tools lib: Move find_next_bit.c to tools/lib/

The commit that introduced it should've moved it to the same place, plus
the 'tools/' prefix, but instead moved it to a bogus tools/lib/util/
directory, being the only file there.

Move it to tools/lib/find_bit.c, picking the name for the file where
these routines live since:

8f6f19dd5143 ("lib: move find_last_bit to lib/find_next_bit.c")

Next step is to make tools/lib/find_bit.c to differ from lib/find_bit.c
just in removing what is not used by tools/.

- Add record.build-id config option to 'perf record', to allow configuring
in the ~/.perfconfig file if and how build-ids should be processed, allowing
a permanent setting for options such as -B and -N: (Namhyung Kim)

$ perf record -h -B -N

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

-B, --no-buildid do not collect buildids in perf.data
-N, --no-buildid-cache do not update the buildid cache

Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what variables can
be collected at any given point, experiment first collecting without a filter,
then filter, use it together with 'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without
callchains, if it explodes, please tell us!

- Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry, facilitating
'perf report' output processing by other tools, such as Brendan Gregg's
flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

E.g:

# perf report | grep -v ^# | head
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
|
---cpu_startup_entry
|
|--12.07%--start_secondary
|
--6.30%--rest_init
start_kernel
x86_64_start_reservations
x86_64_start_kernel
#

Becomes, in "folded" mode:

# perf report -g folded | grep -v ^# | head -5
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
12.07% cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
6.30% cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
16.90% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] call_cpuidle
11.23% call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
5.67% call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
16.90% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpuidle_enter
11.23% cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
5.67% cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
15.12% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpuidle_enter_state
#

The user can also select one of "count", "period" or "percent" as the first column.

Infrastructure changes:

- Fix multiple leaks found with Valgrind and a refcount
debugger (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Add further 'perf test' entries for BPF and LLVM (Wang Nan)

- Improve 'perf test' to suport subtests, so that the series of tests
performed in the LLVM and BPF main tests appear in the default 'perf test'
output (Wang Nan)

- Move memdup() from tools/perf to tools/lib/string.c (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Adopt strtobool() from the kernel into tools/lib/ (Wang Nan)

- Fix selftests_install tools/ Makefile rule (Kevin Hilman)

perf bpf: Add prologue for BPF programs for fetching arguments

This patch generates a prologue for a BPF program which fetches arguments for
it. With this patch, the program can have arguments as follow:

SEC("lock_page=__lock_page page->flags")
int lock_page(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
{
return 1;
}

This patch passes at most 3 arguments from r3, r4 and r5. r1 is still the ctx
pointer. r2 is used to indicate if dereferencing was done successfully.

This patch uses r6 to hold ctx (struct pt_regs) and r7 to hold stack pointer
for result. Result of each arguments first store on stack:

low address
BPF_REG_FP - 24 ARG3
BPF_REG_FP - 16 ARG2
BPF_REG_FP - 8 ARG1
BPF_REG_FP
high address

Then loaded into r3, r4 and r5.

The output prologue for offn(...off2(off1(reg)))) should be:

r6 <- r1 // save ctx into a callee saved register
r7 <- fp
r7 <- r7 - stack_offset // pointer to result slot
/* load r3 with the offset in pt_regs of 'reg' */
(r7) <- r3 // make slot valid
r3 <- r3 + off1 // prepare to read unsafe pointer
r2 <- 8
r1 <- r7 // result put onto stack
call probe_read // read unsafe pointer
jnei r0, 0, err // error checking
r3 <- (r7) // read result
r3 <- r3 + off2 // prepare to read unsafe pointer
r2 <- 8
r1 <- r7
call probe_read
jnei r0, 0, err
...
/* load r2, r3, r4 from stack */
goto success
err:
r2 <- 1
/* load r3, r4, r5 with 0 */
goto usercode
success:
r2 <- 0
usercode:
r1 <- r6 // restore ctx
// original user code

If all of arguments reside in register (dereferencing is not
required), gen_prologue_fastpath() will be used to create
fast prologue:

r3 <- (r1 + offset of reg1)
r4 <- (r1 + offset of reg2)
r5 <- (r1 + offset of reg3)
r2 <- 0

P.S.

eBPF calling convention is defined as:

* r0 - return value from in-kernel function, and exit value
for eBPF program
* r1 - r5 - arguments from eBPF program to in-kernel function
* r6 - r9 - callee saved registers that in-kernel function will
preserve
* r10 - read-only frame pointer to access stack

Committer note:

At least testing if it builds and loads:

# cat test_probe_arg.c
struct pt_regs;

__attribute__((section("lock_page=__lock_page page->flags"), used))
int func(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
{
return 1;
}

most precise "cycles" hw counter available, i.e. when the user
doesn't specify any event, it will try using cycles:ppp, cycles:pp,
etc and fall back transparently until it finds a working counter.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Integration of perf with eBPF that, given an eBPF .c source file
(or .o file built for the 'bpf' target with clang), will get it
automatically built, validated and loaded into the kernel via the
sys_bpf syscall, which can then be used and seen using 'perf trace'
and other tools.

