Perf fails to parse uncore event alias, for example:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'unc_m_clockticks'
                       \___ parser error

Current code assumes that the event alias is from one specific PMU.

To find the PMU, perf strcmps the PMU name of event alias with the real
PMU name on the system.

However, the uncore event alias may be from multiple PMUs with common
prefix. The PMU name of uncore event alias is the common prefix.

For example, UNC_M_CLOCKTICKS is clock event for iMC, which include 6
PMUs with the same prefix "uncore_imc" on a skylake server.

The real PMU names on the system for iMC are uncore_imc_0 ...
uncore_imc_5.

The strncmp is used to only check the common prefix for uncore event
alias.

With the patch:

  # perf stat -e unc_m_clockticks -a --no-merge sleep 1
  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       723,594,722      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_5]
       724,001,954      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_3]
       724,042,655      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_1]
       724,161,001      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_4]
       724,293,713      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_2]
       724,340,901      unc_m_clockticks [uncore_imc_0]

Unlike python2, python3 strings are not compatible with byte strings.
That results in disassembly not working for the branches reports. Fixup
those places overlooked in the port to python3.

pyside version 1 fails to handle python3 large integers in some cases,
resulting in Qt getting into a never-ending loop. This affects:
	samples Table
	samples_view Table
	All branches Report
	Selected branches Report

Add workarounds for those cases.

<title>perf machine: Update kernel map address and re-order properly</title>

<id>977c7a6d1e263ff1d755f28595b99e4bc0c48a9f</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 1fb87b8e9599 ("perf machine: Don't search for active kernel
start in __machine__create_kernel_maps"), the __machine__create_kernel_maps()
just create a map what start and end are both zero. Though the address will be
updated later, the order of map in the rbtree may be incorrect.

The commit ee05d21791db ("perf machine: Set main kernel end address properly")
fixed the logic in machine__create_kernel_maps(), but it's still wrong in
function machine__process_kernel_mmap_event().

To reproduce this issue, we need an environment which the module address
is before the kernel text segment. I tested it on an aarch64 machine with
kernel 4.19.25:

  [root@localhost hulk]# grep _stext /proc/kallsyms
  ffff000008081000 T _stext

To pick up the changes introduced in the following csets:

  2b188cc1bb85 ("Add io_uring IO interface")
  edafccee56ff ("io_uring: add support for pre-mapped user IO buffers")
  3eb39f47934f ("signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall")

This makes 'perf trace' to become aware of these new syscalls, so that
one can use them like 'perf trace -e ui_uring*,*signal' to do a system
wide strace-like session looking at those syscalls, for instance.

For example:

  # perf trace -s io_uring-cp ~acme/isos/RHEL-x86_64-dvd1.iso ~/bla

More work needed to make the tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
BPF program to copy the 'struct io_uring_params' arguments to perf's ring
buffer so that 'perf trace' can use the BTF info put in place by pahole's
conversion of the kernel DWARF and then auto-beautify those arguments.

This patch produces the expected change in the generated syscalls table

To pick up the changes introduced in the following csets:

  2b188cc1bb85 ("Add io_uring IO interface")
  edafccee56ff ("io_uring: add support for pre-mapped user IO buffers")
  3eb39f47934f ("signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall")

This makes 'perf trace' to become aware of these new syscalls, so that
one can use them like 'perf trace -e ui_uring*,*signal' to do a system
wide strace-like session looking at those syscalls, for instance.

For example:

  # perf trace -s io_uring-cp ~acme/isos/RHEL-x86_64-dvd1.iso ~/bla

To deal with the move of some defines from asm-generic/mmap-common.h to
linux/mman.h done in:

  746c9398f5ac ("arch: move common mmap flags to linux/mman.h")

The generated mmap_flags array stays the same:

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/mmap_flags.sh
  static const char *mmap_flags[] = {
	[ilog2(0x40) + 1] = "32BIT",
	[ilog2(0x01) + 1] = "SHARED",
	[ilog2(0x02) + 1] = "PRIVATE",
	[ilog2(0x10) + 1] = "FIXED",
	[ilog2(0x20) + 1] = "ANONYMOUS",
	[ilog2(0x100000) + 1] = "FIXED_NOREPLACE",
	[ilog2(0x0100) + 1] = "GROWSDOWN",
	[ilog2(0x0800) + 1] = "DENYWRITE",
	[ilog2(0x1000) + 1] = "EXECUTABLE",
	[ilog2(0x2000) + 1] = "LOCKED",
	[ilog2(0x4000) + 1] = "NORESERVE",
	[ilog2(0x8000) + 1] = "POPULATE",
	[ilog2(0x10000) + 1] = "NONBLOCK",
	[ilog2(0x20000) + 1] = "STACK",
	[ilog2(0x40000) + 1] = "HUGETLB",
	[ilog2(0x80000) + 1] = "SYNC",
  };
  $

And to have the system's sys/mman.h find the definition of MAP_SHARED
and MAP_PRIVATE, make sure they are defined in the tools/ mman-common.h
in a way that keeps it the same as the kernel's, need for keeping the
Android's NDK cross build working.

<title>perf evsel: Fix max perf_event_attr.precise_ip detection</title>

<id>4e8a5c1551370ebc0fbdb8f5c33dad13e45bdc99</id>
<content type='text'>
After a discussion with Andi, move the perf_event_attr.precise_ip
detection for maximum precise config (via :P modifier or for default
cycles event) to perf_evsel__open().

The current detection in perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() is
tricky, because precise_ip config is specific for given event and it
currently checks only hw cycles.

We now check for valid precise_ip value right after failing
sys_perf_event_open() for specific event, before any of the
perf_event_attr fallback code gets executed.

This way we get the proper config in perf_event_attr together with
allowed precise_ip settings.

We can see that code activity with -vv, like:

  $ perf record -vv ls
  ...
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  perf_event_attr:
    size                             112

A TSC packet can slip past MTC packets so that the timestamp appears to
go backwards. One estimate is that can be up to about 40 CPU cycles,
which is certainly less than 0x1000 TSC ticks, but accept slippage an
order of magnitude more to be on the safe side.

The following error was thrown when compiling `tools/perf` using OpenCSD
v0.11.1. This patch fixes said error.

    CC       util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-log.o
    CC       util/cs-etm-decoder/cs-etm-decoder.o
  util/cs-etm-decoder/cs-etm-decoder.c: In function

  util/cs-etm-decoder/cs-etm-decoder.c:370:2: error: enumeration value
  ‘OCSD_INSTR_WFI_WFE’ not handled in switch [-Werror=switch-enum]
    switch (elem-&gt;last_i_type) {
    ^~~~~~
    CC       util/intel-pt-decoder/intel-pt-decoder.o
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Because `OCSD_INSTR_WFI_WFE` case was added only in v0.11.0, the minimum
required OpenCSD library version for this patch is no longer v0.10.0.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo:

BPF:

  Song Liu:

  - Add support for annotating BPF programs, using the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
    and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL recently added to the kernel and plugging
    binutils's libopcodes disassembly of BPF programs with the existing
    annotation interfaces in 'perf annotate', 'perf report' and 'perf top'
    various output formats (--stdio, --stdio2, --tui).

perf list:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Filter metrics when using substring search.

perf record:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Allow to limit number of reported perf.data files

  - Clarify help for --switch-output.

perf report:

  Andi Kleen

  - Indicate JITed code better.

  - Show all sort keys in help output.

perf script:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Support relative time.

perf stat:

  Andi Kleen:

  - Improve scaling.

General:

  Changbin Du:

  - Fix some mostly error path memory and reference count leaks found
    using gcc's ASan and UBSan.

Vendor events:

  Mamatha Inamdar:

  - Remove P8 HW events which are not supported.
