Add a new shell test `stat_metrics_cgrp.sh` to verify metric reporting
with `--for-each-cgroup`, both with and without `--bpf-counters`.
The test:
- Checks if system-wide monitoring is supported (skips if not).
- Finds cgroups to test.
- Runs `perf stat` with `insn_per_cycle` metric and verifies that the
metric is reported for each cgroup.
- Dynamically pairs and verifies instructions and cycles counts to
avoid false failures on idle cgroups.
- Tests both standard mode and BPF counters mode (if supported).

Add a new test case `test_stat_delay` to `stat.sh` to verify that
`duration_time` correctly excludes the delay period when using the
delay option (-D).
The test runs `perf stat -D 1000 -e duration_time sleep 2` and
verifies that `duration_time` is ~1s (excluding the 1s delay), not
~2s.

IBS on pre-Zen6 platforms lacked a hardware privilege filter, so the
kernel enabled swfilt=1. Zen6 and newer platforms provides privilege
filtering via the RIP[63] bit, making swfilt redundant. Skip the perf
unit test that assumes IBS has no hardware-assisted privilege filter
on Zen6 and newer platforms.
swfilt is ignored by kernel on platforms that support RIP[63] bit filter
i.e. all amd-ibs-swfilt.sh tests will test hardware assisted privilege
filter.

Add a test for uncore event sorting matching multiple PMUs.
Uncore PMUs may have a common prefix, like the PMUs
uncore_imc_free_running_0 and uncore_imc_free_running_1 have a prefix of
uncore_imc_free_running.
Parsing an event group like "{data_read,data_write}" for those PMUs
should result with two groups:
"{uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/},
{uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/}"
which means the evsels need resorting as when initially parsed the
evsels are ordered with mixed PMUs:
"{uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/,
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/}".

Synthesizing branch stacks for Intel-PT highlighted an issue where
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX was assumed to always be set in the
perf_event_attr branch_sample_type. This caused an incorrect size
calculation.
Fix the writing of the nr and hw_idx values during sample event
synthesis by passing the branch_sample_type into the sample size
and synthesis functions. Also update hardware tracers (Intel PT,
ARM SPE, CS-ETM) to retrieve and pass their branch_sample_type
dynamically to prevent payload misalignment.

Since the commit 3a61fd866e ("perf expr: Return -EINVAL for syntax

failures and make the PMU metric test fail:

When filtering branch stack samples on user events they sample in user
land but may have come from the kernel. Aarch64 avoids leaking the
kernel address for kaslr reasons but other platforms, for now,
don't. Be more permissive in allowing kernel addresses in the source
of user branch stacks.
When filtering branch stack samples on kernel events they sample in
kernel land but may have come from user land. Avoid the target being a
user address but allow the source to be in user land. Aarch64 may not
leak the user land addresses (making them 0) but other platforms
do. As the kernel address sampling implies privelege, just allow this.
Increase the duration of the system call sampling test to make the
likelihood of sampling a system call higher (increased from 1000 to
8000 loops - a number found through experimentation on an Intel
Tigerlake laptop), also make the period of the event a prime number.
Put unneeded perf record output into a temporary file so that the test
output isn't cluttered. More clearly state which test is running and
the pass, fail or skipped result of the test.
These changes make the test on an Intel tigerlake laptop reliably pass
rather than reliably fail.

When adding a probe for libc's inet_pton, perf probe may create multiple
probe points (e.g., due to inlining or multiple symbol resolutions),
resulting in multiple identical event names being output (e.g.,
`probe_libc:inet_pton_1`).
The script previously used a brittle pipeline (`tail -n +2 | head -n -5`)
and an awk script to extract the event name. When multiple probes were
added, awk would output the event name multiple times, which expanded
to multiple words in bash. This broke the subsequent `perf record` and
`perf probe -d` commands, causing the test to fail with:
`Error: another command except --add is set.`
Fix this by removing the brittle `tail/head` commands and appending
`| head -n 1` to the awk extraction. This ensures that only a single,
unique event name is captured, regardless of how many probe points
are created.
Additionally, the test artificially limited the backtrace size via
`max-stack=4` and did not specify dwarf call graphs for non-s390x
architectures. In newer libc versions where `inet_pton` is nested
deeper or compiled without frame pointers, `perf script` failed to resolve
the backtrace up to `/bin/ping`. Fix this by explicitly collecting
dwarf call-graphs for all architectures and increasing `max-stack` to 8.

`make check` will run sparse on the perf code base. A frequent warning
is "warning: symbol '...' was not declared. Should it be static?" Go
through and make global definitions without declarations static.
In some cases it is deliberate due to dlsym accessing the symbol, this
change doesn't clean up the missing declarations for perf test suites.
Sometimes things can opportunistically be made const.
Making somethings static exposed unused functions warnings, so
restructuring of ifdefs was necessary for that.
These changes reduce the size of the perf binary by 568 bytes.

