This a no-op for most of the perf tool. The reference count is set to
1 at allocation, the put will see the 1, decrement it and perform the
delete.
The purpose for adding the reference count is for the python code. Prior
to this change the python code would clone evlists, but this has issues
if events are opened, etc.
This change adds a reference count for the evlists and a later change
will add it to evsels. The combination is needed for the python code to
operate correctly (not hit asserts in the evsel clone), but the changes
are broken apart for the sake of smaller patches.

Introduce the `aggr_nr` function to the metric expression parser.
`aggr_nr` allows metric formulas to dynamically utilize the number of
aggregated targets (`aggr->nr`) instead of relying on the static
`source_count` (which represents the static socket or node count).
This adds the `AGGR_NR` token to the lexer and parser, updates the
expression parsing context helpers to store `aggr_nr`, and feeds
`aggr->nr` from the aggregation structure in `prepare_metric`.

expr__find_ids() propagates the parser return value directly. For syntax
errors, the parser can return a positive value, but callers treat it as
success, e.g., for below case on Arm64 platform:
metric expr 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES) for backend_bound
parsing metric: 100 * (STALL_SLOT_BACKEND / (CPU_CYCLES * #slots) - BR_MIS_PRED * 3 / CPU_CYCLES)
Failure to read '#slots' literal: #slots = nan

Convert positive parser returns in expr__find_ids() to -EINVAL, as a

Metrics will fill in the context to have mappings from an event to a

generally shouldn't exist with aggregation. Switch to accumulating to

In the find_tool_events(), the tool_pmu__event_to_str() is used to
compare the tool_events. It only checks the event name, no PMU or arch.
So the tool_events[TOOL_PMU__EVENT_SLOTS] is set to true, because the
p-core Topdown metrics has "slots" event.
The tool_events is shared. So when parsing the e-core metrics, the
"slots" is automatically added.
The "slots" event as a tool event should only be available on arm64. It
has a different meaning on X86. The tool_pmu__skip_event() intends
handle the case. Apply it for tool_pmu__event_to_str() as well.
There is a lack of sanity check in the expr__get_id(). Add the check.

The tool event implementations are used in expr but not evaluated as
events for simplicity. Also core_wide isn't made a tool event as it
requires command line parameters.

pmu__find_core_pmu() more logically belongs in pmus.c because it
iterates over all PMUs, so move it to pmus.c
At the same time rename it to perf_pmus__find_core_pmu() to match the
naming convention in this file.
list_prepare_entry() can't be used in perf_pmus__scan_core() anymore now
that it's called from the same compilation unit. This is with -O2
(specifically -O1 -ftree-vrp -finline-functions
-finline-small-functions) which allow the bounds of the array
access to be determined at compile time. list_prepare_entry() subtracts
the offset of the 'list' member in struct perf_pmu from &core_pmus,
which isn't a struct perf_pmu. The compiler sees that pmu results in
&core_pmus - 8 and refuses to compile. At runtime this works because
list_for_each_entry_continue() always adds the offset back again before
dereferencing ->next, but it's technically undefined behavior. With
-fsanitize=undefined an additional warning is generated.
Using list_first_entry_or_null() to get the first entry here avoids
doing &core_pmus - 8 but has the same result and fixes both the compile
warning and the undefined behavior warning. There are other uses of
list_prepare_entry() in pmus.c, but the compiler doesn't seem to be
able to see that they can also be called with &core_pmus, so I won't
change any at this time.

To resolve a trivial merge conflict with c302378bc1 ("libbpf:
Hashmap interface update to allow both long and void* keys/values"),
where a function present upstream was removed in the perf tools
development tree.
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
An update for libbpf's hashmap interface from void* -> void* to a
polymorphic one, allowing both long and void* keys and values.
This simplifies many use cases in libbpf as hashmaps there are mostly
integer to integer.
Perf copies hashmap implementation from libbpf and has to be
updated as well.
Changes to libbpf, selftests/bpf and perf are packed as a single
commit to avoid compilation issues with any future bisect.
Polymorphic interface is acheived by hiding hashmap interface
functions behind auxiliary macros that take care of necessary
type casts, for example:
#define hashmap_cast_ptr(p) \
({ \
_Static_assert((p) == NULL || sizeof(*(p)) == sizeof(long),\
#p " pointee should be a long-sized integer or a pointer"); \
(long *)(p); \
})
bool hashmap_find(const struct hashmap *map, long key, long *value);
#define hashmap__find(map, key, value) \
hashmap_find((map), (long)(key), hashmap_cast_ptr(value))
- hashmap__find macro casts key and value parameters to long
and long* respectively
- hashmap_cast_ptr ensures that value pointer points to a memory
of appropriate size.
This hack was suggested by Andrii Nakryiko in [1].
This is a follow up for [2].

The TSC frequency information is required for the event metrics with the
literal, system_tsc_freq. For the newer Intel platform, the TSC
frequency information can be retrieved from the CPUID leaf 0x15. If the
TSC frequency information isn't present the /proc/cpuinfo approach is
used.
Refactor cpuid() for this use. Note, the previous stack pushing/popping
approach was broken on x86-64 that has stack red zones that would be
clobbered.
