Arm PMUs have a suffix, either a single decimal (armv8_pmuv3_0) or 3 hex
digits which (armv8_cortex_a53) which Perf assumes are both strippable
suffixes for the purposes of deduplication. S390 "cpum_cf" is a
similarly suffixed core PMU but is only two characters so is not treated
as strippable because the rules are a minimum of 3 hex characters or 1
decimal character.
There are two paths involved in listing PMU events:
* HW/cache event printing assumes core PMUs don't have suffixes so
doesn't try to strip.
* Sysfs PMU events share the printing function with uncore PMUs which
strips.
This results in slightly inconsistent Perf list behavior if a core PMU
has a suffix:
# perf list
...
armv8_pmuv3_0/branch-load-misses/
armv8_pmuv3/l3d_cache_wb/ [Kernel PMU event]
...
Fix it by partially reverting back to the old list behavior where
stripping was only done for uncore PMUs. For example commit 8d9f5146f5
("perf pmus: Sort pmus by name then suffix") mentions that only PMUs
starting 'uncore_' are considered to have a potential suffix. This
change doesn't go back that far, but does only strip PMUs that are
!is_core. This keeps the desirable behavior where the many possibly
duplicated uncore PMUs aren't repeated, but it doesn't break listing for
core PMUs.
Searching for a PMU continues to use the new stripped comparison
functions, meaning that it's still possible to request an event by
specifying the common part of a PMU name, or even open events on
multiple similarly named PMUs. For example:
# perf stat -e armv8_cortex/inst_retired/
5777173628 armv8_cortex_a53/inst_retired/ (99.93%)
7469626951 armv8_cortex_a57/inst_retired/ (49.88%)

Commit b2b9d3a3f0 ("perf pmu: Support wildcards on pmu name in dynamic
pmu events") gives the following example for wildcarding a subset of
PMUs:
E.g., in a system with the following dynamic pmus:
mypmu_0
mypmu_1
mypmu_2
mypmu_4
perf stat -e mypmu_[01]/<config>/
Since commit f91fa2ae63 ("perf pmu: Refactor perf_pmu__match()"), only
"*" has been supported, removing the ability to subset PMUs, even though
parse-events.l still supports ? and [] characters.
Fix it by using fnmatch() when any glob character is detected and add a
test which covers that and other scenarios of
perf_pmu__match_ignoring_suffix().

The mrvl_ddr_pmu is uncore and has a hexadecimal address suffix while
the previous PMU sorting/merging code assumes uncore PMU names start
with uncore_ and have a decimal suffix. Because of the previous
assumption it isn't possible to wildcard the mrvl_ddr_pmu.
Modify pmu_name_len_no_suffix but also remove the suffix number out
argument, this is because we don't know if a suffix number of say 100
is in hexadecimal or decimal. As the only use of the suffix number is
in comparisons, it is safe there to compare the values as hexadecimal.
Modify perf_pmu__match_ignoring_suffix so that hexadecimal suffixes
are ignored.
Only allow hexadecimal suffixes to be greater than length 2 (ie 3 or
more) so that S390's cpum_cf PMU doesn't lose its suffix.
Change the return type of pmu_name_len_no_suffix to size_t to
workaround GCC incorrectly determining the result could be negative.

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

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->sysfs_aliases_loaded" tests as they are now
part of the function.

must still be eagerly loaded as by default the PMU code assumes devices
are going to be in sysfs.
In util/pmu.[ch], hide perf_pmu__format_parse but add the eager argument
to perf_pmu__lookup called by perf_pmus__add_test_pmu. Later patches
will eagerly load other non-sysfs files when eager loading is enabled.
In tests/pmu.c, rather than manually constructing a list of term
arguments, just use the term parsing code from a string.

"default_core" is used by jevents.py for json events' PMU name when
none is specified. On x86 the "default_core" is typically the PMU
"cpu". When creating an alias see if the event's PMU name is

A PMU event/alias will have a set of format terms that replace it when
an event is parsed. The location of the terms is their position when
parsed for the event/alias either from sysfs or json. This location is
of little use when an event fails to parse as the error will be given
in terms of the location in the string of events parsed not the json
or sysfs string. Fix this by making the cloned terms location that of
the event/alias.
If a cloned term from an event/alias is invalid the bad format is hard
to determine from the error string. Add the name of the bad format
into the error string.

The msr PMU is a software one, meaning msr events may be grouped
with events in a hardware context. As the msr PMU isn't marked as a
software PMU by perf_pmu__is_software, groups with the msr PMU in
are broken and the msr events placed in a different group. This
may lead to multiplexing errors where a hardware event isn't
counted while the msr event, such as tsc, is. Fix all of this by
marking the msr PMU as software, which agrees with the driver.

So the second event has become a raw event as
/sys/devices/cpu/events/cpu-cycles exists.
A fix was necessary to config_term_pmu in parse-events.c as check_alias
expansion needs to happen after config_term_pmu, and config_term_pmu may
need calling a second time because of this.
config_term_pmu is updated to not use the legacy event when the PMU has
such a named event (either from JSON or sysfs).
The bulk of this change is updating all of the parse-events test
expectations so that if a sysfs/JSON event exists for a PMU the test
doesn't fail - a further sign, if it were needed, that the legacy event
priority was a known and tested behavior of the perf tool.

The default config is computed during creation of the PMU and may do
things like scanning sysfs, when the PMU may just be used as part of
scanning. Change default_config to perf_event_attr_init_default, a
callback that is used when a default config needs initializing. This
avoids holding onto the memory for a perf_event_attr and copying.

