40efc872c6 perf jevents: Fix build when there are other json files in the tree
The unquoted glob *.json will expand to a real file if, for example,
there is any file in the Perf source ending in .json. This can happen
when using tools like Bear and clangd which generate a
compile_commands.json file. With the glob already expanded by the shell,
the find command will fail to wildcard any real json events files.

Fix it by wrapping the star in quotes so it's passed to find rather than
the shell.

This fixes the following build error (most of the diff output omitted):

  $ make V=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/perf_build_with_json

  TEST    /tmp/perf_build_with_json/pmu-events/empty-pmu-events.log

800201997a perf parse-events: Make X modifier more respectful of groups
Events with an X modifier were reordered within a group, for example
slots was made the leader in:
```
$ perf record -e '{cpu/mem-stores/ppu,cpu/slots/uX}' -- sleep 1
```

Fix by making `dont_regroup` evsels always use their index for
sorting. Make the cur_leader, when fixing the groups, be that of
`dont_regroup` evsel so that the `dont_regroup` evsel doesn't become a
leader.

On a tigerlake this patch corrects this and meets expectations in:
```
$ perf stat -e '{cpu/mem-stores/,cpu/slots/uX}' -a -- sleep 0.1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        83,458,652      cpu/mem-stores/
     2,720,854,880      cpu/slots/uX

       0.103780587 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat -e 'slots,slots:X' -a -- sleep 0.1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       732,042,247      slots                (48.96%)
       643,288,155      slots:X              (51.04%)

cd3466cd26 perf c2c: Add annotation support to perf c2c report
Perf c2c report currently specified the code address and source:line
information in the cacheline browser, while it is lack of annotation
support like perf report to directly show the disassembly code for
the particular symbol shared that same cacheline. This patches add
a key 'a' binding to the cacheline browser which reuse the annotation
browser to show the disassembly view for easier analysis of cacheline
contentions.

b8308511f6 perf stat bperf cgroup: Increase MAX_EVENTS from 32 to 1024
The MAX_EVENTS value ensured a counted loop presumably to satisfy the
BPF verifier. It is possible to go past 32 events when gathering
uncore events. Increase the amount to 1024 as that should provide some
amount of headroom.

4bebf7ff3e perf test: Switch cycles event to cpu-cycles
Without a PMU perf matches an event against any PMU with the
event. Unfortunately some PMU drivers advertise a "cycles" event which
is typically just a core event. As tests assume a core event, switch
to use "cpu-cycles" that avoids the overloaded "cycles" event on
troublesome PMUs and is so far not overloaded. Note, on x86 this
changes a legacy event into a sysfs one.

d47c65eea8 perf test parse-events: Remove cpu PMU requirement
In the event parse string, switch "cpu" to "default_core" and then
rewrite this to the first core PMU name prior to parsing. This enables
testing with a PMU on hybrid x86 and other systems that don't use
"cpu" for the core PMU name. The name "default_core" is already used
by jevents. Update test expectations to match.

b1c5efbfd9 perf parse-events: Remove hard coded legacy hardware and cache parsing
Now that legacy hardware and cache events are in json, having the
lexer match the specific event is no longer necessary and generic PMU
parsing can take place. Because of this remove the specific term
parsing, event adding, and passing of alternate_hw_config which was
now always PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX.

This mirrors a similar change for software events in commit 6e9fa4131a
("perf parse-events: Remove non-json software events").

With no hard coded legacy hardware or cache events the wild card, case
insensitivity, etc. is consistent for events. This does, however, mean
events like cycles will wild card against all PMUs. A change does the
same was originally posted and merged from:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240416061533.921723-10-irogers@google.com
and reverted by Linus in commit 4f1b067359 ("Revert "perf
parse-events: Prefer sysfs/JSON hardware events over legacy"") due to
his dislike for the cycles behavior on ARM. Earlier patches in this
series make perf record event opening failures non-fatal and hide the
cycles event's failure to open on ARM in perf record, so it is
expected the behavior will now be transparent in perf record. perf
stat with a cycles event will wildcard open the event on all PMUs. As
cycles is a "default event", the perf stat behavior for default events
was updated to only open them on core/software PMUs.

The change to support legacy events with PMUs was done to clean up
Intel's hybrid PMU implementation.  Having sysfs/json events with
increased priority to legacy was requested by Mark Rutland
<mark.rutland@arm.com> to fix Apple-M PMU issues wrt broken legacy
events on that PMU. It was requested that RISC-V be able to add events
to the perf tool json so the PMU driver didn't need to map legacy
events to config encodings:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240217005738.3744121-1-atishp@rivosinc.com/

A previous series of patches decreasing legacy hardware event
priorities was posted in:

0012e0fa22 perf jevents: Add legacy-hardware and legacy-cache json
The legacy-hardware.json is added containing hardware events similarly
to the software.json file. A difference is that for the software PMU
the name is known and matches sysfs. In the legacy-hardware.json no
Unit/PMU is specified for the events meaning default_core is used and
the events will appear for all core PMUs.

There are potentially 1216 legacy cache events, rather than list them
in a json file add a make_legacy_cache.py helper to generate them.

By using json for legacy hardware and cache events: descriptions of
the events can be added; events can be marked as deprecated, such as
those misleadingly named l2 (deprecated is also used to mark all
events that weren't previously displayed in perf list); and the name
lookup becomes case insensitive.

The C string encoding all the perf events and metrics is increased in
size by 123,499 bytes which will increase the perf binary size. Later
changes will remove hard coded event parsing for legacy hardware and
cache events, turning parsing overhead into a binary search during
event lookup.

That event descriptions are based off of those in perf_event_open man
