[ Upstream commit 53d067feb8c4f16d1f24ce3f4df4450bb18c555f ]

The feature test programs are built without enabling '-Wall -Werror'
options. As a result, a feature may appear to be available, but later
building in perf can fail with stricter checks.

Make the feature test program use the same warning options as perf.

<title>perf: build: Setup PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR for cross compilation</title>

commit 440cf77625e300e683ca0edc39fbc4b6f3175feb upstream.

On recent Linux distros like Ubuntu Noble and Debian Bookworm, the
'pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu' package is missing. As a result, the
aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config command is not available, which causes
build failures.

When a build passes the environment variables PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR or
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, like a user uses make command or a build system
(like Yocto, Buildroot, etc) prepares the variables and passes to the
Perf's Makefile, the commit keeps these variables for package
configuration. Otherwise, this commit sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
variable to use the Multiarch libs for the cross compilation.

[ Upstream commit 2dbba30fd69b604802a9535b74bddb5bcca23793 ]

Since commit d927ef5004ef ("perf cs-etm: Add exception level consistency
check"), the exception that was added to Perf will be triggered unless
the following bugfix from OpenCSD is present:

 - _Version 1.2.1_:
  - __Bugfix__:
    ETM4x / ETE - output of context elements to client can in some
    circumstances be delayed until after subsequent atoms have been
    processed leading to incorrect memory decode access via the client
    callbacks. Fixed to flush context elements immediately they are
    committed.

Rather than remove the assert and silently fail, just increase the
minimum version requirement to avoid hard to debug issues and
regressions.

When removing the BPF event for perf a feature test that checks if the
llvm devel files are availabe was removed but that is also used by
bpftool.

bpftool uses it to decide what kind of disassembly it will use: llvm or
binutils based.

Removing the tools/build/feature/test-llvm.cpp file made bpftool to
always fallback to binutils disassembly, even with the llvm devel files
installed, fix it by restoring just that small test-llvm.cpp test file.

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "perf tools maintainership:

   - Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees and
     branches to the MAINTAINERS file. That is where development now
     takes place and myself and Namhyung Kim have write access, more
     people to come as we emulate other maintainer groups.

  perf record:

   - Record kernel data maps when 'perf record --data' is used, so that
     global variables can be resolved and used in tools that do data
     profiling.

  perf trace:

   - Remove the old, experimental support for BPF events in which a .c
     file was passed as an event: "perf trace -e hello.c" to then get
     compiled and loaded.

     The only known usage for that, that shipped with the kernel as an
     example for such events, augmented the raw_syscalls tracepoints and
     was converted to a libbpf skeleton, reusing all the user space
     components and the BPF code connected to the syscalls.

     In the end just the way to glue the BPF part and the user space
     type beautifiers changed, now being performed by libbpf skeletons.

     The next step is to use BTF to do pretty printing of all syscall
     types, as discussed with Alan Maguire and others.

     Now, on a perf built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 we get most if not all
     path/filenames/strings, some of the networking data structures,
     perf_event_attr, etc, i.e. systemwide tracing of nanosleep calls
     and perf_event_open syscalls while 'perf stat' runs 'sleep' for 5
     seconds:

      # perf trace -a -e *nanosleep,perf* perf stat -e cycles,instructions sleep 5

  perf annotate:

   - Building with binutils' libopcode now is opt-in (BUILD_NONDISTRO=1)
     for licensing reasons, and we missed a build test on
     tools/perf/tests makefile.

     Since we now default to NDEBUG=1, we ended up segfaulting when
     building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 because a needed initialization
     routine was being "error checked" via an assert.

     Fix it by explicitly checking the result and aborting instead if it
     fails.

     We better back propagate the error, but at least 'perf annotate' on
     samples collected for a BPF program is back working when perf is
     built with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

  perf report/top:

   - Add back TUI hierarchy mode header, that is seen when using 'perf
     report/top --hierarchy'.

   - Fix the number of entries for 'e' key in the TUI that was
     preventing navigation of lines when expanding an entry.

  perf report/script:

   - Support cross platform register handling, allowing a perf.data file
     collected on one architecture to have registers sampled correctly
     displayed when analysis tools such as 'perf report' and 'perf
     script' are used on a different architecture.

   - Fix handling of event attributes in pipe mode, i.e. when one uses:

  	perf record -o - | perf report -i -

     When no perf.data files are used.

