The same buf is used for the program headers and reading notes. As the
notes memory may be reallocated then this corrupts the memory pointed
to by the phdr. Using the same buffer is in any case a logic
error. Rather than deal with the duplicated code, introduce an elf32
boolean and a union for either the elf32 or elf64 headers that are in
use. Let the program headers have their own memory and grow the buffer
for notes as necessary.

Since there is no way to align compressed data in zstd compression, this
patch add a new event type `PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2`, which adds a field
`data_size` to specify the actual compressed data size.
The `header.size` contains the total record size, including the padding
at the end to make it 8-byte aligned.
Tested with `Zstd perf.data compression/decompression`

Sometimes we need to analyze the data in process level but current sort
keys only work on thread level. Let's add 'tgid' sort key for that as
'pid' is already taken for thread.
This will look mostly the same, but it only uses tgid instead of tid.
Here's an example of a process with two threads (thloop).
$ perf record -- perf test -w thloop
$ perf report --stdio -s tgid,pid -H

Unlike with events, metrics can be matched by name or a list of metric
groups.
However, when a metric refers to another metric it isn't referring to a
group but the singular metric in question.
Prior to this change every "id" in a metric expression is checked to see
if it is a metric by scanning all the metrics in the metrics table.
As the table is sorted my metric name we can speed the search in the
resolution case by binary searching for the metric.
Rename some of the metricgroup functions to make it clearer whether
they match a metric by name or by both name and group.

Finding an alias for things like perf_pmu__have_event() would need to
search the aliases list, whilst this happens relatively infrequently it
can be a significant overhead in testing.
Switch to using a hashmap. Move common initialization code to
perf_pmu__init(). Refactor the test 'struct perf_pmu_test_pmu' to not
have perf pmu within it to better support the perf_pmu__init() function.

The -C option allows the CPUs for a list of events to be specified but
its not possible to set the CPU for a single event. Add a term to
allow this. The term isn't a general CPU list due to ',' already being
a special character in event parsing instead multiple cpu= terms may
be provided and they will be merged/unioned together.
An example of mixing different types of events counted on different CPUs:
```

The Fixes commit did not add support for decoding PEBS-via-PT data_src.
Fix by adding support.
PEBS-via-PT is a feature of some E-core processors, starting with
processors based on Tremont microarchitecture. Because the kernel only
supports Intel PT features that are on all processors, there is no support
for PEBS-via-PT on hybrids.
Currently that leaves processors based on Tremont, Gracemont and Crestmont,
however there are no events on Tremont that produce data_src information,
and for Gracemont and Crestmont there are only:
mem-loads event=0xd0,umask=0x5,ldlat=3
mem-stores event=0xd0,umask=0x6
Affected processors include Alder Lake N (Gracemont), Sierra Forest
(Crestmont) and Grand Ridge (Crestmont).
Example:
# perf record -d -e intel_pt/branch=0/ -e mem-loads/aux-output/pp uname
Before:
# perf.before script --itrace=o -Fdata_src
0 |OP No|LVL N/A|SNP N/A|TLB N/A|LCK No|BLK N/A
0 |OP No|LVL N/A|SNP N/A|TLB N/A|LCK No|BLK N/A
After:
# perf script --itrace=o -Fdata_src
10268100142 |OP LOAD|LVL L1 hit|SNP None|TLB L1 or L2 hit|LCK No|BLK N/A
10450100442 |OP LOAD|LVL L2 hit|SNP None|TLB L2 miss|LCK No|BLK N/A

This is to slow down lock acquistion (on contention locks) deliberately.
A possible use case is to estimate impact on application performance by
optimization of kernel locking behavior. By delaying the lock it can
simulate the worse condition as a control group, and then compare with
the current behavior as a optimized condition.
The syntax is 'time@function' and the time can have unit suffix like
"us" and "ms". For example, I ran a simple test like below.
$ sudo perf lock con -abl -L tasklist_lock -- \
sh -c 'for i in $(seq 1000); do sleep 1 & done; wait'
contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol
92 1.18 ms 199.54 us 12.79 us ffffffff8a806080 tasklist_lock (rwlock)
The contention count was 92 and the average wait time was around 10 us.
But if I add 100 usec of delay to the tasklist_lock,
$ sudo perf lock con -abl -L tasklist_lock -J 100us@tasklist_lock -- \
sh -c 'for i in $(seq 1000); do sleep 1 & done; wait'
contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol
190 15.67 ms 230.10 us 82.46 us ffffffff8a806080 tasklist_lock (rwlock)
The contention count increased and the average wait time was up closed
to 100 usec. If I increase the delay even more,
$ sudo perf lock con -abl -L tasklist_lock -J 1ms@tasklist_lock -- \
sh -c 'for i in $(seq 1000); do sleep 1 & done; wait'
contended total wait max wait avg wait address symbol
1002 2.80 s 3.01 ms 2.80 ms ffffffff8a806080 tasklist_lock (rwlock)
Now every sleep process had contention and the wait time was more than 1
msec. This is on my 4 CPU laptop so I guess one CPU has the lock while
other 3 are waiting for it mostly.
For simplicity, it only supports global locks for now.

Switch output to using a strbuf so the storage can be resized.
Add a maximum size argument to avoid too much output that may happen for
uncore events.
Rename as scnprintf is no longer used.
Committer testing:
With the patch applied:
root@number:~# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf evlist__format_evsels
Added new event:
probe_perf:evlist_format_evsels (on evlist__format_evsels in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:evlist_format_evsels -aR sleep 1
root@number:~# perf probe -l
probe_perf:evlist_format_evsels (on evlist__format_evsels@util/evlist.c in /home/acme/bin/perf)

Prior to this patch evlist__has_hybrid would return false if the
processor wasn't hybrid or the evlist didn't contain any core
events. If the only PMU used by events was cpu_core then it would
true even though there are no cpu_atom events. For example:
```
$ perf stat --cputype=cpu_core -e '{cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles}' true

This patch changes evlist__has_hybrid to return true only if the
evlist contains events from >1 core PMU. This means the NMI watchdog
warning is shown for the case above.
