Commit 9b07e27f88 ("perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support")
incorrectly assumed that PowerPC is big endian only.
Simplify things by consolidating the define of GEN_ELF_ENDIAN and checking
for __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.
The PowerPC checks were also incorrect, they do not match what gcc
emits. We should first look for __powerpc64__, then __powerpc__.

The 4b3a321223 ("perf hists browser: Support flat callchains") commit
over-aggressively tried to optimize callchain_node__init_have_children().
That lead to --tui mode not allowing to expand call chain elements if a
call chain element had only one parent. That's why --inverted callgraphs
looked halfway sane, but plain ones didn't.
Revert that individual optimization, it wasn't really related to the
rest of the commit.

In 473398a21d ("perf tools: Add cpumode to struct perf_sample"), I
missed some places where perf_sample fields are directly initialized in
addition to what is done in perf_evsel__parse_sample(), namely when
synthesizing PERF_RECORD_{MMAP*,COMM,FORK,EXIT} for pre-existing threads
and also in intel_pt and intel_bts when synthesizing events from
processor trace, the jitdump code also was affected, fix it.
The problem was noticed with running:
# perf record -e intel_pt//u true
# perf script
Where the samples wouldn't get resolved because perf_sample.cpumode
would be left as zero, i.e. PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_UNKNOWN, not
resolving as kernel, hypervisor or user cpu modes.

Commit 531d241063 ("perf tools: Do not include stringify.h from the

"util/header.h" from "arch/powerpc/util/header.c".
"util/header.h" provides the prototype for get_cpuid() and is needed to

So the test flow is:
1. Run: 'make -C tools/perf build-test'
2. One of its tests failed, in this case, the 'tarpkg' one
3. Look at what went wrong, by looking at the output of that test, in
tools/perf/tarpkg
Admittedly, this should be shortcircuited to showing what went wrong directly
from the 'make build-test' step, but lets first fix this tarpkg one and the
problem it spotted, which should be fixed by adding some extra file to the
tools/perf/MANIFEST so that detached tarballs continue being self contained and
build successfully.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

In tracepoints, it's possible to print gfp flags in a human-friendly
format through a macro show_gfp_flags(), which defines a translation
array and passes is to __print_flags(). Since the following patch will
introduce support for gfp flags printing in printk(), it would be nice
to reuse the array. This is not straightforward, since __print_flags()
can't simply reference an array defined in a .c file such as mm/debug.c
- it has to be a macro to allow the macro magic to communicate the
format to userspace tools such as trace-cmd.
The solution is to create a macro __def_gfpflag_names which is used both
in show_gfp_flags(), and to define the gfpflag_names[] array in
mm/debug.c.
On the other hand, mm/debug.c also defines translation tables for page
flags and vma flags, and desire was expressed (but not implemented in
this series) to use these also from tracepoints. Thus, this patch also
renames the events/gfpflags.h file to events/mmflags.h and moves the
table definitions there, using the same macro approach as for gfpflags.
This allows translating all three kinds of mm-specific flags both in
tracepoints and printk.

The topology test case of 'perf test' seems to be broken on my x86
system - due to the comparison of a "core-id" with # of CPUs online.
There are 8 online CPUs:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
0-7
but core-ids are not sequential and some core-ids exceed the number
of online CPUs.
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology/core_id

Add a new mode to only print metrics. Sometimes we don't care about the
raw values, just want the computed metrics. This allows more compact
printing, so with -I each sample is only a single line. This also
allows easier plotting and processing with other tools.
The main target is with using --topdown, but it also works with -T and
standard perf stat. A few metrics are not supported.
To avoiding having to hardcode all the metrics in the code it uses a two
pass approach: first compute dummy metrics and only print the headers in
the print_metric callback. Then use the callback to print the actual
values.
There are some additional changes in the stat printout code to handle
all metrics being on a single line.
One issue is that the column code doesn't know in advance what events
are not supported by the CPU, and it would be hard to find out as this
could change based on dynamic conditions. That causes empty columns in
some cases.
The output can be fairly wide, often you may need more than 80 columns.
Example:
% perf stat -a -I 1000 --metric-only
1.001452803 frontend cycles idle insn per cycle stalled cycles per insn branch-misses of all branches
1.001452803 158.91% 0.66 2.39 2.92%

The context menu in TUI hists browser checks corresponding sort keys
when creating the menu item. But hotkey actions lacks these checks so
it can filter using incorrect info.
For example, default sort key of 'perf top' doesn't contain 'comm' or
'pid' sort key so each hist entry's thread info is not reliable. Thus
it should prohibit using thread filter on 't' key.

The commit 2eafd410e6 ("perf hists browser: Only 'Zoom into thread'
only when sort order has 'pid'") disabled thread filtering in hist
browser for the default sort key. However the he->thread is still valid
even if 'pid' sort key is not given. Only thing it should not use is
the pid (or tid) of the thread. So allow to filter by thread when
'comm' sort key is given and show pid only if 'pid' sort key is given.

When hierarchy mode is enabled, each entry in a hierarchy level shares
the period. IOW an upper level entry's period is the sum of lower level
entries. Thus perf uses only one of them to calculate the total period
of hists. It was lowest-level (leaf) entries but it has a problem when
it comes to filters.
If a filter is applied, entries in the same level will be filtered or
not. But upper level entries still have period of their sum including
filtered one. So total sum of upper level entries will not be same as
sum of lower level entries.
This resulted in entries having more than 100% of overhead and it can be
produced using perf top with filter(s).

When a command-line filter is applied in hierarchy mode, output is
broken especially when filtering on lower level. The higher level
entries doesn't show up so it's hard to see the results.
Also it needs to handle multi sort keys in a single hierarchy level.
