perf jevents: Autogenerate empty-pmu-events.c

empty-pmu-events.c exists so that builds may occur without python
being installed on a system. Manually updating empty-pmu-events.c to
be in sync with jevents.py is a pain, let's use jevents.py to generate
empty-pmu-events.c.

1) change jevents.py so that an arch and model of none cause
generation of a pmu-events.c without any json. Add a SPDX and
autogenerated warning to the start of the file.

2) change Build so that if a generated pmu-events.c for arch none and
model none doesn't match empty-pmu-events.c the build fails with a
cat of the differences. Update Makefile.perf to clean up the files
used for this.

3) update empty-pmu-events.c to match the output of jevents.py with
arch and mode of none.

Committer notes:

The firtst paragraph is confusing, so I asked and Ian further clarified:

---
The requirement for python hasn't changed.

Case 1: no python or NO_JEVENTS=1
Build happens using empty-pmu-events.c that is checked in, no python
is required.

Case 2: python
pmu-events.c is created by jevents.py (requiring python) and then built.
This change adds a step where the empty-pmu-events.c is created using
jevents.py and that file is diffed against the checked in version.

This stops the checked in empty-pmu-events.c diverging if changes are
made to jevents.py. If the diff causes the build to fail then you just
copy the diff empty-pmu-events.c over the checked in one.

perf build: Update build rule for generated files

The bison and flex generate C files from the source (.y and .l)
files. When O= option is used, they are saved in a separate directory
but the default build rule assumes the .C files are in the source
directory. So it might read invalid file if there are generated files
from an old version. The same is true for the pmu-events files.

For example, the following command would cause a build failure:

$ git checkout v6.3
$ make -C tools/perf # build in the same directory

$ git checkout v6.5-rc2
$ mkdir build # create a build directory
$ make -C tools/perf O=build # build in a different directory but it
# refers files in the source directory

Let's update the build rule to specify those cases explicitly to depend
on the files in the output directory.

Note that it's not a complete fix and it needs the next patch for the
include path too.

However, normal execution will just show the TEST line.

This is roughly modeled on fortify testing in the kernel lib directory.

Modify metric_test.py so that it is executable. This is necessary when
PYTHON isn't specified in the build, the normal case.

Use variables to make the paths to files clearer and more consistent.

Committer notes:

Add pmu-events/metric_test.log to tools/perf/.gitignore and to the
'clean' target on tools/perf/Makefile.perf.

perf jevents: Parse metrics during conversion

Currently the 'MetricExpr' json value is passed from the json
file to the pmu-events.c. This change introduces an expression
tree that is parsed into. The parsing is done largely by using
operator overloading and python's 'eval' function. Two advantages
in doing this are:

1) Broken metrics fail at compile time rather than relying on
`perf test` to detect. `perf test` remains relevant for checking
event encoding and actual metric use.

2) The conversion to a string from the tree can minimize the metric's
string size, for example, preferring 1e6 over 1000000, avoiding
multiplication by 1 and removing unnecessary whitespace. On x86
this reduces the string size by 2,930bytes (0.07%).

In future changes it would be possible to programmatically
generate the json expressions (a single line of text and so a
pain to write manually) for an architecture using the expression
tree. This could avoid copy-pasting metrics for all architecture
variants.

v4. Doesn't simplify "0*SLOTS" to 0, as the pattern is used to fix
Intel metrics with topdown events.
v3. Avoids generic types on standard types like set that aren't
supported until Python 3.9, fixing an issue with Python 3.6
reported-by John Garry. v3 also fixes minor pylint issues and adds
a call to Simplify on the read expression tree.
v2. Improvements to type information.

perf vendor events: Add support for arch standard events

For some architectures (like arm), there are architecture- defined
events. Sometimes these events may be "recommended" according to the
architecture standard, in that the implementer is free ignore the
"recommendation" and create its custom event.

This patch adds support for parsing standard events from arch-defined
JSONs, and fixing up vendor events when they have implemented these
events as standard.

Support is also ensured that the vendor may implement their own custom
events.

A new step is added to the pmu events parsing to fix up the vendor
events with the arch-standard events.

The arch-defined JSONs must be placed in the arch root folder for
preprocessing prior to tree JSON processing.

