<content type='text'>
To allow the build to complete on older systems, where those files are
either not uptodate, lacking some recent additions or not present at
all.

And check if the copy drifts from the kernel.

This commit is similar with
commit 12f020338a2c ("tools: Copy uapi/asm/perf_regs.h from the kernel")

With this commit, we can avoid the following build error in any case:

tools/perf/arch/mips/include/perf_regs.h:7:10:
fatal error: asm/perf_regs.h: No such file or directory
 #include &lt;asm/perf_regs.h&gt;
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "perf stat:

   - Add support for hybrid PMUs to support systems such as Intel
     Alderlake and its BIG/little core/atom cpus.

   - Introduce 'bperf' to share hardware PMCs with BPF.

   - New --iostat option to collect and present IO stats on Intel
     hardware.

     This functionality is based on recently introduced sysfs attributes
     for Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family (code name Skylake-SP)
     in commit bb42b3d39781 ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Expose an Uncore
     unit to IIO PMON mapping")

     It is intended to provide four I/O performance metrics in MB per
     each PCIe root port:

       - Inbound Read: I/O devices below root port read from the host memory
       - Inbound Write: I/O devices below root port write to the host memory
       - Outbound Read: CPU reads from I/O devices below root port
       - Outbound Write: CPU writes to I/O devices below root port

   - Align CSV output for summary.

   - Clarify --null use cases: Assess raw overhead of 'perf stat' or
     measure just wall clock time.

   - Improve readability of shadow stats.

  perf record:

   - Change the COMM when starting tha workload so that --exclude-perf
     doesn't seem to be not honoured.

   - Improve 'Workload failed' message printing events + what was
     exec'ed.

   - Fix cross-arch support for TIME_CONV.

  perf report:

   - Add option to disable raw event ordering.

   - Dump the contents of PERF_RECORD_TIME_CONV in 'perf report -D'.

   - Improvements to --stat output, that shows information about
     PERF_RECORD_ events.

   - Preserve identifier id in OCaml demangler.

  perf annotate:

   - Show full source location with 'l' hotkey in the 'perf annotate'
     TUI.

   - Add line number like in TUI and source location at EOL to the 'perf
     annotate' --stdio mode.

   - Add --demangle and --demangle-kernel to 'perf annotate'.

   - Allow configuring annotate.demangle{,_kernel} in 'perf config'.

   - Fix sample events lost in stdio mode.

  perf data:

   - Allow converting a perf.data file to JSON.

  libperf:

   - Add support for user space counter access.

   - Update topdown documentation to permit rdpmc calls.

  perf test:

   - Add 'perf test' for 'perf stat' CSV output.

   - Add 'perf test' entries to test the hybrid PMU support.

   - Cleanup 'perf test daemon' if its 'perf test' is interrupted.

   - Handle metric reuse in pmu-events parsing 'perf test' entry.

   - Add test for PE executable support.

   - Add timeout for wait for daemon start in its 'perf test' entries.

  Build:

   - Enable libtraceevent dynamic linking.

   - Improve feature detection output.

   - Fix caching of feature checks caching.

   - First round of updates for tools copies of kernel headers.

   - Enable warnings when compiling BPF programs.

  Vendor specific events:

   - Intel:
      - Add missing skylake &amp; icelake model numbers.

   - arm64:
      - Add Hisi hip08 L1, L2 and L3 metrics.
      - Add Fujitsu A64FX PMU events.

   - PowerPC:
      - Initial JSON/events list for power10 platform.
      - Remove unsupported power9 metrics.

   - AMD:
      - Add Zen3 events.
      - Fix broken L2 Cache Hits from L2 HWPF metric.
      - Use lowercases for all the eventcodes and umasks.

  Hardware tracing:

   - arm64:
      - Update CoreSight ETM metadata format.
      - Fix bitmap for CS-ETM option.
      - Support PID tracing in config.
      - Detect pid in VMID for kernel running at EL2.

  Arch specific updates:

   - MIPS:
      - Support MIPS unwinding and dwarf-regs.
      - Generate mips syscalls_n64.c syscall table.

