One metric such as 'Kernel_Utilization' may be from different PMUs and
consists of different events.
For core,
Kernel_Utilization = cpu_clk_unhalted.thread:k / cpu_clk_unhalted.thread
For atom,
Kernel_Utilization = cpu_clk_unhalted.core:k / cpu_clk_unhalted.core
The metric group string for core is:
'{cpu_clk_unhalted.thread/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.thread:k/k,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.thread/}:W'
It's internally expanded to:
'{cpu_clk_unhalted.thread_p/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.thread_p:k/k,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.thread/}:W#cpu_core'
The metric group string for atom is:
'{cpu_clk_unhalted.core/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.core:k/k,cpu_clk_unhalted.core/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.core/}:W'
It's internally expanded to:
'{cpu_clk_unhalted.core/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.core:k/k,cpu_clk_unhalted.core/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.core/}:W#cpu_atom'
That means the group "{cpu_clk_unhalted.thread:k,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread}:W"
is from cpu_core PMU and the group "{cpu_clk_unhalted.core:k,cpu_clk_unhalted.core}"
is from cpu_atom PMU. And then next, check if the events in the group are
valid on that PMU. If one event is not valid on that PMU, the associated
group would be removed internally.
In this example, cpu_clk_unhalted.thread is valid on cpu_core and
cpu_clk_unhalted.core is valid on cpu_atom. So the checks for these two
groups are passed.

It bothered me that during benchmarking using 'perf stat' (to collect
for example CPU cache events) I could not simultaneously retrieve the
times spend in user or kernel mode in a machine readable format.
When running 'perf stat' the output for humans contains the times
reported by rusage and wait4.
$ perf stat -e cache-misses:u -- true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
4,206 cache-misses:u
0.001113619 seconds time elapsed
0.001175000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
But 'perf stat's machine-readable format does not provide this information.
$ perf stat -x, -e cache-misses:u -- true
4282,,cache-misses:u,492859,100.00,,
I found no way to retrieve this information using the available events
while using machine-readable output.
This patch adds two new tool internal events 'user_time' and
'system_time', similarly to the already present 'duration_time' event.
Both events use the already collected rusage information obtained by
wait4 and tracked in the global ru_stats.
Examples presenting cache-misses and rusage information in both human
and machine-readable form:
$ perf stat -e duration_time,user_time,system_time,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .
Performance counter stats for 'grep -q -r duration_time .':

The 'perf bench numa' testcase fails on systems with more than 1K CPUs.
Testcase: perf bench numa mem -p 1 -t 3 -P 512 -s 100 -zZ0qcm --thp 1
Snippet of code:
<<>>
perf: bench/numa.c:302: bind_to_node: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
<<>>
bind_to_node() uses "sched_getaffinity" to save the original cpumask and
this call is returning EINVAL ((invalid argument).
This happens because the default mask size in glibc is 1024. To
overcome this 1024 CPUs mask size limitation of cpu_set_t, change the
mask size using the CPU_*_S macros ie, use CPU_ALLOC to allocate
cpumask, CPU_ALLOC_SIZE for size.
Apart from fixing this for "orig_mask", apply same logic to "mask" as
well which is used to setaffinity so that mask size is large enough to
represent number of possible CPU's in the system.
sched_getaffinity is used in one more place in perf numa bench. It is in
"bind_to_cpu" function. Apply the same logic there also. Though
currently no failure is reported from there, it is ideal to change
getaffinity to work with such system configurations having CPU's more
than default mask size supported by glibc.
Also fix "sched_setaffinity" to use mask size which is large enough to
represent number of possible CPU's in the system.
Fixed all places where "bind_cpumask" which is part of "struct
thread_data" is used such that bind_cpumask works in all configuration.

