The perf_cpu_map__merge() function has two arguments, 'orig' and
'other'. The function definition might cause confusion as it could give
the impression that the CPU maps in the two arguments are copied into a
new allocated structure, which is then returned as the result.
The purpose of the function is to merge the CPU map 'other' into the CPU
map 'orig'. This commit changes the 'orig' argument to a pointer to
pointer, so the new result will be updated into 'orig'.
The return value is changed to an int type, as an error number or 0 for
success.
Update callers and tests for the new function definition.

This occurs because, if no entry exists in mem_lvlnum, perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf

Add entries for PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_L2_MHB and PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_MSC to mem_lvlnum,

The p-core mem events are missed when launching 'perf mem record' on ADL

A variable 'record' in the 'struct perf_mem_event' is to indicate
whether a mem event in a mem_events[] should be recorded. The current
code only configure the variable for the first eligible PMU.
It's good enough for a non-hybrid machine or a hybrid machine which has
the same mem_events[].
However, if a different mem_events[] is used for different PMUs on a
hybrid machine, e.g., ADL or RPL, the 'record' for the second PMU never
get a chance to be set.
The mem_events[] of the second PMU are always ignored.
'perf mem' doesn't support the per-PMU configuration now. A per-PMU
mem_events[] 'record' variable doesn't make sense. Make it global.
That could also avoid searching for the per-PMU mem_events[] via
perf_pmu__mem_events_ptr every time.

The current perf_pmu__mem_events_init() only checks the availability of
the mem_events for the first eligible PMU. It works for non-hybrid
machines and hybrid machines that have the same mem_events.
However, it may bring issues if a hybrid machine has a different
mem_events on different PMU, e.g., Alder Lake and Raptor Lake. A
mem-loads-aux event is only required for the p-core. The mem_events on
both e-core and p-core should be checked and marked.
The issue was not found, because it's hidden by another bug, which only
records the mem-events for the e-core. The wrong check for the p-core
events didn't yell.

Interpretation of 'union perf_mem_data_src' by perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf()
is non-intuitive. For ex, it ignores 'mem_lvl' when 'mem_hops' is set
but considers it otherwise. It prints both 'mem_lvl_num' and 'mem_lvl'
when 'mem_hops' is not set.
Refactor this function such that it behaves more intuitively: Use new
API 'mem_lvl_num'|'mem_remote'|'mem_hops' if 'mem_lvl_num' contains
value other than PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_NA. Otherwise, fallback to old API
'mem_lvl'. Since new API has no way to indicate MISS, use it from old
api, otherwise don't club old and new APIs while parsing as well as
printing.

Going forward, future generation systems can have more hierarchy
within the node/package level but currently we don't have any data source
encoding field in perf, which can be used to represent this level of data.
Add a new field called 'mem_hops' in the perf_mem_data_src structure
which can be used to represent intra-node/package or inter-node/off-package
details. This field is of size 3 bits where PERF_MEM_HOPS_{NA, 0..6} value
can be used to present different hop levels data.
Also add corresponding macros to define mem_hop field values
and shift value.
Currently we define macro for HOPS_0 which corresponds
to data coming from another core but same node.
Add functionality to represent mem_hop field data in
perf_mem__lvl_scnprintf function with the help of added string
array called mem_hops.
For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache:
L2 - local L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0 - remote core, same node L2
Since with the addition of HOPS field, now remote can be used to
denote cache access from the same node but different core, a check
is added in the c2c_decode_stats function to set mrem only when HOPS
is zero along with set remote field.

The perf_mem_events__name() can generate the mem-load event name.
It uses a variable 'mem_loads_name__init' to avoid generating the
event name every time (because perf_pmu__scan takes some time).
The perf_mem_events__name() assumes the pmu is "cpu" but it's not
correct for hybrid platform. For Alderlake, the pmu is "cpu_core" or
"cpu_atom"
Introduce a new parameter 'pmu_name' in perf_mem_events__name
to let the caller specify a pmu name.
Considering such event name is x86 specific, so move
perf_mem_events[] to arch/x86/util/mem-events.c.
We still keep the variable 'mem_loads_name__init' but it's only
used when pmu_name is NULL (compatible for original behavior). When
pmu_name is not NULL (e.g. "cpu_core"), this patch doesn't have
optimization. That can be implemented in follow up patch.

On the Intel Sapphire Rapids server, an auxiliary event has to be
enabled simultaneously with the load latency event to retrieve complete
Memory Info.
Add X86 specific perf_mem_events__name() to handle the auxiliary event.
- Users are only interested in the samples of the mem-loads event.
Sample read the auxiliary event.
- The auxiliary event must be in front of the load latency event in a
group. Assume the second event to sample if the auxiliary event is the
leader.
- Add a weak is_mem_loads_aux_event() to check the auxiliary event for
X86. For other ARCHs, it always return false.
Parse the unique event name, mem-loads-aux, for the auxiliary event.
Committer notes:
According to 61b985e3e7 ("perf/x86/intel: Add perf core PMU
support for Sapphire Rapids"), ENODATA is only returned by
sys_perf_event_open() when used with these auxiliary events, with this
in evsel__open_strerror():
case ENODATA:
return scnprintf(msg, size, "Cannot collect data source with the load latency event alone. "
"Please add an auxiliary event in front of the load latency event.");
This is Ok at this point in time, but fragile long term, I pointed this
out in the e-mail thread, requesting a follow up patch to check if
ENODATA is really for this specific case.
Fixed up sizeof(MEM_LOADS_AUX_NAME) bug pointed out by Namhyung.

On the architectures with perf memory profiling, two types of hardware
events have been supported: load and store; if want to profile memory
for both load and store operations, the tool will use these two events
at the same time, the usage is:
# perf mem record -t load,store -- uname
But this cannot be applied for AUX tracing event, the same PMU event can
be used to only trace memory load, or only memory store, or trace for
both memory load and store.
This patch introduces a new event PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE, which is
used to support the event which can record both memory load and store
operations.
When user specifies memory operation type as 'load,store', or doesn't
set type so use 'load,store' as default, if the arch supports the event
PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE, the tool will convert the required
operations to this single event; otherwise, if the arch doesn't support
PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD_STORE, the tool rolls back to enable both events
PERF_MEM_EVENTS__LOAD and PERF_MEM_EVENTS__STORE, which keeps the same
behaviour with before.

Different architectures might use different event or different event
parameters for memory profiling, this patch introduces a weak
perf_mem_events__ptr() function which allows to return back a
architecture specific memory event.
Since the variable 'perf_mem_events' can be only accessed by the
perf_mem_events__ptr() function, mark the variable as 'static', this
allows the architectures to define its own memory event array.

The perf tool searches a memory event name under the folder
'/sys/devices/cpu/events/', this leads to the limitation for the
selection of a memory profiling event which must be under this folder.
Thus it's impossible to use any other event as memory event which is not
under this specific folder, e.g. Arm SPE hardware event is not located
in '/sys/devices/cpu/events/' so it cannot be enabled for memory
profiling.
This patch changes to search folder from '/sys/devices/cpu/events/' to
'/sys/devices', so it give flexibility to find events which can be used
for memory profiling.

So that we pass that substructure around and with it consolidate lots of
functions that receive a (map, symbol) pair and now can receive just a
'struct map_symbol' pointer.
This further paves the way to add 'struct map_groups' to 'struct
map_symbol' so that we can have all we need for annotation so that we
can ditch 'struct map'->groups, i.e. have the map_groups pointer in a
more central place, avoiding the pointer in the 'struct map' that have
tons of instances.