Refreshed the patch, the original one fell thru the cracks, updated the

variables to avoid padding bytes for this.
Similiarly powerpc_vpadtl_sample wasn't using perf_sample__init/exit,
use it for consistency and potential issues with uninitialized
variables.
Similarly guest_session__inject_events in builtin-inject wasn't using
perf_sample_init/exit. The lifetime management for fetched events is
somewhat complex there, but when an event is fetched the sample should
be initialized and needs exiting on error. The sample may be left in
place so that future injects have access to it.

Test case 'perf data type profiling tests' fails on s390 with this
error:
# ./perf mem record -- ./perf test -w code_with_type
failed: no PMU supports the memory events
# echo $?
255
#
because s390 does not support memory events at all. According to the
man page, perf annotate --code-with-type only works with memory
instructions only. As command 'perf mem record ...' is not supported
on s390, skip this test for s390.
Output before:
# ./perf test 'perf data type profiling tests'

test__ratio_to_prev() assumed the first event in a group is the leader,
which is not the case when the event is expanded into two event groups
on hybrid PMU's with auto counter reload support. Instead, iterate over the
event group generated for each core PMU. Also update "wrong leader" test to
check that the subordinate event has the correct leader instead of checking
that it is not the group leader. Finally, do not exit immediately if a PMU
without auto counter reload support is found.

The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the
array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is
prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a
alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and
then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and
libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as
compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the
build.

Frame pointer callchains are not supported on s390 and dwarf

Switch the default event from the hardware 'cycles' event to the
software 'cpu-clock' or 'task-clock' on s390 if callchains are
enabled. Move some of the target initialization earlier in builtin-top
and builtin-record, so it is ready for use by evlist__new_default.
If frame pointer callchains are requested on s390 show a

Commit bb5a920b90 ("perf stat: Ensure metrics are displayed even

weren't enabled in the kernel were handled as NaN in metrics.
This caused the "Parse and process metrics" test to start failing as it
wasn't putting a non-zero value in these variables.
Add arbitrary values of 1 to fix the test.

The subtest 'Leader sampling' some time fails on s390.
- for z/VM guest: Disable the test for z/VM guest. There is no
CPU Measurement facility to run the test successfully.
- for LPAR: Use correct event names.
A detailed analysis follows here:
Now to the debugging and investigation:
1. With command
perf record -e '{cycles,cycles}:S' -- ....
the first cycles event starts sampling.
On s390 this sets up sampling with a frequency of 4000 Hz.
This translates to hardware sample rate of 1377000 instructions per
micro-second to meet a frequency of 4000 HZ.
2. With first event cycles now sampling into a hardware buffer, an
interrupt is triggered each time a sampling buffer gets full.
The interrupt handler is then invoked and debug output shows the
processing of samples. The size of one hardware sample is 32 bytes.
With an interrupt triggered when the hardware buffer page of 4KB
gets full, the interrupt handler processes 128 samples.
(This is taken from s390 specific fast debug data gathering)

3. The value is constantly increasing by the number of instructions
executed to generate a sample entry. This is the first line of the
pairs of lines. count 0x1502e8 --> 1377000
# perf script | grep 1377000 | wc -l
214
# perf script | wc -l
428
#
That is 428 lines in total, and half of the lines contain value
1377000.
4. The second event cycles is opened against the counting PMU, which
is an independent PMU and is not interrupt driven. Once enabled it
runs in the background and keeps running, incrementing silently
about 400+ counters. The counter values are read via assembly
instructions.
This second counter PMU's read call back function is called when the
interrupt handler of the sampling facility processes each sample. The
function call sequence is:
perf_event_overflow()
+--> __perf_event_overflow()
+--> __perf_event_output()
+--> perf_output_sample()
+--> perf_output_read()
+--> perf_output_read_group()
for_each_sibling_event(sub, leader) {
values[n++] = perf_event_count(sub, self);
printk("%s sub %p values %#lx\n", __func__, sub, values[n-1]);
}
The last function perf_event_count() is invoked on the second event
cylces *on* the counting PMU. An added printk statement shows the
following lines in the dmesg output:
# dmesg|grep perf_output_read_group |head -10

Summary:
- Above command starts the CPU sampling facility, with runs interrupt
driven when a 4KB page is full. An interrupt processes the 128 samples
and calls eventually perf_output_read_group() for each sample to save it
in the event's ring buffer.
- At that time the CPU counting facility is invoked to read the value of
the event cycles. This value is saved as the second value in the
sample_read structure.
- The first and odd lines in the perf script output displays the period
value between 2 samples being created by hardware. It is the number
of instructions executes before the hardware writes a sample.
- The second and even lines in the perf script output displays the number
of CPU cycles needed to process each sample and save it in the event's
ring buffer.
These 2 different values can never be identical on s390.
Since event leader sampling is not possible on s390 the perf tool will
return EOPNOTSUPP soon. Perpare the test case for that.

Recently 'perf stat' regressed in per CPU mode [1].
Let's expand test coverage to catch the same breakage again as well as
to test the repeat, pid, detailed and no aggregation options.
