Commit 0a892c1c94 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide
synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing.
Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it
is not the first event. Adding another dummy tracking event causes
duplicated sideband events. Fix by checking for an existing dummy
tracking event first.
Example showing duplicated switch events:

Trying to disentangle this a bit further, unfortunately it uses
parse_events(), its interesting to have it separated anyway, so do it.

Restructure event enabling/disabling to use affinity, which
minimizes the number of IPIs needed.

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.
This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.
We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.
It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

(the number changes slightly because the weak group retries
work differently and the test case relies on weak groups)
Committer notes:
Added one of the hunks in a patch provided by Andi after I noticed that
the "event times" 'perf test' entry was segfaulting.

Closing a perf fd can also trigger an IPI to the target CPU.
Use the same affinity technique as we use for reading/enabling events to
closing to optimize the CPU transitions.

In the earlier fix for the memory overrun of id arrays I managed to typo
the wrong event in the fix.
Of course we need to close the current event in the loop, not the
original failing event.
The same test case as in the original patch still passes.

Move perf_mmap__put() from tools/perf to libperf.
Once perf_mmap__put() is moved, we need a way to call application
related unmap code (AIO and aux related code for eprf), when the map
goes away.
Add the perf_mmap::unmap callback to do that.
The unmap path from perf is:
perf_mmap__put (libperf)
perf_mmap__munmap (libperf)
map->unmap_cb -> perf_mmap__unmap_cb (perf)
mmap__munmap (perf)
Committer notes:
Add missing linux/kernel.h to tools/perf/lib/mmap.c to get the BUG_ON
definition.

Will be used by 'perf trace' to support 'perf trace --filter', we need
to append to any pre-existing filter.
When parse_filter() gets invoked to process --filter, it'll set the
filter to that specified on the command line, later on, when we filter
out 'perf trace' own pid to avoid an event feedback loop, we need to
preserve the command line filter put in place by parse_filter().

I'm not fully sure if this is the correct fix, but without this I get
crashes on more complex perf stat metric usages. The problem is that
part of the state gets freed when a weak group fails, but then is later
still used. Just don't free the ids, we're going to reuse them anyways
on the weak group retry.
For example:
% perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2
crashes and gives in valgrind:

Ditch it, noone is using it, one more stdio.h include in a hot header.
Fix the fallout in parse-events.y, where we end up using a FILE pointer,
I think due to YYDEBUG being set and in some places, like Amazon Linux 1
we don't get stdio.h included by luck, like in most other places, add a
explicit stdio.h include directive.
