FYI: I'm carrying this on perf-tools-next.
The previous attempt fixed the build on debian:experimental-x-mipsel,
but when building on a larger set of containers I noticed it broke the
build on some other 32-bit architectures such as:
42 7.87 ubuntu:18.04-x-arm : FAIL gcc version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04)
builtin-daemon.c: In function 'cmd_session_list':

/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include/inttypes.h:105:34: note: format string is defined here
# define PRIu64 __PRI64_PREFIX "u"
So lets cast that time_t (32-bit/64-bit) to uint64_t to make sure it
builds everywhere.

The 32-bit arm build system will complain:
tools/perf/util/python.c:75:28: error: field ‘sample’ has incomplete type
75 | struct perf_sample sample;
However, arm64 build system doesn't complain this.
The root cause is arm64 define "HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT := 1" in
tools/perf/arch/arm64/Makefile, but arm arch doesn't define this.
This will lead to kvm-stat.h include other header files on arm64 build
system, especially "util/sample.h" for util/python.c.
This will try to directly include "util/sample.h" for "util/python.c" to
avoid such build issue on arm platform.

The spinlock and rwlock use a single-element per-cpu array to track
current locks due to performance reason. But this means the key is
always available and it cannot simply account lock stats in the array
because some of them are invalid.
In fact, the contention_end() program in the BPF invalidates the entry
by setting the 'lock' value to 0 instead of deleting the entry for the
hashmap. So it should skip entries with the lock value of 0 in the
account_end_timestamp().
Otherwise, it'd have spurious high contention on an idle machine:
$ sudo perf lock con -ab -Y spinlock sleep 3
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

1 11.61 us 11.61 us 11.61 us spinlock rcu_core+0xc7
I don't believe it has contention on a spinlock longer than 1 second.
After this change, it only reports some small contentions.

Commit 3e0bf9fde2 ("perf pmu: Restore full PMU name wildcard
support") adds a test case "PMU cmdline match" that covers PMU name
wildcard support provided by function perf_pmu__match(). The test works
with a wide range of supported combinations of PMU name matching but
omits the case that if the perf_pmu__match() cannot match the PMU name
to the wildcard, it tries to match its alias. However, this variable is
not set up, causing the test case to fail when run with subprocesses or
to segfault if run as a single process.

Since libdw version 0.177, elfutils has merged libebl.a into libdw (see
the commit "libebl: Don't install libebl.a, libebl.h and remove backends
from spec." in the elfutils repository).
As a result, libebl.a does not exist on Debian Bullseye and newer
releases, causing static perf builds to fail on these distributions.
This commit checks the libdw version and only links libebl.a if it
detects that the libdw version is older than 0.177.

Python configuration has dedicated folders for different architectures.
For example, Python 3.11 has two folders as shown below, one for Arm64
and another for x86_64:

/usr/lib/python3.11/config-3.11-x86_64-linux-gnu/

compiler's machine type, guiding the compiler to find the correct path
for Python libraries. It also renames the generated .so file name to
match the machine name.

On recent Linux distros like Ubuntu Noble and Debian Bookworm, the
'pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu' package is missing. As a result, the
aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config command is not available, which causes
build failures.
When a build passes the environment variables PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR or
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, like a user uses make command or a build system
(like Yocto, Buildroot, etc) prepares the variables and passes to the
Perf's Makefile, the commit keeps these variables for package
configuration. Otherwise, this commit sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
variable to use the Multiarch libs for the cross compilation.

- Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g.
EFER
- Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the

- Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant
tracepoint
- Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to
consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking
for a specific vendor
- Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on
CPUs that support self-snoop
- Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure
- Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as
it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored
- Misc cleanups
x86 - MMU:
- Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
Intel TDX support
- Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages
that can't hold leafs SPTEs
- Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables
for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting
huge pages
- Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE
that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a
broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's
all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards
x86 - AMD:
- Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware
- Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into
an instrumentable function from noinstr code
- Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes a
new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,
there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated
pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges
This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough
to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification
There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
for the host to provide certificate data for those keys.
To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit
type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from
userspace.
An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO / KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS
exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but
is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset
only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that
does not provide certificate data
x86 - Intel:
- Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware
- Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested
pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing
HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1)
- KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch
emulation
Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are
triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support
userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation
Silently ignoring the exit request can result in the
WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to userspace
for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed
See commit 0dc902267c ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write
exits if emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's
limitations with respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator
flows
Generic:
- Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to
AS_INACCESSIBLE, because the special casing needed by these pages
is not due to just unmovability (and in fact they are only
unmovable because the CPU cannot access them)
- New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is
useful to mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live
migration. The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not
through the ioctl
- Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a
clear win
- Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to
synchronize SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86
- Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with
a flag that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and
sched_out()
- Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace
detect bugs
- Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in
the KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus
writing guest memory when retrieving guest state during live
migration blackout
Selftests:
- Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test
- Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family
17h+ CPUs
- Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid
spamming the log for tests that create lots of VMs
- Make the PMU counters test less flaky when counting LLC cache
misses by doing CLFLUSH{OPT} in every loop iteration"

