Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Introduce 'perf inject --aslr' to remap ASLR-randomized addresses in
   perf.data files, enabling reproducible analysis across runs with
   different address space layouts

   perf_sample and remove the redundant evsel parameter from tool APIs,
   tracepoint handlers, hist entry iterators, and db-export, simplifying
   the entire tool callback chain

 - Switch architecture detection from string-based perf_env__arch()
   comparisons to the numeric ELF e_machine field across the codebase
   (capstone, print_insn, c2c, lock-contention, sort, sample-raw,
   machine, header), making cross-analysis more robust

Michael JeansonandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 536e81f074 perf data ctf: replace libbabeltrace with babeltrace2-ctf-writer
The 1.x branch of Babeltrace has been superseded by 2.x in 2020 and has
been unmaintained since 2022, efforts have started to remove it from
popular distributions.

Babeltrace 2.x offers a very similar 'ctf-writer' library that can be used
with minimal changes for the '--to-ctf' feature and has been packaged
since Debian 11 and Fedora 32.

This patch replaces the 'libbabeltrace' build feature with
'babeltrace2-ctf-writer' using pkgconfig detection, adjusts the naming of
the public headers and applies minor API cleanups.

There is no changes to the output ctf traces, the ctf-writer API still
implements version 1.8 of the CTF specification that can be read by
either Babeltrace 1 / 2 or any CTF compliant reader.

Also remove some ifdefs in the cli option parsing to allow printing the
helpful error message with '--to-ctf' when built without babeltrace2.

Ian RogersandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 7e1f74bbbe tools build: Fix feature checks to touch target files on success
In tools/build/feature/Makefile, test-clang-bpf-co-re.bin and
test-bpftool-skeletons.bin redirected grep output but never touched or
created the $@ target file upon success.

Because the target file was never created on disk, Kbuild could never cache
the result of the check. Consequently, Make treated the prerequisite as
missing and continuously re-executed the Clang BPF backend and bpftool
feature checks on every single sub-make evaluation during build startup, or
on every incremental build.

Refactor both feature check recipes to touch $@ on success. For
test-clang-bpf-co-re.bin, group the shell pipeline within curly braces
and redirect both stdout and stderr to .make.output to allow errors to
be inspected and not appear in build output.

List test-clang-bpf-co-re.bin's input C file as a dependency so
modification triggers a rebuild. For test-bpftool-skeletons.bin, add it
to the FILES list so that it will be cleaned.

Tiezhu YangandAndrii Nakryiko a4a5d4ee06 libbpf: Add __NR_bpf definition for LoongArch
LoongArch uses the generic syscall table, where __NR_bpf is defined
as 280 in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h.

To align with other architectures, add the __NR_bpf definition for
LoongArch to avoid a potential compilation failure: "error __NR_bpf
not defined. libbpf does not support your arch."

This is a follow up patch of:

  commit b0c47807d3 ("bpf: Add sparc support to tools and samples.")

   - Support flat layout for symfs. The --symfs option is to specify the
     location of debugging symbol files. The default 'hierarchy' layout
     would search the symbol file using the same path of the original
     file under the symfs root. The new 'flat' layout would search only
     in the root directory.

   - Update 'simd' sort key for ARM SIMD flags to cover ASE/SME and more
     predicate flags.

   - Add --pmu-filter option to select specific PMUs. This would be
     useful when you measure metrics from multiple instance of uncore
     PMUs with similar names.

Linus Torvalds 9e1e9d6602 Merge tag 'trace-rtla-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull RTLA updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Simplify option parsing

   Auto-generate getopt_long() optstring for short options from long
   options array, avoiding the need to specify it manually and reducing
   the surface for mistakes.

 - Add unit tests

   Implement unit tests (make unit-tests) using libcheck, next to
   existing runtime tests (make check). Currently, three functions from
   utils.c are tested.

 - Add --stack-format option

   In addition to stopping stack pointer decoding (with -s/--stack
   option) on first unresolvable pointer, allow also skipping
   unresolvable pointers and displaying everything, configurable with a
   new option.

 - Unify number of CPUs into one global variable

   Use one global variable, nr_cpus, to store the number of CPUs instead
   of retrieving it and passing it at multiple places.

 - Fix behavior in various corner cases

   Make RTLA behave correctly in several corner cases: memory allocation
   failure, invalid value read from kernel side, thread creation
   failure, malformed time value input, and read/write failure or
   interruption by signal.

 - Improve string handling

   Simplify several places in the code that handle strings, including
   parsing of action arguments. A few new helper functions and variables
   are added for that purpose.

 - Get rid of magic numbers

   Few places handling paths use a magic number of 1024. Replace it with
   MAX_PATH and ARRAY_SIZE() macro.

 - Unify threshold handling

   Code that handles response to latency threshold is duplicated between
   tools, which has led to bugs in the past. Unify it into a new helper
   as much as possible.

 - Fix segfault on SIGINT during cleanup

   The SIGINT handler touches dynamically allocated memory. Detach it
   before freeing it during cleanup to prevent segmentation fault and
   discarding of output buffers. Also, properly document SIGINT handling
   while at it.

Detect required target and pass it via rust_flags to the compiler.

Note that CROSS_COMPILE might be different from what rust compiler
expects, since it may omit the target vendor value, e.g.
"aarch64-linux-gnu" instead of "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu".

