perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.

If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.

This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".

CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.

Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Committer notes:

Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:

#include <traceevent/event-parse.h>

to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:

- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/

- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:

- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.

- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.

From Athira:

<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>

Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.

- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

Also from Athira:

<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>

Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

perf pmu: Add pmu_events_map__find() function to find the common PMU map for the system

Add a function to find the common PMU map for the system.

For arm64, a special variant is added. This is because arm64 supports
heterogeneous CPU systems. As such, it cannot be guaranteed that the
cpumap is same for all CPUs. So in case of heterogeneous systems, don't
return a cpumap.

Calloc failed as the symbol__size(sym) is too huge. As show in error
message: start=0x1477100, end=0x80002000, size of symbol is about 2G.

This is the same problem as 'perf annotate: Fix s390 gap between kernel
end and module start (b9c0a64901d5bd)'. Perf gets symbol information from
/proc/kallsyms in __dso__load_kallsyms. A part of symbol in /proc/kallsyms
from my virtual machine is as follows:
#cat /proc/kallsyms | sort
...
ffff000001475080 d rpfilter_mt_reg [ip6t_rpfilter]
ffff000001475100 d $d [ip6t_rpfilter]

ffff000080080000 t _head
ffff000080080000 T _text
ffff000080080040 t pe_header
...

Take line 'ffff000001475100 d __this_module [ip6t_rpfilter]' as example.
The start and end of symbol are both set to ffff000001475100 in
dso__load_all_kallsyms. Then symbols__fixup_end will set the end of symbol
to next big address to ffff000001475100 in /proc/kallsyms, ffff000080080000
in this example. Then sizeof of symbol will be about 2G and cause the
problem.

The start of module in my machine is
ffff000000a62000 t $x [dm_mod]

The start of kernel in my machine is
ffff000080080000 t _head

There is a big gap between end of module and begin of kernel if a samll
amount of memory is used by module. And the last symbol in module will
have a large address range as caotaining the big gap.

Give that the module and kernel text segment sequence may change in
the future, fix this by limiting range of last symbol in module and kernel
to 4K in arch arm64.

perf symbols: Consolidate symbol fixup issue

After copying Arm64's perf archive with object files and perf.data file
to x86 laptop, the x86's perf kernel symbol resolution fails. It
outputs 'unknown' for all symbols parsing.

This issue is root caused by the function elf__needs_adjust_symbols(),
x86 perf tool uses one weak version, Arm64 (and powerpc) has rewritten
their own version. elf__needs_adjust_symbols() decides if need to parse
symbols with the relative offset address; but x86 building uses the weak
function which misses to check for the elf type 'ET_DYN', so that it
cannot parse symbols in Arm DSOs due to the wrong result from
elf__needs_adjust_symbols().

The DSO parsing should not depend on any specific architecture perf
building; e.g. x86 perf tool can parse Arm and Arm64 DSOs, vice versa.
And confirmed by Naveen N. Rao that powerpc64 kernels are not being
built as ET_DYN anymore and change to ET_EXEC.

This patch removes the arch specific functions for Arm64 and powerpc and
changes elf__needs_adjust_symbols() as a common function.

In the common elf__needs_adjust_symbols(), it checks an extra condition
'ET_DYN' for elf header type. With this fixing, the Arm64 DSO can be
parsed properly with x86's perf tool.

perf tools: Avoid 'sample_reg_masks' being const + weak

Being const + weak breaks with some compilers that constant-propagate
from the weak symbol. This behavior is outside of the specification, but
in LLVM is chosen to match GCC's behavior.

LLVM's implementation was set in this patch:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/f49573d1eedcf1e44893d5a062ac1b72c8419646

A const + weak symbol is set to be weak_odr:

https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html

ODR is one definition rule, and given there is one constant definition
constant-propagation is possible. It is possible to get this code to
miscompile with LLVM when applying link time optimization. As compilers
become more aggressive, this is likely to break in more instances.

Move the definition of sample_reg_masks to the conditional part of
perf_regs.h and guard usage with HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT. This avoids the
weak symbol.

Fix an issue when HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT isn't defined from patch v1.
In v3, add perf_regs.c for architectures that HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT but
don't declare sample_regs_masks.

Further notes:

Jiri asked:

"Is this just a precaution or you actualy saw some breakage?"

Ian answered:

"We saw a breakage with clang with thinlto enabled for linking. Our
compiler team had recently seen, and were surprised by, a similar issue
and were able to dig out the weak ODR issue."

