29132d1696 perf list: Don't write to const memory
Something now detected on fedora 44, where strchr() returns const if it
is passed a const pointer:

  util/print-events.c: In function 'print_sdt_events':
  util/print-events.c:89:29: error: initialization discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
     89 |                 char *bid = strchr(sdt_name->s, '@');
        |                             ^~~~~~

Fix it by using strchrnul() + strncmp() instead of temporarily scrubbing
it with '\0'.

2c850606a4 perf trace: Deal with compiler const checks
The strchr() function these days return const/non-const based on the arg
it receives, and sometimes we need to use casts when we're dealing with
variables that are used in code that needs to safely change the returned
value and sometimes not (as it points to really const areas).

Tweak one such case.

a70493e2bb perf cs-etm: Fix decoding for sparse CPU maps
The ETM decoder incorrectly assumed that auxtrace queue indices were
equivalent to CPU number. This assumption is used for inserting records
into the queue, and for fetching queues when given a CPU number. This
assumption held when Perf always opened a dummy event on every CPU, even
if the user provided a subset of CPUs on the commandline, resulting in
the indices aligning.

For example:

  # event : name = cs_etm//u, , id = { 2451, 2452 }, type = 11 (cs_etm), size = 136, config = 0x4010, { sample_period, samp>
  # event : name = dummy:u, , id = { 2453, 2454, 2455, 2456 }, type = 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE), size = 136, config = 0x9 (PER>

  0 0 0x200 [0xd0]: PERF_RECORD_ID_INDEX nr: 6
  ... id: 2451  idx: 2  cpu: 2  tid: -1
  ... id: 2452  idx: 3  cpu: 3  tid: -1
  ... id: 2453  idx: 0  cpu: 0  tid: -1
  ... id: 2454  idx: 1  cpu: 1  tid: -1
  ... id: 2455  idx: 2  cpu: 2  tid: -1
  ... id: 2456  idx: 3  cpu: 3  tid: -1

Since commit 811082e4b6 ("perf parse-events: Support user CPUs mixed
with threads/processes") the dummy event no longer behaves in this way,
making the ETM event indices start from 0 on the first CPU recorded
regardless of its ID:

  # event : name = cs_etm//u, , id = { 771, 772 }, type = 11 (cs_etm), size = 144, config = 0x4010, { sample_period, sample>
  # event : name = dummy:u, , id = { 773, 774 }, type = 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE), size = 144, config = 0x9 (PERF_COUNT_SW_DUM>

  0 0 0x200 [0x90]: PERF_RECORD_ID_INDEX nr: 4

  ... id: 773  idx: 0  cpu: 2  tid: -1
  ... id: 774  idx: 1  cpu: 3  tid: -1

This causes the following segfault when decoding:

  $ perf record -e cs_etm//u -C 2,3 -- true
  $ perf report

Fix it by inserting into the queues based on CPU number, rather than

9bb93278c3 perf tools: Always uniquify event names
evlist__uniquify_evsel_names() only gets called in __parse_events() if
verbose is > 0. This means that the auto added "slots" events stay as
"slots" rather than being expanded to "cpu_core/slots/" unless Perf is
run in verbose mode. This is invisible to users when running Perf stat
because evlist__print_counters() always calls it regardless of verbose
mode before displaying.

The only thing this seems to affect is the test "Parsing of all PMU
events from sysfs" which fails when not run in verbose mode.
test__checkevent_pmu_events() always expects event names to be prefixed
with the pmu name, but this only happens for "slots" events after
evlist__uniquify_evsel_names() is called.

One fix could be to relax the test to accept the non prefixed name in
normal mode. But seeing as Perf stat uniquifies unconditionally, make
parse_events() do the same.

This fixes the following test failure:

  $ perf test "Parsing of all PMU events from sysfs"
  5.2: Parsing of all PMU events from sysfs                    : FAILED!

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

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.

Note, the link register was being coped to DWARF register 65 that the

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.

1672f3707a perf dwarf-regs: Add util/dwarf-regs-arch for consistency with perf-regs
perf_regs.h has cross architecture functions for operating with the
differing perf register constants. dwarf-regs.h is similar but for
cross architecture dwarf notions of registers.

For consistency move the arch parts of dwarf-regs out of util and into
its own directory.

a457ef08a7 perf perf_regs: Switch from arch string to int e_machine
The arch string requires multiple strcmp to identify things like the
IP and SP.

Switch to passing in an e_machine that in the bulk of cases is computed
using a current thread load.

The e_machine also allows identification of 32-bit vs 64-bit processes.

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.

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.

34b4cfbe5c perf evsel: Add a helper to get the value of a config field
This will be used by aux PMUs to read an already written value for
configuring their events and for also testing.

Its helper perf_pmu__format_unpack() does the opposite of the existing
pmu_format_value() so rename that one to perf_pmu__format_pack() so it's
clear how they are related.

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.

a2441cf3a5 perf parse-events: Track all user changed config bits
Currently we only track which bits were set by the user in attr->config.
But all configN fields should be treated equally as they can all have
default and user overridden values.

Track them all by making get_config_chgs() generic and calling it once
for each config value.

5b5e01304f perf evsel: Support sparse fields in evsel__set_config_if_unset()
Sparse config fields are technically supported although currently
unused. field_prep() only works for contiguous bitfields so replace it
with pmu_format_value().

pmu_format_value() also takes a bitmap rather than a u64 so replace
'u64 bits' with format->bits.
