6cd2cbfc68 perf evsel: Add support for synthesized branch stack sample type
Allow for a synthesized branch stack to be added to samples. As with
synthesized call chains, the sample type cannot be changed because it is
needed to continue to parse events. So add and use helper function
evsel__has_br_stack() to indicate a branch stack, whether original or
synthesized.

cf888e08a0 perf intel-pt: Change branch stack support to use thread-stacks
Change Intel PT's branch stack support to use thread stacks. The
advantages of using branch stack support from the thread-stack are:

1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces

This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.

While the 2 approaches are not identical, in simple cases the results
can be identical e.g.

  Before:

    # perf record --kcore -e intel_pt// uname
    # perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp1.txt

  After:

    # perf script --itrace=i10usl -F+brstacksym,+addr,+flags > cmp2.txt
    # diff -s cmp1.txt cmp2.txt
    Files cmp1.txt and cmp2.txt are identical

86d67180b9 perf thread-stack: Add branch stack support
Intel PT already has support for creating branch stacks for each context
(per-cpu or per-thread). In the more common per-cpu case, the branch stack
is not separated for different threads, instead being cleared in between
each sample.

That approach will not work very well for adding branch stacks to
regular events. The branch stacks really need to be accumulated
separately for each thread.

As a start to accomplishing that, this patch adds support for putting
branch stack support into the thread-stack. The advantages are:

1. the branches are accumulated separately for each thread
2. the branch stack is cleared only in between continuous traces

This helps pave the way for adding branch stacks to regular events, not
just synthesized events as at present.

I.e. so far we had just one event in that side band thread, a dummy one
with attr.bpf_event set, so that 'perf record' can go ahead and ask the
kernel for further information about BPF programs being loaded.

Allow for more than one event to be there, so that we can use it as

1e1a873dc6 perf metricgroups: Enhance JSON/metric infrastructure to handle "?"
Patch enhances current metric infrastructure to handle "?" in the metric
expression. The "?" can be use for parameters whose value not known
while creating metric events and which can be replace later at runtime
to the proper value. It also add flexibility to create multiple events
out of single metric event added in JSON file.

Patch adds function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' which is a arch specific
function, returns the count of metric events need to be created.  By
default it return 1.

This infrastructure needed for hv_24x7 socket/chip level events.
"hv_24x7" chip level events needs specific chip-id to which the data is
requested. Function 'arch_get_runtimeparam' implemented in header.c
which extract number of sockets from sysfs file "sockets" under
"/sys/devices/hv_24x7/interface/".

With this patch basically we are trying to create as many metric events
as define by runtime_param.

For that one loop is added in function 'metricgroup__add_metric', which
create multiple events at run time depend on return value of
'arch_get_runtimeparam' and merge that event in 'group_list'.

To achieve that we are actually passing this parameter value as part of
`expr__find_other` function and changing "?" present in metric
expression with this value.

As in our JSON file, there gonna be single metric event, and out of
which we are creating multiple events.

To understand which data count belongs to which parameter value,
we also printing param value in generic_metric function.

For example,

  command:# ./perf stat  -M PowerBUS_Frequency -C 0 -I 1000
    1.000101867  9,356,933  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_0
    1.000101867  9,366,134  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_1
    2.000314878  9,365,868  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=0/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_0
    2.000314878  9,366,092  hv_24x7/pm_pb_cyc,chip=1/ #  2.3 GHz  PowerBUS_Frequency_1

So, here _0 and _1 after PowerBUS_Frequency specify parameter value.

2069425eb3 perf synthetic events: Remove use of sscanf from /proc reading
The synthesize benchmark, run on a single process and thread, shows
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events as the hottest function with fgets
and sscanf taking the majority of execution time.

fscanf performs similarly well. Replace the scanf call with manual
reading of each field of the /proc/pid/maps line, and remove some
unnecessary buffering.

This change also addresses potential, but unlikely, buffer overruns for
the string values read by scanf.

d99c22eabe perf record: Add num-synthesize-threads option
To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which
is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming.
Mimic perf top way of handling the option.
If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before
this option.

On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't
slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has
some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with
>100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of
seconds and in this case having the option is desirable.

As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if
Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in
place:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/
shows:
...
      - 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads
         - 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread
            + 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events
            + 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0
            + 1.49% process_synthesized_event
            + 1.29% __GI___readdir64
            + 0.60% __opendir
...
That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to
make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch:

  Computing performance of multi threaded perf event synthesis by

     Average num. events: 21552.800 (+- 0.327)
     Average time per event 4.123 usec
   Number of synthesis threads: 3

     Average num. events: 21553.200 (+- 0.327)
     Average time per event 3.863 usec
   Number of synthesis threads: 4
     Average synthesis took: 75093.000 usec (+- 422.978 usec)
     Average num. events: 21554.200 (+- 0.200)
     Average time per event 3.484 usec
   Number of synthesis threads: 5
     Average synthesis took: 64896.600 usec (+- 353.348 usec)
     Average num. events: 21558.000 (+- 0.000)
     Average time per event 3.010 usec
   Number of synthesis threads: 6
     Average synthesis took: 59210.200 usec (+- 342.890 usec)
     Average num. events: 21560.000 (+- 0.000)
     Average time per event 2.746 usec
   Number of synthesis threads: 7
     Average synthesis took: 54093.900 usec (+- 306.247 usec)
     Average num. events: 21562.000 (+- 0.000)
     Average time per event 2.509 usec
   Number of synthesis threads: 8
     Average synthesis took: 48938.700 usec (+- 341.732 usec)
     Average num. events: 21564.000 (+- 0.000)
     Average time per event 2.269 usec

Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1
thread to 2.269 usec with 8. This isn't a linear speed up as not all of
synthesize code has been made parallel. If the synthesis time was about
10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.