Other release notes:

- applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere

- Report is self-contained within the tool.
Record requires enabling the kernel SPE driver by
setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU.

- The intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its
min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be
revisited for ARM SPE

- Recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported

- Snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events
(e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported

- Technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however
disabled for simplicity in this release

perf probe arm64: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

On an arm64 machine running a CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y kernel, perf
kernel symbol resolution fails. Debugging saw symsrc_init calling the
default elf__needs_adjust_symbols() where checks for an ET_DYN (3)
ehdr.e_type failed when they should have succeeded.

Fix by adopting powerpc version of the weak elf__needs_adjust_symbols()
function, as done in commit d2332098331f ("perf probe ppc: Fix symbol
fixup issues due to ELF type").

Prior to this patch, perf test 1 would fail:

$ sudo oldperf test -v 1 |& head

Calloc failed as the symbol__size(sym) is too huge. As show in error
message: start=0x1477100, end=0x80002000, size of symbol is about 2G.

This is the same problem as 'perf annotate: Fix s390 gap between kernel
end and module start (b9c0a64901d5bd)'. Perf gets symbol information from
/proc/kallsyms in __dso__load_kallsyms. A part of symbol in /proc/kallsyms
from my virtual machine is as follows:
#cat /proc/kallsyms | sort
...
ffff000001475080 d rpfilter_mt_reg [ip6t_rpfilter]
ffff000001475100 d $d [ip6t_rpfilter]
ffff000001475100 d __this_module [ip6t_rpfilter]
ffff000080080000 t _head
ffff000080080000 T _text
ffff000080080040 t pe_header
...

Take line 'ffff000001475100 d __this_module [ip6t_rpfilter]' as example.
The start and end of symbol are both set to ffff000001475100 in
dso__load_all_kallsyms. Then symbols__fixup_end will set the end of symbol
to next big address to ffff000001475100 in /proc/kallsyms, ffff000080080000
in this example. Then sizeof of symbol will be about 2G and cause the
problem.

The start of module in my machine is
ffff000000a62000 t $x [dm_mod]

The start of kernel in my machine is
ffff000080080000 t _head

There is a big gap between end of module and begin of kernel if a samll
amount of memory is used by module. And the last symbol in module will
have a large address range as caotaining the big gap.

Give that the module and kernel text segment sequence may change in
the future, fix this by limiting range of last symbol in module and kernel
to 4K in arch arm64.

their own version. elf__needs_adjust_symbols() decides if need to parse
symbols with the relative offset address; but x86 building uses the weak
function which misses to check for the elf type 'ET_DYN', so that it
cannot parse symbols in Arm DSOs due to the wrong result from
elf__needs_adjust_symbols().

The DSO parsing should not depend on any specific architecture perf
building; e.g. x86 perf tool can parse Arm and Arm64 DSOs, vice versa.
And confirmed by Naveen N. Rao that powerpc64 kernels are not being
built as ET_DYN anymore and change to ET_EXEC.

This patch removes the arch specific functions for Arm64 and powerpc and
changes elf__needs_adjust_symbols() as a common function.

In the common elf__needs_adjust_symbols(), it checks an extra condition
'ET_DYN' for elf header type. With this fixing, the Arm64 DSO can be
parsed properly with x86's perf tool.

After:

# perf script

v3: Changed to check for ET_DYN across all architectures.

v2: Fixed Arm64 and powerpc native building.

perf tools: Avoid 'sample_reg_masks' being const + weak

Being const + weak breaks with some compilers that constant-propagate
from the weak symbol. This behavior is outside of the specification, but
in LLVM is chosen to match GCC's behavior.

LLVM's implementation was set in this patch:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/f49573d1eedcf1e44893d5a062ac1b72c8419646

A const + weak symbol is set to be weak_odr:

https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html

ODR is one definition rule, and given there is one constant definition
constant-propagation is possible. It is possible to get this code to
miscompile with LLVM when applying link time optimization. As compilers
become more aggressive, this is likely to break in more instances.

Move the definition of sample_reg_masks to the conditional part of
perf_regs.h and guard usage with HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT. This avoids the
weak symbol.

Fix an issue when HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT isn't defined from patch v1.
In v3, add perf_regs.c for architectures that HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT but
don't declare sample_regs_masks.

Further notes:

Jiri asked:

"Is this just a precaution or you actualy saw some breakage?"

Ian answered:

"We saw a breakage with clang with thinlto enabled for linking. Our
compiler team had recently seen, and were surprised by, a similar issue
and were able to dig out the weak ODR issue."
