perf record: Make logs more readable for event open failures
Since commit
ee27476fa3004f83 ("perf record: Skip don't fail for events

event, perf reports:
perf record -e cs_etm// -C 3 -- ls

No fallback found for 'dummy:u' for error 13

perf kvm stat: Remove use of the arch directory
`perf kvm stat` supports record and report options.
By using the arch directory a report for a different machine type cannot
be supported.
Move the kvm-stat code out of the arch directory and into
util/kvm-stat-arch following the pattern of perf-regs and dwarf-regs.
Avoid duplicate symbols by renaming functions to have the architecture
name within them.
For global variables, wrap them in an architecture specific function.
Selecting the architecture to use with `perf kvm stat` is selected by
EM_HOST, ie no different than before the change.
Later the ELF machine can be determined from the session or a header
feature (ie EM_HOST at the time of the record).
The build and #define HAVE_KVM_STAT_SUPPORT is now redundant so remove
across Makefiles and in the build.
Opportunistically constify architectural structs and arrays.

libperf build: Always place libperf includes first
When building tools/perf the CFLAGS can contain a directory for the
installed headers.
As the headers may be being installed while building libperf.a this can
cause headers to be partially installed and found in the include path
while building an object file for libperf.a.
The installed header may reference other installed headers that are
missing given the partial nature of the install and then the build fails
with a missing header file.
Avoid this by ensuring the libperf source headers are always first in

perf jevents: Add load event JSON to verify and allow fallbacks
Add a LoadEvents function that loads all event JSON files in a
directory.
In the Event constructor ensure all events are defined in the event JSON
except for legacy events like "cycles".
If the initial event isn't found then legacy_event1 is used, and if that
isn't found legacy_event2 is used.
This allows a single Event to have multiple event names as models will
often rename the same event over time. If the event doesn't exist an
exception is raised.
So that references to metrics can be added, add the MetricRef
class. This doesn't validate as an event name and so provides an
escape hatch for metrics to refer to each other.

perf util: Fix NULL check in cpumask_to_cpulist()
The function cpumask_to_cpulist() allocates memory with calloc() and
stores the result in 'bm', but then incorrectly checks 'cpumask' for
NULL instead of 'bm'.
This means that if the allocation fails, the function will dereference a
NULL pointer when trying to access 'bm'.
Fix the check to test the correct variable 'bm'.

perf jevents: Handle deleted JSONS in out of source builds
Make the source folders a dependency for the generated folder root so
that whenever a file is deleted from the source it will force a new
fresh copy of all the JSON files and avoid stale deleted files.
JSON_DIRS_OUTPUT_ROOT needs to be a dependency of LEGACY_CACHE_JSON so
that the root folder doesn't get cleaned after the legacy JSON is
generated. But this is a no-op with in-source builds as
JSON_DIRS_OUTPUT_ROOT is unset.
JSON_DIRS is added as a dependency of PMU_EVENTS_C which also forces a
re-build for in source builds when JSON files are deleted. This could
have also resulted in stale builds, but never a broken one.

it keeps pointers to the temporary string introduced to avoid touching

This is because the thread_map__new_by_[pt]id_str() were the only
methods using the slist->dont_dupstr knob to keep pointers to the
original const string list, as it uses strtol to parse numbers and it
stops at the comma.
As this is the only case of dont_dupstr use, dupstr being the default,

remove this knob, with it:

perf session: Print all machines in session dump
perf_session__fprintf() prints only the host.
This has been changed to print details of host and all guests, by

These are visible when using high verbosity (-vvvv) in KVM environments,
during perf report dumps.
Testing:
- Test 1: Record the local machine and guest VM using 'perf kvm record' and
generate the report using 'perf kvm report -vvvv -D'. The dump should show
the threads and other details related to local and guest machine.
- 1 Ubuntu VM running on Fedora host
- VM is running a noisy program =>

- On host run =>
$ sudo ./perf kvm --guestvmlinux=/tmp/shared/guest_vmlinux \
--guestkallsyms=/tmp/shared/guest_kallsyms \
--guestmodules=/tmp/shared/guest_modules \
record -a -g -o perf.data.guest
and exit after a few seconds.
[ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.150 MB perf.data.guest \
(29311 samples) ]
- Generate dump =>
$ sudo ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/shared/guest_kallsyms \
report -vvvv -D -i perf.data.guest > output.txt
- Check for threads associated with guest machine.
$ grep "Thread 0" output.txt

