EOPNOTSUPP is a possible return value when branch stacks are requested
but they aren't enabled in the kernel or hardware. It's also returned if
they aren't supported on the specific event type. The currently printed
error message about sampling/overflow-interrupts is not correct in this
case.
Add a check for branch stacks before sample_period is checked because
sample_period is also set (to the default value) when using branch
stacks.
Before this change (when branch stacks aren't supported):
perf record -j any
Error:
cycles: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'
After this change:
perf record -j any
Error:
cycles: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.

The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.
As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

This expands generic branch type classification by adding two more entries
there in i.e irq and exception return. Also updates the x86 implementation
to process X86_BR_IRET and X86_BR_IRQ records as appropriate. This changes
branch types reported to user space on x86 platform but it should not be a
problem. The possible scenarios and impacts are enumerated here.

other fields such as "phys_addr".

Currently aliasing an asm function requires adding START and END
annotations for each name, as per Documentation/asm-annotations.rst:
SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS(__memset)
SYM_FUNC_START(memset)
... asm insns ...
SYM_FUNC_END(memset)
SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS(__memset)
This is more painful than necessary to maintain, especially where a
function has many aliases, some of which we may wish to define
conditionally. For example, arm64's memcpy/memmove implementation (which
uses some arch-specific SYM_*() helpers) has:
SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS(__memmove)
SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS_WEAK_PI(memmove)
SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS(__memcpy)
SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_PI(memcpy)
... asm insns ...
SYM_FUNC_END_PI(memcpy)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(memcpy)
SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS(__memcpy)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__memcpy)
SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS_PI(memmove)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(memmove)
SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS(__memmove)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__memmove)
SYM_FUNC_START(name)
It would be much nicer if we could define the aliases *after* the
standard function definition. This would avoid the need to specify each
symbol name twice, and would make it easier to spot the canonical
function definition.
This patch adds new macros to allow us to do so, which allows the above
example to be rewritten more succinctly as:
SYM_FUNC_START(__pi_memcpy)
... asm insns ...
SYM_FUNC_END(__pi_memcpy)
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(__memcpy, __pi_memcpy)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__memcpy)
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK(memcpy, __memcpy)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(memcpy)
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(__pi_memmove, __pi_memcpy)
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(__memmove, __pi_memmove)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__memmove)
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK(memmove, __memmove)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(memmove)
The reduction in duplication will also make it possible to replace some
uses of WEAK with more accurate Kconfig guards, e.g.
#ifndef CONFIG_KASAN
SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(memmove, __memmove)
EXPORT_SYMBOL(memmove)
#endif
... which should make it easier to ensure that symbols are neither used
nor overidden unexpectedly.
The existing SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS() and SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS() are
marked as deprecated, and will be removed once existing users are moved
over to the new scheme.
The tools/perf/ copy of linkage.h is updated to match. A subsequent
patch will depend upon this when updating the x86 asm annotations.

The 'perf record' and 'perf stat' commands have supported the option
'-C/--cpus' to count or collect only on the list of CPUs provided.
Commit 1d3351e631 ("perf tools: Enable on a list of CPUs for
hybrid") add it to be supported for hybrid. For hybrid support, it
checks the cpu list are available on hybrid PMU. But when we test only
uncore events(or events not in cpu_core and cpu_atom), there is a bug:
Before:
# perf stat -C0 -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1
failed to use cpu list 0
In this case, for uncore event, its pmu_name is not cpu_core or
cpu_atom, so in evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus, perf_pmu__find_hybrid_pmu
should return NULL,both events_nr and unmatched_count should be 0 ,then
the cpu list check function evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus return -1 and the
error "failed to use cpu list 0" will happen. Bypass "events_nr=0" case
then the issue is fixed.
After:
# perf stat -C0 -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
195,476,873 uncore_clock/clockticks/
1.004518677 seconds time elapsed
When testing with at least one core event and uncore events, it has no
issue.
# perf stat -C0 -e cpu_core/cpu-cycles/,uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':
5,993,774 cpu_core/cpu-cycles/
301,025,912 uncore_clock/clockticks/

The function trace__symbols_init() runs "perf-read-vdso32" and that ends up
with a SIGCHLD delivered to 'perf'. And this SIGCHLD make perf exit early.
'perf trace' should exit only if the SIGCHLD is from our workload process.
So let's use sigaction() instead of signal() to match such condition.
Committer notes:
Use memset to zero the 'struct sigaction' variable as the '= { 0 }'
method isn't accepted in many compiler versions, e.g.:

- when interrupt disabling toggles (t)
This gives 4 combinations:
no flag, interrupts enabled
t interrupts were enabled but become disabled
D interrupts are disabled
Dt interrupts were disabled but become enabled
Committer notes:
Those are control flow flags, as per 'tools/perf/Documentation/perf-intel-pt.txt:
<quote>
An interesting field that is not printed by default is 'flags' which can be
displayed as follows:

The flags are "bcrosyiABExgh" which stand for branch, call, return, conditional,

in transaction, VM-entry, and VM-exit respectively.
