As there are several discussions for enabling perf breakpoint signal
testing on arm64 platform: arm64 needs to rely on single-step to execute
the breakpointed instruction and then reinstall the breakpoint exception
handler. But if we hook the breakpoint with a signal, the signal
handler will do the stepping rather than the breakpointed instruction,
this causes infinite loops as below:
Kernel space | Userspace
---------------------------------|--------------------------------
| __test_function() -> hit
| breakpoint
breakpoint_handler() |
`-> user_enable_single_step() |
do_signal() |
| sig_handler() -> Step one
| instruction and
| trap to kernel
single_step_handler() |
`-> reinstall_suspended_bps() |
| __test_function() -> hit
| breakpoint again and
| repeat up flow infinitely
As Will Deacon mentioned [1]: "that we require the overflow handler to
do the stepping on arm/arm64, which is relied upon by GDB/ptrace. The
hw_breakpoint code is a complete disaster so my preference would be to
rip out the perf part and just implement something directly in ptrace,
but it's a pretty horrible job". Though Will commented this on arm
architecture, but the comment also can apply on arm64 architecture.
For complete information, I searched online and found a few years back,
Wang Nan sent one patch 'arm64: Store breakpoint single step state into
pstate' [2]; the patch tried to resolve this issue by avoiding single
stepping in signal handler and defer to enable the signal stepping when
return to __test_function(). The fixing was not merged due to the
concern for missing to handle different usage cases.
Based on the info, the most feasible way is to skip Perf breakpoint
signal testing for arm64 and this could avoid the duplicate
investigation efforts when people see the failure. This patch skips
this case on arm64 platform, which is same with arm architecture.

The arm architecture supports breakpoint accounting but it doesn't
support breakpoint overflow signal handling. The current code uses the
same checking helper, thus it disables both testings (bp_account and
bp_signal) for arm platform.
For handling two testings separately, this patch adds a dedicated
checking helper is_supported() for breakpoint accounting testing, thus
it allows supporting breakpoint accounting testing on arm platform; the
old helper test__bp_signal_is_supported() is only used to checking for
breakpoint overflow signal testing.

There are some deprecated events listed by perf list. But we can't
remove them from perf list with ease because some old scripts may use
them.
Deprecated events are old names of renamed events. When an event gets
renamed the old name is kept around for some time and marked with
Deprecated. The newer Intel event lists in the tree already have these
headers.
So we need to keep them in the event list, but provide a new option to
show them. The new option is "--deprecated".
With this patch, the deprecated events are hidden by default but they
can be displayed when option "--deprecated" is enabled.

We were doing this only at the sys_exit syscall tracepoint, as for
strace-like we count the pair of sys_enter and sys_exit as one event,
but when asking specifically for a the syscalls:sys_enter_NAME
tracepoint we need to count each of those as an event.
I.e. things like:
# perf trace --max-events=4 -e syscalls:sys_enter_lseek
0.000 pool/2242 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 14<anon_inode:[timerfd]>, offset: 0, whence: CUR)
0.034 pool/2242 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 15<anon_inode:[timerfd]>, offset: 0, whence: CUR)
0.051 pool/2242 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 16<anon_inode:[timerfd]>, offset: 0, whence: CUR)
2307.900 sshd/30800 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 3</usr/lib64/libsystemd.so.0.25.0>, offset: 9032, whence: SET)
#
Were going on forever, since we only had sys_enter events.

Instead of calling a useless (and broken) helper function to get the
next event of a tep event array, just get the array directly and iterate
over it.
Note, the broken part was from trace_find_next_event() which after this
will no longer be used, and can be removed.
Committer notes:
This fixes a segfault when generating python scripts from perf.data
files with multiple tracepoint events, i.e. the following use case is
fixed by this patch:
# perf record -e sched:* sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 31 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
# perf script -g python

For syscalls we need to cache the 'syscall_id' and 'ret' field offsets
but as well have a pointer to the syscall_fmt_arg array for the fields,
so that we can expand strings in filter expressions, so introduce
a 'struct evsel_trace' to have in evsel->priv that allows for that.