Thus explicitly map supported CROSS_COMPILE values to corresponding Rust
versions, as suggested by Miguel Ojeda.

Tested using arm64 cross-compilation example from [1].

Changqing LiandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo f079ff3732 tools build: Make in-target rule robust against too long argument error
The command length of in-target scales with the depth of the directory
times the number of objects in the Makefile.

When there are many objects, and O=[absolute_path] is set, and the
absolute_path is relatively long.

It is possible that this line "$(call if_changed,$(host)ld_multi)" will
report error: "make[4]: /bin/sh: Argument list too long"

For example, build perf tools with O=/long/output/path

Like built-in.a and *.mod rules in scripts/Makefile.build, add
$(objpredix)/ by the shell command instead of by Make's builtin
function.

Dmitrii DolgovandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 804490c3eb tools build: Fix feature test for rust compiler
Currently a dummy rust code is compiled to detect if the rust feature
could be enabled. It turns out that in this case rust emits a dependency
file without any external references:

    /perf/feature/test-rust.d: test-rust.rs

    /perf/feature/test-rust.bin: test-rust.rs

    test-rust.rs:

This can lead to a situation, when rustc was removed after a successful build,
but the build process still thinks it's there and the feature is enabled on
subsequent runs.

Instead simply check the compiler presence to detect the feature, as
suggested by Arnaldo.

This way no actual test-rust.bin will be created, meaning the feature
check will not be cached and always performed. That's exactly what we
want, and the overhead of doing this every time is minimal.

Tested with multiple rounds of install/remove of the rust package.

Features in FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC will be set as being available if
test-all.c builds, so since the rust test isn't included in test-all.c,

Arnaldo Carvalho de MeloandNamhyung Kim fe072f6510 tools build: Fix the common set of features test wrt libopenssl
The recent introduction of the libopenssl feature test forgot to add the
-lssl to the test-all.o target, which made it always fail, fix it.

Noticed by looking at this file after building:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-all.make.output
  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccBhO8WH.ltrans0.ltrans.o: in function `main':

  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  $

It was added only to the individual ssl test, that works:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-libopenssl.make.output
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf-tools/feature/test-libopenssl.bin | grep ssl
	libssl.so.3 => /usr/lib64/libssl.so.3 (0x00007fb81eda8000)

 "Perf event/metric description:

  Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event
  parsing and handling is greatly simplified by that.

  From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information
  about hardware events like the following.

    List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

    legacy hardware:
      branch-instructions
           [Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu]
      branch-misses
           [Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
      branches
           [Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
      bus-cycles
           [Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu]
      cache-misses
           [Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
            PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
      cache-references
           [Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
            prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]
      cpu-cycles
           [Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cycles]. Unit: cpu]
      cycles
           [Total cycles. Be wary of what happens during CPU frequency scaling [This event is an alias of cpu-cycles]. Unit: cpu]
      instructions
           [Retired instructions. Be careful,these can be affected by various issues,most notably hardware interrupt counts. Unit: cpu]
      ref-cycles
           [Total cycles; not affected by CPU frequency scaling. Unit: cpu]

  But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side,
  the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)

  Deferred unwinding support:

  With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd: "perf: Support deferred
  user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack
  trace with frame pointers like below:

    $ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...

  This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
  perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
  to the previous samples as if they were collected together.

  ARM SPE updates

   - Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
     operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
     register access, and SIMD operations.

   - Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
     exclude certain data sources.

   - Improve documentation.

  Vendor event updates:

   - Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor
     Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.

   - Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE
     definitions.

   - RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.

  Misc:

   - Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
     output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.

   - Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to
     enter annotation view from cacheline browser window. This will show
     which instruction is causing the cacheline contention.

   - Lots of fixes and test coverage improvements!"

   Introduce new objtool features and a klp-build script to generate
   livepatch modules using a source .patch as input.

   This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch
   project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to
   generate livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a
   complete rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+
   years of maintaining kpatch.

   Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:

    - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
      graph analysis to help detect changed functions.

    - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
      compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.

    - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.

    - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.

    - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for
      symbol/section/reloc inclusion and special section extraction.

    - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
      caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines
      script which injects #line directives into the source .patch to
      preserve the original line numbers at compile time.

 - Disassemble code with libopcodes instead of running objdump
   (Alexandre Chartre)

 - Disassemble support (-d option to objtool) by Alexandre Chartre,
   which supports the decoding of various Linux kernel code generation
   specials such as alternatives:

      17ef:  sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x62f                 mov    0x34(%r9),%edx

      17f8:  sched_balance_find_dst_group+0x638                 cmp    %eax,%edx

   ... jump table alternatives:

      18a1:  sched_use_asym_prio+0x11                           and    $0x80,%ecx

   ... exception table alternatives:

   .... x86 feature flag decoding (also see the X86_FEATURE_POPCNT
        example in sched_balance_find_dst_group() above):

      2faaf:  start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x1f                                    jne    0x2fba4 <start_thread_common.constprop.0+0x114>

   ... NOP sequence shortening:

Ian RogersandNamhyung Kim c819bfdc4a tool build: Remove __get_cpuid feature test
This feature test is no longer used so remove.

The function tested by the feature test is used in:
tools/power/x86/x86_energy_perf_policy/x86_energy_perf_policy.c
however, the Makefile just assumes the presence of the function and
doesn't perform a build feature test for it.