page, credit to Vince Weaver <vincent.weaver@maine.edu>.

abcff00014 perf parse-events: Add terms for legacy hardware and cache config values
Add the PMU terms legacy-hardware-config and
legacy-cache-config. These terms are similar to the config term in
that their values are assigned to the perf_event_attr config
value. They differ in that the PMU type is switched to be either

84bae3af20 perf pmu: Don't eagerly parse event terms
When an event/alias is created for a PMU the terms are eagerly parsed
using parse_events_terms. For a command like perf stat or perf record,
the particular event/alias will be found, the terms parsed, the
terms cloned for use in the event parsing, and then the terms used to
configure the perf_event_attr. Events/aliases may be eagerly loaded,
such as from sysfs or in perf list, in which case the aliases terms
will be little or never used. To avoid redundant work, to avoid
cloning, and to reduce memory overhead, hold the terms for an event as
a string until they need handling as a term list. This may introduce
duplicate parsing if an event is repeated in a list, but this
situation is expected to be uncommon.

Measuring the number of instructions before and after with a sysfs
event and perf stat, there is a minor reduction in the number of
instructions executed by 0.3%.

4bb55de4ff perf jevents: Support copying the source json files to OUTPUT

ee27476fa3 perf record: Skip don't fail for events that don't open
Whilst for many tools it is an expected behavior that failure to open
a perf event is a failure, ARM decided to name PMU events the same as
legacy events and then failed to rename such events on a server uncore
SLC PMU. As perf's default behavior when no PMU is specified is to
open the event on all PMUs that advertise/"have" the event, this
yielded failures when trying to make the priority of legacy and
sysfs/json events uniform - something requested by RISC-V and ARM. A
legacy event user on ARM hardware may find their event opened on an
uncore PMU which for perf record will fail. Arnaldo suggested skipping
such events which this patch implements. Rather than have the skipping
conditional on running on ARM, the skipping is done on all
architectures as such a fundamental behavioral difference could lead
to problems with tools built/depending on perf.

An example of perf record failing to open events on x86 is:
```
$ perf record -e data_read,cycles,LLC-prefetch-read -a sleep 0.1
Error:

```

If all events fail to open then the perf record will fail:
```
$ perf record -e LLC-prefetch-read true
Error:
Failure to open event 'LLC-prefetch-read' on PMU 'cpu' which will be removed.
The LLC-prefetch-read event is not supported.
Error:
Failure to open any events for recording
```

As an evlist may have dummy events that open when all command line
events fail we ignore dummy events when detecting if at least some
events open. This still permits the dummy event on its own to be used
as a permission check:
```
$ perf record -e dummy true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.046 MB perf.data ]
```
but allows failure when a dummy event is implicilty inserted or when
there are insufficient permissions to open it:
```
$ perf record -e LLC-prefetch-read -a true
Error:
Failure to open event 'LLC-prefetch-read' on PMU 'cpu' which will be removed.
The LLC-prefetch-read event is not supported.
Error:
Failure to open any events for recording
```

As the first parsed event in an evlist is marked as tracking, removing
this event can remove tracking from the evlist, removing mmap events
and breaking symbolization. To avoid this, if a tracking event is
removed then the next event has tracking added.

The issue with legacy events is that on RISC-V they want the driver to
not have mappings from legacy to non-legacy config encodings for each
vendor/model due to size, complexity and difficulty to update. It was
reported that on ARM Apple-M? CPUs the legacy mapping in the driver
was broken and the sysfs/json events should always take precedent,
however, it isn't clear this is still the case. It is the case that
without working around this issue a legacy event like cycles without a
PMU can encode differently than when specified with a PMU - the
non-PMU version favoring legacy encodings, the PMU one avoiding legacy
encodings. Legacy events are also case sensitive while sysfs/json
events are not.

The patch removes events and then adjusts the idx value for each
evsel. This is done so that the dense xyarrays used for file
descriptors, etc. don't contain broken entries.

On ARM it could be common following this change to see a lot of
warnings for the cycles event due to many ARM PMUs advertising the
cycles event (ARM inconsistently have events bus_cycles and then
cycles implying CPU cycles, they also sometimes have a cpu_cycles
event). As cycles is a popular event, avoid potentially spamming users
with error messages on ARM when there are multiple cycles events in
the evlist, the error is still shown when verbose is enabled.

Prior versions without adding the tracking data and not warning for
cycles on ARM was:

event. Unfortunately some PMU drivers advertise a "cycles" event which
is typically just a core event. To make perf's behavior consistent,
just look up default events with their designated PMU types.

7c0135e4d7 perf perf_api_probe: Avoid scanning all PMUs, try software PMU first
Scan the software PMU first rather than last as it is the least likely
to fail the probe. Specifying the software PMU by name was enabled by
commit 9957d8c801 ("perf jevents: Add common software event
json"). For hardware events, add core PMU names when getting events to
probe so that not all PMUs are scanned. For example, when legacy
events support wildcards and for the event "cycles:u" on x86, we want
to only scan the "cpu" PMU and not all uncore PMUs for the event too.

2a67955de1 perf bpf_counter: Fix opening of "any"(-1) CPU events
The bperf BPF counter code doesn't handle "any"(-1) CPU events, always
wanting to aggregate a count against a CPU, which avoids the need for
atomics so let's not change that. Force evsels used for BPF counters
to require a CPU when not in system-wide mode so that the "any"(-1)
value isn't used during map propagation and evsel's CPU map matches
that of the PMU.

12690401a4 perf stat: Additional verbose details for <not supported> events
If an event shows as "<not supported>" in perf stat output, in verbose
mode add the strerror output to help diagnose the issue.

Consider:
```
$ perf stat -e cycles,data_read,instructions true

