Linus Torvalds 57d17378a4 perf tools changes for v5.17: 1st batch
New features:
 
 - Add 'trace' subcommand for 'perf ftrace', setting the stage for more
   'perf ftrace' subcommands. Not using a subcommand yields the previous
   behaviour of 'perf ftrace'.
 
 - Add 'latency' subcommand to 'perf ftrace', that can use the function
   graph tracer or a BPF optimized one, via the -b/--use-bpf option.
 
   E.g.:
 
   $ sudo perf ftrace latency -a -T mutex_lock sleep 1

   The original implementation of this command was in the bcc tool.
 
 - Support --cputype option for hybrid events in 'perf stat'.
 
 Improvements:
 
 - Call chain improvements for ARM64.
 
 - No need to do any affinity setup when profiling pids.
 
 - Reduce multiplexing with duration_time in 'perf stat' metrics.
 
 - Improve error message for uncore events, stating that some event groups are
   can only be used in system wide (-a) mode.
 
 - perf stat metric group leader fixes/improvements, including arch specific
   changes to better support Intel topdown events.
 
 - Probe non-deprecated sysfs path 1st, i.e. try /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/thread_siblings
   first, then the old /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/core_cpus.
 
 - Disable debuginfod by default in 'perf record', to avoid stalls on distros
   such as Fedora 35.
 
 - Use unbuffered output in 'perf bench' when pipe/tee'ing to a file.
 
 - Enable ignore_missing_thread in 'perf trace'
 
 Fixes:
 
 - Avoid TUI crash when navigating in the annotation of recursive functions.
 
 - Fix hex dump character output in 'perf script'.
 
 - Fix JSON indentation to 4 spaces standard in the ARM vendor event files.
 
 - Fix use after free in metric__new().
 
 - Fix IS_ERR_OR_NULL() usage in the perf BPF loader.
 
 - Fix up cross-arch register support, i.e. when printing register names take
   into account the architecture where the perf.data file was collected.
 
 - Fix SMT fallback with large core counts.
 
 - Don't lower case MetricExpr when parsing JSON files so as not to lose info
   such as the ":G" event modifier in metrics.
 
 perf test:
 
 - Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling to 'perf test'.
 
 - Fix 'perf test' failures on s/390
 
 - Enable system wide for metricgroups test in 'perf test´.
 
 - Use 3 digits for test numbering now we can have more tests.
 
 Arch specific:
 
 - Add events for Arm Neoverse N2 in the ARM JSON vendor event files
 
 - Support PERF_MEM_LVLNUM encodings in powerpc, that came from a single
   patch series, where I incorrectly merged the kernel bits, that were then
   reverted after coordination with Michael Ellerman and Stephen Rothwell.
 
 - Add ARM SPE total latency as PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT.
 
 - Update AMD documentation, with info on raw event encoding.
 
 - Add support for global and local variants of the "p_stage_cyc" sort key,
   applicable to perf.data files collected on powerpc.
 
 - Remove duplicate and incorrect aux size checks in the ARM CoreSight ETM code.
 
 Refactorings:
 
 - Add a perf_cpu abstraction to disambiguate CPUs and CPU map indexes, fixing
   problems along the way.
 
 - Document CPU map methods.
 
 UAPI sync:
 
 - Update arch/x86/lib/mem{cpy,set}_64.S copies used in 'perf bench mem memcpy'
 
 - Sync UAPI files with the kernel sources: drm, msr-index, cpufeatures.
 
 Build system
 
 - Enable warnings through HOSTCFLAGS.
 
 - Drop requirement for libstdc++.so for libopencsd check
 
 libperf:
 
 - Make libperf adopt perf_counts_values__scale() from tools/perf/util/.
 
 - Add a stat multiplexing test to libperf.
