Merge tag 'perf-tools-for-v5.16-2021-11-07-without-bpftool-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux
Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo: "perf annotate: - Add riscv64 support. - Add fusion logic for AMD microarchs.
perf record: - Add an option to control the synthesizing behavior: --synth <no|all|task|mmap|cgroup>
core: - Allow controlling synthesizing PERF_RECORD_ metadata events during record. - perf.data reader prep work for multithreaded processing. - Fix missing exclude_{host,guest} setting in PMUs that don't support it and that were causing the feature detection code to disable it for all events, even the ones in PMUs that support it. - Fix the default use of precise events on AMD, that were always falling back to non-precise because perf_event_attr.exclude_guest=1 was set and IBS does not have filtering capability, refusing precise + exclude_guest. - Add bitfield_swap() to handle branch_stack endian issue.
perf script: - Show binary offsets for userspace addresses in callchains. - Support instruction latency via new "ins_lat" selectable field. - Add dlfilter-show-cycles
perf inject: - Add vmlinux and ignore-vmlinux arguments, similar to other tools.
perf list: - Display PMU prefix for partially supported hybrid cache events. - Display hybrid PMU events with cpu type.
perf stat: - Improve metrics documentation of data structures. - Fix memory leaks in the metric code. - Use NAN for missing event IDs. - Don't compute unused events. - Fix memory leak on error path. - Encode and use metric-id as a metric qualifier. - Allow metrics with no events. - Avoid events for an 'if' constant result. - Only add a referenced metric once. - Simplify metric_refs calculation. - Allow modifiers on metrics.
perf test: - Add workload test of metric and metric groups. - Workload test of all PMUs. - vmlinux-kallsyms: Ignore hidden symbols. - Add pmu-event test for event described as "config=". - Verify more event members in pmu-events test. - Add endian test for struct branch_flags on the sample-parsing test. - Improve temp file cleanup in several tests.
perf daemon: - Address MSAN warnings on send_cmd().
perf kmem: - Improve man page for record options
perf srcline: - Use long-running addr2line per DSO, greatly speeding up the 'srcline' sort order.
perf symbols: - Ignore $a/$d symbols for ARM modules. - Fix /proc/kcore access on 32 bit systems.
Kernel UAPI copies: - Update copy of linux/socket.h with the kernel sources, no change in tooling output.
libbpf: - Pull in bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear() from libbpf, too much specific to perf. - Deprecate bpf_map__resize() in favor of bpf_map_set_max_entries() - Install libbpf headers locally when building. - Bump minimum LLVM C++ std to GNU++14.
libperf: - Use binary search in perf_cpu_map__idx() as array are sorted.
libtracefs: - Enable libtracefs dynamic linking.
libtraceevent: - Increase logging when verbose.
Arch specific:
* PowerPC: - Add support to expose instruction and data address registers as part of extended regs.
Vendor events:
* JSON parser: - Support ConfigCode to set the config= in PMUs - Make the JSON parser more conformant when in strict mode.
* All JSON files: - Fix all remaining invalid JSON files.
* ARM: - Syntax corrections in Neoverse N1 json. - Categorise the Neoverse V1 counters. - Add new armv8 PMU events. - Revise hip08 uncore events.
Hardware tracing:
* auxtrace: - Add missing Z option to ITRACE_HELP. - Add itrace A option to approximate IPC. - Add itrace d+o option to direct debug log to stdout.
* Intel PT: - Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID - Support itrace A option to approximate IPC - Support itrace d+o option to direct debug log to stdout"
* tag 'perf-tools-for-v5.16-2021-11-07-without-bpftool-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux: (120 commits) perf build: Install libbpf headers locally when building perf MANIFEST: Add bpftool files to allow building with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 perf metric: Fix memory leaks perf parse-event: Add init and exit to parse_event_error perf parse-events: Rename parse_events_error functions perf stat: Fix memory leak on error path perf tools: Use __BYTE_ORDER__ perf inject: Add vmlinux and ignore-vmlinux arguments perf tools: Check vmlinux/kallsyms arguments in all tools perf tools: Refactor out kernel symbol argument sanity checking perf symbols: Ignore $a/$d symbols for ARM modules perf evsel: Don't set exclude_guest by default perf evsel: Fix missing exclude_{host,guest} setting perf bpf: Add missing free to bpf_event__print_bpf_prog_info() perf beauty: Update copy of linux/socket.h with the kernel sources perf clang: Fixes for more recent LLVM/clang tools: Bump minimum LLVM C++ std to GNU++14 perf bpf: Pull in bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear() Revert "perf bench futex: Add support for 32-bit systems with 64-bit time_t" perf test sample-parsing: Add endian test for struct branch_flags ...

Merge branch 'master' into fixes
We have a fix to apply on top of commit 96d4f267e40f ("Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function"), so merge master to get it.

nds32: Perf porting
This is the commit that porting the perf for nds32.
1.Raw event: The raw events start with 'r'. Usage: perf stat -e rXYZ ./app X: the index of performance counter. YZ: the index(convert to hexdecimal) of events
Example: 'perf stat -e r101 ./app' means the counter 1 will count the instruction event.
The index of counter and events can be found in "Andes System Privilege Architecture Version 3 Manual".
Or you can perform the 'perf list' to find the symbolic name of raw events.
2.Perf mmap2:
Fix unexpected perf mmap2() page fault
When the mmap2() called by perf application, you will encounter such condition:"failed to write." With return value -EFAULT
This is due to the page fault caused by "reading" buffer from the mapped legal address region to write to the descriptor. The page_fault handler will get a VM_FAULT_SIGBUS return value, which should not happens here.(Due to this is a read request.)
You can refer to kernel/events/core.c:perf_mmap_fault(...) If "(vmf->pgoff && (vmf->flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE))" is evaluated as true, you will get VM_FAULT_SIGBUS as return value.
However, this is not an write request. The flags which indicated why the page fault happens is wrong.
Furthermore, NDS32 SPAv3 is not able to detect it is read or write. It only know either it is instruction fetch or data access.
Therefore, by removing the wrong flag assignment(actually, the hardware is not able to show the reason), we can fix this bug.
3.Perf multiple events map to same counter.
When there are multiple events map to the same counter, the counter counts inaccurately. This is because each counter only counts one event in the same time. So when there are multiple events map to same counter, they have to take turns in each context.
There are two solution: 1. Print the error message when multiple events map to the same counter. But print the error message would let the program hang in loop. The ltp (linux test program) would be failed when the program hang in loop.
2. Don't print the error message, the ltp would pass. But the user need to have the knowledge that don't count the events which map to the same counter, or the user will get the inaccurate results.
We choose method 2 for the solution