   - Handle files generated via pipe mode with a version of perf and
     then read also via pipe mode with a different version of perf,
     where the event attr record may have changed, use the record size
     field to properly support this version mismatch.

  perf probe:

   - Accessing global variables from uprobes isn't supported, make the
     error message state that instead of stating that some minimal
     kernel version is needed to have that feature. This seems just a
     tool limitation, the kernel probably has all that is needed.

  perf tests:

   - Fix a reference count related leak in the dlfilter v0 API where the
     result of a thread__find_symbol_fb() is not matched with an
     addr_location__exit() to drop the reference counts of the resolved
     components (machine, thread, map, symbol, etc). Add a dlfilter test
     to make sure that doesn't regresses.

   - Lots of fixes for the 'perf test' written in shell script related
     to problems found with the shellcheck utility.

   - Fixes for 'perf test' shell scripts testing features enabled when
     perf is built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, such as 'perf stat' bpf
     counters.

   - Add perf record sample filtering test, things like the following
     example, that gets implemented as a BPF filter attached to the
     event:

       # perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip &lt; 0xffffffff00000000'

   - Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is
     linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more
     expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.

   - Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well
     via the RiscV tree, same contents).

  libperf:

   - Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree,
     same contents).

  perf script:

   - New tool that converts perf.data files to the firefox profiler
     format so that one can use the visualizer at
     https://profiler.firefox.com/. Done by Anup Sharma as part of this
     year's Google Summer of Code.

     One can generate the output and upload it to the web interface but
     Anup also automated everything:

       perf script gecko -F 99 -a sleep 60

   - Support syscall name parsing on arm64.

   - Print "cgroup" field on the same line as "comm".

  perf bench:

   - Add new 'uprobe' benchmark to measure the overhead of uprobes
     with/without BPF programs attached to it.

   - breakpoints are not available on power9, skip that test.

  perf stat:

   - Add #num_cpus_online literal to be used in 'perf stat' metrics, and
     add this extra 'perf test' check that exemplifies its purpose:

  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus_online",
                         expr__parse(&amp;num_cpus_online, ctx, "#num_cpus_online") == 0);
  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus", expr__parse(&amp;num_cpus, ctx, "#num_cpus") == 0);
  	TEST_ASSERT_VAL("#num_cpus &gt;= #num_cpus_online", num_cpus &gt;= num_cpus_online);

  Miscellaneous:

   - Improve tool startup time by lazily reading PMU, JSON, sysfs data.

   - Improve error reporting in the parsing of events, passing YYLTYPE
     to error routines, so that the output can show were the parsing
     error was found.

   - Add 'perf test' entries to check the parsing of events
     improvements.

   - Fix various leak for things detected by -fsanitize=address, mostly
     things that would be freed at tool exit, including:

       - Free evsel-&gt;filter on the destructor.

       - Allow tools to register a thread-&gt;priv destructor and use it in
         'perf trace'.

       - Free evsel-&gt;priv in 'perf trace'.

       - Free string returned by synthesize_perf_probe_point() when the
         caller fails to do all it needs.

   - Adjust various compiler options to not consider errors some
     warnings when building with broken headers found in things like
     python, flex, bison, as we otherwise build with -Werror. Some for
     gcc, some for clang, some for some specific version of those, some
     for some specific version of flex or bison, or some specific
     combination of these components, bah.

   - Allow customization of clang options for BPF target, this helps
     building on gentoo where there are other oddities where BPF targets
     gets passed some compiler options intended for the native build, so
     building with WERROR=0 helps while these oddities are fixed.

   - Dont pass ERR_PTR() values to perf_session__delete() in 'perf top'
     and 'perf lock', fixing some segfaults when handling some odd
     failures.

   - Add LTO build option.

   - Fix format of unordered lists in the perf docs
     (tools/perf/Documentation)

   - Overhaul the bison files, using constructs such as YYNOMEM.

   - Remove unused tokens from the bison .y files.

   - Add more comments to various structs.

   - A few LoongArch enablement patches.

  Vendor events (JSON):

   - Add JSON metrics for Yitian 710 DDR (aarch64). Things like:

  	EventName, BriefDescription
  	visible_window_limit_reached_rd, "At least one entry in read queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	visible_window_limit_reached_wr, "At least one entry in write queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mpc	       , "A DQS Oscillator MPC command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mrr	       , "A DQS Oscillator MRR command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_tcr_mrr		       , "A Temperature Compensated Refresh(TCR) MRR command to DRAM.",

   - Add AmpereOne metrics (aarch64).

   - Update N2 and V2 metrics (aarch64) and events using Arm telemetry
     repo.

   - Update scale units and descriptions of common topdown metrics on
     aarch64. Things like:
       - "MetricExpr": "stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles)",
       - "BriefDescription": "Frontend bound L1 topdown metric",
       + "MetricExpr": "100 * (stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles))",
       + "BriefDescription": "This metric is the percentage of total slots that were stalled due to resource constraints in the frontend of the processor.",

   - Update events for intel: meteorlake to 1.04, sapphirerapids to
     1.15, Icelake+ metric constraints.

