perf script: Fix output type for dynamically allocated core PMU's

This patch was originally posted here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

I have rebased on top of Arnaldo's patch here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/Z2XCi3PgstSrV0SE@x1/

The original commit message:
"
perf script output may show different fields on different core PMU's
that exist on heterogeneous platforms. For example,

perf record -e "{cpu_core/mem-loads-aux/,cpu_core/event=0xcd,\
umask=0x01,ldlat=3,name=MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/}:upp"\
-c10000 -W -d -a -- sleep 1

perf script:

chromium-browse 46572 [002] 544966.882384: 10000 cpu_core/MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/: 7ffdf1391b0c 10268100142 \
|OP LOAD|LVL L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A 5 7 0 7fad7c47425d [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.8000.3)

perf record -e cpu_atom/event=0xd0,umask=0x05,ldlat=3,\
name=MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/upp -c10000 -W -d -a -- sleep 1

perf script:

gnome-control-c 534224 [023] 544951.816227: 10000 cpu_atom/MEM_UOPS_RETIRED.LOAD_LATENCY/: 7f0aaaa0aae0 [unknown] (/usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.8000.3)

Some fields, such as data_src, are not included by default.

The cause is that while one PMU may be assigned a type such as
PERF_TYPE_RAW, other core PMU's are dynamically allocated at boot time.
If this value does not match an existing PERF_TYPE_X value,
output_type(perf_event_attr.type) will return OUTPUT_TYPE_OTHER.

Instead search for a core PMU with a matching perf_event_attr type
and, if one is found, return PERF_TYPE_RAW to match output of other
core PMU's.

perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optional

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two
values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes
size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian
Barnes <[email protected]> as about 2.5% when running `perf
script --itrace=i0`:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/

Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> replied that the zero
initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed.

This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the
perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and
intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the
allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To
support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit
functions are created and added throughout the code base.

perf script: Cache the output type

Right now every time we need to figure out the type of an evsel for
output purposes we do a quick sequence of ifs, but there are new cases
where there is a need to do more complex iterations over multiple data
structures, sso allow for caching this operation on a hole of 'struct
evsel'.

This should really be done on the evsel->priv area that 'perf script'
sets up, but more work is needed to make sure that it is allocated when
we need it, right now it is only used for conditionally, add some
comments so that we move this to that 'perf script' specific area when
the conditions are in place for that.

For example,

17.83% 291.1K 0.00% 1 |+ |+ |

The branch counter information (br_cntr_width and br_cntr_nr) in the
perf_env is retrieved from the CPU_PMU_CAPS. However, the CPU_PMU_CAPS
is not available on hybrid machines. Without the width information, the
number of occurrences of an event cannot be calculated.

For a hybrid machine, the caps information should be retrieved from the
PMU_CAPS, and stored in the perf_env->pmu_caps.

Add a perf_env__find_br_cntr_info() to return the correct branch counter
information from the corresponding fields.

Committer notes:

While testing I couldn't s ee those "Branch counter" columns enabled by
pressing 'B' on the TUI, after reporting it to the list Kan explained
the situation:

<quote Kan Liang>
For a hybrid client, the "Branch Counter" feature is only supported
starting from the just released Lunar Lake. Perf falls back to only
"ANY" on your Raptor Lake.

The "The branch counter is not available" message is expected.

Here is the 'perf evlist' result from my Lunar Lake machine,

# perf evlist -v

perf script: Minimize "not reaching sample" for '-F +brstackinsn'

In some situations 'perf script -F +brstackinsn' sees a lot of "not
reaching sample" messages.

This happens when the last LBR block before the sample contains a branch
that is not in the LBR, and the instruction dumping stops.

$ perf record -b emacs -Q --batch '()'
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.396 MB perf.data (443 samples) ]
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn

... not reaching sample ...

$ perf script -F +brstackinsn | grep -c reach
136
$

This is a problem for further analysis that wants to see the full code
upto the sample.

There are two common cases where the message is bogus:

- The LBR only logs taken branches, but the branch might be a
conditional branch that is not taken (that is the most common case
actually)

- The LBR sampling uses a filter ignoring some branches, but the perf
script check checks for all branches.

This patch fixes these two conditions, by only checking for conditional
branches, as well as checking the perf_event_attr's branch filter
attributes.

For the test case above it fixes all the messages:

$ ./perf script -F +brstackinsn | grep -c reach
0

Note that there are still conditions when the message is hit --
sometimes there can be a unconditional branch that misses the LBR update
before the sample -- but they are much more rare now.

perf script: Add branch counters

It's useful to print the branch counter information for each jump in
the brstackinsn when it's available.

Add a new field 'brcntr' to display the branch counter information.

By default, the abbreviation will be used to indicate the branch
counter. In the verbose mode, the real event name is shown.

perf tool: Constify tool pointers

The tool pointer (to a struct largely of function pointers) is passed
around but is unchanged except at initialization. Change parameter and
variable types to be const to lower the possibilities of what could
happen with a tool.

perf dso: Add reference count checking and accessor functions

Add reference count checking to struct dso, this can help with
implementing correct reference counting discipline. To avoid
RC_CHK_ACCESS everywhere, add accessor functions for the variables in
struct dso.

The majority of the change is mechanical in nature and not easy to
split up.

Committer testing:

'perf test' up to this patch shows no regressions.

But:

util/symbol.c: In function ‘dso__load_bfd_symbols’:
util/symbol.c:1683:9: error: too few arguments to function ‘dso__set_adjust_symbols’
1683 | dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from util/symbol.c:21:
util/dso.h:268:20: note: declared here
268 | static inline void dso__set_adjust_symbols(struct dso *dso, bool val)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[6]: *** [/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/build/Makefile.build:106: /tmp/tmp.ZWHbQftdN6/util/symbol.o] Error 1
MKDIR /tmp/tmp.ZWHbQftdN6/tests/workloads/
make[6]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This was updated:

- symbols__fixup_end(&dso->symbols, false);
- symbols__fixup_duplicate(&dso->symbols);
- dso->adjust_symbols = 1;
+ symbols__fixup_end(dso__symbols(dso), false);
+ symbols__fixup_duplicate(dso__symbols(dso));
+ dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);

But not build tested with BUILD_NONDISTRO and libbfd devel files installed
(binutils-devel on fedora).

Add the missing argument:

symbols__fixup_end(dso__symbols(dso), false);
symbols__fixup_duplicate(dso__symbols(dso));
- dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);
+ dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso, true);
