Adjust 'map-&gt;pgoff' also when moving a map's start address.

Example with v5.4.34 based kernel:

  Before:

    $ sudo tools/perf/perf record -a --kcore -e intel_pt//k sleep 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.958 MB perf.data ]
    $ sudo tools/perf/perf script --itrace=e &gt;/dev/null
    Warning:
    961 instruction trace errors

  After:

    $ sudo tools/perf/perf script --itrace=e &gt;/dev/null
    $

<title>perf arm-spe: Support synthetic events</title>

<id>a54ca194981be3707213437a67792b88e08264fe</id>
<content type='text'>
After the commit ffd3d18c20b8 ("perf tools: Add ARM Statistical
Profiling Extensions (SPE) support") has been merged, it supports to
output raw data with option "--dump-raw-trace".  However, it misses for
support synthetic events so cannot output any statistical info.

This patch is to improve the "perf report" support for ARM SPE for four
types synthetic events:

  First level cache synthetic events, including L1 data cache accessing
  and missing events;
  Last level cache synthetic events, including last level cache
  accessing and missing events;
  TLB synthetic events, including TLB accessing and missing events;
  Remote access events, which is used to account load/store operations
  caused to another socket.

Example usage:

  $ perf record -c 1024 -e arm_spe_0/branch_filter=1,ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=1,store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
  $ perf report --stdio

After the commit ffd3d18c20b8 ("perf tools: Add ARM Statistical
Profiling Extensions (SPE) support") has been merged, it supports to
output raw data with option "--dump-raw-trace".  However, it misses for
support synthetic events so cannot output any statistical info.

This patch is to improve the "perf report" support for ARM SPE for four
types synthetic events:

  First level cache synthetic events, including L1 data cache accessing
  and missing events;
  Last level cache synthetic events, including last level cache
  accessing and missing events;
  TLB synthetic events, including TLB accessing and missing events;
  Remote access events, which is used to account load/store operations
  caused to another socket.

Example usage:

  $ perf record -c 1024 -e arm_spe_0/branch_filter=1,ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,load_filter=1,jitter=1,store_filter=1,min_latency=0/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
  $ perf report --stdio

<content type='text'>
This patch is to add four options to synthesize events which are
described as below:

 'f': synthesize first level cache events
 'm': synthesize last level cache events
 't': synthesize TLB events
 'a': synthesize remote access events

This four options will be used by ARM SPE as their first consumer.

<title>perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4</title>

<id>70943490784222b3fd26f5604cba71abb4d7ee6d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.

With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:

  $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....

One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

<title>perf jit: Fix inaccurate DWARF line table</title>

<id>1e4bd2ae4564adbf9f9b6d26fad65ddabd0147fc</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix an issue where addresses in the DWARF line table are offset by -0x40
(GEN_ELF_TEXT_OFFSET). This can be seen with `objdump -S` on the ELF
files after perf inject.

Committer notes:

Ian added this in his Acked-by reply:

Without too much knowledge this looks good to me. The original code came
from oprofile's jit support:

<title>perf trace: Use zalloc() to make sure all fields are zeroed in the syscalltbl constructor</title>

In the past this wasn't needed as the libaudit based code would use just
one field, and the alternative constructor would fill in all the fields,
but now that even when using the libaudit based method we need the other
fields, switch to zalloc() to make sure the other fields are zeroed at
instantiation time.

<title>perf trace: Remove union from syscalltbl, all the fields are needed</title>

<id>db6b8cc8912a8c7688429b711292e7a923556776</id>
<content type='text'>
When we moved to a syscalltbl generated from the kernel syscall tables
(arch/..../syscall*.tbl) the idea was to either use it, when having the
generator (e.g. tools/perf/arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh), or
falling back to the previous audit-libs based way of mapping syscall ids
to strings and the other way around.

At first we just needed the audit_detect_machine() return to then use it
to the str-&gt;id/id-&gt;str, or the other fields for the now used by default
in the most well developed arches method of using the syscall table
generator.

The problem is that then the libaudit code fell into disrepair, and
architectures where it is the method used are not working.

Now, with NO_SYSCALL_TABLE=1 being possible to pass on the make command
line we can automate the testing of that method even on x86-64, arm64,
etc.

And doing it I noted that we actually use fields in both entries in the
union, oops, so ditch the union, as we need all those fields at the same
time.

<title>perf record: Respect --no-switch-events</title>

Context switch events are added automatically by Intel PT and Coresight.

Make it possible to suppress them. That is useful for tracing the
scheduler without the disturbance that the switch event processing
creates.

Example:

  Prerequisites:

    $ which perf
    ~/bin/perf
    $ sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf
    $ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore

  Before:

    $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.938 MB perf.data ]
    $ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
    572

  After:

    $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
    Warning:
    Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing!
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.838 MB perf.data ]
    $ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
    0

    $ sudo chmod go-r /proc/kcore
    $ sudo setcap -r ~/bin/perf