This is a bug found when implementing pretty-printing for the
landlock_add_rule system call, I decided to send this patch separately
because this is a serious bug that should be fixed fast.
I wrote a test program to do landlock_add_rule syscall in a loop,
yet perf trace -e landlock_add_rule freezes, giving no output.
This bug is introduced by the false understanding of the variable "key"
below:
```
for (key = 0; key < trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries; ++key) {
struct syscall *sc = trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key);
...
}
```
The code above seems right at the beginning, but when looking at
syscalltbl.c, I found these lines:
```
for (i = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i)
if (syscalltbl_native[i])
++nr_entries;
entries = tbl->syscalls.entries = malloc(sizeof(struct syscall) * nr_entries);
...
for (i = 0, j = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i) {
if (syscalltbl_native[i]) {
entries[j].name = syscalltbl_native[i];
entries[j].id = i;
++j;
}
}
```
meaning the key is merely an index to traverse the syscall table,
instead of the actual syscall id for this particular syscall.
So if one uses key to do trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key), because
key only goes up to trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries, for example, on
my X86_64 machine, this number is 373, it will end up neglecting all
the rest of the syscall, in my case, everything after `rseq`, because
the traversal will stop at 373, and `rseq` is the last syscall whose id
is lower than 373
in tools/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c:
```
...
[334] = "rseq",
[424] = "pidfd_send_signal",
...
```
The reason why the key is scrambled but perf trace works well is that
key is used in trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key) to do
trace->syscalls.table[id], this makes sure that the struct syscall returned
actually has an id the same value as key, making the later bpf_prog
matching all correct.
After fixing this bug, I can do perf trace on 38 more syscalls, and
because more syscalls are visible, we get 8 more syscalls that can be
augmented.

before
perf $ perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
[no output]
after
perf $ ./perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
0.000 ( 0.037 ms): waybar/958 faccessat2(dfd: 40, filename: "uevent") = 0
P.S. The reason why this bug was not found in the past five years is
probably because it only happens to the newer syscalls whose id is
greater, for instance, faccessat2 of id 439, which not a lot of people
care about when using perf trace.
[Arnaldo]: notes
That and the fact that the BPF code was hidden before having to use -e,
that got changed kinda recently when we switched to using BPF skels for
augmenting syscalls in 'perf trace':

I.e. from August, 2023.
One had as well to ask for BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, which now is default if all
it needs is available on the system.
I simplified the code to not expose the 'struct syscall' outside of
tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c, instead providing a function to go from
the index to the syscall id:
int syscalltbl__id_at_idx(struct syscalltbl *tbl, int idx);

Change the unused var in 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh' to '_'
when reading from '$sorted_table'. This change allows the script to pass
tests of ShellCheck before and after version 0.7.2 at the same time.
When building in arch x86, syscalltbl.sh got a ShellCheck warning, which
makes compilation error:
In arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh line 27:
while read nr _abi name entry _compat; do
^-^ SC2034: abi appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
^----^ SC2034: compat appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
The script reads unused param abi and compat. It uses format '_xxx' to
indicate dummy vars, which won't work properly when ShellCheck <= 0.7.2.
According to SC2034, the more general way of writing is to use directly
'_' to indicate discarding vars. 'entry' is also replaced by '_' because
it just happens to be defined in emit function, otherwise it will lead
to some misunderstandings.

By default, perf sched map prints sched-in events for all the tasks
which may not be required all the time as it prints lot of symbols
and rows to the terminal.
With --task-name option, one could specify the specific task name
for which the map has to be shown. This would help in analyzing the
CPU usage patterns easier for that specific task. Since multiple
PID's might have the same task name, using task-name filter
would be more useful for debugging.
For other tasks, instead of printing the symbol, '-' is printed and
the same '.' is used to represent idle. '-' is used instead of symbol
for other tasks because it helps in clear visualization of task
of interest and secondly the symbol itself doesn't mean anything
because the sched-in of that symbol will not be printed(first sched-in
contains pid and the corresponding symbol).
When using the --task-name option, the sched-out time is represented
by a '*-'. Since not all task sched-in events are printed, the sched-out
time of the relevant task might be lost. This representation ensures
that the sched-out time of the interested task is not overlooked.

Currently, the -r/--repeat option accepts values from 0 and complains
for -1. The help section specifies:
-r, --repeat <n> repeat the workload replay N times (-1: infinite)
The -r -1 option raises an error because replay_repeat is defined as
an unsigned int.
In the current implementation, the workload is repeated n times when
-r <n> is used, except when n is 0.
When -r is set to 0, the workload is also repeated once. This happens
because when -r=0, the run_one_test function is not called. (Note that
mutex unlocking, which is essential for child threads spawned to emulate
the workload, happens in run_one_test.) However, mutex unlocking is
still performed in the destroy_tasks function. Thus, -r=0 results in the
workload running once coincidentally.
To clarify and maintain the existing logic for -r >= 1 (which runs the
workload the specified number of times) and to fix the issue with infinite
runs, make -r=0 perform an infinite run.
