perf_events may sometimes throttle an event due to creating too many
samples during a given timer tick.
As of now, the perf tool will not report on throttling, which means this
is a silent error.
Implement a callback for the throttle and unthrottle events within the
Python scripting engine, which can allow scripts to detect and report
when events may have been lost due to throttling.
The simplest script to report throttle events is:
def throttle(*args):
print("throttle" + repr(args))
def unthrottle(*args):
print("unthrottle" + repr(args))

Commit 48a1f56526 ("perf script python: Add more PMU fields to
event handler dict") added functionality to report fields like weight,
iregs, uregs etc via perf report. That commit predefined buffer size to
512 bytes to print those fields.
But in PowerPC, since we added extended regs support in:
068aeea377 ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs")
d735599a06 ("powerpc/perf: Add extended regs support for power10 platform")
Now iregs can carry more bytes of data and this predefined buffer size
can result to data loss in perf script output.
This patch resolves this issue by making the buffer size dynamic, based
on the number of registers needed to print. It also changes the
regs_map() return type from int to void, as it is not being used by the
set_regs_in_dict(), its only caller.
Fixes: 068aeea377 ("perf powerpc: Support exposing Performance Monitor Counter SPRs as part of extended regs")

To avoid this:
util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c: In function 'python_start_script':
util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c:1595:2: error: 'visibility' attribute ignored [-Werror=attributes]
1595 | PyMODINIT_FUNC (*initfunc)(void);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That started breaking when building with PYTHON=python3 and these gcc
versions (I haven't checked with the clang ones, maybe it breaks there
as well):
# export PERF_TARBALL=http://192.168.86.5/perf/perf-5.9.0.tar.xz
# dm fedora:33 fedora:rawhide
1 107.80 fedora:33 : Ok gcc (GCC) 10.2.1 20201005 (Red Hat 10.2.1-5), clang version 11.0.0 (Fedora 11.0.0-1.fc33)
2 92.47 fedora:rawhide : Ok gcc (GCC) 10.2.1 20201016 (Red Hat 10.2.1-6), clang version 11.0.0 (Fedora 11.0.0-1.fc34)
#
Avoid that by ditching that 'initfunc' function pointer with its:
#define Py_EXPORTED_SYMBOL _attribute_ ((visibility ("default")))
#define PyMODINIT_FUNC Py_EXPORTED_SYMBOL PyObject*
And just call PyImport_AppendInittab() at the end of the ifdef python3
block with the functions that were being attributed to that initfunc.

Passing build_id object to build_id__sprintf function, so it can operate
with the proper size of build id.
This will create proper md5 build id readable names,
like following:
a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff7
instead of:

Replace build_id byte array with struct build_id object and all the code
that references it.
The objective is to carry size together with build id array, so it's
better to keep both together.
This is preparatory change for following patches, and there's no
functional change.

As they are 'struct evsel' methods or related routines, not part of
tools/lib/perf/, aka libperf, to whom the perf_ prefix belongs.

The low level index of raw branch records for the most recent branch can
be recorded in a sample with PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX
branch_sample_type. Extend struct branch_stack to support it.
However, if the PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX is not applied, only nr and
entries[] will be output by kernel. The pointer of entries[] could be
wrong, since the output format is different with new struct
branch_stack. Add a variable no_hw_idx in struct perf_sample to
indicate whether the hw_idx is output. Add get_branch_entry() to return
corresponding pointer of entries[0].
To make dummy branch sample consistent as new branch sample, add hw_idx
in struct dummy_branch_stack for cs-etm and intel-pt.
Apply the new struct branch_stack for synthetic events as well.
Extend test case sample-parsing to support new struct branch_stack.
Committer notes:
Renamed get_branch_entries() to perf_sample__branch_entries() to have
proper namespacing and pave the way for this to be moved to libperf,
eventually.
Add 'static' to that inline as it is in a header.
Add 'hw_idx' to 'struct dummy_branch_stack' in cs-etm.c to fix the build
on arm64.
