This patch isn't intended to have any effect on the compiled code. It
just removes one level of indirection: calling the *host* compiler to
build and then run a program that just printf:s the numerical entries of
the syscall-table. In other words, the generated syscalls.c changes
from:
[46] = "ftruncate",
to:
[__NR3264_ftruncate] = "ftruncate",
The latter is as good as the former to the user of perf, and this can be
done directly by the shell-script. The syscalls defined as non-literal
values (like "#define __NR_ftruncate __NR3264_ftruncate") are trivially
resolved at compile-time without namespace-leaking and/or collision for
its sole user, perf/util/syscalltbl.c, that just #includes the generated
file. A future "-mabi=32" support would probably have to handle this
differently, but that is a pre-existing problem not affected by this
simplification.
Calling the *host* compiler only complicates things and accidentally can
get a completely wrong set of files and syscall numbers, see earlier
commits. Note that the script parameter hostcc is now unused.
At the time of this patch, powerpc (the origin, see comments), and also
e.g. x86 has moved on, from filtering "gcc -dM -E" output to reading
separate specific text-file, a table of syscall numbers. IMHO should
arm64 consider adopting this.

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.
If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.
This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.
Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".
Committer notes:
Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:
#include <traceevent/event-parse.h>

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.
Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:
- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/
- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y
- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.
Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:
- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.
- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.
From Athira:
<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>
Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.
- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.
Also from Athira:
<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>
Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

When using "sort -nu", arm64 syscalls were lost. That is, the io_setup
syscall (number 0) and all but one (typically ftruncate; 64) of the
syscalls that are defined symbolically (like "#define __NR_ftruncate
__NR3264_ftruncate") at the point where "sort" is applied.
This creation-of-syscalls.c-scheme is, judging from comments,
copy-pasted from powerpc, and worked there because at the time, its
tools/arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h had *literals*, like
"#define __NR_ftruncate 93".
With sort being numeric and the non-numeric key effectively evaluating
to 0, the sort option "-u" means these "duplicates" are removed.
There's no need to remove syscall lines with duplicate numbers for arm64
because there are none, so let's fix that by just losing the "-u".
Having the table numerically sorted on syscall-number for the rest of
the syscalls looks nice, so keep the "-n".

- "perf lock" improvements:
- Add -E/--entries option to limit the number of entries to
display, say to ask for just the top 5 contended locks.
- Add -q/--quiet option to suppress header and debug messages.
- Add a 'perf test' kernel lock contention entry to test 'perf
lock'.
- "perf lock contention" improvements:
- Ask BPF's bpf_get_stackid() to skip some callchain entries.
The ones closer to the tooling are bpf related and not that
interesting, the ones calling the locking function are the ones
we're interested in, example of a full, unskipped callstack:
- Allow changing the callstack depth and number of entries to skip.

- Show full callstack in verbose mode (-v option), sometimes this
is desirable instead of showing just one callstack entry.
- Allow multiple time ranges in 'perf record --delay' to help in
reducing the amount of data collected from hardware tracing (Intel
PT, etc) when there is a rough idea of periods of time where events
of interest take time.
- Add Intel PT to record only decoder debug messages when error
happens.
- Improve layout of Intel PT man page.
- Add new branch types: alignment, data and inst faults and arch
specific ones, such as fiq, debug_halt, debug_exit, debug_inst and
debug_data on arm64.
Kernel enablement went thru the tip tree.
- Fix 'perf probe' error log check in 'perf test' when no debuginfo is
available.
- Fix 'perf stat' aggregation mode logic, it should be looking at the
CPU not at the core number.
- Fix flags parsing in 'perf trace' filters.
- Introduce compact encoding of CPU range encoding on perf.data, to
avoid having a bitmap with all the CPUs.
- Improvements to the 'perf stat' metrics, including adding
"core_wide", and computing "smt" from the CPU topology.
- Add support to the new PERF_FORMAT_LOST perf_event_attr.read_format,
that allows tooling to ask for the precise number of lost samples for
a given event.
- Add 'addr' sort key to see just the address of sampled instructions:
$ perf record -o- true | perf report -i- -s addr
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

perf annotate: Toggle full address <-> offset display
- Add 'f' hotkey to the 'perf annotate' TUI interface when in
'disassembler output' mode ('o' hotkey) to toggle showing full
virtual address or just the offset.
- Cache DSO build-ids when synthesizing PERF_RECORD_MMAP records for
pre-existing threads, at the start of a 'perf record' session,
speeding up that record startup phase.
- Add a command line option to specify build ids in 'perf inject'.
- Update JSON event files for the Intel alderlake, broadwell,
broadwellde, broadwellx, cascadelakex, haswell, haswellx, icelake,
icelakex, ivybridge, ivytown, jaketown, sandybridge, sapphirerapids,
skylake, skylakex, and tigerlake processors.
- Update vendor JSON event files for the ARM Neoverse V1 and E1
platforms.
- Add a 'perf test' entry for 'perf mem' where a struct has false
sharing and this gets detected in the 'perf mem' output, tested with
Intel, AMD and ARM64 systems.
- Add a 'perf test' entry to test the resolution of java symbols, where
an output like this is expected:
8.18% jshell jitted-50116-29.so [.] Interpreter
0.75% Thread-1 jitted-83602-1670.so [.] jdk.internal.jimage.BasicImageReader.getString(int)
- Add tests for the ARM64 CoreSight hardware tracing feature, with
specially crafted pureloop, memcpy, thread loop and unroll tread that
then gets traced and the output compared with expected output.
Documentation explaining it is also included.
- Add per thread Intel PT 'perf test' entry to check that
PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE events are recorded per CPU, resulting in a
mixture of per thread and per CPU events and mmaps, verify that this
gets all recorded correctly.
- Introduce pthread mutex wrappers to allow for building with clang's
-Wthread-safety, i.e. using the "guarded_by" "pt_guarded_by"
"lockable", "exclusive_lock_function", "exclusive_trylock_function",
"exclusive_locks_required", and "no_thread_safety_analysis" compiler
function attributes.
- Fix empty version number when building outside of a git repo.
- Improve feature detection display when multiple versions of a feature
are present, such as for binutils libbfd, that has a mix of possible
ways to detect according to the Linux distribution.
Previously in some cases we had:
Auto-detecting system features
<SNIP>
... libbfd: [ on ]
... libbfd-liberty: [ on ]
... libbfd-liberty-z: [ on ]
<SNIP>
Now for this case we show just the main feature:
Auto-detecting system features
<SNIP>
... libbfd: [ on ]
<SNIP>
- Remove some unused structs, variables, macros, function prototypes
and includes from various places.