   - Update files for the power10 platform"

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "perf tools maintainership:

   - Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees and
     branches to the MAINTAINERS file. That is where development now
     takes place and myself and Namhyung Kim have write access, more
     people to come as we emulate other maintainer groups.

  perf record:

   - Record kernel data maps when 'perf record --data' is used, so that
     global variables can be resolved and used in tools that do data
     profiling.

  perf trace:

   - Remove the old, experimental support for BPF events in which a .c
     file was passed as an event: "perf trace -e hello.c" to then get
     compiled and loaded.

     The only known usage for that, that shipped with the kernel as an
     example for such events, augmented the raw_syscalls tracepoints and
     was converted to a libbpf skeleton, reusing all the user space
     components and the BPF code connected to the syscalls.

     In the end just the way to glue the BPF part and the user space
     type beautifiers changed, now being performed by libbpf skeletons.

     The next step is to use BTF to do pretty printing of all syscall
     types, as discussed with Alan Maguire and others.

     Now, on a perf built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 we get most if not all
     path/filenames/strings, some of the networking data structures,
     perf_event_attr, etc, i.e. systemwide tracing of nanosleep calls
     and perf_event_open syscalls while 'perf stat' runs 'sleep' for 5
     seconds:

     event:

       # perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip &lt; 0xffffffff00000000'

   - Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is
     linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more
     expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.

   - Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well

  libperf:

   - Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree,

     building with WERROR=0 helps while these oddities are fixed.

   - Dont pass ERR_PTR() values to perf_session__delete() in 'perf top'
     and 'perf lock', fixing some segfaults when handling some odd
     failures.

   - Add LTO build option.

   - Fix format of unordered lists in the perf docs
     (tools/perf/Documentation)

   - Overhaul the bison files, using constructs such as YYNOMEM.

   - Remove unused tokens from the bison .y files.

   - Add more comments to various structs.

   - A few LoongArch enablement patches.

  Vendor events (JSON):

   - Add JSON metrics for Yitian 710 DDR (aarch64). Things like:

  	EventName, BriefDescription
  	visible_window_limit_reached_rd, "At least one entry in read queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	visible_window_limit_reached_wr, "At least one entry in write queue reaches the visible window limit.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mpc	       , "A DQS Oscillator MPC command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_dqsosc_mrr	       , "A DQS Oscillator MRR command to DRAM.",
  	op_is_tcr_mrr		       , "A Temperature Compensated Refresh(TCR) MRR command to DRAM.",

   - Add AmpereOne metrics (aarch64).

   - Update N2 and V2 metrics (aarch64) and events using Arm telemetry
     repo.

   - Update scale units and descriptions of common topdown metrics on
     aarch64. Things like:
       - "MetricExpr": "stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles)",
       - "BriefDescription": "Frontend bound L1 topdown metric",
       + "MetricExpr": "100 * (stall_slot_frontend / (#slots * cpu_cycles))",
       + "BriefDescription": "This metric is the percentage of total slots that were stalled due to resource constraints in the frontend of the processor.",

   - Update events for intel: meteorlake to 1.04, sapphirerapids to
     1.15, Icelake+ metric constraints.

   - Update files for the power10 platform"

<title>perf bpf: Remove support for embedding clang for compiling BPF events (-e foo.c)</title>

This never was in the default build for perf, is difficult to maintain
as it uses clang/llvm internals so ditch it, keeping, for now, the
external compilation of .c BPF into .o bytecode and its subsequent
loading, that is also going to be removed, do it separately to help
bisection and to properly document what is being removed and why.

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch and removed some leftovers, namely
deleting these now unused feature tests:

    tools/build/feature/test-clang.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-cxx.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-llvm-version.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-llvm.cpp

Testing the use of BPF events after applying this patch:

To use the external clang/llvm toolchain to compile a .c event and then
use libbpf to load it, to get the syscalls:sys_enter_open* tracepoints
and read the filename pointer, putting it into the ring buffer right
after the usual tracepoint payload for 'perf trace' to then print it:

  [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c,open* --max-events=10

Perf build auto-detects features and packages already installed for its
build. This is done in directory tools/build/feature. This directory
contains small sample programs. When they successfully compile the
necessary prereqs in form of libraries and header files are present.

Such a check is also done for llvm and clang. And the checks fail.

Fix this and update to the latest C++ standard and use the new library
provided by clang (which contains new packaging) s/ee this link for

Test it in the tools/build/feature directory, and have clang-devel and
llvm-devel installed.

<title>perf build: Update build rule for generated files</title>

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.
