perf parse-regs: Refactor arch register parsing functions

Every architecture has a specific register parsing function for
returning register name based on register index, to support cross
analysis (e.g. we use perf x86 binary to parse Arm64's perf data), we
build all these register parsing functions into the tool, this is why
we place all related functions into util/perf_regs.c.

Unfortunately, since util/perf_regs.c needs to include every arch's
perf_regs.h, this easily introduces duplicated definitions coming from
multiple headers, finally it's fragile for building and difficult for
maintenance.

We cannot simply move these register parsing functions into the
corresponding 'arch' folder, the folder is only conditionally built
based on the target architecture.

Therefore, this commit creates a new folder util/perf-regs-arch/ and
uses a dedicated source file to keep every architecture's register
parsing function to avoid definition conflicts.

This is only a refactoring, no functionality change is expected.

Committer notes:

Had to add util/perf-regs-arch/*.c to tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
to keep 'perf test python' passing.

perf unwind: Use dynamic register set for DWARF unwind

Architectures can detect availability of extra registers at runtime so
use this more complete set for unwinding. This will include the VG
register on arm64 in a later commit.

If the function isn't implemented then PERF_REGS_MASK is returned and
there is no change.

'perf test python' passes, i.e. the perf python binding has all the

perf stat: Fix wrong skipping for per-die aggregation

Uncore becomes die-scope on Xeon Cascade Lake-AP and perf has supported
--per-die aggregation yet.

One issue is found in check_per_pkg() for uncore events running on AP
system. On cascade Lake-AP, we have:

S0-D0
S0-D1
S1-D0
S1-D1

But in check_per_pkg(), S0-D1 and S1-D1 are skipped because the mask
bits for S0 and S1 have been set for S0-D0 and S1-D0. It doesn't check
die_id. So the counting for S0-D1 and S1-D1 are set to zero. That's not
correct.

5.001479927 S1-D1 1 5496640 Bytes llc_misses.mem_read

From above output, we can see S0-D1 and S1-D1 don't report the interval
values, they are continued to grow. That's because check_per_pkg()
wrongly decides to use zero counts for S0-D1 and S1-D1.

So in check_per_pkg(), we should use hashmap(socket,die) to decide if
the cpu counts needs to skip. Only considering socket is not enough.

Now with this patch,

perf tools: Add 'evlist' control command

Add a new 'evlist' control command to display all the evlist events.
When it is received, perf will scan and print current evlist into perf
record terminal.

The interface string for control file is:

evlist [-v|-g|-F]

The syntax follows perf evlist command:
-F Show just the sample frequency used for each event.
-v Show all fields.
-g Show event group information.

Example session:

terminal 1:
# mkfifo control ack
# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -e '{cycles,instructions}'

terminal 2:
# echo evlist > control

terminal 1:
cycles
instructions
dummy:HG

terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -v' > control

terminal 1:
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: \
IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
instructions: size: 120, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \
sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, freq: 1, \
sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
dummy:HG: type: 1, size: 120, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, \
sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, \
comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, \
bpf_event: 1

terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -g' > control

terminal 1:
{cycles,instructions}
dummy:HG

terminal 2:
# echo 'evlist -F' > control

terminal 1:
cycles: sample_freq=4000
instructions: sample_freq=4000
dummy:HG: sample_freq=4000

This new evlist command is handy to get real event names when
wildcards are used.

Adding evsel_fprintf.c object to python/perf.so build, because
it's now evlist.c dependency.

Adding PYTHON_PERF define for python/perf.so compilation, so we
can use it to compile in only evsel__fprintf from evsel_fprintf.c
object.

perf affinity: Add infrastructure to save/restore affinity

The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many
operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the
overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs.

An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up
all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU.

Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model.
Used in followon patches.

Use zfree() in some places, add missing stdbool.h header, some minor
coding style changes.

$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
$

So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:

$ perf test python
18: 'import perf' in python : Ok
$

If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:

$ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
$ perf test python
18: 'import perf' in python : Ok
$

tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.

This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.

Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

perf evsel: Fix swap for samples with raw data

When we detect a different endianity we swap event before processing.
It's tricky for samples because we have no idea what's inside. We treat
it as an array of u64s, swap them and later on we swap back parts which
are different.

We mangle this way also the tracepoint raw data, which ends up in report
showing wrong data:

1.95% comm=Q^B pid=29285 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
1.67% comm=l^B pid=0 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000

Luckily the traceevent library handles the endianity by itself (thank
you Steven!), so we can pass the RAW data directly in the other
endianity.

2.51% comm=beah-rhts-task pid=1175 prio=120 target_cpu=002
2.23% comm=kworker/0:0 pid=11566 prio=120 target_cpu=000

The fix is basically to swap back the raw data if different endianity is
detected.

perf tools: Add missing object file to the python binding linkage list

In ac12f6764c50 ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we
started using the parse_branch_str() function from one of the files used
in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail:

# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 16667
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
parse_branch_str
test child finished with -1
---- end ----

#

I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the
pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this
regression to pass, sigh.

Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using
ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use
pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.

Now:

# perf test python

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.
