Previously we only used the syscall_fmt when we had sc->tp_format set,
i.e. when we found the (enter, exit) pair in tracefs/events/syscalls/.
But we really only need to use what is in sc->arg_fmt to apply the arg
beautifiers to the syscall argument values, so do it.
With this we will be able to provide formatters to the "clone" syscall,
which doesn't have entries in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

An earlier kernel patch allowed enabling PT and LBR at the same time on
Goldmont.
commit ccbebba4c6 ("perf/x86/intel/pt: Bypass PT vs. LBR exclusivity
if the core supports it")
However, users still cannot use Intel PT and LBRs simultaneously. $
sudo perf record -e cycles,intel_pt//u -b -- sleep 1 Error: PMU
Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
PT implicitly adds dummy event in perf tool. dummy event is software
event which doesn't support LBR.
Always setting no branch for dummy event in Intel PT.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. We still need to work
more to deal with namespaces that vanish before we can get the
needed data to do analysis, but this should be as good as what is
in bcc now (Krister Johansen)
- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:
$ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header
Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate
TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have
it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)
Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:
│ ┌──cmpl $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
81.93 │ ├──je 20
│ │ lock cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
│ │↓ jne 29
│ │↓ jmp 43
11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)
That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be
considered together.
- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about
in callchain entries (Jin Yao)
Example from one of Jin's patches:
# perf record -g -j any,save_type
# perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense
that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of
some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd
dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted.

The root cause of the bug is that the following commit:
487f05e18a ("perf/core: Optimize event rescheduling on active contexts")
erronously assumed that event's 'pinned' setting determines whether the
event belongs to a pinned group or not, but in fact, it's the group
leader's pinned state that matters.
This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction
counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not;
in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events'
periods), but should be the same within the error margin.
Fix the problem by looking at the group leader's pinning.

For example:

COND: 37.9%
UNCOND: 0.2%
IND: 6.7%
CALL: 26.5%
RET: 28.7%
SYSRET: 0.0%
The branch types are:
COND_FWD: conditional forward
COND_BWD: conditional backward
COND: conditional branch
UNCOND: unconditional branch
IND: indirect
CALL: function call
IND_CALL: indirect function call
RET: function return
SYSCALL: syscall
SYSRET: syscall return
COND_CALL: conditional function call
COND_RET: conditional function return
CROSS_4K and CROSS_2M:
They are the metrics checking for branches cross 4K or 2MB pages.
It's an approximate computing. We don't know if the area is 4K or
2MB, so always compute both.
To make the output simple, if a branch crosses 2M area, CROSS_4K
will not be incremented.
Change log
v7: Since the common branch type definitions are changed, some
tags/strings are updated accordingly.
v6: Remove branch_type_stat_display() since it's moved to branch.c.
v5: Remove the unnecessary sort__mode checking in
hist_iter__branch_callback().

Create new util/branch.c and util/branch.h to contain the common branch
functions. Such as:
branch_type_count(): Count the numbers of branch types
branch_type_name() : Return the name of branch type
branch_type_stat_display(): Display branch type statistics info
branch_type_str(): Construct the branch type string.
The branch type is saved in branch_flags.
Change log:
v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
v7: Since the common branch type name is changed (e.g. JCC->COND),
this patch is performed the modification accordingly.
v6: Move that multiline conditional code inside {} brackets.
Move branch_type_stat_display() from builtin-report.c to
branch.c.
Move branch_type_str() from callchain.c to branch.c.

Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction
and using the branch type for filtering. The patch just records
the branch type in perf_branch_entry.
Before recording, the patch converts the x86 branch type to
common branch type.
Change log:
v10: Set the branch_map array to be static. The previous version
has it on stack then makes the compiler to create it every
time when the function gets called.
v9: Use __ffs() to find first bit in type in common_branch_type().
It lets the code be clear.
v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
v7: Just convert following x86 branch types to common branch types.
X86_BR_CALL -> PERF_BR_CALL
X86_BR_RET -> PERF_BR_RET
X86_BR_JCC -> PERF_BR_COND
X86_BR_JMP -> PERF_BR_UNCOND
X86_BR_IND_CALL -> PERF_BR_IND_CALL
X86_BR_ZERO_CALL -> PERF_BR_CALL
X86_BR_IND_JMP -> PERF_BR_IND
X86_BR_SYSCALL -> PERF_BR_SYSCALL
X86_BR_SYSRET -> PERF_BR_SYSRET
Others are set to PERF_BR_NONE
v6: Not changed.
v5: Just fix the merge error. No other update.
v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:
1. Uses a lookup table to convert x86 branch type to common branch
type.
2. Move the JCC forward/JCC backward and cross page computing to
user space.
3. Initialize branch type to 0 in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32 and
intel_pmu_lbr_read_64

It is often useful to know the branch types while analyzing branch data.
For example, a call is very different from a conditional branch.
Currently we have to look it up in binary while the binary may later not
be available and even the binary is available but user has to take some
time. It is very useful for user to check it directly in perf report.
Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction to get
the x86 branch type.
To keep consistent on kernel and userspace and make the classification
more common, the patch adds the common branch type classification
in perf_event.h.
The patch only defines a minimum but most common set of branch types.
PERF_BR_UNKNOWN : unknown
PERF_BR_COND ：conditional
PERF_BR_UNCOND : unconditional
PERF_BR_IND : indirect
PERF_BR_CALL : function call
PERF_BR_IND_CALL : indirect function call
PERF_BR_RET : function return
PERF_BR_SYSCALL : syscall
PERF_BR_SYSRET : syscall return
PERF_BR_COND_CALL : conditional function call
PERF_BR_COND_RET : conditional function return
The patch also adds a new field type (4 bits) in perf_branch_entry
to record the branch type.
Since the disassembling of branch instruction needs some overhead,
a new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE is introduced to indicate if it
needs to disassemble the branch instruction and record the branch
type.
Change log:
v10: Not changed.
v9: Not changed.
v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
No other change.
v7: Just keep the most common branch types.
Others are removed.
v6: Not changed.
v5: Not changed. The v5 patch series just change the userspace.
v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:
1. Remove the PERF_BR_JCC_FWD/PERF_BR_JCC_BWD, they will be
computed later in userspace.
2. Remove the "cross" field in perf_branch_entry. The cross page
computing will be done later in userspace.
