Add an implementation of addr2line that uses libdw.
Other addr2line implementations are slow, particularly in the case of
forking addr2line.
Add an implementation that caches the libdw information in the dso and
uses it to find the file and line number information.
Inline information is supported but because cu_walk_functions_at visits
the leaf function last add a inline_list__append_tail to reverse the
lists order.
Committer testing:
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf libdw__addr2line
Added new event:
probe_perf:libdw_addr2line (on libdw__addr2line in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:libdw_addr2line -aR sleep 1
#
# perf stat -e probe_perf:libdw_addr2line perf report -f --dso perf --stdio -s srcfile,srcline
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Adding probes to the other addr2line implementations (llvm__addr2line,
libbfd__addr2line and cmd__addr2line) I noticed some fallbacks to the
llvm one:

44 probe_perf:libdw_addr2line
23 probe_perf:llvm_addr2line

0 probe_perf:cmd_addr2line
Something to investigate further, but at least we don't fallback to the
cmd based one :-)

The NO_AUXTRACE build option was used when the __get_cpuid feature
test failed or if it was provided on the command line. The option no
longer avoids a dependency on a library and so having the option is
just adding complexity to the code base. Remove the option
CONFIG_AUXTRACE from Build files and HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT by assuming
it is always defined.

Add VPA DTL PMU auxtrace process function for "perf report -D".
The auxtrace event processing functions are defined in file
"util/powerpc-vpadtl.c".
Data structures used includes "struct powerpc_vpadtl_queue", "struct
powerpc_vpadtl" to store the auxtrace buffers in queue. Different
PERF_RECORD_XXX are generated during recording.
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO is processed first since it is of type
perf_user_event_type and perf session event delivers
perf_session__process_user_event() first.
Define function powerpc_vpadtl_process_auxtrace_info() to handle the
processing of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO records.
In this function, initialize the aux buffer queues using
auxtrace_queues__init().
Setup the required infrastructure for aux data processing.
The data is collected per CPU and auxtrace_queue is created for each
CPU.
Define powerpc_vpadtl_process_event() function to process
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE records.
In this, add the event to queue using auxtrace_queues__add_event() and
process the buffer in powerpc_vpadtl_dump_event().
The first entry in the buffer with timebase as zero has boot timebase
and frequency.
Remaining data is of format for "struct powerpc_vpadtl_entry".
Define the translation for dispatch_reasons and preempt_reasons, report
this when dump trace is invoked via powerpc_vpadtl_dump()
Sample output:
./perf record -a -e sched:*,vpa_dtl/dtl_all/ -c 1000000000 sleep 1

SHA-1 can be written in fewer than 100 lines of code. Just add a basic
SHA-1 implementation so that there's no need to use an external library
or try to pull in the kernel's SHA-1 implementation. The kernel's SHA-1
implementation is not really intended to be pulled into userspace
programs in the way that it was proposed to do so for perf
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250521225307.743726-3-yuzhuo@google.com/),
and it's also likely to undergo some refactoring in the future. There's
no need to tie userspace tools to it.

And make builtin-trace.c less conditional. Dummy functions will be
called when BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 is used. This makes the builtin-trace.c
slightly smaller and simpler by removing the skeleton and its helpers.
The conditional guard of trace__init_syscalls_bpf_prog_array_maps() is
changed from the HAVE_BPF_SKEL to HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT as it doesn't
have a skeleton in the code directly. And a dummy function is added so
that it can be called unconditionally. The function will succeed only
if the both conditions are true.
Do not include trace_augment.h from the BPF code and move the definition
of TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF to the BPF directly.

As with the hwmon PMU, high numbered PMU types are used to encode
multiple possible "DRM" PMUs. The appropriate fdinfo is found by
scanning /proc and filtering which fdinfos to read with stat. To avoid
some unneeding scanning, events not starting with "drm-" are
ignored. The patch builds on commit 57e13264dc ("perf pmus:
Restructure pmu_read_sysfs to scan fewer PMUs") and later so that only
if full wild carding is being done, the PMU starts with "drm_" or the
event starts with "drm-" will /proc be scanned. That is there should
be little to no cost in this PMU unless DRM events are requested.