In the vendor JSON, to specify that the arch event is supported, the
keyword "ArchStdEvent" should be used, like this:

[
{
"ArchStdEvent": "L1D_CACHE_WR",
},
]

Matching is based on the "EventName" field in the architecture JSON.

No other JSON objects are strictly required. However, for other objects
added, these take precedence over architecture defined standard events,
thus supporting separate events which have the same event code.

In file included from util/event.c:2:0:
tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:4:27: fatal error: uapi/asm/mman.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Fix this issue by using SRCARCH instead of ARCH in perf, just like the
main kernel Makefile and tools/objtool's.

perf jevents: Program to convert JSON file

This is a modified version of an earlier patch by Andi Kleen.

We expect architectures to create JSON files describing the performance
monitoring (PMU) events that each CPU model/family of the architecture
supports.

Following is an example of the JSON file entry for an x86 event:

[
...
{
"EventCode": "0x00",
"UMask": "0x01",
"EventName": "INST_RETIRED.ANY",
"BriefDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
"PublicDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
"Counter": "Fixed counter 1",
"CounterHTOff": "Fixed counter 1",
"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
"MSRIndex": "0",
"MSRValue": "0",
"TakenAlone": "0",
"CounterMask": "0",
"Invert": "0",
"AnyThread": "0",
"EdgeDetect": "0",
"PEBS": "0",
"PRECISE_STORE": "0",
"Errata": "null",
"Offcore": "0"
},
...

]

All the PMU events supported by a CPU model/family must be grouped into
"topics" such as "Pipelining", "Floating-point", "Virtual-memory" etc.

All events belonging to a topic must be placed in a separate JSON file
(eg: "Pipelining.json") and all the topic JSON files for a CPU model must
be in a separate directory.

Eg: for the CPU model "Silvermont_core":

$ ls tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core
Floating-point.json
Memory.json
Other.json
Pipelining.json
Virtualmemory.json

Finally, to allow multiple CPU models to share a single set of JSON files,
architectures must provide a mapping between a model and its set of events:

$ grep Silvermont tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv
GenuineIntel-6-4D,V13,Silvermont_core,core
GenuineIntel-6-4C,V13,Silvermont_core,core

which maps each CPU, identified by [vendor, family, model, version, type]
to a directory of JSON files. Thus two (or more) CPU models support the
set of PMU events listed in the directory.

tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core/

Given this organization of files, the program, jevents:

- locates all JSON files for each CPU-model of the architecture,

- parses all JSON files for the CPU-model and generates a C-style
"PMU-events table" (pmu-events.c) for the model

- locates a mapfile for the architecture

- builds a global table, mapping each model of CPU to the corresponding
PMU-events table.

The 'pmu-events.c' is generated when building perf and added to libperf.a.
The global table pmu_events_map[] table in this pmu-events.c will be used
in perf in a follow-on patch.

If the architecture does not have any JSON files or there is an error in
processing them, an empty mapping file is created. This would allow the
build of perf to proceed even if we are not able to provide aliases for
events.

The parser for JSON files allows parsing Intel style JSON event files. This
allows to use an Intel event list directly with perf. The Intel event lists
can be quite large and are too big to store in unswappable kernel memory.

The conversion from JSON to C-style is straight forward. The parser knows
(very little) Intel specific information, and can be easily extended to
handle fields for other CPUs.

The parser code is partially shared with an independent parsing library,
which is 2-clause BSD licensed. To avoid any conflicts I marked those
files as BSD licensed too. As part of perf they become GPLv2.

Committer notes:

Fixes:

1) Limit maxfds to 512 to avoid nftd() segfaulting on alloca() with a
big rlim_max, as in docker containers - acme

2) Make jevents a hostprog, supporting cross compilation - jolsa

3) Use HOSTCC for jevents final step - acme

4) Define _GNU_SOURCE for asprintf, as we can't use CC's EXTRA_CFLAGS,
that has to have --sysroot on the Android NDK 24 - acme

5) Removed $(srctree)/tools/perf/pmu-events/pmu-events.c from the
'clean' target, it is generated on $(OUTPUT)pmu-events/pmu-events.c,
which is already taken care of in the original patch - acme
