The evsel__clone() is to create an exactly same evsel from same
attributes. The function assumes the given evsel is not configured
yet so it cares fields set during event parsing. Those fields are now
moved together as Jiri suggested. Note that metric events will be
handled by later patch.
It will be used by perf stat to generate separate events for each
cgroup.

Since commit 0a892c1c94 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis"),
a dummy event is added to capture mmaps.
But if we run perf-record as,
# perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1
Error:
dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'
The issue is, if we enable the extended regs (-IXMM0), but the
pmu->capabilities is not set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS, the kernel
will return -EOPNOTSUPP error.
See following code:
/* in kernel/events/core.c */
static int perf_try_init_event(struct pmu *pmu, struct perf_event *event)
{
....
if (!(pmu->capabilities & PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS) &&
has_extended_regs(event))
ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
....
}
For software dummy event, the PMU should not be set with
PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS. But unfortunately now, the dummy
event has possibility to be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit.
In evsel__config, /* tools/perf/util/evsel.c */
if (opts->sample_intr_regs) {
attr->sample_regs_intr = opts->sample_intr_regs;
}
If we use -IXMM0, the attr>sample_regs_intr will be set with
PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit.
It doesn't make sense to set attr->sample_regs_intr for a
software dummy event.
This patch adds dummy event checking before setting
attr->sample_regs_intr and attr->sample_regs_user.
After:
# ./perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.413 MB perf.data (45 samples) ]
Committer notes:
Adrian said this when providing his Acked-by:
"
This is fine. It will not break PT.
no_aux_samples is useful for evsels that have been added by the code rather
than requested by the user. For old kernels PT adds sched_switch tracepoint
to track context switches (before the current context switch event was
added) and having auxiliary sample information unnecessarily uses up space
in the perf buffer.

Commit 0a892c1c94 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide
synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing.
Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it
is not the first event. Adding another dummy tracking event causes
duplicated sideband events. Fix by checking for an existing dummy
tracking event first.
Example showing duplicated switch events:

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.
With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:
$ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....
One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

Just like with the other fields, this probably isn't fixing anything
observable as evsel__new() uses zalloc() for the whole 'struct evsel',
but since evsels can be embedded in larger structures and maybe those
larger structures don't use zalloc() for some reason, init it to NULL
just in case.

When it is not possible for a non-privilege perf command to monitor at
the kernel level (:k), the fallback code forces a :u. That works if the
event was previously monitoring both levels. But if the event was
already constrained to kernel only, then it does not make sense to
restrict it to user only.
Given the code works by exclusion, a kernel only event would have:
attr->exclude_user = 1
The fallback code would add:
attr->exclude_kernel = 1
In the end the end would not monitor in either the user level or kernel
level. In other words, it would count nothing.
An event programmed to monitor kernel only cannot be switched to user
only without seriously warning the user.
This patch forces an error in this case to make it clear the request
cannot really be satisfied.
Behavior with paranoid 1:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid"
$ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

$ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1

New behavior with paranoid 2:
$ sudo bash -c "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid"
$ perf stat -e cycles:k sleep 1
Error:
You may not have permission to collect stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
The current value is 2:
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1

Move leader-sampling configuration in preparation for adding support for
leader sampling with AUX area events.
Committer notes:
It only makes sense when configuring an evsel that is part of an evlist,
so the only case where it is called outside perf_evlist__config(), in
some 'perf test' entry, is safe, and even there we should just use
perf_evlist__config(), but since in that case we have just one evsel in
the evlist, it is equivalent.
Also fixed up this problem:
util/record.c: In function ‘perf_evlist__config’:
util/record.c:223:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling’
223 | perf_evsel__config_leader_sampling(evsel, evlist);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Using 'type' variable for checking for callchains is equivalent to using
evsel__has_callchain(evsel) and is how the other PERF_SAMPLE_ bits are checked
in this function, so use it to be consistent.

Extend error messages to mention CAP_PERFMON capability as an option to
substitute CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for secure system performance
monitoring and observability operations. Make
perf_event_paranoid_check() and __cmd_ftrace() to be aware of
CAP_PERFMON capability.
CAP_PERFMON implements the principle of least privilege for performance
monitoring and observability operations (POSIX IEEE 1003.1e 2.2.2.39
principle of least privilege: A security design principle that states
that a process or program be granted only those privileges (e.g.,
capabilities) necessary to accomplish its legitimate function, and only
for the time that such privileges are actually required)
For backward compatibility reasons access to perf_events subsystem remains
open for CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileged processes but CAP_SYS_ADMIN usage for
secure perf_events monitoring is discouraged with respect to CAP_PERFMON
capability.

Note that using '38' in place of 'cap_perfmon' works to some degree with
an old libcap, its only when cap_get_flag() is called that libcap
performs an error check based on the maximum value known for
capabilities that it will fail.
This makes determining the default of perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to
fail, as it can't determine if CAP_PERFMON is in place.
Using 'perf top -e cycles' avoids the default check and sets
perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.
