The validation checks that the values that were just assigned, got
assigned i.e. the error can't ever happen. Subsequent patches will call
this code in places where errors are not being returned. Changing those
code paths to return this non-existent error is counter-productive, so
just remove it.
That in turn results in perf_evlist__set_maps not needing to return an
error, but callers aren't checking it either, so remove that too.

Propagate error info from tp_format via ERR_PTR to get it all the way
down to the parse-event.c tracepoint adding routines. Following
functions now return pointer with encoded error:
- tp_format
- trace_event__tp_format
- perf_evsel__newtp_idx
- perf_evsel__newtp
This affects several other places in perf, that cannot use pointer check
anymore, but must utilize the err.h interface, when getting error
information from above functions list.

The 'struct machine' represents the machine where the samples were/are
being collected, and we also have a 'struct perf_env' with extra details
about such machine, that we were collecting at 'perf.data' creation time
but we also needed when no perf.data file is being used, such as in
'perf top'.
So, get those structs closer together, as they provide a bigger picture
of the sample's environment.
In 'perf session', when the file argument is NULL, we can assume that
the tool is sampling the running machine, so point machine->env to
the global put in place in previous patches, while set it to the
perf_header.env one when reading from a file.
This paves the way for machine->env to be used in
perf_event__preprocess_sample to populate addr_location.socket.

Showing actual trace event when adding perf events is only needed in
perf probe command. But the add functionality itself can be used by
other places. So move the printing code into the cmd_probe().
Also it combines the output if more than one event is added.
Before:
$ sudo perf probe -a do_fork -a do_exit
Added new event:
probe:do_fork (on do_fork)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1
Added new events:
probe:do_exit (on do_exit)
probe:do_exit_1 (on do_exit)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:do_exit_1 -aR sleep 1
After:
$ sudo perf probe -a do_fork -a do_exit
Added new events:
probe:do_fork (on do_fork)
probe:do_exit (on do_exit)
probe:do_exit_1 (on do_exit)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:do_exit_1 -aR sleep 1

This patch drops struct __event_package structure. Instead, it adds a
'struct trace_probe_event' pointer to 'struct perf_probe_event'.
The trace_probe_event information gives further patches a chance to
access actual probe points and actual arguments.
Using them, 'perf probe' can get the whole list of added probes and
print them at once.
Other users like the upcoming bpf_loader will be able to attach one bpf
program to different probing points of an inline function (which has
multiple probing points) and glob functions.
Moreover, by reading the arguments information, bpf code for reading
those arguments can be generated.

Add support for selecting and processing PERF_RECORD_SWITCH events for
use by Intel PT. If they are available, they will be used in preference
to sched_switch events.
This enables an unprivileged user to trace multi-threaded or
multi-process workloads with any level of perf_event_paranoid. However
it depends on kernel support for PERF_RECORD_SWITCH.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-threaded workload will decode
without error but all the data will be attributed to the main thread.
Without this patch, tracing a multi-process workload will result in
decoder errors because the decoder will not know which executable is
executing.

The MPX instructions are presently not described in the SDM
opcode maps, and there are not encoding characters for bnd
registers, address method or operand type. So the kernel
opcode map is using 'Gv' for bnd registers and 'Ev' for
everything else. That is fine because the instruction
decoder does not use that information anyway, except as
an indication that there is a ModR/M byte.
Nevertheless, in some cases the 'Gv' and 'Ev' are the wrong
way around, BNDLDX and BNDSTX have 2 operands not 3, and it
wouldn't hurt to identify the mandatory prefixes.
This has no effect on the decoding of valid instructions,
but the addition of the mandatory prefixes will cause some
invalid instructions to error out that wouldn't have
previously.
Note that perf tools has a copy of the instruction decoder
and provides a test for new instructions which includes MPX
instructions e.g.
$ perf test "x86 ins"
39: Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions : Ok
Or to see the details:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins"
Commiter notes:
And to see these MPX instructions specifically:
$ perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep bndldx | head -3
Decoded ok: 0f 1a 00 bndldx (%eax),%bnd0
Decoded ok: 0f 1a 05 78 56 34 12 bndldx 0x12345678,%bnd0
Decoded ok: 0f 1a 18 bndldx (%eax),%bnd3
$ perf test -v "x86 ins" 2>&1 | grep bndstx | head -3
