Currently it unconditionally writes to stdout for repipe.  But perf
inject can direct its output to a regular file.  Then it needs to
write the header to the file as well.

Move evsel::leader to perf_evsel::leader, so we can move the group
interface to libperf.

Also add several evsel helpers to ease up the transition:

  struct evsel *evsel__leader(struct evsel *evsel);
  - get leader evsel

  bool evsel__has_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
  - true if evsel has leader as leader

  bool evsel__is_leader(struct evsel *evsel);
  - true if evsel is itw own leader

  void evsel__set_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
  - set leader for evsel

Committer notes:

Fix this when building with 'make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1'

  tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c

  -       if (evsel-&gt;leader-&gt;core.nr_members &gt; 1) {
  +       if (evsel-&gt;core.leader-&gt;nr_members &gt; 1) {

<title>perf header: Support HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS feature</title>
<updated>2021-05-17T13:58:10+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=e119083bab80c2550065f6c0f10ba225a894595e'/>
<id>e119083bab80c2550065f6c0f10ba225a894595e</id>
<content type='text'>
Perf has supported the CPU_PMU_CAPS feature to display a list of CPU PMU
capabilities. But on a hybrid platform, it may have several CPU PMUs (such
as "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom"). The CPU_PMU_CAPS feature is hard to extend
to support multiple CPU PMUs well if it needs to be compatible for the case
of old perf data file + new perf tool.

So for better compatibility we now create a new feature HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS
in the header.

For the perf.data generated on hybrid platform,

  root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I

  # cpu_core pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
  # cpu_atom pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
  # missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CPU_PMU_CAPS CLOCK_DATA

For the perf.data generated on non-hybrid platform

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I

  # cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake

Perf has supported the CPU_PMU_CAPS feature to display a list of CPU PMU
capabilities. But on a hybrid platform, it may have several CPU PMUs (such
as "cpu_core" and "cpu_atom"). The CPU_PMU_CAPS feature is hard to extend
to support multiple CPU PMUs well if it needs to be compatible for the case
of old perf data file + new perf tool.

So for better compatibility we now create a new feature HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS
in the header.

For the perf.data generated on hybrid platform,

  root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I

  # cpu_core pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
  # cpu_atom pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=alderlake_hybrid
  # missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CPU_PMU_CAPS CLOCK_DATA

For the perf.data generated on non-hybrid platform

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I

  # cpu pmu capabilities: branches=32, max_precise=3, pmu_name=skylake
  # missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CLOCK_DATA HYBRID_TOPOLOGY HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS

It is useful to let the user know about the hybrid topology.

Add the HYBRID_TOPOLOGY feature in header to indicate the core CPUs
and the atom CPUs.

With this patch a perf.data generated on a hybrid platform reports
the hybrid CPU list:

  root@otcpl-adl-s-2:~# perf report --header-only -I
  ...
  # hybrid cpu system:
  # cpu_core cpu list : 0-15
  # cpu_atom cpu list : 16-23

For a perf.data generated on a non-hybrid platform, reports a message
that HYBRID_TOPOLOGY is missing:

  root@kbl-ppc:~# perf report --header-only -I
  ...
  # missing features: TRACING_DATA BRANCH_STACK GROUP_DESC AUXTRACE STAT CLOCKID DIR_FORMAT COMPRESSED CLOCK_DATA HYBRID_TOPOLOGY

When there is a need to modify only timestamps, it is much simpler and
quicker to do it to the existing file rather than re-write all the
contents.

In preparation for that, add the ability to modify the input file in place.
In practice that just means making the file descriptor and mmaps writable.
