perf list: Fix JSON segfault by setting the used skip_duplicate_pmus callback

commit b1693747487442984050eb0f462b83a3a8307525 upstream.

Json output didn't set the skip_duplicate_pmus callback yielding a
segfault.

perf list: Don't print Unit for "default_core"

"default_core" was added as a way to demark JSON events whose PMU should
be whatever the default core PMU is, previously this had been assumed to
be "cpu" but that fails on s390 and ARM.

'perf list' displays the PMU in the event description to save storing it
in JSON, but was still comparing against "cpu" and not "default_core",
so update this.

perf pmus: Skip duplicate PMUs and don't print list suffix by default

Add a PMUs scan that ignores duplicates. When there are multiple PMUs
that differ only by suffix, by default just list the first one and
skip all others. The scan routine checks that the PMU names match but
doesn't enforce that the numbers are consecutive as for some PMUs
there are gaps. If "-v" is passed to "perf list" then list all PMUs.

With the previous change duplicate PMUs are no longer printed but the
suffix of the first is printed. When duplicate PMUs are being skipped
avoid printing the suffix.

Before:

$ perf list

The PMU name could be NULL in the case of the fake_pmu. Initialize the

be used to avoid additional initialization code. Propagate the cost

casts. Doing this located a bug in builtin-list for the pmu_glob that
was missing a strdup.

perf jevents: Don't append Unit to desc

Unit with the PMU name is appended to desc in jevents.py, but on
hybrid platforms it causes the desc to differ from the regular
non-hybrid system with a PMU of 'cpu'. Having differing descs means
the events don't deduplicate. To make the perf list output not differ,
append the Unit on again in the perf list printing code.

On x86 reduces the binary size by 409,600 bytes or about 4%. Update
pmu-events test expectations to match the differently generated
pmu-events.c code.

perf jevents: Add support for metricgroup descriptions

Metrics have a field where the groups they belong to are listed like
the following from
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/skylakex/skx-metrics.json:

"MetricGroup": "PGO;TmaL1;TopdownL1;tma_L1_group",
"MetricName": "tma_frontend_bound",

The metric groups are shown in 'perf list' like the following where
TopdownL1 is a metric group:

TopdownL1:
tma_backend_bound
[This category represents fraction of slots where no uops are being
delivered due to a lack of required resources for accepting new uops
in the Backend]
tma_bad_speculation
[This category represents fraction of slots wasted due to incorrect
speculations]
tma_frontend_bound
[This category represents fraction of slots where the processor's
Frontend undersupplies its Backend]
tma_retiring
[This category represents fraction of slots utilized by useful work
i.e. issued uops that eventually get retired]

This patch adds support for a new json file in each model directory
called metricgroups.json that comprises a dictionary containing
entries that map from a metric group to a description:

{
...
"TopdownL1": "Metrics for top-down breakdown at level 1",
...
}

perf list is then updated to support this changing the above output
to:

TopdownL1: [Metrics for top-down breakdown at level 1]

Committer notes:

Rather than limit the --cputype argument for "perf list" and "perf

Note, that if cpu_atom isn't mounted but a filter of cpu_atom is
requested, then this will now fail. As such a filter would never
succeed, no events can come from that unmounted PMU, then this
behavior could never have been useful and failing is clearer.

tools: Rename __fallthrough to fallthrough

Rename the fallthrough attribute to better align with the kernel
version. Copy the definition from include/linux/compiler_attributes.h
including the #else clause. Adding the #else clause allows the tools
compiler.h header to drop the check for a definition entirely and keeps
both definitions together.

Change any __fallthrough statements to fallthrough anywhere it was used
within perf.

This allows other tools to use the same key word as the kernel.

Committer notes:

Did some missing conversions to:

Also included gtk.h before the 'fallthrough' definition in:

perf pmu-events: Remove now unused event and metric variables

Previous changes separated the uses of pmu_event and pmu_metric,
however, both structures contained all the variables of event and
metric. This change removes the event variables from metric and the
metric variables from event.

Note, this change removes the setting of evsel's metric_name/expr as
these fields are no longer part of struct pmu_event. The metric
remains but is no longer implicitly requested when the event is. This
impacts a few Intel uncore events, however, as the ScaleUnit is shared
by the event and the metric this utility is questionable. Also the
MetricNames look broken (contain spaces) in some cases and when trying
to use the functionality with '-e' the metrics fail but regular
metrics with '-M' work. For example, on SkylakeX '-M' works:

```
$ perf stat -M LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

0 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 # 57896.0 Bytes LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE (49.84%)
7,174 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART1 (49.85%)
0 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART3 (50.16%)
63 UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART0 (50.15%)

1.004576381 seconds time elapsed
```

whilst the event '-e' version is broken even with --group/-g (fwiw, we should also remove -g [1]):

```
$ perf stat -g -e LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE -g -a sleep 1
Add UNC_IIO_DATA_REQ_OF_CPU.MEM_WRITE.PART2 event to groups to get metric expression for LLC_MISSES.PCIE_WRITE

The code also carries warnings where the user is supposed to select
events for metrics [2] but given the lack of use of such a feature,
let's clean the code and just remove.

perf list: Reorganize to use callbacks to allow honouring command line options

Rather than controlling the list output with passed flags, add
callbacks that are called when an event or metric are
encountered. State is passed to the callback so that command line
options can be respected, alternatively the callbacks can be changed.

Fix a few bugs:
- wordwrap to columns metric descriptions and expressions;
- remove unnecessary whitespace after PMU event names;
- the metric filter is a glob but matched using strstr which will
always fail, switch to using a proper globmatch,
- the detail flag gives details for extra kernel PMU events like
branch-instructions.

In metricgroup.c switch from struct mep being a rbtree of metricgroups
containing a list of metrics, to the tree directly containing all the
metrics. In general the alias for a name is passed to the print
routine rather than being contained in the name with OR.

Committer notes:

Check the asprint() return to address this on fedora 36:

util/print-events.c: In function ‘print_sdt_events’:
util/print-events.c:183:33: error: ignoring return value of ‘asprintf’ declared with attribute ‘warn_unused_result’ [-Werror=unused-result]
183 | asprintf(&evt_name, "%s@%s(%.12s)", sdt_name->s, path, bid);

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

$ gcc --version | head -1
gcc (GCC) 12.2.1 20220819 (Red Hat 12.2.1-2)
$

Fix ps.pmu_glob setting when dealing with *:* events, it was being left
with a freed pointer that then at the end of cmd_list() would be double
freed.

Check if pmu_name is NULL in default_print_event() before calling
strglobmatch(pmu_name, ...) to avoid a segfault.

Add a new option '--cputype' to 'perf list' to display core-only PMU

compares the PMU name before listing the result.

[Counts the number of request that were not accepted into the L2Q because the L2Q is FULL. Unit: cpu_atom]

perf list: Hide deprecated events by default

There are some deprecated events listed by perf list. But we can't
remove them from perf list with ease because some old scripts may use
them.

Deprecated events are old names of renamed events. When an event gets
renamed the old name is kept around for some time and marked with
Deprecated. The newer Intel event lists in the tree already have these
headers.

So we need to keep them in the event list, but provide a new option to
show them. The new option is "--deprecated".

With this patch, the deprecated events are hidden by default but they
can be displayed when option "--deprecated" is enabled.