Perf numa bench test fails with error:
Testcase:

Failure snippet:

perf: bench/numa.c:333: bind_to_cpumask: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
<<>>
The Testcases uses CPU's 0 and 8. In function "parse_setup_cpu_list",
There is check to see if cpu number is greater than max cpu's possible
in the system ie via "if (bind_cpu_0 >= g->p.nr_cpus || bind_cpu_1 >=
g->p.nr_cpus) {".
But it could happen that system has say 48 CPU's, but only number of
online CPU's is 0-7. Other CPU's are offlined. Since "g->p.nr_cpus" is
48, so function will go ahead and set bit for CPU 8 also in cpumask (
td->bind_cpumask).
bind_to_cpumask function is called to set affinity using
sched_setaffinity and the cpumask. Since the CPU8 is not present, set
affinity will fail here with EINVAL.
Fix this issue by adding a check to make sure that, CPU's provided in
the input argument values are online before proceeding further and skip
the test. For this, include new helper function "is_cpu_online" in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".
Since "BIT(x)" definition will get included from header.h, remove
that from bench/numa.c

Commit Fixes: b9f6fbb3b2 ("perf arm64: Inject missing frames when

DWARF unwind that improved the frame pointer stack in most scenarios.
It's expected that the unwind will fail sometimes, but this shouldn't be
reported as an error. It only works when the return address can be
determined from the contents of the link register alone.
Fix the error shown when the unwinder requires extra registers by adding
a new flag that suppresses error messages. This flag is not set in the
normal --call-graph=dwarf unwind mode so that behavior is not changed.

By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message when the
child process detected kernel does not support it. Instead, the child
process prints an error message to stderr, unfortunately stderr is
redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0.
This patch does:
- return TEST_SKIP to the parent process instead of TEST_OK when
perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported.
- Add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current
architecture by moving exist code to a separate function.
It avoids two places in test__perf_time_to_tsc() that return
TEST_SKIP by doing this.
- Extend the test suite definition to contain above two subtests.
Current test_suite and test_case structs do not support printing skip
reason when the number of subtest less than 1. To print skip reason, it
is necessary to extend current test suite definition.

The clang compiler complains about some options even without a source
file being available, while others require one, so use the simple
tools/build/feature/test-hello.c file.
Then check for the "is not supported" string in its output, in addition
to the "unknown argument" already being looked for.
This was noticed when building with clang-13 where -ffat-lto-objects
isn't supported and since we were looking just for "unknown argument"
and not providing a source code to clang, was mistakenly assumed as
being available and not being filtered to set of command line options
provided to clang, leading to a build failure.

Yes, I think that is probably the best solution. As far as I can tell,
at least in this file and context, the warning appears harmless, as the
"create a GNU C statement expression from two different macros" is very
much intentional, based on the presence of PERL_USE_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS.
The warning is fixed in upstream Perl by just avoiding creating GNU C
statement expressions using STMT_START and STMT_END:
https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18780https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18984
If I am reading the source code correctly, an alternative to disabling
the warning would be specifying -DPERL_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS_FORBIDDEN but it
seems like that might end up impacting more than just this site,
according to the issue discussion above.

This essentially reverts commit c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build:
Speed up git-version test on re-make") and commit 4e666cdb06
("perf tools: Fix dependency for version file creation")
In commit c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build: Speed up git-version test
on re-make"), a makefile dependency on .git/HEAD was added. The
background is that running PERF-VERSION-FILE is relatively slow, and
commands like "git describe" are particularly slow.
In commit 4e666cdb06 ("perf tools: Fix dependency for version file
creation"), an additional dependency on .git/ORIG_HEAD was added, as
.git/HEAD may not change for "git reset --hard HEAD^" command. However,
depending on whether we're on a branch or not, a "git cherry-pick" may
not lead to the version being updated.
As discussed with the git community in [0], using git internal files for
dependencies is not reliable. Commit 4e666cdb06 also breaks some build
scenarios [1].
As mentioned, c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build: Speed up git-version
test on re-make") was added to speed up the build. However in commit
7572733b84 ("perf tools: Fix version kernel tag") we removed the
call to "git describe", so just revert Makefile.perf back to same as pre
c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build: Speed up git-version test on
re-make") and the build should not be so slow, as below:
Pre 7572733b84:

PERF_VERSION = 5.17.rc8.g4e666cdb06ee

Committer testing:
After a fresh rebuild using 'make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin':
$ perf -v
perf version 5.17.g162f9db407b6
$ git log --oneline -1
162f9db407b6a6e5 (HEAD -> perf/core) perf tools: Stop depending on .git files for building PERF-VERSION-FILE
$
Now using a detached tarball, i.e. outside the kernel source tree:
$ ls -la perf*tar
ls: cannot access 'perf*tar': No such file or directory
$ make perf-tar-src-pkg
TAR
PERF_VERSION = 5.17.g31d10b3ef133
