[ Upstream commit 188ac720d364035008a54d249cf47b4cc100f819 ]

When perf uses quiet mode, perf_quiet_option() sets the 'debug_peo_args'
variable to -1, and display_attr() incorrectly determines the value of
'debug_peo_args'.  As a result, unexpected information is displayed.

Before:

  # perf record --quiet -- ls &gt; /dev/null
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  perf_event_attr:
    size                             128
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
    sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
    read_format                      ID|LOST

    task                             1
    precise_ip                       3
    sample_id_all                    1
    exclude_guest                    1
    mmap2                            1
    comm_exec                        1
    ksymbol                          1
    bpf_event                        1
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  ...

After:
  # perf record --quiet -- ls &gt; /dev/null
  #

redirect_to_stderr is a similar problem.

Fixes: f78eaef0e0493f60 ("perf tools: Allow to force redirect pr_debug to stderr.")
Fixes: ccd26741f5e6bdf2 ("perf tool: Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and return value")

commit 62942e9fda9fd1def10ffcbd5e1c025b3c9eec17 upstream.

Using grep -C with perf script -D can give erroneous results as grep loses
lines due to non-printable characters, for example, below the 0020, 0060
and 0070 lines are missing:

 $ perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head
 .  0010:  08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1f 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................

perf's isprint() is a custom implementation from the kernel, but the
kernel's _ctype appears to include characters from Latin-1 Supplement which
is not compatible with, for example, UTF-8. Fix by checking also isascii().

After:

 $ tools/perf/perf script -D | grep -C10 AUX | head

This factors out a general function perf_parse_sublevel_options() to
parse sublevel options. The 'sublevel' options is something like the
'--debug' options which allow more sublevel options.

Perf record with verbose=2 already prints this information along with
whole lot of other traces which requires lot of scrolling. Introduce
an option to print only perf_event_open() arguments and return value.

Committer notes:

Just like the 'verbose' variable this new 'debug_peo_args' needs to be
added to util/python.c, since we don't link the debug.o file in the
python binding, which ended up making 'perf test python' fail with:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 19237
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: debug_peo_args
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  #

After adding that new variable to util/python.c:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 22364
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: Ok

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where
it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't
being obtained indirectly.

This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was
providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.

bpf.h and build-id.h are not needed at all in event.h, remove them.

And fixup the fallout of files that were getting needed stuff from this
now pruned include.

All we need there is a forward declaration for 'union perf_event', so
remove it from there and add missing header directives in places using
things from this indirect include.

With the movement of lots of stuff out of perf.h to other headers we
ended up not needing it in lots of places, remove it from those places.
