Perf will core dump if --per-socket/core -a are applied for perf stat.
The root cause is that cpu_map__build_map set refcnt of evlist's cpu_map
to 1. It should set refcnt for the newly created cpu_map, not evlist's
cpu_map.
Here is the example:
# perf stat -e cycles --per-socket -a sleep 1

We have three benchmarking subsystems that specify some sort of 'number
of loops' parameter - but all of them do it inconsistently:
numa: -l/--nr_loops
sched messaging: -l/--loops
mem memset/memcpy: -i/--iterations
Harmonize them to -l/--nr_loops by picking the numa variant - which is
also the most likely one to have existing scripting which we don't want
to break.
Plus improve the parameter help texts to indicate the default value for
the nr_loops variable to keep users from guessing ...
Also propagate the naming to internal variables.

So 'perf bench mem memcpy/memset' has elaborate code to measure
memcpy()/memset() performance both with freshly allocated buffers (which
includes initial page fault overhead) and with preallocated buffers.
But the thing is, the resulting bandwidth results are mostly
meaningless, because page faults dominate so much of the cost.
It might make sense to measure cache cold vs. cache hot performance, but
the code does not do this.
So remove this complication, and always prefault the ranges before using
them.

Currently libtraceevent emits warning on unsupported event formats.
However it'd be better to see them only -v option is given. To do that,
it needs to override the warning() function which is used in the
libtracevent. Thus add set_warning_routine() same as set_die_routine()
and check the verbose flag in our warning routine.
Before:
# perf test 5

Currently, when 'perf test' is run by a normal user, it'll fail to
access tracepoint events. The output becomes somewhat messy because it
tries to be nice with long error messages and hints.
IMHO this is not needed for 'perf test' by default and AFAIK 'perf test'
uses pr_debug() rather than pr_err() for such messages so that one can
use -v option to see further details on failed testcases if needed.

Do it using the recently introduced ui_brower scrolling mode, setting
ui_browser.columns to the number of sort columns and then, when
rendering each line, skipping as many initial columns as the user
pressed the right arrow.
As the user presses the left arrow, the ui_browser code will remove the
scrolling counter and the left scrolling takes place.
The right arrow key was an alias for ENTER, so people used to press it
may get a bit annoyed at first, sorry! Ditto for ESC and the left key.
Callchains can be left as is or we can, when rendering the Symbol
column, store the at what position on the screen it is and then
using ui_browser__gotorc() to print it from there, i.e. the callchain
would move around with the symbol.
Leaving it as is, i.e. at a fixed position, close to the left, saves
precious screen real state for it, so I'm inclined to leave it as is
now.

If the classes derived from ui_browser want to do some sort of
horizontal scrolling, they have just to set ui_browser->columns to
the number of columns available.
Those columns can be the number of characters on the screen, if what is
desired is to scroll character by character, or the number of columns in
a spreadsheet like table.
This is what the hist_browser will do, skipping ui_browser->horiz_scroll
columns when rendering each of its lines.

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM
(software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not
able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test
case.
For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture
specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.
The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the
counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read
both the hardware event and the software event counters.
Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM
event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE().