 Performance counter stats for 'true':

           357,457      cycles:u
   <not supported> MiB  data_read:u
           156,182      instructions:u                   #    0.44  insn per cycle

       0.001250315 seconds time elapsed

       0.001283000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys
```

To understand why the data_read uncore event failed you can run it
again with -v option.  This change adds detailed message about the
error and suggestion how to fix it potentially.

  Warning:
  data_read:u event is not supported by the kernel.
  Invalid event (data_read:u) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

67029a49db tracing fixes for v6.18:
The previous fix to trace_marker required updating trace_marker_raw
 as well. The difference between trace_marker_raw from trace_marker
 is that the raw version is for applications to write binary structures
 directly into the ring buffer instead of writing ASCII strings.
 This is for applications that will read the raw data from the ring
 buffer and get the data structures directly. It's a bit quicker than
 using the ASCII version.
 
 Unfortunately, it appears that our test suite has several tests that
 test writes to the trace_marker file, but lacks any tests to the
 trace_marker_raw file (this needs to be remedied). Two issues came
 about the update to the trace_marker_raw file that syzbot found:
 
 - Fix tracing_mark_raw_write() to use per CPU buffer
 
   The fix to use the per CPU buffer to copy from user space was needed for
   both the trace_maker and trace_maker_raw file.
 
   The fix for reading from user space into per CPU buffers properly fixed
   the trace_marker write function, but the trace_marker_raw file wasn't
   fixed properly. The user space data was correctly written into the per CPU
   buffer, but the code that wrote into the ring buffer still used the user
   space pointer and not the per CPU buffer that had the user space data
   already written.
 
 - Stop the fortify string warning from writing into trace_marker_raw
 
   After converting the copy_from_user_nofault() into a memcpy(), another
   issue appeared. As writes to the trace_marker_raw expects binary data, the
   first entry is a 4 byte identifier. The entry structure is defined as:
 
   struct {
 	struct trace_entry ent;
 	int id;
 	char buf[];
   };
 
   The size of this structure is reserved on the ring buffer with:
 
     size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt;
 
   Then it is copied from the buffer into the ring buffer with:
 
     memcpy(&entry->id, buf, cnt);
 
   This use to be a copy_from_user_nofault(), but now converting it to
   a memcpy() triggers the fortify-string code, and causes a warning.
 
   The allocated space is actually more than what is copied, as the cnt
   used also includes the entry->id portion. Allocating sizeof(*entry)
   plus cnt is actually allocating 4 bytes more than what is needed.
 
   Change the size function to:
 
     size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
 
   And update the memcpy() to unsafe_memcpy().

Merge tag 'x86_core_for_v6.18_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull more x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Remove a bunch of asm implementing condition flags testing in KVM's
   emulator in favor of int3_emulate_jcc() which is written in C

 - Replace KVM fastops with C-based stubs which avoids problems with the
   fastop infra related to latter not adhering to the C ABI due to their
   special calling convention and, more importantly, bypassing compiler
   control-flow integrity checking because they're written in asm

 - Remove wrongly used static branches and other ugliness accumulated
   over time in hyperv's hypercall implementation with a proper static
   function call to the correct hypervisor call variant

 - Add some fixes and modifications to allow running FRED-enabled
   kernels in KVM even on non-FRED hardware

 - Add kCFI improvements like validating indirect calls and prepare for
   enabling kCFI with GCC. Add cmdline params documentation and other
   code cleanups

 - Use the single-byte 0xd6 insn as the official #UD single-byte
   undefined opcode instruction as agreed upon by both x86 vendors

 - Other smaller cleanups and touchups all over the place
