Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
 "Internal cleanup:

   - Refactor PMU data management to handle hybrid systems in a generic
     way.

     Do more work in the lexer so that legacy event types parse more
     easily. A side-effect of this is that if a PMU is specified,
     scanning sysfs is avoided improving start-up time.

   - Fix hybrid metrics, for example, the TopdownL1 works for both
     performance and efficiency cores on Intel machines. To support
     this, sort and regroup events after parsing.

   - Add reference count checking for the 'thread' data structure.

   - Lots of fixes for memory leaks in various places thanks to the ASAN
     and Ian's refcount checker.

   - Reduce the binary size by replacing static variables with local or
     dynamically allocated memory.

   - Introduce shared_mutex for annotate data to reduce memory
     footprint.

   - Make filesystem access library functions more thread safe.

  Test:

   - Organize cpu_map tests into a single suite.

   - Add metric value validation test to check if the values are within
     correct value ranges.

   - Add perf stat stdio output test to check if event and metric names
     match.

   - Add perf data converter JSON output test.

   - Fix a lot of issues reported by shellcheck(1). This is a
     preparation to enable shellcheck by default.

   - Make the large x86 new instructions test optional at build time
     using EXTRA_TESTS=1.

   - Add a test for libpfm4 events.

  perf script:

   - Add 'dsoff' outpuf field to display offset from the DSO.

      $ perf script -F comm,pid,event,ip,dsoff
         ls 2695501 cycles:      152cc73ef4b5 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so+0x1c4b5)
         ls 2695501 cycles:  ffffffff99045b3e ([kernel.kallsyms])
         ls 2695501 cycles:  ffffffff9968e107 ([kernel.kallsyms])
         ls 2695501 cycles:  ffffffffc1f54afb ([kernel.kallsyms])
         ls 2695501 cycles:  ffffffff9968382f ([kernel.kallsyms])
         ls 2695501 cycles:  ffffffff99e00094 ([kernel.kallsyms])
         ls 2695501 cycles:      152cc718a8d0 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1+0x68d0)
         ls 2695501 cycles:  ffffffff992a6db0 ([kernel.kallsyms])

   - Adjust width for large PID/TID values.

  perf report:

   - Robustify reading addr2line output for srcline by checking sentinel
     output before the actual data and by using timeout of 1 second.

   - Allow config terms (like 'name=ABC') with breakpoint events.

      $ perf record -e mem:0x55feb98dd169:x/name=breakpoint/ -p 19646 -- sleep 1

  perf annotate:

   - Handle x86 instruction suffix like 'l' in 'movl' generally.

   - Parse instruction operands properly even with a whitespace. This is
     needed for llvm-objdump output.

   - Support RISC-V binutils lookup using the triplet prefixes.

   - Add '&lt;' and '&gt;' key to navigate to prev/next symbols in TUI.

   - Fix instruction association and parsing for LoongArch.

  perf stat:

   - Add --per-cache aggregation option, optionally specify a cache
     level like `--per-cache=L2`.

      $ sudo perf stat --per-cache -a -e ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote --\
        taskset -c 0-15,64-79,128-143,192-207\
        perf bench sched messaging -p -t -l 100000 -g 8

        # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
        # 20 sender and receiver threads per group
        # 8 groups == 320 threads run

   - Allow --cputype option to have any PMU name (not just hybrid).

   - Fix output value not to added when it runs multiple times with -r
     option.

  perf list:

   - Show metricgroup description from JSON file called
     metricgroups.json.

   - Allow 'pfm' argument to list only libpfm4 events and check each
     event is supported before showing it.

  JSON vendor events:

   - Avoid event grouping using "NO_GROUP_EVENTS" constraints. The
     topdown events are correctly grouped even if no group exists.

   - Add "Default" metric group to print it in the default output. And
     use "DefaultMetricgroupName" to indicate the real metric group
     name.

   - Add AmpereOne core PMU events.

  Misc:

   - Define man page date correctly.

   - Track exception level properly on ARM CoreSight ETM.

   - Allow anonymous struct, union or enum when retrieving type names
     from DWARF.

   - Fix incorrect filename when calling `perf inject --jit`.

   - Handle PLT size correctly on LoongArch"

<title>perf tests: Make x86 new instructions test optional at build time</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d436373a75f53cafa37df0ace3b329b119739699</id>
<content type='text'>
The "x86 instruction decoder - new instructions" test takes up space but
is only really useful to developers. Make it optional at build time.

