92ea788d2a perf inject: Add --convert-callchain option
There are applications not built with frame pointers, so DWARF is needed
to get the stack traces.

`perf record --call-graph dwarf` saves the stack and register data for
each sample to get the stacktrace offline.  But sometimes this data may
have sensitive information and we don't want to keep them in the file.

This new 'perf inject --convert-callchain' option creates the callchains
and discards the stack and register after that.

This saves storage space and processing time for the new data file.

Of course, users should remove the original data file to not keep
sensitive data around.  :)

The down side is that it cannot handle inlined callchain entries as they
all have the same IPs.

Maybe we can add an option to 'perf report' to look up inlined functions
using DWARF - IIUC it doesn't require stack and register data.

This is an example.

  $ perf record --call-graph dwarf -- perf test -w noploop

  $ perf report --stdio --no-children --percent-limit=0 > output-prev

  $ perf inject -i perf.data --convert-callchain -o perf.data.out

  $ perf report --stdio --no-children --percent-limit=0 -i perf.data.out > output-next

  $ diff -u output-prev output-next
  ...

28cb835f76 perf machine: Add inline information to frame pointer and LBR callchains
Use append_inlines() in frame pointer and LBR cases.

Update the addr2line test to also test frame pointers.

LBR is also updated but inaccuracy in the branched to IP means the
inline information is missing in the leaf.

Leave LBR callchains untested for now.

6b2658b3f3 perf unwind-libdw: Don't discard loaded ELF/DWARF after every unwind
The unwind-libdw dwfl has ELF binaries associated with mmap
addresses. Experimenting with using the per dso dwfl it is required to
alter the address to be 0 based variant. Unfortunately libdwfl doesn't
allow a single unwind and then an update to the return address to be 0
based as there are assertions that registers aren't updated once an
unwind has started, etc.

As removing the dwfl didn't prove possible, an alternative is to just
not discard the dwfl when the unwind ends. The dwfl is valid for a
process unless a dso is loaded at the same address as a previous
one. So keep the dwfl with the maps, invalidate it if a map is removed
(in case a new map replaces it) and recycle the dwfl in the unwinding
code. A wrinkly in the implementation of this is that the attached
thread argument is remembered by the dwfl and so it needs to be a
pointer to memory that also persists with the dwfl (struct
dwfl_ui_thread_info in the code).

Recording 10 seconds of system wide data with --call-graph=dwarf and
then processing with perf report shows a total runtime improvement
from 41.583s to 2.279s (an 18x speedup).

2e9191573a perf build: Remove NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND option
Libdw unwinding support is present for every architecture that has a
perf_regs.h - perf registers are needed for the initial frame to
unwind.

Elfutils also supports SPARC, ARC and m68k but there is no support in
the Linux kernel for perf registers on these architectures.

As the perf supported DWARF unwinding architectures are a subset of the
elfutils ones, remove NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND as there isn't a case of
elfutils lacking the support need for perf.

406b51a9a5 perf dwarf-regs: Add MIPS perf to DWARF register number mapping functions

MIPS but there is a perf_regs.h and a libdw implementation.

Note, the link register was being coped to DWARF register 65 that the
SysV ABI spec claims is FPSCR. It is corrected here to 108, but this is
unlikely to matter as FPSCR has little to no impact on unwinding.

d3ab52c31e perf dwarf-regs: Add get_dwarf_regnum_for_perf_regnum() and use for x86 unwinding
Add a utility to map a perf register number to a DWARF register number
for a particular ELF machine type.

Create a generic unwind-libdw initial register initialization routine
that uses this function and thereby avoids arch specific
initialization. The unwind-libdw code does:

1) compute the maximum DWARF register from the set of sampled user registers,
2) allocates a set of DWARF registers,
3) copies the sample registers into the appropriate DWARF registers.

This generic solution is initially implemented for use with x86 as
only get_dwarf_regnum_for_perf_regnum() support for x86 is currently present.

c310400859 perf dwarf-regs: Clean up x86 dwarf_regnum code
The i386 and x86-64 register numbers differ on x86, but previously x86
was a single arch string and so this couldn't be handled. The
transition to using ELF EM_* values means we can translate x86
registers correctly for either the x86-64 dwarf register mappings
(from the System V ABI) or i386 register mappings. Correct the mappings.

b7a2b011e9 perf powerpc: Unify the skip-callchain-idx libdw with that for addr2line
Rather than have 2 Dwfl unify the Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx with that
is used by libdw__addr2line().

Rename that variable in 'struct dso' from 'a2l_libdw' to just 'libdw' as
it is now used in more than addr2line.

The Dwfl in skip-callchain-idx uses a map address when being read with
dwfl_report_elf (rather than dwfl_report_offline that addr2line
uses).

skip-callchain-idx is wrong as the map address can vary between
processes because of ASLR, ie it should need a different Dwfl per
process.

In the code after this patch the base address becomes 0 and the mapped
PC is used with the dwfl functions.

This should increase the accuracy of skip-callchain-idx, but the impact
has only been build tested.

e62fae9d9e perf unwind-libdw: Fix a cross-arch unwinding bug
The set_initial_registers field of Dwfl_Thread_Callbacks needs to be set
according to the arch of the stack samples being analyzed, not the arch
that perf itself is built for.

