With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the sample-read feature should
be supported for a TopDown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read
a Topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors are out.
For a TopDown metric group,the slots event must be the leader of the group,
but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling. To support sample-read
the TopDown metric group, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader"
for the purposes of sampling.
Only the platform with the TopDown metric feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. In commit acb65150a4 ("perf record: Support sample-read
topdown metric group"), it adds arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate
whether the TopDown group supports sample-read, it should only work on the
non-hybrid systems, this patch extends the support for hybrid platforms.

Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_core/topdown-retiring/).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

segbase is the address of .eh_frame_hdr and table_data is segbase plus
the header size. find_proc_info computes segbase as `map->start +
segbase - map->pgoff` which is wrong when
* .eh_frame_hdr and .text are in different PT_LOAD program headers
* and their p_vaddr difference does not equal their p_offset difference
Since 10.0, ld.lld's default --rosegment -z noseparate-code layout has
such R and RX PT_LOAD program headers.
ld.lld (default) => perf report fails to unwind `perf record
--call-graph dwarf` recorded data
ld.lld --no-rosegment => ok (trivial, no R PT_LOAD)
ld.lld -z separate-code => ok but by luck: there are two PT_LOAD but
their p_vaddr difference equals p_offset difference
ld.bfd -z noseparate-code => ok (trivial, no R PT_LOAD)
ld.bfd -z separate-code (default for Linux/x86) => ok but by luck:
there are two PT_LOAD but their p_vaddr difference equals p_offset
difference
To fix the issue, compute segbase as dso's base address plus
PT_GNU_EH_FRAME's p_vaddr. The base address is computed by iterating
over all dso-associated maps and then subtract the first PT_LOAD p_vaddr
(the minimum guaranteed by generic ABI) from the minimum address.
In libunwind, find_proc_info transitively called by unw_step is cached,
so the iteration overhead is acceptable.

In the origin code, when "ExtSel" is 1, the eventcode will change to
"eventcode |= 1 << 21”. For event “UNC_Q_RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS",
its "ExtSel" is "1", its eventcode will change from 0x1E to 0x20001E,
but in fact the eventcode should <=0x1FF, so this will cause the parse
fail:
# perf stat -e "UNC_Q_RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS" -a sleep 0.1
event syntax error: '.._RxL_CREDITS_CONSUMED_VN0.DRS'
\___ value too big for format, maximum is 511
On the perf kernel side, the kernel assumes the valid bits are continuous.
It will adjust the 0x100 (bit 8 for perf tool) to bit 21 in HW.
DEFINE_UNCORE_FORMAT_ATTR(event_ext, event, "config:0-7,21");
So the perf tool follows the kernel side and just set bit8 other than bit21.

Architectures can detect availability of extra registers at runtime so
use this more complete set for unwinding. This will include the VG
register on arm64 in a later commit.
If the function isn't implemented then PERF_REGS_MASK is returned and
there is no change.
Committer notes:
Added util/perf_regs.c to tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources so that
'perf test python' passes, i.e. the perf python binding has all the
symbols it needs, addressing:
$ perf test -v python

If the slang lib is not installed on the system, perf c2c tool disables TUI
mode and roll back to use stdio mode; but the flag 'c2c.use_stdio' is
missed to set true and thus it wrongly applies UI quirks in the function
ui_quirks().
This commit forces to use stdio interface if slang is not supported, and
it can avoid to apply the UI quirks and show the correct metric header.