Add variable EXTRA_TESTS which must be defined in order to build perf
with the test.

Example:

  Before:

    $ make -C tools/perf clean &gt;/dev/null
    $ make -C tools/perf &gt;/dev/null
    Makefile.config:650: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] &gt;= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR
    Makefile.config:1149: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev
      PERF_VERSION = 6.4.rc3.gd15b8c76c964
    $ readelf -SW tools/perf/perf | grep '\.rela.dyn\|.rodata\|\.data.rel.ro'
      [10] .rela.dyn         RELA            000000000002fcb0 02fcb0 0748b0 18   A  6   0  8
      [18] .rodata           PROGBITS        00000000002eb000 2eb000 6bac00 00   A  0   0 32
      [25] .data.rel.ro      PROGBITS        00000000009ea180 9e9180 04b540 00  WA  0   0 32

  After:

    $ make -C tools/perf clean &gt;/dev/null
    $ make -C tools/perf &gt;/dev/null
    Makefile.config:650: No libunwind found. Please install libunwind-dev[el] &gt;= 1.1 and/or set LIBUNWIND_DIR
    Makefile.config:1154: libpfm4 not found, disables libpfm4 support. Please install libpfm4-dev
      PERF_VERSION = 6.4.rc3.g4ea9c1569ea4
    $ readelf -SW tools/perf/perf | grep '\.rela.dyn\|.rodata\|\.data.rel.ro'
      [10] .rela.dyn         RELA            000000000002f3c8 02f3c8 036d68 18   A  6   0  8
      [18] .rodata           PROGBITS        00000000002ac000 2ac000 68da80 00   A  0   0 32
      [25] .data.rel.ro      PROGBITS        000000000097d440 97c440 022280 00  WA  0   0 32

Committer notes:

Build with 'make EXTRA_TESTS=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf" and
reproduced the ELF section size differences.

IBS pmu can be invoked via fixed set of core pmu events with 'precise_ip'
set to 1. Add a simple event open test for all these events.

Without kernel fix:
  $ sudo ./perf test -vv 76
   76: AMD IBS via core pmu                                      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 6553
  Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-1-1
  type: 0x0, config: 0x0, fd: 3  -  Pass
  type: 0x0, config: 0x1, fd: -1  -  Pass
  type: 0x4, config: 0x76, fd: -1  -  Fail
  type: 0x4, config: 0xc1, fd: -1  -  Fail
  type: 0x4, config: 0x12, fd: -1  -  Pass
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  AMD IBS via core pmu: FAILED!

With kernel fix:
  $ sudo ./perf test -vv 76
   76: AMD IBS via core pmu                                      :

The kernel driver assumes hybrid CPUs will have Intel PT capabilities
that are compatible with the boot CPU. Add a test to check that is the
case.

<title>perf arch: Support register names from all archs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:83869019c74cc2d01c96a3be2463a4eebe362224</id>
<content type='text'>
When reading a perf.data file with register values, there is a mismatch
between the names and the values of the registers because the tool is
built using only the register names from the local architecture.

Reading a perf.data file that was recorded on ARM64, gives the following
erroneous output on an X86 machine:

  # perf report -i perf_arm64.data -D
  [...]
  24661932634451 0x698 [0x21d0]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x1): 43239/43239: 0xffffc5be8f100f98 period: 1 addr: 0

As can be seen, the register names correspond to X86 registers, even
though the perf.data file was recorded on an ARM64 system. After this
patch, the output of the command displays the correct register names:

  # perf report -i perf_arm64.data -D

Athira reports:

"Looks good to me. Tested this patchset in powerpc by capturing regs in
powerpc and doing perf report to read the data from x86."

By switching to an array of pointers to tests (later to be suites)
the definition of the tests can be moved to the file containing the
tests.

Committer notes:

It's "&amp;vectors_page", not "&amp;vectors_pages", noticed when cross building
to 32-bit ARM.

Also the DEFINE_SUITE(vectors_page) should be done where its function is
implemented, in tools/perf/arch/arm/tests/vectors-page.c, so that we can
make it static, as we don't have anymore its declaration in tests.h.

Function declarations don't need __maybe_unused annotations, only the
implementations do. Drop them on the perf x86 tests.
