When injecting events from a guest perf.data file, the events will have
separate sample ID numbers. These ID numbers can then be used to determine
which machine an event belongs to. To facilitate that, add machine_pid and
vcpu to id_index records. For backward compatibility, these are added at
the end of the record, and the length of the record is used to determine
if they are present or not.
Note, this is needed because the events from a guest perf.data file contain
the pid/tid of the process running at that time inside the VM not the
pid/tid of the (QEMU) hypervisor thread. So a way is needed to relate
guest events back to the guest machine and VCPU, and using sample ID
numbers for that is relatively simple and convenient.

This new option displays all of the information needed to do external
BuildID-based symbolization of kernel stack traces, such as those collected
by bpf_get_stackid().
For each kernel module plus the main kernel, it displays the BuildID,
the start and end virtual addresses of that module's text range (rounded
out to page boundaries), and the pathname of the module.
When run as a non-privileged user, the actual addresses of the modules'
text ranges are not available, so the tools displays "0, <text length>" for
kernel modules and "0, 0xffffffffffffffff" for the kernel itself.
Sample output:
root# perf buildid-list -m

On powerpc, 'perf trace' is crashing with a SIGSEGV when trying to
process a perf.data file created with 'perf trace record -p':
#0 0x00000001225b8988 in syscall_arg__scnprintf_augmented_string <snip> at builtin-trace.c:1492
#1 syscall_arg__scnprintf_filename <snip> at builtin-trace.c:1492

#3 0x00000001225bdd9c in syscall_arg_fmt__scnprintf_val <snip> at builtin-trace.c:1973
#4 syscall__scnprintf_args <snip> at builtin-trace.c:2041
#5 0x00000001225bff04 in trace__sys_enter <snip> at builtin-trace.c:2319
That points to the below code in tools/perf/builtin-trace.c:
/*
* If this is raw_syscalls.sys_enter, then it always comes with the 6 possible
* arguments, even if the syscall being handled, say "openat", uses only 4 arguments
* this breaks syscall__augmented_args() check for augmented args, as we calculate
* syscall->args_size using each syscalls:sys_enter_NAME tracefs format file,
* so when handling, say the openat syscall, we end up getting 6 args for the
* raw_syscalls:sys_enter event, when we expected just 4, we end up mistakenly
* thinking that the extra 2 u64 args are the augmented filename, so just check
* here and avoid using augmented syscalls when the evsel is the raw_syscalls one.
*/
if (evsel != trace->syscalls.events.sys_enter)
augmented_args = syscall__augmented_args(sc, sample, &augmented_args_size, trace->raw_augmented_syscalls_args_size);
As the comment points out, we should not be trying to augment the args
for raw_syscalls. However, when processing a perf.data file, we are not
initializing those properly. Fix the same.

jevents.c is large, has a dependency on an old forked version of jsmn,
and is challenging to work upon. A lot of jevents.c's complexity comes
from needing to write json and csv parsing from first principles. In
contrast python has this functionality in standard libraries and is
already a build pre-requisite for tools like asciidoc (that builds all
of the perf man pages).
Introduce jevents.py that produces identical output to jevents.c. Add a
test that runs both converter tools and validates there are no output
differences. The test can be invoked with a phony build target like:
$ make -C tools/perf jevents-py-test
The python code deliberately tries to replicate the behavior of
jevents.c so that the output matches and transitioning tools shouldn't
introduce regressions. In some cases the code isn't as elegant as hoped,
but fixing this can be done as follow up.

previous patch using it:
ca8000684e ("perf evsel: Enable ignore_missing_thread for pid option")

While monitoring a multithread process with pid option, perf sometimes
may return sys_perf_event_open failure with 3(No such process) if any of
the process's threads die before we open the event. However, we want
perf continue monitoring the remaining threads and do not exit with

Build ID events associate a file name with a build ID. However, when
using perf inject, there is no guarantee that the file on the current
machine at the current time has that build ID. Fix by comparing the
build IDs and skip adding to the cache if they are different.

$ gcc -o prog prog.c
$ perf record --buildid-all ./prog