When -s/--summary option is used, it doesn't need (augmented) arguments
of syscalls. Let's skip the augmentation and load another small BPF
program to collect the statistics in the kernel instead of copying the
data to the ring-buffer to calculate the stats in userspace. This will
be much more light-weight than the existing approach and remove any lost
events.
Let's add a new option --bpf-summary to control this behavior. I cannot
make it default because there's no way to get e_machine in the BPF which
is needed for detecting different ABIs like 32-bit compat mode.
No functional changes intended except for no more LOST events. :)

intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the
allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To
support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit
functions are created and added throughout the code base.

Rather than treat tool events as a special kind of event, create a
tool only PMU where the events/aliases match the existing
duration_time, user_time and system_time events. Remove special
parsing and printing support for the tool events, but add function
calls for when PMU functions are called on a tool_pmu.
Move the tool PMU code in evsel into tool_pmu.c to better encapsulate
the tool event behavior in that file.

In addition to the existing support for libbfd and calling out to
an external addr2line command, add support for using libllvm directly.
This is both faster than libbfd, and can be enabled in distro builds
(the LLVM license has an explicit provision for GPLv2 compatibility).
Thus, it is set as the primary choice if available.
As an example, running 'perf report' on a medium-size profile with
DWARF-based backtraces took 58 seconds with LLVM, 78 seconds with
libbfd, 153 seconds with external llvm-addr2line, and I got tired and
aborted the test after waiting for 55 minutes with external bfd
addr2line (which is the default for perf as compiled by distributions
today).
Evidently, for this case, the bfd addr2line process needs 18 seconds (on
a 5.2 GHz Zen 3) to load the .debug ELF in question, hits the 1-second
timeout and gets killed during initialization, getting restarted anew
every time. Having an in-process addr2line makes this much more robust.
As future extensions, libllvm can be used in many other places where
we currently use libbfd or other libraries:
- Symbol enumeration (in particular, for PE binaries).
- Demangling (including non-Itanium demangling, e.g. Microsoft
or Rust).
- Disassembling (perf annotate).
However, these are much less pressing; most people don't profile PE
binaries, and perf has non-bfd paths for ELF. The same with demangling;
the default _cxa_demangle path works fine for most users, and while bfd
objdump can be slow on large binaries, it is possible to use
--objdump=llvm-objdump to get the speed benefits. (It appears
LLVM-based demangling is very simple, should we want that.)
Tested with LLVM 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19. For some reason, LLVM 12 was not
correctly detected using feature_check, and thus was not tested.

When retire_latency value is used in a metric formula, evsel would fork
a 'perf record' process with "-e" and "-W" options. 'perf record' will
collect required retire_latency values in parallel while 'perf stat' is
collecting counting values.
At the point of time that 'perf stat' stops counting, evsel would stop
'perf record' by sending sigterm signal to 'perf record' process.
Sampled data will be processed to get retire latency value. Another
thread is required to synchronize between 'perf stat' and 'perf record'
when we pass data through pipe.
Retire_latency evsel is not opened for 'perf stat' so that there is no
counter wasted on it. This commit includes code suggested by Namhyung to
adjust reading size for groups that include retire_latency evsels.
In current :R parsing implementation, the parser would recognize events
with retire_latency modifier and insert them into the evlist like a
normal event. Ideally, we need to avoid counting these events.
In this commit, at the time when a retire_latency evsel is read, set the
retire latency value processed from the sampled data to count value.
This sampled retire latency value will be used for metric calculation
and final event count print out. No special metric calculation and event
print out code required for retire_latency events.

There is a clash of the libbpf and capstone libraries, that ends up
with:
In file included from /usr/include/capstone/capstone.h:325,
from util/disasm.c:1513:
/usr/include/capstone/bpf.h:94:14: error: ‘bpf_insn’ defined as wrong kind of tag
94 | typedef enum bpf_insn {
So far we're just trying to avoid this by not having both headers
included in the same .c or .h file, do it one more time by moving the
BPF diassembly routines from util/disasm.c to util/disasm_bpf.c.
This is only being hit when building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1, i.e.
building with binutils-devel, that isn't the in the default build due to
a licencing clash. We need to reimplement what is now isolated in
util/disasm_bpf.c using some other library to have BPF annotation
feature that now only is available with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

The util/annotate.c code has both disassembly and sample annotation
related codes. Factor out the disasm part so that it can be handled
more easily.
No functional changes intended.
Committer notes:
Add missing include env.h, util.h, bpf-event.h and bpf-util.h to
disasm.c, to fix things like:
util/disasm.c: In function ‘symbol__disassemble_bpf’:
util/disasm.c:1203:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘perf_exe’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
1203 | perf_exe(tpath, sizeof(tpath));
