Variable names are inconsistent in hists__for_each macro().

Due to this inconsistency, the macro replaces its second argument with
"fmt" regardless of its original name.

So far it works because only "fmt" is passed to the second argument.
However, this behavior is not expected and should be fixed.

<title>perf map: Set kmap-&gt;kmaps backpointer for main kernel map chunks</title>

<content type='text'>
When a map is create to represent the main kernel area (vmlinux) with
map__new2() we allocate an extra area to store a pointer to the 'struct
maps' for the kernel maps, so that we can access that struct when
loading ELF files or kallsyms, as we will need to split it in multiple
maps, one per kernel module or ELF section (such as ".init.text").

So when map-&gt;dso-&gt;kernel is non-zero, it is expected that
map__kmap(map)-&gt;kmaps to be set to the tree of kernel maps (modules,
chunks of the main kernel, bpf progs put in place via
PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL, the main kernel).

This was not the case when we were splitting the main kernel into chunks
for its ELF sections, which ended up making 'perf report --children'
processing a perf.data file with callchains to trip on
__map__is_kernel(), when we press ENTER to see the popup menu for main
histogram entries that starts at a symbol in the ".init.text" ELF
section, e.g.:

-    8.83%     0.00%  swapper     [kernel.vmlinux].init.text  [k] start_kernel
     start_kernel
     cpu_startup_entry
     do_idle
     cpuidle_enter
     cpuidle_enter_state
     intel_idle

Fix it.

<title>perf header: Fix false warning when there are no duplicate cache entries</title>

<id>28707826877f84bce0977845ea529cbdd08e4e8d</id>
<content type='text'>
Before this patch, perf expected that there might be NPROC*4 unique
cache entries at max, however, it also expected that some of them would
be shared and/or of the same size, thus the final number of entries
would be reduced to be lower than NPROC*4. In case the number of entries
hadn't been reduced (was NPROC*4), the warning was printed.

However, some systems might have unusual cache topology, such as the
following two-processor KVM guest:

	cpu  level  shared_cpu_list  size
	  0     1         0           32K
	  0     1         0           64K
	  0     2         0           512K
	  0     3         0           8192K
	  1     1         1           32K
	  1     1         1           64K
	  1     2         1           512K
	  1     3         1           8192K

This KVM guest has 8 (NPROC*4) unique cache entries, which used to make
perf printing the message, although there actually aren't "way too many
cpu caches".

v2: Removing unused argument.

v3: Unifying the way we obtain number of cpus.

v4: Removed '&amp; UINT_MAX' construct which is redundant.

<title>perf metricgroup: Fix printing event names of metric group with multiple events</title>

Commit f01642e4912b ("perf metricgroup: Support multiple events for
metricgroup") introduced support for multiple events in a metric group.
But with the current upstream, metric events names are not printed
properly

In power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2
     1.000208486
     2.000368863
     2.001400558

Similarly in skylake platform:

command:./perf stat --metric-only -M Power -I 1000
     1.000579994
     2.002189493

With current upstream version, issue is with event name comparison logic
in find_evsel_group(). Current logic is to compare events belonging to a
metric group to the events in perf_evlist.  Since the break statement is
missing in the loop used for comparison between metric group and
perf_evlist events, the loop continues to execute even after getting a
pattern match, and end up in discarding the matches.

Incase of single metric event belongs to metric group, its working fine,
because in case of single event once it compare all events it reaches to
end of perf_evlist.

Example for single metric event in power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only  -M branches_per_inst -I 1000 sleep 1
     1.000094653                  0.2
     1.001337059                  0.0

This patch fixes the issue by making sure once we found all events
belongs to that metric event matched in find_evsel_group(), we
successfully break from that loop by adding corresponding condition.

With this patch:
In power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2
result:#
            time  derat_4k_miss_rate_percent  derat_4k_miss_ratio derat_miss_ratio derat_64k_miss_rate_percent  derat_64k_miss_ratio dslb_miss_rate_percent islb_miss_rate_percent

Commit f01642e4912b ("perf metricgroup: Support multiple events for
metricgroup") introduced support for multiple events in a metric group.
But with the current upstream, metric events names are not printed
properly

In power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2
     1.000208486
     2.000368863
     2.001400558

Similarly in skylake platform:

command:./perf stat --metric-only -M Power -I 1000
     1.000579994
     2.002189493

With current upstream version, issue is with event name comparison logic
in find_evsel_group(). Current logic is to compare events belonging to a
metric group to the events in perf_evlist.  Since the break statement is
missing in the loop used for comparison between metric group and
perf_evlist events, the loop continues to execute even after getting a
pattern match, and end up in discarding the matches.

Incase of single metric event belongs to metric group, its working fine,
because in case of single event once it compare all events it reaches to
end of perf_evlist.

Example for single metric event in power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only  -M branches_per_inst -I 1000 sleep 1
     1.000094653                  0.2
     1.001337059                  0.0

This patch fixes the issue by making sure once we found all events
belongs to that metric event matched in find_evsel_group(), we
successfully break from that loop by adding corresponding condition.

With this patch:
In power9 platform:

command:# ./perf stat --metric-only -M translation -C 0 -I 1000 sleep 2

Some of the functions calling get_cpuid() propagate back the error it
returns, and all are using errno (positive) values, make the weak
default get_cpuid() function return ENOSYS to be consistent and to allow
checking if this is an arch not providing this function or if a provided
one is having trouble getting the cpuid, to decide if the warning should
be provided to the user or just a debug message should be emitted.

Currently -F allows branch-mode / mem-mode fields with -F even
when perf report is not running in that mode. Don't allow that.

And update linux/linkage.h, which requires in turn that we make these
files switch from ENTRY()/ENDPROC() to SYM_FUNC_START()/SYM_FUNC_END():

  tools/perf/arch/arm64/tests/regs_load.S
  tools/perf/arch/arm/tests/regs_load.S
  tools/perf/arch/powerpc/tests/regs_load.S
  tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S

We also need to switch SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL() to SYM_FUNC_START() for
the functions used directly by 'perf bench', and update
tools/perf/check_headers.sh to ignore those changes when checking if the
kernel original files drifted from the copies we carry.

This is to get the changes from:

  6dcc5627f6ae ("x86/asm: Change all ENTRY+ENDPROC to SYM_FUNC_*")
  ef1e03152cb0 ("x86/asm: Make some functions local")
  e9b9d020c487 ("x86/asm: Annotate aliases")

And address these tools/perf build warnings:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'

<title>perf machine: Fill map_symbol-&gt;maps in append_inlines() to fix segfault</title>

<id>77b91c1a525d84cb560a4baef6f5f548b5c23f80</id>
<content type='text'>
I forgot to fill in the map_symbol-&gt;maps field in append_inlines() which
then makes code down the line segfault when trying to deref it.

It doesn't make any sense to have an addr_location with its 'map' member
not NULL while its 'maps' is NULL, after all al-&gt;maps is where al-&gt;map
is in.

It is done that way so that we don't have to have in each 'struct map' a
pointer to the 'struct maps' it is in, as we had in the past when we
would have 'map-&gt;mg', before 'struct maps' was combined with 'struct
map_groups', because there was always a one-to-one relationship for
these structs.

This fixes a segfault when processing DWARF callgraphs in 'perf report'.

pointer to the 'struct maps' it is in, as we had in the past when we
would have 'map-&gt;mg', before 'struct maps' was combined with 'struct
map_groups', because there was always a one-to-one relationship for
these structs.

This fixes a segfault when processing DWARF callgraphs in 'perf report'.

Adds a test for minimal jit_write_elf functionality.

Committer testing:

  # perf test jit
  61: Test jit_write_elf                                    : Ok
  #

  # perf test -v jit
  61: Test jit_write_elf                                    :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 10460
  Writing jit code to: /tmp/perf-test-KqxURR
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  Test jit_write_elf: Ok
  #

Committer notes:

Fix up the case where HAVE_JITDUMP is no defined.
