perf script: (Ravi Bangoria)

- Add missing output fields in a 'perf script -h' hint.

- Fix crash because of missing evsel-&gt;priv.

- Fix crash caused by accessing feat_ops[HEADER_LAST_FEATURE], which
  is just a end of features header marker.

perf stat: (Thomas Richter)

- Remove duplicate event counting

perf test:

- Wire parsing error handling in 'parse events' test (Jiri Olsa)

perf_event__process_feature() accesses feat_ops[HEADER_LAST_FEATURE]
which is not defined and thus perf is crashing. HEADER_LAST_FEATURE is
used as an end marker for the perf report but it's unused for perf
script/annotate. Ignore HEADER_LAST_FEATURE for perf script/annotate,
just like it is done in 'perf report'.

Currently we can hit following assert when running numa bench:

  $ perf bench numa mem -p 3 -t 1 -P 512 -s 100 -zZ0cm --thp 1
  perf: bench/numa.c:1577: __bench_numa: Assertion `!(!(((wait_stat) &amp; 0x7f) == 0))' failed.

The assertion is correct, because we hit the SIGFPE in following line:

  Thread 2.2 "thread 0/0" received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
  [Switching to Thread 0x7fffd28c6700 (LWP 11750)]
  0x000.. in worker_thread (__tdata=0x7.. ) at bench/numa.c:1257
  1257 td-&gt;speed_gbs = bytes_done / (td-&gt;runtime_ns / NSEC_PER_SEC) / 1e9;

We don't check if the runtime is actually bigger than 1 second,
and thus this might end up with zero division within FPU.

Adding the check to prevent this.

<id>6dde6429c5ff5b38d6d40a14a6ee105117e6364d</id>

'perf stat' shows a mismatch in perf stat regarding counter names on
s390:

Run command:

   [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -e tx_nc_tend  -v --
                ~/mytesttx 1 &gt;/tmp/111
   tx_nc_tend: 1 573146 573146
   tx_nc_tend: 1 573146 573146

   Performance counter stats for '/root/mytesttx 1':

                 3      tx_nc_tend

       0.001037252 seconds time elapsed

   [root@s35lp76 perf]#

shows transaction counter tx_nc_tend with value 3 but it was triggered
only once as seen by the output of mytesttx.

When looking up the event name tx_nc_tend the following function
sequence is called:

parse_events_multi_pmu_add()
+--&gt; perf_pmu__scan() being called with NULL argument
     +--&gt; pmu_read_sysfs() scans directory ../devices/ for
                           all PMUs
          +--&gt; perf_pmu__find() tries to find a PMU in the
                           global pmu list.
               +--&gt; pmu_lookup() called to read all file
                                 entries when not in global
                                 list.

pmu_lookup() causes the issue. It calls
+---&gt; pmu_aliases() to read all the entries in the PMU directory.
                    On s390 this is named
                    /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events.
      +--&gt; pmu_aliases_parse() reads all files and creates an
                       alias for each file name.

                       So we end up with first entry created by
                       reading the sysfs file
                       [root@s35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/devices/cpum_cf
                                                /events/TX_NC_TEND
                       event=0x008d
                       [root@s35lp76 perf]#

                       Debug output shows this entry
                       tx_nc_tend -&gt; 'cpum_cf'/'event=0x008d
                       '/
                       After all files in this directory have been
                       read and aliases created this function is called:
      +--&gt; pmu_add_cpu_aliases()
                       This function looks up the CPU tables
                       created by the json files.
                       With json files for s390 now available all
                       the aliases are added to
                       the PMU alias list a second time.
                       The second entry is added by
                       reading the json file converted by jevent
                       resulting in file pmu-events/pmu-events.c:

                       {
                         .name = "tx_nc_tend",

                        tx_nc_tend -&gt; 'cpum_cf'/'event=0x8d'/

Function pmu_aliases_parse() and pmu_add_cpu_aliases() both use
__perf_pmu__new_alias() to add an alias to the PMU alias list. There is
no check if an alias already exist

So we end up with 2 entries for tx_nc_tend in the PMU alias list.

Having set up the PMU alias list for this PMU now
parse_events_multi_add_pmu() reads the complete alias list and adds each
alias with parse_events_add_pmu() to the global perfev_list.  This
causes the alias to be added multiple times to the event list.

Fix this by making __perf_pmu__new_alias() to merge alias definitions if
an alias is already on the alias list.  Also print a debug message when
the alias has mismatches in some fields.

Output before:

  [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -e tx_nc_tend  -v \
                        -- ~/mytesttx 1 &gt;/tmp/111

'perf stat' shows a mismatch in perf stat regarding counter names on
s390:

Run command:

   [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf stat -e tx_nc_tend  -v --
                ~/mytesttx 1 &gt;/tmp/111
   tx_nc_tend: 1 573146 573146

                 3      tx_nc_tend

       0.001037252 seconds time elapsed

   [root@s35lp76 perf]#

shows transaction counter tx_nc_tend with value 3 but it was triggered
only once as seen by the output of mytesttx.

When looking up the event name tx_nc_tend the following function
sequence is called:

parse_events_multi_pmu_add()
+--&gt; perf_pmu__scan() being called with NULL argument
     +--&gt; pmu_read_sysfs() scans directory ../devices/ for
                           all PMUs
          +--&gt; perf_pmu__find() tries to find a PMU in the
                           global pmu list.
               +--&gt; pmu_lookup() called to read all file
                                 entries when not in global
                                 list.

pmu_lookup() causes the issue. It calls
+---&gt; pmu_aliases() to read all the entries in the PMU directory.
                    On s390 this is named
                    /sys/devices/cpum_cf/events.
      +--&gt; pmu_aliases_parse() reads all files and creates an
                       alias for each file name.

                       So we end up with first entry created by
                       reading the sysfs file
                       [root@s35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/devices/cpum_cf
                                                /events/TX_NC_TEND
                       event=0x008d
                       [root@s35lp76 perf]#

                       Debug output shows this entry
                       tx_nc_tend -&gt; 'cpum_cf'/'event=0x008d
                       '/
                       After all files in this directory have been
                       read and aliases created this function is called:
      +--&gt; pmu_add_cpu_aliases()
                       This function looks up the CPU tables
                       created by the json files.
                       With json files for s390 now available all
                       the aliases are added to
                       the PMU alias list a second time.
                       The second entry is added by
                       reading the json file converted by jevent
                       resulting in file pmu-events/pmu-events.c:

                       {
                         .name = "tx_nc_tend",
                         .event = "event=0x8d",

PMU alias definitions in sysfs files may have spaces, newlines and
numbers with leading zeroes. Some alias definitions may also appear in
JSON files without spaces, etc.

Scan alias definitions and remove leading zeroes, spaces, newlines, etc
and rebuild string to make alias-&gt;str member comparable.

s390 for example  has terms specified as event=0x0091 (read from files
../&lt;PMU&gt;/events/&lt;FILE&gt; and terms specified as event=0x91 (read from JSON
files).

Remove a trailing newline when reading sysfs file contents such as
/sys/devices/cpum_cf/events/TX_NC_TEND.  This shows when verbose option
-v is used.

This updates the tools/perf/ copy of the system call table for x86 which makes
'perf trace' become aware of the new 'io_pgetevents' and 'rseq' syscalls, no
matter in which system it gets built, i.e. older systems where the syscalls are
not available in the running kernel (via tracefs) or in the system headers will
still be aware of these syscalls/.

These are the csets introducing the source drift:

  05c17cedf85b ("x86: Wire up restartable sequence system call")
  7a074e96dee6 ("aio: implement io_pgetevents")

This results in this build time change:
