perf tools: Fix PMU term format max value calculation

Currently the max value of format is calculated by the bits number. It
relies on the continuity of the format.

However, uncore event format is not continuous. E.g. uncore qpi event
format can be 0-7,21.

If bit 21 is set, there is parsing issues as below.

$ perf stat -a -e uncore_qpi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/
event syntax error: '..pi_0/event=0x200002,umask=0x8/'
\___ value too big for format, maximum is 511

This patch return the real max value by setting all possible bits to 1.

119213269 instructions # 0.94 insn per cycle

This is caused by recent change:

perf stat: Check existence of frontend/backed stalled cycles

that added call to pmu_have_event, that subsequently calls
perf_pmu__parse_scale, which has a bug in locale handling.

The lc string returned from setlocale, that we use to store old locale
value, may be allocated in static storage. Getting a dynamic copy to
make it survive another setlocale call.

Committer note:

Since the patch introducing the regression didn't made to perf/core,
move it to just before where the regression was introduced, so that we
don't break bisection for this feature.

perf tools: Dont stop PMU parsing on alias parse error

When an error happens during alias parsing currently the complete
parsing of all attributes of the PMU is stopped. This is breaks old perf
on a newer kernel that may have not-yet-know alias attributes (such as
.scale or .per-pkg).

Continue when some attribute is unparseable.

This is IMHO a stable candidate and should be backported to older
versions to avoid problems with newer kernels.

perf pmu: fix alias->snapshot missing initialization bug

This patch fixes a bug in __perf_pmu__new_alias() whereby the
alias->snapshot field was not initialized to false. This led to random
alias->snapshot value for an alias and was breaking some measurements
such as:

$ perf stat -a -e uncore_imc/data_reads/ -I 1000 sleep 100

Because the event ended up being treated as snapshot mode, when it is
not.

perf list: Honour 'event_glob' whem printing selectable PMUs

Some PMUs, like the 'intel_bts' one can be used as an event name, i.e.:

But the code printing such PMUs was not honouring the 'event_glob'
parameter, so the following line was always appearing:

perf tools: Show proper error message for wrong terms of hw/sw events

Show proper error message and show valid terms when wrong config terms
is specified for hw/sw type perf events.

This patch makes the original error format function formats_error_string()
more generic, which only outputs the static config terms for hw/sw perf
events, and prepends pmu formats for pmu events.

or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

perf tools: Add Intel BTS support

Intel BTS support fits within the new auxtrace infrastructure. Recording is
supporting by identifying the Intel BTS PMU, parsing options and setting up
events.

Decoding is supported by queuing up trace data by thread and then decoding
synchronously delivering synthesized event samples into the session processing
for tools to consume.

Equally to decode an AUX area, the AUX area tracing type must be added
to the perf_event__process_auxtrace_info() function.

This patch makes those two changes plus hooks up default config for the
intel_pt PMU. Also some brief documentation is provided for using the
tools with intel_pt.

perf tools: Validate config term maximum value

Currently the value of a PMU config term is silently truncated if it is
too big. This is an impediment to validating the value for other
criteria later on i.e. the user provides an invalid value that gets
truncated to a valid one.

The maximum value validation is only done for the parser where the error
is passed back to the user. In other cases the silent truncation
continues so as not to affect tools that perhaps rely on it.

perf tools: Per-event time support

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.

One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.

The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

perf pmu: Use __weak definition from <linux/compiler.h>

Jiri Olsa pointed out, that the <linux/compiler.h> defines the attribute
'__weak'. We might as well use that.

perf tools: Remove newline char when reading event scale and unit

The <fd979c013207> commit intruduced the perf_event_sysfs_show function
to display the event_str value of an attr in kernel/event/core.c. But
the function returns the value with a newline char.

So, if a event also carries a event.unit file, when printing the counter
data perf tool formatting goes for a spin.

That is, because of the event unit, event name is printed in the newline
because of perf_event_sysfs_show returns with a newline char.

Now fixing perf core will break API, hencing proposing a fix in the perf tool.

perf tools: Disallow PMU events intel_pt and intel_bts until there is support

Disallow PMU events intel_pt and intel_bts until the tools support them.

By default any PMU is selectable as an event but until the tools have
intel_pt and intel_bts support using them would result in no data being
recorded without any indication as to why.

Before the change:

$ perf record -e intel_bts// sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data ]
$ perf report --stdio
Error:
The perf.data file has no samples!

After the change:

$ perf record -e intel_bts// sleep 1
invalid or unsupported event: 'intel_bts//'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
