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 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’

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);

perf tests: Apply attributes to all events in object code reading test

PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE results in multiple events being opened on
heterogeneous systems. Currently this test only sets its required
attributes on the first event. Not disabling enable_on_exec on the other
events causes the test to fail because the forked objdump processes are
sampled. No tracking event is opened so Perf only knows about its own
mappings causing the objdump samples to give the following error:

$ perf test -vvv "object code reading"

perf test: Add option to change objdump binary

All of the other Perf subcommands that use objdump have an option to
specify the binary, so add the same option to 'perf test'.

This is useful if you have built the kernel with a different toolchain
to the system one, where the system objdump may fail to disassemble
vmlinux.

Now this can be fixed with something like this:

$ perf test --objdump llvm-objdump "object code reading"

perf test: Simplify "object code reading" test

It tries cycles (or cpu-clock on s390) event with exclude_kernel bit to
open. But other arch on a VM can fail with the hardware event and need
to fallback to the software event in the same way.

So let's get rid of the cpuid check and use generic fallback mechanism
using an array of event candidates. Now event in the odd index excludes
the kernel so use that for the return value.

tools/perf/tests: Fix object code reading to skip address that falls out of text section

The testcase "Object code reading" fails in somecases
for "fs_something" sub test as below:

Reading object code for memory address: 0xc008000007f0142c
File is: /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
On file address is: 0x1114cc
Objdump command is: objdump -z -d --start-address=0x11142c --stop-address=0x1114ac /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
objdump read too few bytes: 128
test child finished with -1

This can alo be reproduced when running perf record with
workload that exercises fs_something() code. In the test
setup, this is exercising xfs code since root is xfs.

# perf record ./a.out
# perf report -v |grep "xfs.ko"
0.76% a.out /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko 0xc008000007de5efc B [k] xlog_cil_commit
0.74% a.out /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko 0xc008000007d5ae18 B [k] xfs_btree_key_offset
0.74% a.out /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko 0xc008000007e11fd4 B [k] 0x0000000000112074

Here addr "0xc008000007e11fd4" is not resolved. since this is a
kernel module, its offset is from the DSO. Xfs module is loaded
at 0xc008000007d00000

# cat /proc/modules | grep xfs
xfs 2228224 3 - Live 0xc008000007d00000

And size is 0x220000. So its loaded between  0xc008000007d00000
and 0xc008000007f20000. From objdump, text section is:
text 0010f7bc 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000a0 2**4

Hence perf captured ip maps to 0x112074 which is:
( ip - start of module ) + a0

This offset 0x112074 falls out .text section which is up to 0x10f7bc
In this case for module, the address 0xc008000007e11fd4 is pointing
to stub instructions. This address range represents the module stubs
which is allocated on module load and hence is not part of DSO offset.

To address this issue in "object code reading", skip the sample if
address falls out of text section and is within the module end.
Use the "text_end" member of "struct dso" to do this check.

To address this issue in "perf report", exploring an option of
having stubs range as part of the /proc/kallsyms, so that perf
report can resolve addresses in stubs range

However this patch uses text_end to skip the stub range for
Object code reading testcase.

thread->nsinfo wasn't wrapped as it is used together with
nsinfo__zput(), where does a trick to set the field with a refcount
being dropped to NULL, and that doesn't work well with using
thread__nsinfo(thread), that loses the &thread->nsinfo pointer.

When refcount checking is added to 'struct thread', later in this
series, nsinfo__zput(RC_CHK_ACCESS(thread)->nsinfo) will be used to
check the thread pointer.

perf map: Add accessor for dso

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, with
dso being the most frequently accessed variable. Add an accessor so
that the reference count check is only necessary in one place.

Additional changes:
- add a dso variable to avoid repeated map__dso calls.
- in builtin-mem.c dump_raw_samples, code only partially tested for
dso == NULL. Make the possibility of NULL consistent.
- in thread.c thread__memcpy fix use of spaces and use tabs.

This is

perf tests: Fix flaky test 'Object code reading'

This test occasionally fails on aarch64 when a sample is taken in
free@plt and it fails with "Bytes read differ from those read by
objdump".

This is because that symbol is near a section boundary in the elf file.
Despite the -z option to always output zeros, objdump uses
bfd_map_over_sections() to iterate through the elf file so it doesn't
see outside of the sections where these zeros are and can't print them.

For example this boundary proceeds free@plt in libc with a gap of 48
bytes between .plt and .text:

objdump -d -z --start-address=0x23cc8 --stop-address=0x23d08 libc-2.30.so

libc-2.30.so: file format elf64-littleaarch64

Disassembly of section .plt:

0000000000023cc8 <*ABS*+0x7fd00@plt+0x8>:
23cc8: 91018210 add x16, x16, #0x60
23ccc: d61f0220 br x17

Disassembly of section .text:

0000000000023d00 <abort@@GLIBC_2.17-0x98>:
23d00: a9bf7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
23d04: 910003fd mov x29, sp

Taking a sample in free@plt is very rare because it is so small, but the
test can be forced to fail almost every time on any platform by linking
the test with a shared library that has a single empty function and
calling it in a loop.

The fix is to zero the buffers so that when there is a jump in the
addresses output by objdump, zeros are already filled in between.
