When build static perf, Makefile reports the error:

The libdw has been installed on the system, but the build system fails
to build the feature detecting binary 'test-libdw-dwarf-unwind'. The
failure is caused by missing to link the lib 'zstd'.

Since libdw version 0.177, elfutils has merged libebl.a into libdw (see
the commit "libebl: Don't install libebl.a, libebl.h and remove backends
from spec." in the elfutils repository).
As a result, libebl.a does not exist on Debian Bullseye and newer
releases, causing static perf builds to fail on these distributions.
This commit checks the libdw version and only links libebl.a if it
detects that the libdw version is older than 0.177.

Python configuration has dedicated folders for different architectures.
For example, Python 3.11 has two folders as shown below, one for Arm64
and another for x86_64:
/usr/lib/python3.11/config-3.11-aarch64-linux-gnu/
/usr/lib/python3.11/config-3.11-x86_64-linux-gnu/
This commit updates the Python configuration path based on the
compiler's machine type, guiding the compiler to find the correct path
for Python libraries. It also renames the generated .so file name to
match the machine name.

On recent Linux distros like Ubuntu Noble and Debian Bookworm, the
'pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu' package is missing. As a result, the
aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config command is not available, which causes
build failures.
When a build passes the environment variables PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR or
PKG_CONFIG_PATH, like a user uses make command or a build system
(like Yocto, Buildroot, etc) prepares the variables and passes to the
Perf's Makefile, the commit keeps these variables for package
configuration. Otherwise, this commit sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
variable to use the Multiarch libs for the cross compilation.

With 0dd5041c9a ("perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions"),
when cpumode is 3 (macro PERF_RECORD_MISC_HYPERVISOR),
thread__find_map() could return with al->maps being NULL.
The path below could add a callchain_cursor_node with NULL ms.maps.
add_callchain_ip()
thread__find_symbol(.., &al)
thread__find_map(.., &al) // al->maps becomes NULL
ms.maps = maps__get(al.maps)
callchain_cursor_append(..., &ms, ...)
node->ms.maps = maps__get(ms->maps)
Then the path below would dereference NULL maps and get segfault.
fill_callchain_info()

Fix it by checking if maps is NULL in fill_callchain_info().

* Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested
virtualization enablement
* Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling
(in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware
* Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1 of
the protocol
* FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
and exception routing
* New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under KVM
* Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor
* Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX
* Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates
LoongArch:
* Add paravirt steal time support.
* Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET.
* Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch.
RISC-V:
* Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest
* perf kvm stat support
* Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available
ONE_REG support for the Zimop, Zcmop, Zca, Zcf, Zcd, Zcb and Zawrs ISA
extensions is coming through the RISC-V tree.
s390:
* Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical
x86:
* Fixes for Xen emulation.
* Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g. EFER
* Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the effective APIC
bus frequency, because TDX.
* Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant tracepoint.
* Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to consistently act on
"compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking for a specific vendor.
* Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on CPUs
that support self-snoop.
* Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure.
* Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as it reads
'0' and writes from userspace are ignored.
* Misc cleanups
x86 - MMU:
* Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
Intel TDX support.
* Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages that can't
hold leafs SPTEs.
* Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables for eager
page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting huge pages.
* Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE that is
non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a broken state
because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's all but dangerous
to let more MMU changes happen afterwards.
x86 - AMD:
* Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware.
* Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into an
instrumentable function from noinstr code.
* Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes
a new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,
there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated pages
before mapping them into guest private memory ranges.
This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough to
say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification.
There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
for the host to provide certificate data for those keys. To support
fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit type will be
needed to handle fetching the certificate from userspace. An attempt to
define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO/KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS exit type to handle
this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but is still being discussed
by community, so for now this patchset only implements a stub version
of SNP Extended Guest Requests that does not provide certificate data.
x86 - Intel:
* Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware.
* Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested pending posted

* KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch emulation
Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are triggered when
emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support userspace MMIO during
complex (multi-step) emulation. Silently ignoring the exit request can
result in the WARN_ON_ONCE(vcpu->mmio_needed) firing if KVM exits to
userspace for some other reason prior to purging mmio_needed.
See commit 0dc902267c ("KVM: x86: Suppress pending MMIO write exits if
emulator detects exception") for more details on KVM's limitations with
respect to emulated MMIO during complex emulator flows.
Generic:
* Rename the AS_UNMOVABLE flag that was introduced for KVM to AS_INACCESSIBLE,
because the special casing needed by these pages is not due to just
unmovability (and in fact they are only unmovable because the CPU cannot
access them).
* New ioctl to populate the KVM page tables in advance, which is useful to
mitigate KVM page faults during guest boot or after live migration.
The code will also be used by TDX, but (probably) not through the ioctl.
* Enable halt poll shrinking by default, as Intel found it to be a clear win.
* Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM to avoid having to synchronize
SRCU when creating a split IRQCHIP on x86.
* Rework the sched_in/out() paths to replace kvm_arch_sched_in() with a flag
that arch code can use for hooking both sched_in() and sched_out().
* Take the vCPU @id as an "unsigned long" instead of "u32" to avoid
truncating a bogus value from userspace, e.g. to help userspace detect bugs.
* Mark a vCPU as preempted if and only if it's scheduled out while in the
KVM_RUN loop, e.g. to avoid marking it preempted and thus writing guest
memory when retrieving guest state during live migration blackout.
Selftests:
* Remove dead code in the memslot modification stress test.
* Treat "branch instructions retired" as supported on all AMD Family 17h+ CPUs.
* Print the guest pseudo-RNG seed only when it changes, to avoid spamming the
log for tests that create lots of VMs.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Initial infrastructure for shadow stage-2 MMUs, as part of nested
virtualization enablement
- Support for userspace changes to the guest CTR_EL0 value, enabling
(in part) migration of VMs between heterogenous hardware
- Fixes + improvements to pKVM's FF-A proxy, adding support for v1.1
of the protocol
- FPSIMD/SVE support for nested, including merged trap configuration
and exception routing
- New command-line parameter to control the WFx trap behavior under
KVM
- Introduce kCFI hardening in the EL2 hypervisor
- Fixes + cleanups for handling presence/absence of FEAT_TCRX
- Miscellaneous fixes + documentation updates
LoongArch:
- Add paravirt steal time support
- Add support for KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET
- Add perf kvm-stat support for loongarch
RISC-V:
- Redirect AMO load/store access fault traps to guest
- perf kvm stat support
- Use guest files for IMSIC virtualization, when available
s390:
- Assortment of tiny fixes which are not time critical
x86:
- Fixes for Xen emulation
- Add a global struct to consolidate tracking of host values, e.g.
EFER
- Add KVM_CAP_X86_APIC_BUS_CYCLES_NS to allow configuring the
effective APIC bus frequency, because TDX
- Print the name of the APICv/AVIC inhibits in the relevant
tracepoint
- Clean up KVM's handling of vendor specific emulation to
consistently act on "compatible with Intel/AMD", versus checking
for a specific vendor
- Drop MTRR virtualization, and instead always honor guest PAT on
CPUs that support self-snoop
- Update to the newfangled Intel CPU FMS infrastructure
- Don't advertise IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_OVF_CTRL as an MSR-to-be-saved, as
it reads '0' and writes from userspace are ignored
- Misc cleanups
x86 - MMU:
- Small cleanups, renames and refactoring extracted from the upcoming
Intel TDX support
- Don't allocate kvm_mmu_page.shadowed_translation for shadow pages
that can't hold leafs SPTEs
- Unconditionally drop mmu_lock when allocating TDP MMU page tables
for eager page splitting, to avoid stalling vCPUs when splitting
huge pages
- Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE
that is non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a
broken state because the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, it's
all but dangerous to let more MMU changes happen afterwards
x86 - AMD:
- Make per-CPU save_area allocations NUMA-aware
- Force sev_es_host_save_area() to be inlined to avoid calling into
an instrumentable function from noinstr code
- Base support for running SEV-SNP guests. API-wise, this includes a
new KVM_X86_SNP_VM type, encrypting/measure the initial image into
guest memory, and finalizing it before launching it. Internally,
there are some gmem/mmu hooks needed to prepare gmem-allocated
pages before mapping them into guest private memory ranges
This includes basic support for attestation guest requests, enough
to say that KVM supports the GHCB 2.0 specification
There is no support yet for loading into the firmware those signing
keys to be used for attestation requests, and therefore no need yet
for the host to provide certificate data for those keys.
To support fetching certificate data from userspace, a new KVM exit
type will be needed to handle fetching the certificate from
userspace.
An attempt to define a new KVM_EXIT_COCO / KVM_EXIT_COCO_REQ_CERTS
exit type to handle this was introduced in v1 of this patchset, but
is still being discussed by community, so for now this patchset
only implements a stub version of SNP Extended Guest Requests that
does not provide certificate data
x86 - Intel:
- Remove an unnecessary EPT TLB flush when enabling hardware
- Fix a series of bugs that cause KVM to fail to detect nested
pending posted interrupts as valid wake eents for a vCPU executing
HLT in L2 (with HLT-exiting disable by L1)
- KVM: x86: Suppress MMIO that is triggered during task switch
emulation
Explicitly suppress userspace emulated MMIO exits that are
triggered when emulating a task switch as KVM doesn't support
userspace MMIO during complex (multi-step) emulation

