Pull perf tool updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 "New features:

   - Support instruction latency in 'perf report', with both memory
     latency (weight) and instruction latency information, users can
     locate expensive load instructions and understand time spent in
     different stages.

   - Extend 'perf c2c' to display the number of loads which were blocked
     by data or address conflict.

   - Add 'perf stat' support for L2 topdown events in systems such as
     Intel's Sapphire rapids server.

   - Add support for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE in various tools, as a
     sort key, for instance:

        perf report --stdio --sort=comm,symbol,code_page_size

   - New 'perf daemon' command to run long running sessions while
     providing a way to control the enablement of events without
     restarting a traditional 'perf record' session.

   - Enable counting events for BPF programs in 'perf stat' just like
     for other targets (tid, cgroup, cpu, etc), e.g.:

        # perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
           1.487903822            115,200      ref-cycles
           1.487903822             86,012      cycles
           2.489147029             80,560      ref-cycles
           2.489147029             73,784      cycles
        ^C

     The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program
     of id 254. It is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
     flexible.

   - Support the new layout for PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 to carry the DSO
     build-id using infrastructure generalised from the eBPF subsystem,
     removing the need for traversing the perf.data file to collect
     build-ids at the end of 'perf record' sessions and helping with
     long running sessions where binaries can get replaced in updates,
     leading to possible mis-resolution of symbols.

   - Support filtering by hex address in 'perf script'.

   - Support DSO filter in 'perf script', like in other perf tools.

   - Add namespaces support to 'perf inject'

   - Add support for SDT (Dtrace Style Markers) events on ARM64.

  perf record:

   - Fix handling of eventfd() when draining a buffer in 'perf record'.

   - Improvements to the generation of metadata events for pre-existing
     threads (mmaps, comm, etc), speeding up the work done at the start
     of system wide or per CPU 'perf record' sessions.

  Hardware tracing:

   - Initial support for tracing KVM with Intel PT.

   - Intel PT fixes for IPC

   - Support Intel PT PSB (synchronization packets) events.

   - Automatically group aux-output events to overcome --filter syntax.

   - Enable PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC on ARMs SPE.

   - Update ARM's CoreSight hardware tracing OpenCSD library to v1.0.0.

  perf annotate TUI:

   - Fix handling of 'k' ("show line number") hotkey

   - Fix jump parsing for C++ code.

  perf probe:

   - Add protection to avoid endless loop.

  cgroups:

   - Avoid reading cgroup mountpoint multiple times, caching it.

   - Fix handling of cgroup v1/v2 in mixed hierarchy.

  Symbol resolving:

   - Add OCaml symbol demangling.

   - Further fixes for handling PE executables when using perf with Wine
     and .exe/.dll files.

   - Fix 'perf unwind' DSO handling.

   - Resolve symbols against debug file first, to deal with artifacts
     related to LTO.

   - Fix gap between kernel end and module start on powerpc.

  Reporting tools:

   - The DSO filter shouldn't show samples in unresolved maps.

   - Improve debuginfod support in various tools.

  build ids:

   - Fix 16-byte build ids in 'perf buildid-cache', add a 'perf test'
     entry for that case.

  perf test:

   - Support for PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT.

   - Add test case for PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE.

   - Shell based tests for 'perf daemon's commands ('start', 'stop,
     'reconfig', 'list', etc).

   - ARM cs-etm 'perf test' fixes.

   - Add parse-metric memory bandwidth testcase.

  Compiler related:

   - Fix 'perf probe' kretprobe issue caused by gcc 11 bug when used
     with -fpatchable-function-entry.

   - Fix ARM64 build with gcc 11's -Wformat-overflow.

   - Fix unaligned access in sample parsing test.

   - Fix printf conversion specifier for IP addresses on arm64, s390 and
     powerpc.

  Arch specific:

   - Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of
     extended regs on powerpc.

   - Add JSON 'perf stat' metrics for ARM64's imx8mp, imx8mq and imx8mn
     DDR, fix imx8mm ones.

   - Fix common and uarch events for ARM64's A76 and Ampere eMag"

<title>tools: Factor Clang, LLC and LLVM utils definitions</title>

<content type='text'>
When dealing with BPF/BTF/pahole and DWARF v5 I wanted to build bpftool.

While looking into the source code I found duplicate assignments in misc tools
for the LLVM eco system, e.g. clang and llvm-objcopy.

Move the Clang, LLC and/or LLVM utils definitions to tools/scripts/Makefile.include
file and add missing includes where needed. Honestly, I was inspired by the commit
c8a950d0d3b9 ("tools: Factor HOSTCC, HOSTLD, HOSTAR definitions").

I tested with bpftool and perf on Debian/testing AMD64 and LLVM/Clang v11.1.0-rc1.

Build instructions:

[ make and make-options ]
MAKE="make V=1"
MAKE_OPTS="HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTLD=ld.lld CC=clang LD=ld.lld LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1"
MAKE_OPTS="$MAKE_OPTS PAHOLE=/opt/pahole/bin/pahole"

[ clean-up ]
$MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/ clean

[ bpftool ]
$MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/bpf/bpftool/

[ perf ]
PYTHON=python3 $MAKE $MAKE_OPTS -C tools/perf/

I was careful with respecting the user's wish to override custom compiler, linker,
GNU/binutils and/or LLVM utils settings.

Commit ba2fd563b740 ("tools/bpftool: Support passing BPFTOOL_VERSION to
make") changed BPFTOOL_VERSION to a recursively expanded variable,
forcing it to be recomputed on every expansion of CFLAGS and
dramatically slowing down the bpftool build. Restore BPFTOOL_VERSION as
a simply expanded variable, guarded by an ifeq().

Commit ba2fd563b740 ("tools/bpftool: Support passing BPFTOOL_VERSION to
make") changed BPFTOOL_VERSION to a recursively expanded variable,
forcing it to be recomputed on every expansion of CFLAGS and
dramatically slowing down the bpftool build. Restore BPFTOOL_VERSION as
a simply expanded variable, guarded by an ifeq().

The bpftool build first creates an intermediate binary, executed on the
host, to generate skeletons required by the final build. When
cross-building bpftool for an architecture different from the host, the
intermediate binary should be built using the host compiler (gcc) and
the final bpftool using the cross compiler (e.g. aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc).

Generate the intermediate objects into the bootstrap/ directory using
the host toolchain.

<title>tools/bpftool: Force clean of out-of-tree build</title>

Cleaning a partial build can fail if the output directory for libbpf
wasn't created:

$ make -C tools/bpf/bpftool O=/tmp/bpf clean
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /tmp/bpf/libbpf/: No such file or directory
tools/scripts/Makefile.include:17: *** output directory "/tmp/bpf/libbpf/" does not exist.  Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:36: /tmp/bpf/libbpf/libbpf.a-clean] Error 2

As a result make never gets around to clearing the leftover objects. Add
the libbpf output directory as clean dependency to ensure clean always
succeeds (similarly to the "descend" macro). The directory is later
removed by the clean recipe.

Rejecting non-native endian BTF overlapped with the addition
of support for it.

The rest were more simple overlapping changes, except the
renesas ravb binding update, which had to follow a file
move as well as a YAML conversion.

This change facilitates out-of-tree builds, packaging, and versioning for
test and debug purposes. Defining BPFTOOL_VERSION allows self-contained
builds within the tools tree, since it avoids use of the 'kernelversion'
target in the top-level makefile, which would otherwise pull in several
other includes from outside the tools tree.
