To update the perf/core codebase.

Fix conflict by moving arch__post_evsel_config(evsel, attr) to the end
of evsel__config(), after what was added in:

<title>perf inject: Adjust output data offset for backward compatibility</title>

<id>37ed2cddcbf1b52b03b9b2344c752ed867fa3539</id>
<content type='text'>
When 'perf inject' creates a new file, it reuses the data offset from
the input file. If there has been a change on the size of the header, as
happened in v5.12 -&gt; v5.13, the new offsets will be wrong, resulting in
a corrupted output file.

This change adds the function perf_session__data_offset to compute the
data offset based on the current header size, and uses that instead of
the offset from the original input file.

<title>perf header: Record non-CPU PMU capabilities</title>

<content type='text'>
PMUs advertise their capabilities via sysfs attribute files but
the perf tool currently parses only core(CPU) or hybrid core PMU
capabilities. Add support of recording non-core PMU capabilities
int perf.data header.

Note that a newly proposed HEADER_PMU_CAPS is replacing existing
HEADER_HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS. Special care is taken for hybrid core
PMUs by writing their capabilities first in the perf.data header
to make sure new perf.data file being read by old perf tool does
not break.

Currently all capabilities are stored in a single string separated by
NULL character. Instead, store them in an array which makes searching of
capability easier.

<title>perf inject: Keep some features sections from input file</title>

<content type='text'>
perf inject overwrites feature sections with information from the current
machine. It makes more sense to keep original information that describes
the machine or software when perf record was run.

Example: perf.data from "Desktop" injected on "nuc11"

 Before:

  $ perf script --header-only -i perf.data-from-desktop | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Thu May 19 09:55:50 2022
  # header version : 1
  # data offset    : 1208
  # data size      : 837480
  # feat offset    : 838688
  # hostname : Desktop
  # os release : 5.13.0-41-generic
  # perf version : 5.18.rc5.gac837f7ca7ed
  # arch : x86_64
  # nrcpus online : 28
  # nrcpus avail : 28
  # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9940X CPU @ 3.30GHz
  # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,85,4
  # total memory : 65548656 kB

  $ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

  $ perf script --header-only -i injected-perf.data | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Fri May 20 15:06:55 2022
  # header version : 1
  # data offset    : 1208
  # data size      : 837480
  # feat offset    : 838688
  # hostname : nuc11
  # os release : 5.17.5-local
  # perf version : 5.18.rc5.g0f828fdeb9af

  # total memory : 16012124 kB

 After:

  $ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

  $ perf script --header-only -i injected-perf.data | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Fri May 20 15:08:54 2022

perf inject overwrites feature sections with information from the current
machine. It makes more sense to keep original information that describes
the machine or software when perf record was run.

Example: perf.data from "Desktop" injected on "nuc11"

 Before:

  $ perf script --header-only -i perf.data-from-desktop | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Thu May 19 09:55:50 2022
  # header version : 1
  # data offset    : 1208
  # data size      : 837480
  # feat offset    : 838688
  # hostname : Desktop
  # os release : 5.13.0-41-generic
  # perf version : 5.18.rc5.gac837f7ca7ed
  # arch : x86_64
  # nrcpus online : 28
  # nrcpus avail : 28
  # cpudesc : Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9940X CPU @ 3.30GHz
  # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,85,4
  # total memory : 65548656 kB

  $ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

  $ perf script --header-only -i injected-perf.data | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Fri May 20 15:06:55 2022
  # header version : 1
  # data offset    : 1208
  # data size      : 837480
  # feat offset    : 838688
  # hostname : nuc11
  # os release : 5.17.5-local
  # perf version : 5.18.rc5.g0f828fdeb9af
  # arch : x86_64
  # nrcpus online : 8
  # nrcpus avail : 8

  # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,140,1
  # total memory : 16012124 kB

 After:

  $ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

  $ perf script --header-only -i injected-perf.data | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Fri May 20 15:08:54 2022

Many feature sections should not be re-written during perf inject. In
preparation to support that, add callbacks that a tool can use to copy
a feature section from elsewhere. perf inject will use this facility to
copy features sections from the input file.

<title>perf bench: Fix numa testcase to check if CPU used to bind task is online</title>

Perf numa bench test fails with error:

Testcase:

  ./perf bench numa mem -p 2 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0,8 -M 1,0 -s 20 -zZq --thp  1 --no-data_rand_walk

Failure snippet:

&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;
  Running 'numa/mem' benchmark:

  # Running main, "perf bench numa numa-mem -p 2 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0,8 -M 1,0 -s 20 -zZq --thp 1 --no-data_rand_walk"

  perf: bench/numa.c:333: bind_to_cpumask: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;

The Testcases uses CPU's 0 and 8. In function "parse_setup_cpu_list",
There is check to see if cpu number is greater than max cpu's possible
in the system ie via "if (bind_cpu_0 &gt;= g-&gt;p.nr_cpus || bind_cpu_1 &gt;=
g-&gt;p.nr_cpus) {".

But it could happen that system has say 48 CPU's, but only number of
online CPU's is 0-7. Other CPU's are offlined. Since "g-&gt;p.nr_cpus" is
48, so function will go ahead and set bit for CPU 8 also in cpumask (
td-&gt;bind_cpumask).

bind_to_cpumask function is called to set affinity using
sched_setaffinity and the cpumask. Since the CPU8 is not present, set
affinity will fail here with EINVAL.

Fix this issue by adding a check to make sure that, CPU's provided in
the input argument values are online before proceeding further and skip
the test. For this, include new helper function "is_cpu_online" in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".

Since "BIT(x)" definition will get included from header.h, remove
that from bench/numa.c