This is a bug found when implementing pretty-printing for the
landlock_add_rule system call, I decided to send this patch separately
because this is a serious bug that should be fixed fast.
I wrote a test program to do landlock_add_rule syscall in a loop,
yet perf trace -e landlock_add_rule freezes, giving no output.
This bug is introduced by the false understanding of the variable "key"
below:
```
for (key = 0; key < trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries; ++key) {
struct syscall *sc = trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key);
...
}
```
The code above seems right at the beginning, but when looking at
syscalltbl.c, I found these lines:
```
for (i = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i)
if (syscalltbl_native[i])
++nr_entries;
entries = tbl->syscalls.entries = malloc(sizeof(struct syscall) * nr_entries);
...
for (i = 0, j = 0; i <= syscalltbl_native_max_id; ++i) {
if (syscalltbl_native[i]) {
entries[j].name = syscalltbl_native[i];
entries[j].id = i;
++j;
}
}
```
meaning the key is merely an index to traverse the syscall table,
instead of the actual syscall id for this particular syscall.
So if one uses key to do trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key), because
key only goes up to trace->sctbl->syscalls.nr_entries, for example, on
my X86_64 machine, this number is 373, it will end up neglecting all
the rest of the syscall, in my case, everything after `rseq`, because
the traversal will stop at 373, and `rseq` is the last syscall whose id
is lower than 373
in tools/perf/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.c:
```
...
[334] = "rseq",
[424] = "pidfd_send_signal",
...
```
The reason why the key is scrambled but perf trace works well is that
key is used in trace__syscall_info(trace, NULL, key) to do
trace->syscalls.table[id], this makes sure that the struct syscall returned
actually has an id the same value as key, making the later bpf_prog
matching all correct.
After fixing this bug, I can do perf trace on 38 more syscalls, and
because more syscalls are visible, we get 8 more syscalls that can be
augmented.

Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "faccessat2"
Reusing "openat" BPF sys_enter augmenter for "fchmodat2"
as for the perf trace output:
before
perf $ perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
[no output]
after
perf $ ./perf trace -e faccessat2 --max-events=1
0.000 ( 0.037 ms): waybar/958 faccessat2(dfd: 40, filename: "uevent") = 0
P.S. The reason why this bug was not found in the past five years is
probably because it only happens to the newer syscalls whose id is
greater, for instance, faccessat2 of id 439, which not a lot of people
care about when using perf trace.
[Arnaldo]: notes
That and the fact that the BPF code was hidden before having to use -e,
that got changed kinda recently when we switched to using BPF skels for
augmenting syscalls in 'perf trace':

I.e. from August, 2023.
One had as well to ask for BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, which now is default if all
it needs is available on the system.
I simplified the code to not expose the 'struct syscall' outside of
tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c, instead providing a function to go from
the index to the syscall id:
int syscalltbl__id_at_idx(struct syscalltbl *tbl, int idx);

A platform can have more than one Arm SPE PMU. For example, a system
with multiple clusters may have each cluster enabled with its own Arm
SPE instance. In such case, the PMU devices will be named 'arm_spe_0',
'arm_spe_1', and so on.
Currently, the tool only supports 'arm_spe_0'. This commit extends
support to multiple Arm SPE PMUs by detecting the substring 'arm_spe_'.

Change the unused var in 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh' to '_'
when reading from '$sorted_table'. This change allows the script to pass
tests of ShellCheck before and after version 0.7.2 at the same time.
When building in arch x86, syscalltbl.sh got a ShellCheck warning, which
makes compilation error:
In arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh line 27:
while read nr _abi name entry _compat; do
^-^ SC2034: abi appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
^----^ SC2034: compat appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
The script reads unused param abi and compat. It uses format '_xxx' to
indicate dummy vars, which won't work properly when ShellCheck <= 0.7.2.
According to SC2034, the more general way of writing is to use directly
'_' to indicate discarding vars. 'entry' is also replaced by '_' because
it just happens to be defined in emit function, otherwise it will lead
to some misunderstandings.

