Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Perf event/metric description:
Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event
parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.
From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information
about hardware events like the following.
$ perf list hw
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):
legacy hardware:
branch-instructions
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu]
branch-misses
[Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
branches
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
bus-cycles
[Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu]
cache-misses
[Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
cache-references
[Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]
cpu-cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu]
cycles
[Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cpu-cycles]. Unit: cpu]
instructions
[Retired instructions. Be careful,these can be affected by various issues,most notably hardware interrupt counts. Unit: cpu]
ref-cycles
[Total cycles; not affected by CPU frequency scaling. Unit: cpu]
But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side,
the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)

Deferred unwinding support:
With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd4d: "perf: Support deferred
user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack
trace with frame pointers like below:
$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...
This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
to the previous samples as if they were collected together.
ARM SPE updates
- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
register access, and SIMD operations.
- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
exclude certain data sources.
- Improve documentation.
Vendor event updates:
- Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor
Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.
- Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE
definitions.
- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.
Misc:
- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.
- Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to
enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show
which instruction is causing the cacheline contention.
- Lots of fixes and test coverage improvements!"

The mem-loads-aux event exists on hybrid systems but the "cpu" PMU
does not. This causes an event parsing error which erroneously makes
the test look like it is failing. Avoid naming the PMU to avoid
this. Rather than cleaning up perf.data in the directory the test is
run, explicitly send the 'perf record' output to /dev/null and avoid
any cleanup scripts.

Couple of independent fixes:
1. Wire in SIGSEGV handler that terminates the test with a failure code.
2. Use "--lock-cgroup" instead of "-g"; "-g" was proposed but never
merged. See commit 4d1792d0a2564caf ("perf lock contention: Add
--lock-cgroup option")
3. Call cleanup() on every normal exit so trap_cleanup() doesn't mistake
it for an unexpected signal and emit a false-negative "Unexpected
signal in main" message.

This adds test cases to verify the precise ip fallback logic:
- If the system supports precise ip, for an event given with the maximum
precision level, it should be able to decrease precise_ip to find a
supported level.
- The same fallback behavior should also work in more complex scenarios,
such as event groups or when PEBS is involved
Additional fallback tests, such as those covering missing feature cases,
can be added in the future.

The 'import perf' test needs to set up a path to the python module as
well as to know the python command to invoke.
These are hard coded at build time to be build a directory and the
python used in the build, which is less than desirable.
Avoid the hard coded values by reusing the existing shell script python
setup and determine a potential built python module via the path of the
perf executable.

Test cases from perftool_testsuite are affected by the current
directory where the test are run. For this reason, the test
driver has to change the directory to the base_dir for references to
work correctly.
Utilize absolute paths when sourcing and referencing other scripts so
that the current working directory doesn't impact the test cases.

Add the sensitivity to the test and confirm it passes with paranoia

commit edf2cadf01e8f ("perf test: add test for BPF metadata collection")
fails consistently on the version string check. The perf version
string on some of the constant integration test machines contains
characters with special meaning in grep's extended regular expression
matching algorithm. The output of perf version is:
# perf version
perf version 6.17.0-20250814.rc1.git20.24ea63ea3877.63.fc42.s390x+git
#
and the '+' character has special meaning in egrep command.
Also the use of egrep is deprecated.
Change the perf version string check to fixed character matching
and get rid of egrep's warning being deprecated. Use grep -F instead.
Output before:
# perf test -F 102
Checking BPF metadata collection
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
Basic BPF metadata test [Failed invalid output]
102: BPF metadata collection test : FAILED!
#
Output after:
# perf test -F 102

The 'kernel lock contention analysis test' requires reliable triggering
of lock contention. On some systems, previous benchmark calls failed to
generate sufficient contention due to low system activity or resource
limits.
This patch adds the -p (pipe) option to all calls of perf bench sched
messaging, ensuring consistent lock contention without relying on
socket-based communication.

The annotate test was sped up by Thomas Richter
<tmricht@linux.ibm.com> in commit
658a8805cb60 ("perf test: Speed up test case 70 annotate basic tests")
by reducing the annotate output using head. This causes flakes on
hybrid machines where the first event dumped may not have the samples
for the test within it. Rather than reduce the output using `head`
switch to `--percent-limit 10` which will stop annotate dumping
functions that have an overhead of less than 10%, the noploop program
should be using more.
Add the missing objdump option for the pipe mode version of the
objdump with a command test.