Build:
- Update header files in the tools/**/include directory to sync with
the kernel sources as usual.
- Remove unused bpf-prologue files. While it's not strictly a fix,
but the functionality was removed in this cycle so better to get
rid of the code together.
- Other minor build fixes.
Misc:
- Fix uninitialized memory access in PMU parsing code
- Fix segfaults on software event

PMU alias names were computed when the first perf_pmu is created,
scanning all PMUs in event sources for a file called alias that
generally doesn't exist. Switch to trying to load the file when all
PMU related files are loaded in lookup. This would cause a PMU name
lookup of an alias name to fail if no PMUs were loaded, so in that
case all PMUs are loaded and the find repeated. The overhead is
similar but in the (very) general case not all PMUs are scanned for
the alias file.
As the overhead occurs once per invocation it doesn't show in perf
bench internals pmu-scan. On a tigerlake machine, the number of openat
system calls for an event of cpu/cycles/ with perf stat reduces from
94 to 69 (ie 25 fewer openat calls).

The jevent "Compat" is used for uncore PMU alias or metric definitions.
The same PMU driver has different PMU identifiers due to different
hardware versions and types, but they may have some common PMU event.
Since a Compat value can only match one identifier, when adding the
same event alias to PMUs with different identifiers, each identifier
needs to be defined once, which is not streamlined enough.
So let "Compat" support using regular expression to match identifiers
for uncore PMU alias. For example, if the "Compat" value is set to
"43401|43c01", it would be able to match PMU identifiers such as "43401"
or "43c01", which correspond to CMN600_r0p0 or CMN700_r0p0.

The perf_pmu__parse_* functions for the sysfs files of pmu event’s
scale, unit, per-pkg and snapshot were updated in commit 7b723dbb96
("perf pmu: Be lazy about loading event info files from sysfs").
However, the paths for these sysfs files were incorrect. This resulted
in perf stat reporting values with wrong scaling and missing units. This
is fixed by correcting the paths for these sysfs files.

pmu__find_core_pmu() more logically belongs in pmus.c because it
iterates over all PMUs, so move it to pmus.c
At the same time rename it to perf_pmus__find_core_pmu() to match the
naming convention in this file.
list_prepare_entry() can't be used in perf_pmus__scan_core() anymore now
that it's called from the same compilation unit. This is with -O2
(specifically -O1 -ftree-vrp -finline-functions
-finline-small-functions) which allow the bounds of the array
access to be determined at compile time. list_prepare_entry() subtracts
the offset of the 'list' member in struct perf_pmu from &core_pmus,
which isn't a struct perf_pmu. The compiler sees that pmu results in
&core_pmus - 8 and refuses to compile. At runtime this works because
list_for_each_entry_continue() always adds the offset back again before
dereferencing ->next, but it's technically undefined behavior. With
-fsanitize=undefined an additional warning is generated.
Using list_first_entry_or_null() to get the first entry here avoids
doing &core_pmus - 8 but has the same result and fixes both the compile
warning and the undefined behavior warning. There are other uses of
list_prepare_entry() in pmus.c, but the compiler doesn't seem to be
able to see that they can also be called with &core_pmus, so I won't
change any at this time.

parse_events_terms() existed in function names but was passed a
'struct list_head'.
As many parse_events functions take an evsel_config list as well as a
parse_event_term list, and the naming head_terms and head_config is
inconsistent, there's a potential to switch the lists and get errors.
Introduce a 'struct parse_events_terms', that just wraps a list_head, to
avoid this. Add the regular init/exit functions and transition the code
to use them.

The no_value field in 'struct parse_events_term' indicates that the val
variable isn't used, the case for an event name.
Cloning wasn't propagating this, making cloned event name terms
appearing to have a constant assinged to them.
Working around the bug would check for a value of 1 assigned to value,
but then this meant a user value of 1 couldn't be differentiated causing
the value to be lost in debug printing and perf list.
The change fixes the cloning and updates the "val.num ==/!= 1" tests to
use no_value instead.
To better check the no_value is set appropriately parameter comments are
added for constant values.
This found that no_value wasn't set correctly in parse_events_multi_pmu_add,
which matters now that no_value is used to indicate an event name.

doesn't enforce that the numbers are consecutive as for some PMUs
there are gaps. If "-v" is passed to "perf list" then list all PMUs.
With the previous change duplicate PMUs are no longer printed but the
suffix of the first is printed. When duplicate PMUs are being skipped
avoid printing the suffix.

The PMU name could be NULL in the case of the fake_pmu. Initialize the
name for the fake_pmu to "fake" so that all other logic can assume it
is initialized. Add a const to the type of name so that a literal can
be used to avoid additional initialization code. Propagate the cost
through related routines and remove now unnecessary "(char *)"
casts. Doing this located a bug in builtin-list for the pmu_glob that
was missing a strdup.

Rather than load all sysfs events then parsing all JSON events and
merging with ones that already exist. When a sysfs event is loaded, look
for a corresponding JSON event and merge immediately.
To simplify the logic, early exit the perf_pmu__new_alias function if an
alias is attempted to be added twice - as merging has already been
explicitly handled.
Fix the copying of terms to a merged alias and some ENOMEM paths.

Rather than read a sysfs events file into a 256 byte char buffer, pass
the FILE* directly to the lex/yacc parser.
This avoids there being a maximum events file size.
While changing the API, constify some arguments to remove unnecessary
casts.
Allocating the read buffer decreases the performance of pmu-scan by
around 3%.