(Wang Nan)

Various user interface improvements:

- Automatic pager invocation on long help output. (Namhyung Kim)

- Search for more options when passing args to -h, e.g.: (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)

$ perf report -h interface

Usage: perf report [<options>]

--gtk Use the GTK2 interface
--stdio Use the stdio interface
--tui Use the TUI interface

- Show ordered command line options when -h is used or when an
unknown option is specified. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- If options are passed after -h, show just its descriptions, not all
options. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Implement column based horizontal scrolling in the hists browser
(top, report), making it possible to use the TUI for things like
'perf mem report' where there are many more columns than can fit in
a terminal. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Enhance the error reporting of tracepoint event parsing, e.g.:

$ oldperf record -e sched:sched_switc usleep 1
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Now we get the much nicer:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ can't access trace events

Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'

And after we have those mount point permissions fixed:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switc ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_switc'
\___ unknown tracepoint

Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switc not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.

I.e. basically now the event parsing routing uses the strerror_open()
routines introduced by and used in 'perf trace' work. (Jiri Olsa)

- Fail properly when pattern matching fails to find a tracepoint,
i.e. '-e non:existent' was being correctly handled, with a proper
error message about that not being a valid event, but '-e
non:existent*' wasn't, fix it. (Jiri Olsa)

- Do event name substring search as last resort in 'perf list'.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

E.g.:

# perf list clock

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

cpu-clock [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]

uncore_cbox_0/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]
uncore_cbox_1/clockticks/ [Kernel PMU event]

kvm:kvm_pvclock_update [Tracepoint event]
kvm:kvm_update_master_clock [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_disable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_enable [Tracepoint event]
power:clock_set_rate [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_enter_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_adjtime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_getres [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_gettime [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_nanosleep [Tracepoint event]
syscalls:sys_exit_clock_settime [Tracepoint event]

Intel PT hardware tracing enhancements:

- Accept a zero --itrace period, meaning "as often as possible". In
the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and a unit
of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i). (Adrian Hunter)

- Harmonize itrace's synthesized callchains with the existing
--max-stack tool option. (Adrian Hunter)

- Allow time to be displayed in nanoseconds in 'perf script'.
(Adrian Hunter)

- Fix potential infinite loop when handling Intel PT timestamps.
(Adrian Hunter)

- Slighly improve Intel PT debug logging. (Adrian Hunter)

- Warn when AUX data has been lost, just like when processing
PERF_RECORD_LOST. (Adrian Hunter)

- Further document export-to-postgresql.py script. (Adrian Hunter)

- Add option to synthesize branch stack from auxtrace data. (Adrian
Hunter)

Misc notable changes:

- Switch the default callchain output mode to 'graph,0.5,caller', to
make it look like the default for other tools, reducing the
learning curve for people used to 'caller' based viewing. (Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)

- various call chain usability enhancements. (Namhyung Kim)

- Introduce the 'P' event modifier, meaning 'max precision level,
please', i.e.:

$ perf record -e cycles:P usleep 1

Is now similar to:

$ perf record usleep 1

Useful, for instance, when specifying multiple events. (Jiri Olsa)

- Add 'socket' sort entry, to sort by the processor socket in 'perf
top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)

- Introduce --socket-filter to 'perf report', for filtering by
processor socket. (Kan Liang)

- Add new "Zoom into Processor Socket" operation in the perf hists
browser, used in 'perf top' and 'perf report'. (Kan Liang)

- Allow probing on kmodules without DWARF. (Masami Hiramatsu)

- Fix 'perf probe -l' for probes added to kernel module functions.
(Masami Hiramatsu)

- Preparatory work for the 'perf stat record' feature that will allow
generating perf.data files with counting data in addition to the
sampling mode we have now (Jiri Olsa)

- Update libtraceevent KVM plugin. (Paolo Bonzini)

- ... plus lots of other enhancements that I failed to list properly,
