The kernel needs to explicitly enable FSGSBASE. So, the application needs
to know if it can safely use these instructions. Just looking at the CPUID
bit is not enough because it may be running in a kernel that does not
enable the instructions.
One way for the application would be to just try and catch the SIGILL.
But that is difficult to do in libraries which may not want to overwrite
the signal handlers of the main application.
Enumerate the enabled FSGSBASE capability in bit 1 of AT_HWCAP2 in the ELF
aux vector. AT_HWCAP2 is already used by PPC for similar purposes.
The application can access it open coded or by using the getauxval()
function in newer versions of glibc.

The objdump utility has useful --prefix / --prefix-strip options to
allow changing source code file names hardcoded into executables' debug
info. Add options to 'perf report', 'perf top' and 'perf annotate',
which are then passed to objdump.

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.
This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.
We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.
It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many
operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the
overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs.
An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up
all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU.
Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model.
Used in followon patches.
Committer notes:
Use zfree() in some places, add missing stdbool.h header, some minor
coding style changes.

My earlier patch to just enable --reltime with --time was a little too
optimistic. The --time parsing would accept absolute time, which is
very confusing to the user.
Support relative time in --time parsing too. This only works with recent

The original --reltime patch forbid --time with --reltime.
But it turns out --time doesn't really care about --reltime, because the
relative time is only used at final output, while the time filtering
always works earlier on absolute time.
So just remove the check and allow combining the two options.

When the LBR data and the instructions in a binary do not match the loop
printing instructions could get confused and print a long stream of
bogus <bad> instructions.
The problem was that if the instruction decoder cannot decode an
instruction it ilen wasn't initialized, so the loop going through the
basic block would continue with the previous value.
Harden the code to avoid such problems:
- Make sure ilen is always freshly initialized and is 0 for bad
instructions.
- Do not overrun the code buffer while printing instructions
- Print a warning message if the final jump is not on an instruction
boundary.

I'm not fully sure if this is the correct fix, but without this I get
crashes on more complex perf stat metric usages. The problem is that
part of the state gets freed when a weak group fails, but then is later
still used. Just don't free the ids, we're going to reuse them anyways
on the weak group retry.
For example:
% perf stat -M IpB,IpCall,IpTB,IPC,Retiring_SMT,Frontend_Bound_SMT,Kernel_Utilization,CPU_Utilization --metric-only -a -I 1000 sleep 2
crashes and gives in valgrind:

The Memory_BW metric generates groups including duration_time, which
maps to a software event.
For some reason this makes the group always not count.
Always put duration_time outside a group when generating metrics. It's
always the same time, so no need to group it.

The metric group code tries to find a group it added earlier in the
evlist. Fix the lookup to handle groups with partially overlaps
correctly. When a sub string match fails and we reset the match, we have
to compare the first element again.
I also renamed the find_evsel function to find_evsel_group to make its
purpose clearer.

Event merging is mainly to collapse similar events in lots of different
duplicated PMUs.
It can break metric displaying. It's possible for two metrics to have
the same event, and when the two events happen in a row the second
wouldn't be displayed. This would also not show the second metric.
To avoid this don't merge events in the same PMU. This makes sense, if
we have multiple events in the same PMU there is likely some reason for
it (e.g. using multiple groups) and we better not merge them.
While in theory it would be possible to construct metrics that have
events with the same name in different PMU no current metrics have this
problem.
This is the fix for perf stat -M UPI,IPC (needs also another bug fix to
completely work)

After setting up metric groups through the event parser, the metricgroup
code looks them up again in the event list.
Make sure we only look up events that haven't been used by some other
metric. The data structures currently cannot handle more than one metric
per event. This avoids problems with multiple events partially
overlapping.

The kernel needs to explicitly enable FSGSBASE. So, the application needs
to know if it can safely use these instructions. Just looking at the CPUID
bit is not enough because it may be running in a kernel that does not
enable the instructions.
One way for the application would be to just try and catch the SIGILL.
But that is difficult to do in libraries which may not want to overwrite
the signal handlers of the main application.
Enumerate the enabled FSGSBASE capability in bit 1 of AT_HWCAP2 in the ELF
aux vector. AT_HWCAP2 is already used by PPC for similar purposes.
The application can access it open coded or by using the getauxval()
function in newer versions of glibc.

Icelake and later platforms support collecting XMM registers with PEBS
event.
Add support for 'perf script' to dump them, and support for the register
parser in 'perf record -I=' ... to configure them.
For now they are just printed in hex, we could potentially later add
other formats too.

With gcc toplevel assembler statements that do not mark themselves as .text
may end up in other sections. This causes LTO boot crashes because various
assembler statements ended up in the middle of the initcall section. It's
also a latent problem without LTO, although it's currently not known to

According to the gcc team it's expected behavior.
Always mark all the top level assembler statements as text so that they

Update all the Intel JSON metrics from Ahmad Yasin's TMAM 3.5
for Intel big core from Sandy Bridge to Cascade Lake.
This has many improvements and new metircs
- New TopDownL1_SMT group that provides a per SMT thread version
of --topdown that does not require -a anymore. The drawback is
increased multiplexing though since L1 TopDown does not fit into
4 generic counters anymore.
- Added SMT aware versions of other metrics
- Split SMT aware metrics into separate metrics to avoid
unnecessary event collections
- New metrics for better branch analysis:
Estimated Branch_Mispredict_Costs, Instructions per taken Branch,
Branch Instructions per Taken Branch, etc.
- Instruction mix metrics:
Instructions per load, Instructions per store, Instructions per Branch,
Instructions per Call
- New Cache metrics:
Bandwidth to L1/L2/L3 caches. L1/L2/L3 misses per kilo instructions.
memory level parallelism
- New memory controller metrics:
Normalized memory bandwidth in interval mode, Average memory latency,
Average number of parallel read requests,
- 3DXP persistent memory metrics for Cascade Lake:
3dxp read latency, 3dxp read/write bandwidth
- Some other useful metrics like Instruction Level Parallelism,
- Various other improvements.
Not all metrics are available on all CPUs. Skylake has best coverage.

The perf metric expression use 'duration_time' internally to normalize
events. Normal 'perf stat' without -x also prints the duration time.
But when using -x, the interval is not output anywhere, which is
inconvenient for any post processing which often wants to normalize
values to time.
So implement 'duration_time' as a proper perf event that can be
specified explicitely with -e.
The previous implementation of 'duration_time' only worked for metric
processing. This adds the concept of a tool event that is handled by the
tool. On the kernel level it is still mapped to the dummy software
event, but the values are not read anymore, but instead computed by the
tool.
Add proper plumbing to handle this in the event parser, and display it
in 'perf stat'. We don't want 'duration_time' to be added up, so it's
only printed for the first CPU.

The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite
some time because scaling is default.
It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling
code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output
code relies on value run/ena information.
Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show
its multiplex percentage.
This patch:
- Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c
- Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives.
- Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale
- And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output.

Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but
the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually.
It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in
the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number
of samples for useful analysis.
Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads
mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems.
Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per
hist entry.
Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of
samples.
Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected
sample.
It uses different menus for assembler and source display. Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.
Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to
some limitations in the slang ui code.

The scripts menu traditionally only showed custom perf scripts.
Allow to run standard perf script with useful default options too.
- Normal perf script
- perf script with assembler (needs xed installed)
- perf script with source code output (needs debuginfo)
- perf script with custom arguments
Then we automatically select the right options to display the
information in the perf.data file.
For example with -b display branch contexts.
It's not easily possible to check for xed's existence in advance. perf
script usually gives sensible error messages when it's not available.
