perf bench syscall: Add fork syscall benchmark

This is a follow up patch for the execve bench which is actually
fork + execve, it makes sense to add the fork syscall benchmark
to compare the execve part precisely.

Some archs have no __NR_fork definition which is used only as a
check condition to call test_fork(), let us just define it as -1
to avoid build error.

perf bench: Add breakpoint benchmarks

Add 2 benchmarks:

1. Performance of thread creation/exiting in presence of breakpoints.
2. Performance of breakpoint modification in presence of threads.

The benchmarks capture use cases that we are interested in:
using inheritable breakpoints in large highly-threaded applications.

The benchmarks show significant slowdown imposed by breakpoints
(even when they don't fire).

Testing on Intel 8173M with 112 HW threads show:

perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=0 --parallelism=56 --threads=20
78.675000 usecs/op
perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=4 --parallelism=56 --threads=20
12967.135714 usecs/op

That's 165x slowdown due to presence of the breakpoints.

perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=0
1.433250 usecs/op
perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=224 --active=0
585.318400 usecs/op
perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=111
635.953000 usecs/op

That's 408x and 444x slowdown due to presence of threads.

Profiles show some overhead in toggle_bp_slot,
but also very high contention:

90.83% breakpoint-thre [kernel.kallsyms] [k] osq_lock
4.69% breakpoint-thre [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
2.06% breakpoint-thre [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __reserve_bp_slot

perf bench: Use unbuffered output when pipe/tee'ing to a file

The output of 'perf bench' gets buffered when I pipe it to a file or to
tee, in such a way that I can see it only at the end.

E.g.

$ perf bench internals synthesize -t
< output comes out fine after each test run >

$ perf bench internals synthesize -t | tee file.txt
< output comes out only at the end of all tests >

This patch resolves this issue for 'bench' and 'test' subcommands.

See, also:

$ perf bench mem all | tee file.txt
$ perf bench sched all | tee file.txt
$ perf bench internals all -t | tee file.txt
$ perf bench internals all | tee file.txt

Committer testing:

It really gets staggered, i.e. outputs in bursts, when the buffer fills
up and has to be drained to make up space for more output.

perf bench: Add benchmark for evlist open/close operations

This new benchmark finds the total time that is taken to open, mmap,
enable, disable, munmap, close an evlist (time taken for new,
create_maps, config, delete is not counted in).

The evlist can be configured as in perf-record using the
-a,-C,-e,-u,--per-thread,-t,-p options.

The events can be duplicated in the evlist to quickly test performance
with many events using the -n options.

Furthermore, also the number of iterations used to calculate the
statistics is customizable.

Examples:
- Open one dummy event system-wide:

$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close
Number of cpus: 4
Number of threads: 1
Number of events: 1 (4 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 613.870 usec (+- 32.852 usec)

- Open the group '{cs,cycles}' on CPU 0

$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e '{cs,cycles}' -C 0
Number of cpus: 1
Number of threads: 1
Number of events: 2 (2 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 8503.220 usec (+- 252.652 usec)

- Open 10 'cycles' events for user 0, calculate average over 100 runs

$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e cycles -n 10 -u 0 -i 100
Number of cpus: 4
Number of threads: 328
Number of events: 10 (13120 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 180043.140 usec (+- 2295.889 usec)

Committer notes:

Replaced a deprecated bzero() call with designated initialized zeroing.

Added some missing evlist allocation checks, one noted by Riccardo on
the mailing list.

Minor cosmetic changes (sent in private).

perf bench: Add build-id injection benchmark

Sometimes I can see that 'perf record' piped with 'perf inject' take a
long time processing build-ids.

So introduce a inject-build-id benchmark to the internals benchmark
suite to measure its overhead regularly.

It runs the 'perf inject' command internally and feeds the given number
of synthesized events (MMAP2 + SAMPLE basically).

Usage: perf bench internals inject-build-id <options>

-i, --iterations <n> Number of iterations used to compute average (default: 100)
-m, --nr-mmaps <n> Number of mmap events for each iteration (default: 100)
-n, --nr-samples <n> Number of sample events per mmap event (default: 100)
-v, --verbose be more verbose (show iteration count, DSO name, etc)

By default, it measures average processing time of 100 MMAP2 events
and 10000 SAMPLE events. Below is a result on my laptop.

perf bench: Add benchmark of find_next_bit

for_each_set_bit, or similar functions like for_each_cpu, may be hot
within the kernel. If many bits were set then one could imagine on Intel
a "bt" instruction with every bit may be faster than the function call
and word length find_next_bit logic. Add a benchmark to measure this.

This benchmark on AMD rome and Intel skylakex shows "bt" is not a good
option except for very small bitmaps.

perf bench: Add basic syscall benchmark

The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance
has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing
machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version
of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure
syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet
without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based
on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses.

Committer notes:

Add mising stdlib.h and unistd.h to get the prototypes for exit() and
getppid().

perf bench: Add event synthesis benchmark

Event synthesis may occur at the start or end (tail) of a perf command.
In system-wide mode it can scan every process in /proc, which may add
seconds of latency before event recording. Add a new benchmark that
times how long event synthesis takes with and without data synthesis.

An example execution looks like:

perf bench: Add epoll parallel epoll_wait benchmark

This program benchmarks concurrent epoll_wait(2) for file descriptors
that are monitored with with EPOLLIN along various semantics, by a
single epoll instance. Such conditions can be found when using
single/combined or multiple queuing when load balancing.

Each thread has a number of private, nonblocking file descriptors,
referred to as fdmap. A writer thread will constantly be writing to the
fdmaps of all threads, minimizing each threads's chances of epoll_wait
not finding any ready read events and blocking as this is not what we
want to stress. Full details in the start of the C file.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