Arch-specific implementations of syscall handlers are currently used
over generic implementations for the following reasons:
1. Semantics unique to powerpc
2. Compatibility syscalls require 'argument padding' to comply with
64-bit argument convention in ELF32 abi.
3. Parameter types or order is different in other architectures.
These syscall handlers have been defined prior to this patch series
without invoking the SYSCALL_DEFINE or COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macros with
custom input and output types. We remove every such direct definition in
favour of the aforementioned macros.
Also update syscalls.tbl in order to refer to the symbol names generated
by each of these macros. Since ppc64_personality can be called by both
64 bit and 32 bit binaries through compatibility, we must generate both
both compat_sys_ and sys_ symbols for this handler.
As an aside:
A number of architectures including arm and powerpc agree on an
alternative argument order and numbering for most of these arch-specific
handlers. A future patch series may allow for asm/unistd.h to signal
through its defines that a generic implementation of these syscall
handlers with the correct calling convention be emitted, through the
__ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_... convention.

Syscall #82 has been implemented for 32-bit platforms in a unique way on
powerpc systems. This hack will in effect guess whether the caller is
expecting new select semantics or old select semantics. It does so via a
guess, based off the first parameter. In new select, this parameter
represents the length of a user-memory array of file descriptors, and in
old select this is a pointer to an arguments structure.
The heuristic simply interprets sufficiently large values of its first
parameter as being a call to old select. The following is a discussion
on how this syscall should be handled.
As discussed in this thread, the existence of such a hack suggests that for
whatever powerpc binaries may predate glibc, it is most likely that they
would have taken use of the old select semantics. x86 and arm64 both
implement this syscall with oldselect semantics.
Remove the powerpc implementation, and update syscall.tbl to refer to emit
a reference to sys_old_select and compat_sys_old_select
for 32-bit binaries, in keeping with how other architectures support
syscall #82.

Current perf stat uses the evlist__add_default_attrs() to add the
generic default attrs, and uses arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to add
the Arch specific default attrs, e.g., Topdown for x86.
It works well for the non-hybrid platforms. However, for a hybrid
platform, the hard code generic default attrs don't work.
Uses arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to replace the
evlist__add_default_attrs(). The arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() is
modified to invoke the same __evlist__add_default_attrs() for the
generic default attrs. No functional change.
Add default_null_attrs[] to indicate the arch specific attrs.
No functional change for the arch specific default attrs either.

With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the sample-read feature should
be supported for a TopDown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read
a Topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors are out.
For a TopDown metric group,the slots event must be the leader of the group,
but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling. To support sample-read
the TopDown metric group, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader"
for the purposes of sampling.
Only the platform with the TopDown metric feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. In commit acb65150a4 ("perf record: Support sample-read
topdown metric group"), it adds arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate
whether the TopDown group supports sample-read, it should only work on the
non-hybrid systems, this patch extends the support for hybrid platforms.

The X86 specific arch__intr_reg_mask() is to check whether the kernel
and hardware can collect XMM registers. But it doesn't work on some
hybrid platform.
Without the patch on ADL-N:
$ perf record -I?
available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10
R11 R12 R13 R14 R15
The config of the test event doesn't contain the PMU information. The
kernel may fail to initialize it on the correct hybrid PMU and return
the wrong non-supported information.
Add the PMU information into the config for the hybrid platform. The
same register set is supported among different hybrid PMUs. Checking
the first available one is good enough.

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".
Introduce a new function to check whether the system supports the perf
metrics feature. The result is cached for the future usage.
For X86, the core PMU name always has "cpu" prefix.

The evsel->name may have a different format for a topdown event, a pure
topdown name (e.g., topdown-fe-bound), or a PMU name + a topdown name
(e.g., cpu/topdown-fe-bound/). The cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ kind format
isn't supported by the arch_evlist__leader(). This format is a very
common format for a hybrid platform, which requires specifying the PMU
name for each event.

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
the current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".
The evsel->pmu_name can be used to replace the "cpu" to fix the issue.
For a hybrid platform, the pmu_name must be non-NULL. Because there are
at least two core PMUs. The PMU has to be specified.
For a non-hybrid platform, the pmu_name may be NULL. Because there is
only one core PMU, "cpu". For a NULL pmu_name, we can safely assume that
it is a "cpu" PMU.
In case other PMUs also define the "slots" event, checking the PMU type
as well.