   - PowerPC:
      - Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGH_STRUCT on PowerPC.
      - Support pipeline stage cycles for powerpc.

  libbeauty:

   - Fix fsconfig generator"

Add an explicit __ignore_sync_check__ marker which will be used to mark
lines which are supposed to be ignored by file synchronization check
scripts, its advantage being that it explicitly denotes such lines in
the code.

<title>perf tools: Separate the checking of headers only used to build beautification tables</title>

Some headers are not used in building the tools directly, but instead to
generate tables that then gets source code included to do id-&gt;string and
string-&gt;id lookups for things like syscall flags and commands.

We were adding it directly to tools/include/ and this sometimes gets in
the way of building using system headers, lets untangle this a bit.

<title>perf trace beauty: Use the autogenerated protocol family table</title>
<updated>2020-08-12T11:43:51Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo</name>
<email>acme@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2020-08-12T11:43:51Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=f3cf7fa963c46391da54a0e50f54c089c9b4c450'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f3cf7fa963c46391da54a0e50f54c089c9b4c450</id>
<content type='text'>
That helps us not to lose new protocol families when they are
introduced, replacing that hardcoded, dated family-&gt;string table.

To recap what this allows us to do:

  # perf trace -e syscalls:sys_enter_socket/max-stack=10/ --filter=family==INET --max-events=1
     0.000 fetchmail/41097 syscalls:sys_enter_socket(family: INET, type: DGRAM|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK, protocol: IP)
                                       __GI___socket (inlined)
                                       reopen (/usr/lib64/libresolv-2.31.so)
                                       send_dg (/usr/lib64/libresolv-2.31.so)
                                       __res_context_send (/usr/lib64/libresolv-2.31.so)
                                       __GI___res_context_query (inlined)
                                       __GI___res_context_search (inlined)
                                       _nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r (/usr/lib64/libnss_dns-2.31.so)
                                       gaih_inet.constprop.0 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.31.so)
                                       __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined)
                                       [0x15cb2] (/usr/bin/fetchmail)
  #

More work is still needed to allow for the more natura strace-like
syscall name usage instead of the trace event name:

  # perf trace -e socket/max-stack=10,family==INET/ --max-events=1

I.e. to allow for modifiers to follow the syscall name and for logical
expressions to be accepted as filters to use with that syscall, be it as
trace event filters or BPF based ones.

Using -v we can see how the trace event filter is built:

  # perf trace -v -e syscalls:sys_enter_socket/call-graph=dwarf/ --filter=family==INET --max-events=2
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  New filter for syscalls:sys_enter_socket: (family==0x2) &amp;&amp; (common_pid != 41384 &amp;&amp; common_pid != 2836)
  &lt;SNIP&gt;

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/socket.sh | grep -w 2
	[2] = "INET",
  $

<title>perf tools: Grab a copy of libbpf's hashmap</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eee19501926d98c894f15c1644b815c7d1fbd187</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow use of hashmap in perf. Modify perf's check-headers.sh script to
check that the files are kept in sync, in the same way kernel headers
are checked. This will warn if they are out of sync at the start of a
perf build.

Committer note:

This starts out of synch as a fix went thru the bpf tree, namely the one
removing the needless libbpf_internal.h include in hashmap.h.

There is also another change related to __WORDSIZE, that as is in
tools/lib/bpf/hashmap.h causes the tools/perf/ build to fail in systems
such as Alpine Linus, that uses the Musl libc, so we need an alternative
way of having __WORDSIZE available, use the one used by
tools/include/linux/bitops.h, that builds in all the systems I have
build containers for.

These differences will be resolved at some point, so keep the warning in
check-headers.sh as a reminder.

  295bcca84916 ("linux/bits.h: add compile time sanity check of GENMASK inputs")
  3945ff37d2f4 ("linux/bits.h: Extract common header for vDSO")

To address this tools/perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/linux/bits.h' differs from latest version at 'include/linux/bits.h'
  diff -u tools/include/linux/bits.h include/linux/bits.h

This clashes with usage of userspace's static_assert(), that, at least
on glibc, is guarded by a ifnded/endif pair, do the same to our copy of
build_bug.h and avoid that diff in check_headers.sh so that we continue
checking for drifts with the kernel sources master copy.

This will all be tested with the set of build containers that includes
uCLibc, musl libc, lots of glibc versions in lots of distros and cross
build environments.

The tools/objtool, tools/bpf, etc were tested as well.
