And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.
The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.
That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.
First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.
Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.
Committer notes:
I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:
# perf test -v parsing
26: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17018
sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
#
With the two paches combined:
# perf test parsing
26: Sample parsing : Ok

The test case 'Read backward ring buffer' failed on 32-bit architectures
which were found by LKFT perf testing. The test failed on arm32 x15
device, qemu_arm32, qemu_i386, and found intermittent failure on i386;
the failure log is as below:
50: Read backward ring buffer :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 510
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-9E-9
mmap size 1052672B
mmap size 8192B
Finished reading overwrite ring buffer: rewind
free(): invalid next size (fast)
test child interrupted
---- end ----
Read backward ring buffer: FAILED!
The log hints there have issue for memory usage, thus free() reports
error 'invalid next size' and directly exit for the case. Finally, this
issue is root caused as out of bounds memory access for the data array
'evsel->id'.
The backward ring buffer test invokes do_test() twice. 'evsel->id' is
allocated at the first call with the flow:
test__backward_ring_buffer()
`-> do_test()
`-> evlist__mmap()
`-> evlist__mmap_ex()
`-> perf_evsel__alloc_id()
So 'evsel->id' is allocated with one item, and it will be used in
function perf_evlist__id_add():
evsel->id[0] = id
evsel->ids = 1
At the second call for do_test(), it skips to initialize 'evsel->id'
and reuses the array which is allocated in the first call. But
'evsel->ids' contains the stale value. Thus:
evsel->id[1] = id -> out of bound access
evsel->ids = 2
To fix this issue, we will use evlist__open() and evlist__close() pair
functions to prepare and cleanup context for evlist; so 'evsel->id' and
'evsel->ids' can be initialized properly when invoke do_test() and avoid
the out of bounds memory access.

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.

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.

An optimized build such as:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-O3
will turn the dereference operation into a ud2 instruction, raising a
SIGILL rather than a SIGSEGV. Use raise(..) for correctness and clarity.

That was done just to have users of writen() and readn(), that before
had their prototypes in util/util.h to get it without having to add an
include for internal/lib.h, but the right way is to add it and by now
all places already do it.
Fix a fallout were readlink() was used but unistd.h was being obtained
by luck thru util.h -> internal/lib.h, now to check why unistd.h is
being included there...

As this isn't used at all in mmap.h but in evlist.h, so to cut down the
header dependency tree, move it to where it is used.
Also add mmap.h to the places using it but previously getting it
indirectly via evlist.h.
Add missing pthread.h to evlist.h, as it has a pthread_t struct member
and was getting the header via mmap.h.
Noticed while processing a Jiri's libperf batch touching mmap.h, where
almost everything gets rebuilt because evlist.h is so popular, so cut
down't this rebuild the world party.

Pruning a bit more the includes dependency tree. Building this thing on
lots of containers takes time, we better reduce the time per build, each
container is doing 6 builds when clang and clang-devel are available,
and the plan is to do a 'make -C tools/perf build-test' that have many
more.
Also helps when doing normal development, as touching some random file
will have a much reduced chance of triggering lots of rebuilds.