Currently perf fails to unwind stack samples collected from archs
different from that of the host perf is running on.

This patch moves the arch-specific implementations of set_initial_registers
from tools/perf/arch to tools/perf/utli/unwind-libdw-arch, similar to the
way the perf-regs-arch folder contains arch-specific functions related to
registers, and chooses the implementation based on the arch of the data
being processed.

3f620f2657 perf cs-etm: Don't use hard coded config bits when setting up TRCCONFIGR
Perf only looks at attr.config when determining what was programmed into
TRCCONFIGR. These bits could theoretically be in any of the config
fields. Use the evsel__get_config_val() helper so it's agnostic to
which config field they are in.

The kernel will also stop publishing the TRCCONFIGR register bits in a
header [1] so preempt that by defining them here.

4ffd443f5d perf cs-etm: Don't use hard coded config bits when setting up ETMCR
Perf only looks at attr.config when determining what was programmed into
ETMCR. These bits could theoretically be in any of the config fields.
Add a generic helper to find the value of any named format field in any
config field and then use it to get the attributes relevant to ETMCR.

The kernel will also stop publishing the ETMCR register bits in a header
[1] so preempt that by defining them here.

Move field_prep() to util.h so we can define it along side field_get().
Unfortunately FIELD_PREP() and FIELD_GET() from the kernel can't be used
as they require the mask to be a compile time constant.

6f87719b8a perf parse-events: Always track user config changes
Requiring the 'pmu->perf_event_attr_init_default' callback to be set to
track user changes is a bit of a trap to fall in. It's hard to see that
this is required when depending on the user change tracking.

It's possible to want all 0 defaults so not set it, but at the same time
still do some programmatic setting of configs with
evsel__set_config_if_unset(). Also if a PMU reverts to 0 defaults and
deletes its existing callback, it will silently break existing uses of
evsel__set_config_if_unset().

One way to fix this would be to assert in evsel__set_config_if_unset()
if the changes weren't tracked, but that would be a possibly untested
runtime failure. Instead, always track it as it's harmless and
simplifies testing too.

87775abac8 perf evsel: apply evsel__set_config_if_unset() to all config fields
Misleadingly, evsel__set_config_if_unset() only works with the config
field and not config1, config2, etc. This is fine at the moment because
all users of it happen to operate on bits that are in that config field.
Fix it before there are any new users of the function which operate on
bits in different config fields.

In theory it's also possible for a driver to move an existing bit to
another config field and this fixes that scenario too, although this
hasn't happened yet either.

159ca97cd9 perf parse-events: Refactor get_config_terms() to remove macros
The ADD_CONFIG_TERM() macros build the __type argument out of a partial
EVSEL__CONFIG_TERM_x enum name. This means that they can't be called
from a function where __type is a variable and it's also impossible to
grep the codebase to find usages of these enums as they're never typed
in full.

Fix this by removing the macros and replacing them with an
add_config_term() function. It seems the main reason these existed in
the first place was to avoid type punning and to write to a specific
field in the union, but the same thing can be achieved with a single
write to a u64 'val' field.

Running the Perf tests with "-fsanitize=undefined -fno-sanitize-recover"
results in no new issues as a result of this change.

6e052cfe47 perf tools: Dump callchain context marker names
These are hard to interpret in the raw output because they are printed
as hex but are defined in perf_event.h as decimal. Make it much easier
to read the raw callchains by just printing their names.

For example:

  $ perf report -D

  1798195372321 0x4638 [0xb0]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4002): 44922/44922: 0x7c8046dd3400 period: 120218 addr: 0
  ... FP chain: nr:12
  .....  0: fffffffffffffe00 (PERF_CONTEXT_USER)
  .....  1: 00007c8046dd3400
  .....  2: 00007c8046db86d3

a66f6242fb perf vendor events arm64: Remove uncountable events
These events are never countable by the PMU and are only intended to
be used as external inputs to trace. Therefore showing them in 'perf
list' is misleading so remove them.

The generator script doesn't emit these events when used with the new
telemetry-solution input files [1].

'perf list' should only show countable events because there are events
that are sometimes implemented, sometimes countable and sometimes not,
for example TRB_TRIG. If we always include any implemented events
whether they are countable or not then it's not possible to tell whether
they are usable in perf without going to the docs, defeating the point
of 'perf list'.

It's also not useful yet to display implemented events that are not
countable (for help in using trace rather than perf stat), because
PMU_OVFS and PMU_HOVFS are practically always implemented and TRB_TRIG
is always implemented when there is TRBE.

d1f9dc6723 perf Documentation: Correct branch stack sampling call-stack option
The correct call-stack option for branch stack sampling should be "stack"
instead of "call_stack". Correct it.

$perf record -e instructions -j call_stack -- sleep 1
unknown branch filter call_stack, check man page

 Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
    or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

    -j, --branch-filter <branch filter mask>
                          branch stack filter modes

Fixes: 955f6def55 ("perf record: Add remaining branch filters: "no_cycles", "no_flags" & "hw_index"")

84010f9bcf perf test: Do not skip when some metric-group tests succeed
I think the return value of SKIP (2) should be used when it skipped the
entire test suite rather than a few of them.  While the FAIL should be
reserved if any of test failed.