- Test 2: Record the local machine and guest VM using 'perf kvm record' and
generate the report using 'perf kvm report'. The functions running on
guest VM should be seen in the report.
- Same setup as Test 1 but the test looks at the performance profile,
to check if the function names are visible.
- Peek into profile using =>
$ sudo ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/shared/guest_kallsyms \
report -i perf.data.guest

To conclude, information is collected for both VMs and not listed
as two different guest machines.
PASS
- Test 4: Check if any guest-related information is printed in
perf annotate. This test is included because the command calls
perf_session__fprintf() in its code path when using -vvvv option.
This could be explained by inability / lack of options for 'perf annotate'
to look into guest VM from host machine, due to no option to specify the
guest's kallsyms or modules. A similar explanation for 'perf mem' could
be used, as perf_session__fprintf() is also present in its code path.
- Run annotate =>
$ sudo ./perf annotate -i perf.data.guest -vvvv > output.txt
- Check for threads from local machine or guest VM =>
$ grep "Thread 0" output.txt
Thread 0 swapper
Threads from local machine are found while threads from guest VM
are not found. It is possibly because of a lack of a guest kallsyms
option for DSO matching in perf annotate.
PASS
- Test 5: Run kvm test available on perf path
- $ sudo ./perf test kvm

tools headers: Go back to include asm-generic/unistd.h for arm64
The header unistd.h is included under Arm64's uAPI folder (see
tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/), but it does not include its
dependent header unistd_64.h.
The intention is for unistd_64.h to be generated dynamically using
scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.
However, this dynamic approach causes problems because the header is not
available early enough, even though it is widely included throughout
tools.
Using the perf build as an example:
1) Feature detection: Perf first runs feature tests.
The BPF feature program test-bpf.c includes unistd.h. Since
unistd_64.h has not been generated yet, the program fails to build,
and the BPF feature ends up being disabled.
2) libperf build:
The libperf Makefile later generates unistd_64.h on the fly, so
libperf itself builds successfully.
3) Final perf build:
Although the perf binary can build successfully using the generated
header, we never get a chance to build BPF skeleton programs,
because BPF support was already disabled earlier.
Restore to include asm-generic/unistd.h for fixing the issue. This
aligns with most architectures (x86 is a special case that keeps
unistd_32.h/unistd_64.h for its particular syscall numbers) and ensures
the header is available from the start.

- Fix a crash with passing a stacktrace between synthetic events
A synthetic event is an event that combines two events into a single
event that can display fields from both events as well as the time
delta that took place between the events. It can also pass a
stacktrace from the first event so that it can be displayed by the
synthetic event (this is useful to get a stacktrace of a task
scheduling out when blocked and recording the time it was blocked
for).
A synthetic event can also connect an existing synthetic event to
another event. An issue was found that if the first synthetic event
had a stacktrace as one of its fields, and that stacktrace field was
passed to the new synthetic event to be displayed, it would crash the
kernel. This was due to the stacktrace not being saved as a
stacktrace but was still marked as one. When the stacktrace was read,
it would try to read an array but instead read the integer metadata
of the stacktrace and dereferenced a bad value.
Fix this by saving the stacktrace field as a stacktrace.
- Fix possible overflow in cmp_mod_entry() compare function
A binary search is used to find a module address and if the addresses
are greater than 2GB apart it could lead to truncation and cause a
bad search result. Use normal compares instead of a subtraction
between addresses to calculate the compare value.
- Fix output of entry arguments in function graph tracer
Depending on the configurations enabled, the entry can be two
different types that hold the argument array. The macro
FGRAPH_ENTRY_ARGS() is used to find the correct arguments from the
given type. One location was missed and still referenced the
arguments directly via entry->args and could produce the wrong value
depending on how the kernel was configured.
- Fix memory leak in scripts/tracepoint-update build tool
If the array fails to allocate, the memory for the values needs to be
freed and was not. Free the allocated values if the array failed to