By default, perf sched map prints sched-in events for all the tasks
which may not be required all the time as it prints lot of symbols
and rows to the terminal.
With --task-name option, one could specify the specific task name
for which the map has to be shown. This would help in analyzing the
CPU usage patterns easier for that specific task. Since multiple
PID's might have the same task name, using task-name filter
would be more useful for debugging.
For other tasks, instead of printing the symbol, '-' is printed and
the same '.' is used to represent idle. '-' is used instead of symbol
for other tasks because it helps in clear visualization of task
of interest and secondly the symbol itself doesn't mean anything
because the sched-in of that symbol will not be printed(first sched-in
contains pid and the corresponding symbol).
When using the --task-name option, the sched-out time is represented
by a '*-'. Since not all task sched-in events are printed, the sched-out
time of the relevant task might be lost. This representation ensures
that the sched-out time of the interested task is not overlooked.

Currently, the -r/--repeat option accepts values from 0 and complains
for -1. The help section specifies:
-r, --repeat <n> repeat the workload replay N times (-1: infinite)
The -r -1 option raises an error because replay_repeat is defined as
an unsigned int.
In the current implementation, the workload is repeated n times when
-r <n> is used, except when n is 0.
When -r is set to 0, the workload is also repeated once. This happens
because when -r=0, the run_one_test function is not called. (Note that
mutex unlocking, which is essential for child threads spawned to emulate
the workload, happens in run_one_test.) However, mutex unlocking is
still performed in the destroy_tasks function. Thus, -r=0 results in the
workload running once coincidentally.
To clarify and maintain the existing logic for -r >= 1 (which runs the
workload the specified number of times) and to fix the issue with infinite
runs, make -r=0 perform an infinite run.

Arm PMUs have a suffix, either a single decimal (armv8_pmuv3_0) or 3 hex
digits which (armv8_cortex_a53) which Perf assumes are both strippable
suffixes for the purposes of deduplication. S390 "cpum_cf" is a
similarly suffixed core PMU but is only two characters so is not treated
as strippable because the rules are a minimum of 3 hex characters or 1
decimal character.
There are two paths involved in listing PMU events:
* HW/cache event printing assumes core PMUs don't have suffixes so
doesn't try to strip.
* Sysfs PMU events share the printing function with uncore PMUs which
strips.
This results in slightly inconsistent Perf list behavior if a core PMU
has a suffix:
# perf list
...
armv8_pmuv3_0/branch-load-misses/
armv8_pmuv3/l3d_cache_wb/ [Kernel PMU event]
...
Fix it by partially reverting back to the old list behavior where
stripping was only done for uncore PMUs. For example commit 8d9f5146f5
("perf pmus: Sort pmus by name then suffix") mentions that only PMUs
starting 'uncore_' are considered to have a potential suffix. This
change doesn't go back that far, but does only strip PMUs that are
!is_core. This keeps the desirable behavior where the many possibly
duplicated uncore PMUs aren't repeated, but it doesn't break listing for
core PMUs.
Searching for a PMU continues to use the new stripped comparison
functions, meaning that it's still possible to request an event by
specifying the common part of a PMU name, or even open events on
multiple similarly named PMUs. For example:
# perf stat -e armv8_cortex/inst_retired/
5777173628 armv8_cortex_a53/inst_retired/ (99.93%)
7469626951 armv8_cortex_a57/inst_retired/ (49.88%)

mypmu_1
mypmu_2
mypmu_4

Since commit f91fa2ae63 ("perf pmu: Refactor perf_pmu__match()"), only
"*" has been supported, removing the ability to subset PMUs, even though
parse-events.l still supports ? and [] characters.
Fix it by using fnmatch() when any glob character is detected and add a

It's possible to save pipe output of perf record into a file.
$ perf record -o- ... > pipe.data
And you can use the data same as the normal perf data.
$ perf report -i pipe.data
In that case, perf tools will treat the input as a pipe, but it can get
the total size of the input. This means it can show the progress bar

The test has been failing for some time when two separate runs of
perf benchmarks are recorded for cycles events and their counts are
compared, while once the recording was done with option --bpf-counters
and once without it. It is expected that the count of the samples
