[ Upstream commit f215054d749b17c56e014fdca2fcc592dac4529c ]

The -w/--workload option is to run a simple workload used by testing.
This adds a basic framework to run the workloads and 'noploop' workload
as an example.

  $ perf test -w noploop

The noploop does a loop doing nothing (NOP) for a second by default.
It can have an optional argument to specify the time in seconds.

<title>perf test: Refactor shell tests allowing subdirs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7391db6459388d47d657aad633cb55fc04a8d4fb</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a prelude to adding more tests to shell tests and in order to
support putting those tests into subdirectories, I need to change the
test code that scans/finds and runs them.

To support subdirs I have to recurse so it's time to refactor the code
to allow this and centralize the shell script finding into one location
and only one single scan that builds a list of all the found tests in
memory instead of it being duplicated in 3 places.

This code also optimizes things like knowing the max width of desciption
strings (as we can do that while we scan instead of a whole new pass of
opening files).

It also more cleanly filters scripts to see only *.sh files thus
skipping random other files in directories like *~ backup files, other
random junk/data files that may appear and the scripts must be
executable to make the cut (this ensures the script lib dir is not seen
as scripts to run).

This avoids perf test running previous older versions of test scripts
that are editor backup files as well as skipping perf.data files that
may appear and so on.

Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling as a perf tool built-in test.
This allows sanity checking the basic sigtrap functionality from within
the perf tool.

Committer notes:

Reported that !root was getting -EPERM, applied a fixup from Marco to
set .exclude_{hv,kernel} that made it work.

<content type='text'>
Add a perf test to test the dlfilter C API.

A perf.data file is synthesized and then processed by perf script with a
dlfilter named dlfilter-test-api-v0.so. Also a C file is compiled to
provide a dso to match the synthesized perf.data file.

Committer testing:

Detect symbols generated by the OCaml compiler based on their prefix.

Demangle OCaml symbols, returning a newly allocated string (like the
existing Java demangling functionality).

Move a helper function (hex) from tests/code-reading.c to util/string.c

To test:

  echo 'Printf.printf "%d\n" (Random.int 42)' &gt; test.ml
  perf record ocamlopt.opt test.ml
  perf report -d ocamlopt.opt

x86 arch provides the testing for conversion between tsc and perf time,
the testing is located in x86 arch folder.  Move this testing out from
x86 arch folder and place it into the common testing folder, so allows
to execute tsc testing on other architectures (e.g. Arm64).

This patch removes the inclusion of "arch-tests.h" from the testing
code, this can avoid building failure if any arch has no this header
file.

  $ perf test -v tsc

and tries to read its build_id and .gnu_debuglink sections, as well as
looking up the main symbol from the debug file. This should succeed if
libbfd is supported.

<title>perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4</title>

<id>urn:sha1:70943490784222b3fd26f5604cba71abb4d7ee6d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.

With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:

  $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....

One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.
