<title>perf record: Fix BTF type checks in the off-cpu profiling</title>

[ Upstream commit 0e501a65d35bf72414379fed0e31a0b6b81ab57d ]

The BTF func proto for a tracepoint has one more argument than the
actual tracepoint function since it has a context argument at the
begining.  So it should compare to 5 when the tracepoint has 4
arguments.

  typedef void (*btf_trace_sched_switch)(void *, bool, struct task_struct *, struct task_struct *, unsigned int);

Also, recent change in the perf tool would use a hand-written minimal
vmlinux.h to generate BTF in the skeleton.  So it won't have the info
of the tracepoint.  Anyway it should use the kernel's vmlinux BTF to
check the type in the kernel.

The issue was the use of testing a cpumap with NULL rather than using
empty, as a map containing the dummy value isn't NULL and the -1
results in an empty aggr map being allocated which legitimately
overflows when any member is accessed.

<title>perf evlist: Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event</title>

[ Upstream commit f9cdeb58a9cf46c09b56f5f661ea8da24b6458c3 ]

Dummy events are created with an attribute where the period and freq
are zero. evsel__config will then see the uninitialized values and
initialize them in evsel__default_freq_period. As fequency mode is
used by default the dummy event would be set to use frequency
mode. However, this has no effect on the dummy event but does cause
unnecessary timers/interrupts. Avoid this overhead by setting the
period to 1 for dummy events.

evlist__add_aux_dummy calls evlist__add_dummy then sets freq=0 and
period=1. This isn't necessary after this change and so the setting is
removed.

From Stephane:

The dummy event is not counting anything. It is used to collect mmap
records and avoid a race condition during the synthesize mmap phase of
perf record. As such, it should not cause any overhead during active
profiling. Yet, it did. Because of a bug the dummy event was
programmed as a sampling event in frequency mode. Events in that mode
incur more kernel overheads because on timer tick, the kernel has to
look at the number of samples for each event and potentially adjust
the sampling period to achieve the desired frequency. The dummy event
was therefore adding a frequency event to task and ctx contexts we may
otherwise not have any, e.g.,

  perf record -a -e cpu/event=0x3c,period=10000000/.

On each timer tick the perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() is invoked and
if ctx-&gt;nr_freq is non-zero, then the kernel will loop over ALL the
events of the context looking for frequency mode ones. In doing, so it
locks the context, and enable/disable the PMU of each hw event. If all
the events of the context are in period mode, the kernel will have to
traverse the list for nothing incurring overhead. The overhead is
multiplied by a very large factor when this happens in a guest kernel.
There is no need for the dummy event to be in frequency mode, it does
not count anything and therefore should not cause extra overhead for
no reason.
