build_caches() builds the complete cache topology of the system by
iterating over all CPU, building and comparing cache levels of each CPU,
keeping only the unique ones at the end.

Extract the unit that build the cache levels for a single CPU into a
separate function. Expose this function, and the MAX_CACHE_LVL value to
be used elsewhere in perf too.

<title>perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system</title>

<id>urn:sha1:378ef0f5d9d7f4652d7a40e0711e8b845ada1cbd</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.

If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.

This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".

CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.

Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed.  The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Committer notes:

Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:

  #include &lt;traceevent/event-parse.h&gt;

to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

  #

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:

- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/

- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
  built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
  in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
  dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:

- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
  traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
  when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
  now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
  the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.

- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
  CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
  setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
  detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
  to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
  CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
  way.

From Athira:

&lt;quote&gt;
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
&lt;/quote&gt;

Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.

- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
  HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

Also from Athira:

&lt;quote&gt;
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
&lt;/quote&gt;

Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

<title>perf inject: Adjust output data offset for backward compatibility</title>

<id>urn:sha1:37ed2cddcbf1b52b03b9b2344c752ed867fa3539</id>
<content type='text'>
When 'perf inject' creates a new file, it reuses the data offset from
the input file. If there has been a change on the size of the header, as
happened in v5.12 -&gt; v5.13, the new offsets will be wrong, resulting in
a corrupted output file.

This change adds the function perf_session__data_offset to compute the
data offset based on the current header size, and uses that instead of
the offset from the original input file.

<title>perf header: Record non-CPU PMU capabilities</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2139f7424819818afc25fbfd0effda4babe235f6</id>
<content type='text'>
PMUs advertise their capabilities via sysfs attribute files but
the perf tool currently parses only core(CPU) or hybrid core PMU
capabilities. Add support of recording non-core PMU capabilities
int perf.data header.

Note that a newly proposed HEADER_PMU_CAPS is replacing existing
HEADER_HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS. Special care is taken for hybrid core
PMUs by writing their capabilities first in the perf.data header
to make sure new perf.data file being read by old perf tool does
not break.

<content type='text'>
perf inject overwrites feature sections with information from the current
machine. It makes more sense to keep original information that describes
the machine or software when perf record was run.

Example: perf.data from "Desktop" injected on "nuc11"

 Before:

  $ perf script --header-only -i perf.data-from-desktop | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Thu May 19 09:55:50 2022
  # header version : 1

  # data size      : 837480
  # feat offset    : 838688
  # hostname : Desktop
  # os release : 5.13.0-41-generic
  # perf version : 5.18.rc5.gac837f7ca7ed

  # cpuid : GenuineIntel,6,85,4
  # total memory : 65548656 kB

  $ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

  $ perf script --header-only -i injected-perf.data | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Fri May 20 15:06:55 2022
  # header version : 1
  # data offset    : 1208
  # data size      : 837480
  # feat offset    : 838688

 After:

  $ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

  $ perf script --header-only -i injected-perf.data | head -15
  # ========
  # captured on    : Fri May 20 15:08:54 2022

Many feature sections should not be re-written during perf inject. In
preparation to support that, add callbacks that a tool can use to copy
a feature section from elsewhere. perf inject will use this facility to
copy features sections from the input file.

Perf numa bench test fails with error:

Testcase:

  ./perf bench numa mem -p 2 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0,8 -M 1,0 -s 20 -zZq --thp  1 --no-data_rand_walk

Failure snippet:

&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;
  Running 'numa/mem' benchmark:

  # Running main, "perf bench numa numa-mem -p 2 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0,8 -M 1,0 -s 20 -zZq --thp 1 --no-data_rand_walk"

  perf: bench/numa.c:333: bind_to_cpumask: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;

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 &gt;= g-&gt;p.nr_cpus || bind_cpu_1 &gt;=
g-&gt;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-&gt;p.nr_cpus" is
48, so function will go ahead and set bit for CPU 8 also in cpumask (
td-&gt;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

Currently it unconditionally writes to stdout for repipe.  But perf
inject can direct its output to a regular file.  Then it needs to
write the header to the file as well.
