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.

Simplify the build ID reading code by removing the non-blocking option.
Having to pass the correct option to this function was fragile and a
mistake would result in a hang, see the linked fix. Furthermore,
compressed files are always opened blocking anyway, ignoring the
non-blocking option.
We also don't expect to read build IDs from non-regular files. The only
hits to this function that are non-regular are devices that won't be elf
files with build IDs, for example "/dev/dri/renderD129".
Now instead of opening these as non-blocking and failing to read, we
skip them. Even if something like a pipe or character device did have a
build ID, I don't think it would have worked because you need to call
read() in a loop, check for -EAGAIN and handle timeouts to make
non-blocking reads work.

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.

When an event/alias is created for a PMU the terms are eagerly parsed
using parse_events_terms. For a command like perf stat or perf record,
the particular event/alias will be found, the terms parsed, the
terms cloned for use in the event parsing, and then the terms used to
configure the perf_event_attr. Events/aliases may be eagerly loaded,
such as from sysfs or in perf list, in which case the aliases terms
will be little or never used. To avoid redundant work, to avoid
cloning, and to reduce memory overhead, hold the terms for an event as
a string until they need handling as a term list. This may introduce
duplicate parsing if an event is repeated in a list, but this
situation is expected to be uncommon.
Measuring the number of instructions before and after with a sysfs
event and perf stat, there is a minor reduction in the number of
instructions executed by 0.3%.

We already only test each kcore map once, but on slow systems
(particularly with network filesystems) even the non-kcore maps are
slow.
The test can test the same objdump output over and over which only wastes
time. Generalize the skipping mechanism to track all DSOs and addresses
so that each section is only tested once.
On a fully loaded ARM Juno (simulating a parallel 'perf test' run) with
a network filesystem, the original runtime is:
real 1m51.126s
user 0m19.445s
sys 1m15.431s
And the new runtime is:
real 0m48.873s
user 0m8.031s
sys 0m32.353s
Committer testing:
# perf test "code read"
22: Object code reading : Ok

When running on a hypervisor the expected IPC metric may be missing as
the events may fail to be read. Don't expect metric output for this
test to avoid it failing.
