "#" comment which also looks nicer and also fixes the no event case.
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr --xed
...

risk of breaking some existing parser, but since this is a obscure

This means that when specifying events, and those events correspond to

The metric format option isn't properly supported. This change
improves that by making the sample events update the counts of an
evsel, where the shadow metric code expects to read the values. To
support printing metrics, metrics need to be found. This is done on
the first attempt to print a metric. Every metric is parsed and then
the evsels in the metric's evlist compared to those in perf script
using the perf_event_attr type and config. If the metric matches then
it is added for printing. As an event in the perf script's evlist may
have >1 metric id, or different leader for aggregation, the first
metric matched will be displayed in those cases.
An example use is:
```
$ perf record -a -e '{instructions,cpu-cycles}:S' -a -- sleep 1
$ perf script -F period,metric
...
867817
metric: 0.30 insn per cycle

Capstone disassembly support was split between disasm.c and
print_insn.c. Move support out of these files into capstone.[ch] and
remove include capstone/capstone.h from those files. As disassembly
routines can fail, make failure the only option without
HAVE_LIBCAPSTONE_SUPPORT. For simplicity's sake, duplicate the
read_symbol utility function.
The intent with moving capstone support into a single file is that
dynamic support, using dlopen for libcapstone, can be added in later
patches. This can potentially always succeed or fail, so relying on
ifdefs isn't sufficient. Using dlopen is a useful option to minimize
the perf tools dependencies and potentially size.

By definition arch sample parsing and synthesis will inhibit certain
kinds of cross-platform record then analysis (report, script,
etc.). Remove arch_perf_parse_sample_weight and
arch_perf_synthesize_sample_weight replacing with a common
implementation. Combine perf_sample p_stage_cyc and retire_lat as
weight3 to capture the differing uses regardless of compiled for
architecture.

The session holds a perf_env pointer env. In UI code container_of is
used to turn the env to a session, but this assumes the session
header's env is in use. Rather than a dubious container_of, hold the
session in the evlist and derive the env from the session with
evsel__env, perf_session__env, etc.

The rblist of metric_event that then have a list of associated
metric_expr is moved out of the stat_config and into the evlist. This
is done as part of refactoring things for python, having the state
split in two places complicates that implementation. The evlist is
doing the harder work of enabling and disabling events, the metrics
are needed to compute a value and it doesn't seem unreasonable to hang
them from the evlist.

I have rebased on top of Arnaldo's patch here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Z2XCi3PgstSrV0SE@x1/
The original commit message:
"
perf script output may show different fields on different core PMU's
that exist on heterogeneous platforms. For example,
perf record -e "{cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/,cpu_core/event=0xcd,\
umask=0x01,ldlat=3,name=MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/}:upp"\
-c10000 -W -d -a -- sleep 1
perf script:
chromium-browse 46572 [002] 544966.882384: 10000 cpu_core/MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/: 7ffdf1391b0c 10268100142 \
|OP LOAD|LVL L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 5 7 0 7fad7c47425d [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.8000.3)
perf record -e cpu_atom/event=0xd0,umask=0x05,ldlat=3,\
name=MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/upp -c10000 -W -d -a -- sleep 1
perf script:
gnome-control-c 534224 [023] 544951.816227: 10000 cpu_atom/MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/: 7f0aaaa0aae0 [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.8000.3)
Some fields, such as data_src, are not included by default.
The cause is that while one PMU may be assigned a type such as
PERF_TYPE_RAW, other core PMU's are dynamically allocated at boot time.
If this value does not match an existing PERF_TYPE_X value,
output_type(perf_event_attr.type) will return OUTPUT_TYPE_OTHER.
Instead search for a core PMU with a matching perf_event_attr type
and, if one is found, return PERF_TYPE_RAW to match output of other
core PMU's.

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two
values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes
size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian
Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf
script --itrace=i0`:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/
Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero
initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed.
This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the
perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and
intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the
allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To
support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit
functions are created and added throughout the code base.

Right now every time we need to figure out the type of an evsel for
output purposes we do a quick sequence of ifs, but there are new cases
where there is a need to do more complex iterations over multiple data
structures, sso allow for caching this operation on a hole of 'struct
evsel'.
This should really be done on the evsel->priv area that 'perf script'
sets up, but more work is needed to make sure that it is allocated when
we need it, right now it is only used for conditionally, add some
comments so that we move this to that 'perf script' specific area when
the conditions are in place for that.

For example,

$ perf report --total-cycles
# Branch counter abbr list:

17.83% 291.1K 0.00% 1 |+ |+ |
The branch counter information (br_cntr_width and br_cntr_nr) in the
perf_env is retrieved from the CPU_PMU_CAPS. However, the CPU_PMU_CAPS
is not available on hybrid machines. Without the width information, the
number of occurrences of an event cannot be calculated.
For a hybrid machine, the caps information should be retrieved from the
PMU_CAPS, and stored in the perf_env->pmu_caps.
Add a perf_env__find_br_cntr_info() to return the correct branch counter
information from the corresponding fields.

While testing I couldn't s ee those "Branch counter" columns enabled by

<quote Kan Liang>
For a hybrid client, the "Branch Counter" feature is only supported
starting from the just released Lunar Lake. Perf falls back to only
"ANY" on your Raptor Lake.
The "The branch counter is not available" message is expected.

In some situations 'perf script -F +brstackinsn' sees a lot of "not
reaching sample" messages.
This happens when the last LBR block before the sample contains a branch
that is not in the LBR, and the instruction dumping stops.
$ perf record -b emacs -Q --batch '()'
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.396 MB perf.data (443 samples) ]
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn
...
00007f0ab2d171a4 insn: 41 0f 94 c0
00007f0ab2d171a8 insn: 83 fa 01
00007f0ab2d171ab insn: 74 d3 # PRED 6 cycles [313] 1.00 IPC
00007f0ab2d17180 insn: 45 84 c0
00007f0ab2d17183 insn: 74 28
... not reaching sample ...
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn | grep -c reach
136
$
This is a problem for further analysis that wants to see the full code
upto the sample.
There are two common cases where the message is bogus:
- The LBR only logs taken branches, but the branch might be a
conditional branch that is not taken (that is the most common case
actually)
- The LBR sampling uses a filter ignoring some branches, but the perf
script check checks for all branches.
This patch fixes these two conditions, by only checking for conditional
branches, as well as checking the perf_event_attr's branch filter
attributes.
For the test case above it fixes all the messages:
$ ./perf script -F +brstackinsn | grep -c reach
0
Note that there are still conditions when the message is hit --
sometimes there can be a unconditional branch that misses the LBR update
before the sample -- but they are much more rare now.

Use perf_tool__init() so that more uses of 'struct perf_tool' can be const
and not relying on perf_tool__fill_defaults().
