commit 5b3cde198878b2f3269d5e7efbc0d514899b1fd8 upstream.

This reverts commit 7d1405c71df21f6c394b8a885aa8a133f749fa22.

This causes segfaults in some cases, as reported by Milian:

  ```
  sudo /usr/bin/perf record -z --call-graph dwarf -e cycles -e
  raw_syscalls:sys_enter ls
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
  malloc(): invalid next size (unsorted)
  Aborted
  ```

  Backtrace with GDB + debuginfod:

  ```

[ Upstream commit d9c5f5f94c2d356fdf3503f7fcaf254512bc032d ]

Sys events are eagerly loaded as each event has a compat option that may
mean the event is or isn't associated with the PMU.

These shouldn't be counted as loaded_json_events as that is used for
JSON events matching the CPUID that may or may not have been loaded. The
mismatch causes issues on ARM64 that uses sys events.

<title>perf pmu: Assume sysfs events are always the same case</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7b6dd7a923281a7ccb980a0f768d6926721eb3cc ]

Perf event names aren't case sensitive. For sysfs events the entire
directory of events is read then iterated comparing names in a case
insensitive way, most often to see if an event is present.

Consider:

  $ perf stat -e inst_retired.any true

The event inst_retired.any may be present in any PMU, so every PMU's
sysfs events are loaded and then searched with strcasecmp to see if
any match. This event is only present on the cpu PMU as a JSON event
so a lot of events were loaded from sysfs unnecessarily just to prove
an event didn't exist there.

This change avoids loading all the events by assuming sysfs event
names are always either lower or uppercase. It uses file exists and
only loads the events when the desired event is present.

For the example above, the number of openat calls measured by 'perf
trace' on a tigerlake laptop goes from 325 down to 255. The reduction
will be larger for machines with many PMUs, particularly replicated
uncore PMUs.

Ensure pmu_aliases_parse() is called before all uses of the aliases
list, but remove some "pmu-&gt;sysfs_aliases_loaded" tests as they are now
part of the function.

<title>perf tools: Add/use PMU reverse lookup from config to name</title>

[ Upstream commit 67ee8e71daabb8632931b7559e5c8a4b69a427f8 ]

Add perf_pmu__name_from_config that does a reverse lookup from a
config number to an alias name. The lookup is expensive as the config
is computed for every alias by filling in a perf_event_attr, but this
is only done when verbose output is enabled. The lookup also only
considers config, and not config1, config2 or config3.

An example of the output:

  $ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
  ...
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             24 (uncore_imc_free_running_0)
    size                             136
    config                           0x20ff (data_read)
    sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...

Committer notes:

Fix the python binding build by adding dummies for not strictly
needed perf_pmu__name_from_config() and perf_pmus__find_by_type().

<title>perf tools: Use pmus to describe type from attribute</title>

[ Upstream commit 7093882067e2e2f88d3449c35c5f0f3f566c8a26 ]

When dumping a perf_event_attr, use pmus to find the PMU and its name
by the type number. This allows dynamically added PMUs to be described.

Before:

  $ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
  ...
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             24
    size                             136
    config                           0x20ff
    sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...

After:

  $ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
  ...
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             24 (uncore_imc_free_running_0)
    size                             136
    config                           0x20ff
    sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...

However, it also means that when we have a PMU name we prefer it to a
hard coded name:

Before:

  $ perf stat -vv -e faults true
  ...
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
    size                             136
    config                           0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
    sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    enable_on_exec                   1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...

After:

  $ perf stat -vv -e faults true
  ...
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             1 (software)
    size                             136
    config                           0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
    sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    enable_on_exec                   1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...

It feels more consistent to do this, rather than only prefer a PMU
name when a hard coded name isn't available.

[ Upstream commit 193a9e30207f54777ff42d0d8be8389edc522277 ]

On an Intel tigerlake laptop a metric like:

    {
        "BriefDescription": "Test",
        "MetricExpr": "imc_free_running@data_read@ + imc_free_running@data_write@",
        "MetricGroup": "Test",
        "MetricName": "Test",
        "ScaleUnit": "6.103515625e-5MiB"
    },

Will have 4 events:

  uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/
  uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/
  uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/
  uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/

If aggregration is disabled with metric-only 2 column headers are
needed:

  $ perf stat -M test --metric-only -A -a sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    MiB  Test            MiB  Test
  CPU0                 1821.0               1820.5

But when not, the counts aggregated in the metric leader and only 1
column should be shown:

  $ perf stat -M test --metric-only -a sleep 1
   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

              MiB  Test
                5909.4

         1.001258915 seconds time elapsed

Achieve this by skipping events that aren't metric leaders when
printing column headers and aggregation isn't disabled.

The bug is long standing, the fixes tag is set to a refactor as that
is as far back as is reasonable to backport.

A symbol can have no samples, then accessing the annotated_source-&gt;samples
hashmap will result in a segfault.

[ Upstream commit 09541603462c399c7408d50295db99b4b8042eaa ]

The open() function returns -1 on error.

The 'control' and 'ack' file descriptors are both initialized with
open() and further validated with 'if' statement.

'if (!control)' would evaluate to 'true' if returned value on error were
'0' but it is actually '-1'.

<title>perf symbols: Fix ownership of string in dso__load_vmlinux()</title>

[ Upstream commit 25626e19ae6df34f336f235b6b3dbd1b566d2738 ]

The linked commit updated dso__load_vmlinux() to call
dso__set_long_name() before loading the symbols. Loading the symbols may
not succeed but dso__set_long_name() takes ownership of the string. The
two callers of this function free the string themselves on failure
cases, resulting in the following error:

  $ perf record -- ls
  $ perf report

  free(): double free detected in tcache 2

Fix it by always taking ownership of the string, even on failure. This
means the string is either freed at the very first early exit condition,
or later when the dso is deleted or the long name is replaced. Now no
special return value is needed to signify that the caller needs to
free the string.

<title>perf symbols: Update kcore map before merging in remaining symbols</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit f30232b20fadea8c0f2f43f764bc06e51e8cfcdf ]

When loading kcore, the main vmlinux map is updated in the same loop
that merges the remaining maps. If a map that overlaps is merged in
before kcore, the list can become unsortable when the main map addresses
are updated. This will later trigger the check_invariants() assert:

  $ perf record
  $ perf report

  util/maps.c:96: check_invariants: Assertion `map__end(prev) &lt;=
    map__start(map) || map__start(prev) == map__start(map)' failed.
  Aborted

Fix it by moving the main map update prior to the loop so that
maps__merge_in() can split it if necessary.
