Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.
Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.
Committer notes:
I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:
# perf test -v parsing
26: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17018
sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
#
With the two paches combined:
# perf test parsing
26: Sample parsing : Ok

To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different
information are needed:
1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
3) bpf_prog_info
4) btf
This patch handles 3) and 4) for BPF programs loaded after 'perf
record|top'.
For timely process of these information, a dedicated event is added to
the side band evlist.
When PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is received via the side band event, the
polling thread gathers 3) and 4) vis sys_bpf and store them in perf_env.
This information is saved to perf.data at the end of 'perf record'.
Committer testing:
The 'wakeup_watermark' member in 'struct perf_event_attr' is inside a
unnamed union, so can't be used in a struct designated initialization
with older gccs, get it out of that, isolating as 'attr.wakeup_watermark
= 1;' to work with all gcc versions.
We also need to add '--no-bpf-event' to the 'perf record'
perf_event_attr tests in 'perf test', as the way that that test goes is
to intercept the events being setup and looking if they match the fields
described in the control files, since now it finds first the side band
event used to catch the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, they all fail.
With these issues fixed:
Same scenario as for testing BPF programs loaded before 'perf record' or
'perf top' starts, only start the BPF programs after 'perf record|top',
so that its information get collected by the sideband threads, the rest
works as for the programs loaded before start monitoring.
Add missing 'inline' to the bpf_event__add_sb_event() when
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined, fixing the build in systems without
binutils devel files installed.

Adam reported a record command crash for simple session like:
$ perf record -e cpu-clock ls
with following backtrace:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
3543 ev = event_update_event__new(size + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__UNIT, evsel->id[0]);

We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array,
which is not defined at that time. Fix this by forcing the id allocation
for events with their unit defined.
Reflecting possible read_format ID bit in the attr tests.

Andi reported following malfunction:
# perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}:S' -a sleep 1
# perf script
non matching sample_id_all
That's because we disable sample_id_all bit for non-sampling group
members. We can't do that, because it needs to be the same over the
whole event list. This patch keeps it untouched again.

.. and other related fields that do not need to be enabled
for events that have sampling leader.
It fixes the perf top usage Ingo reported broken:
# perf top -e '{cycles,msr/aperf/}:S'
The 'msr/aperf/' event is configured for write_back sampling, which is
not allowed by the MSR PMU, so it fails to create the event.

The "struct perf_event_attr setup" entry in 'perf test' is in fact a
series of tests that will exec the tools, passing different sets of
command line arguments to then intercept the sys_perf_event_open
syscall, in user space, to check that the perf_event_attr->sample_type
and other feature request bits are setup as expected.
We recently restored the callchain requesting command line argument, -g,
to not require a parameter ("dwarf" or "fp"), instead using a default
("fp" for now) and making the long option variant, --call-chain, be the
one to be used when a different callchain collection method is
preferred.
The "struct perf_event_attr setup" test failed because we forgot to
update the tests involving callchains, not switching from, '-g dwarf' to
'--call-chain dwarf', making 'perf test' detect it:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test -v 13
13: struct perf_event_attr setup :
--- start ---
running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-basic'
running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-branch-any'
<SNIP>
running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-graph-default'
running '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-graph-dwarf'
expected sample_type=12583, got 295
expected exclude_callchain_user=1, got 0
expected sample_stack_user=8192, got 0
FAILED '/home/acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/attr/test-record-graph-dwarf' - match failure
---- end ----
struct perf_event_attr setup: FAILED!
[root@sandy ~]#
Fix all of them now to use --call-chain when explicitely specifying a
method.
There is still work to do, as '-g fp', for instance, passed without
problems.
In that case 'perf test' saw no problems as the intercepted syscall got
the bits as expected, i.e. the default is 'fp', but the fact that 'fp'
may be an existing program and the specified workload would then be
passed as a parameter to it is an usability problem that needs fixing.
Next merge window tho.

Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled.
There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all
events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole
enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced
program got executed.
What we actually want is:
1) For any type of traced program:
- all independent events and group leaders are disabled
- all group members are enabled
Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to
be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that.
2) For traced programs executed by perf:
- all independent events and group leaders have
enable_on_exec set
- we don't specifically enable or disable any event during
the record command
Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled
and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group
leaders as stated in 1).
3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid):
- we specifically enable or disable all events during
the record command
When attaching events to already running traced we
enable/disable events specifically, as there's no
initial traced exec call.
Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

Fixing events attributes for groups defined via '{}'.
Currently 'enable_on_exec' attribute in record command and both
'disabled ' and 'enable_on_exec' attributes in stat command are set
based on the 'group' option. This eliminates proper setup for '{}'
defined groups as they don't set 'group' option.
Making above attributes values based on the 'evsel->leader' as this is
common to both group definition.
Moving perf_evlist__set_leader call within builtin-record ahead
perf_evlist__config_attrs call, because the latter needs possible group
leader links in place.