Next step will be to have a 'struct evsel_trace' to allow for handling
the syscalls tracepoints via the strace-like code while reusing parts of
that code with the other tracepoints, where we don't have things like
the 'syscall_nr' or 'ret' ((raw_)?syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}(_SYSCALL)?)
args that we want to cache offsets and have been using evsel->priv for
that, while for the other tracepoints we'll have just an array of
'struct syscall_arg_fmt' (i.e. ->scnprint() for number->string and
->strtoul() string->number conversions and other state those functions
need).

We're using evsel->priv in syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}_SYSCALL and in
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} to cache the offset of the common fields,
the multiplexor id/syscall_id in the sys_enter case and syscall_id + ret
for sys_exit.
And for the rest of the tracepoints we use it to have a syscall_arg_fmt
array to have scnprintf/strtoul for tracepoint args.
So we better clearly mark them with accessors so that we can move to
having a 'struct evsel_trace' struct for all 'perf trace' specific
evsel->priv usage.

Ended up only being useful when filtering multiple irq_vectors
tracepoints, as we end up having a tracepoint for each of the entries,
i.e.:
This will always come with the "RESCHEDULE_VECTOR" in the 'vector' arg:
# perf trace --max-events 8 -e irq_vectors:reschedule*
0.000 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
0.004 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
0.553 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
0.556 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.182 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.185 cc1/29067 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.203 :29052/29052 irq_vectors:reschedule_entry(vector: RESCHEDULE)
1.206 :29052/29052 irq_vectors:reschedule_exit(vector: RESCHEDULE)
#
While filtering that value will produce nothing:
# perf trace --max-events 8 -e irq_vectors:reschedule* --filter="vector != RESCHEDULE"
^C#
Maybe it'll be useful for those other tracepoints:
# perf list irq_vectors:vector_*
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
irq_vectors:vector_activate [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_alloc [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_alloc_managed [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_clear [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_config [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_deactivate [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_free_moved [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_reserve [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_reserve_managed [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_setup [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_teardown [Tracepoint event]
irq_vectors:vector_update [Tracepoint event]
#
But since we have it done, keep it.
This at least served to teach me that all those irq vectors have a entry
and an exit tracepoint that I can then use just like with
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}, i.e. pair them, use just a
trace__irq_vectors_entry() + trace__irq_vectors_exit() and use the
'vector' arg as I use the 'syscall id' one for syscalls.
Then the default for 'perf trace' will include irq_vectors in addition
to syscalls.

doesn't support these options.
It would be useful to support these options in 'perf stat' too to keep
the same semantics available in both tools.

Avoiding a pipe allows objdump command failures to surface. Move to the
caller of symbol__parse_objdump_line the call to strim that removes
leading and trailing tabs. Add a new expand_tabs function that if a tab
is present allocate a new line in which tabs are expanded. In
symbol__parse_objdump_line the line had no leading spaces, so simplify
the line_ip processing.

We received a user report that call-graph DWARF mode was enabled in
'perf record' but 'perf report' didn't unwind the callstack correctly.
The reason was, libunwind was not compiled in.
We can use 'perf -vv' to check the compiled libraries but it would be
valuable to report a warning to user directly (especially valuable for
a perf newbie).
The warning is:

When executing the task exit testing case, perf gets stuck in an endless
loop this case and doesn't return back on Arm64 Juno board.
After digging into this issue, since Juno board has Arm's big.LITTLE
CPUs, thus the PMUs are not compatible between the big CPUs and little
CPUs. This leads to a PMU event that cannot be enabled properly when
the traced task is migrated from one variant's CPU to another variant.
Finally, the test case runs into infinite loop for cannot read out any
event data after return from polling.
Eventually, we need to work out formal solution to allow PMU events can
be freely migrated from one CPU variant to another, but this is a
difficult task and a different topic. This patch tries to fix the Perf
test case to avoid infinite loop, when the testing detects 1000 times
retrying for reading empty events, it will directly bail out and return
failure. This allows the Perf tool can continue its other test cases.

Currently when a new map is mmapped we set its refcnt to 2 in the
perf_evlist_mmap_ops::mmap callback.
Every mmap gets its refcnt set to 2 when it's first mmaped:
- 1 for the current user, which will be taken out by a call to
perf_evlist__munmap_filtered(), where we find out there's
no more data comming from kernel to this mmap.
- 1 for the drain code where in perf_mmap__consume() the mmap
is released if it is empty.
Move this common setup into libperf's generic code before the mmap
callback is called.
