As the "perf_" prefix should be restricted to functions and types in
tools/lib/perf/, aka libperf, this way we reduce a bit the confusion for
types only in libperf or the ones in the more contained tools/perf/

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

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.

Trying to disentangle this a bit further, unfortunately it uses

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.

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.

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:

Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1

10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.

Perf checks the duplicate entries in a callchain before adding an entry.
However the check is very slow especially with deeper call stack.
Almost ~50% elapsed time of perf report is spent on the check when the
call stack is always depth of 32.
The hist_entry__cmp() is used to compare the new entry with the old
entries. It will go through all the available sorts in the sort_list,
and call the specific cmp of each sort, which is very slow.
Actually, for most cases, there are no duplicate entries in callchain.
The symbols are usually different. It's much faster to do a quick check
for symbols first. Only do the full cmp when the symbols are exactly the
same.
The quick check is only to check symbols, not dso. Export
_sort__sym_cmp.

For a call stack which is deeper than LBR limit, HW will overwrite the
LBR register with oldest branch. Only partial call stacks can be
reconstructed.
However, the overwritten LBRs may still be retrieved from previous
sample. At that moment, HW hasn't overwritten the LBR registers yet.
Perf tools can stitch those overwritten LBRs on current call stacks to
get a more complete call stack.
To determine if LBRs can be stitched, perf tools need to compare current
sample with previous sample.
- They should have identical LBR records (Same from, to and flags
values, and the same physical index of LBR registers).
- The searching starts from the base-of-stack of current sample.
Once perf determines to stitch the previous LBRs, the corresponding LBR
cursor nodes will be copied to 'lists'. The 'lists' is to track the LBR
cursor nodes which are going to be stitched.
When the stitching is over, the nodes will not be freed immediately.
They will be moved to 'free_lists'. Next stitching may reuse the space.
Both 'lists' and 'free_lists' will be freed when all samples are
processed.
Committer notes:
Fix the intel-pt.c initialization of the union with 'struct
branch_flags', that breaks the build with its unnamed union on older gcc
versions.
Uninline thread__free_stitch_list(), as it grew big and started dragging
includes to thread.h, so move it to thread.c where what it needs in
terms of headers are already there.
This fixes the build in several systems such as debian:experimental when
cross building to the MIPS32 architecture, i.e. in the other cases what
was needed was being included by sheer luck.

LBR only collect the user call stack. To reconstruct a call stack, both
kernel call stack and user call stack are required. The function
resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() mix the kernel call stack and user call
stack.
Now, with the help of HW idx, perf tool can reconstruct a more complete
call stack by adding some user call stack from previous sample. However,
current implementation is hard to be extended to support it.

The current rXXXX event specification creates event under PERF_TYPE_RAW
pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX within pmu syntax, so it's
type is used via the following syntax:
-e 'cpu/r3c/'
-e 'cpum_cf/r0/'
The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the same way as
in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is filled with pmu type.
Committer testing:
So, lets see what goes in perf_event_attr::config for, say, the
'instructions' PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE (0) event, first we should look at how
to encode this event as a PERF_TYPE_RAW event for this specific CPU, an
AMD Ryzen 5:
# cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions
event=0xc0
#
Then try with it _and_ the instruction, just to see that they are close
enough:
# perf stat -e rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
919,794 rc0
919,898 instructions
1.000754579 seconds time elapsed
0.000715000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
#
Now we should try, before this patch, the PMU event encoding:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/ sleep 1
event syntax error: 'cpu/rc0/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: event,edge,inv,umask,cmask,config,config1,config2,name,period,percore
#
Now with this patch, the three ways of specifying the 'instructions' CPU
counter are accepted:
# perf stat -e cpu/rc0/,rc0,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
892,948 cpu/rc0/
893,052 rc0
893,156 instructions
1.000931819 seconds time elapsed
0.000916000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
