For the sake of Intel topdown events commit 9eac5612da ("perf
stat: Don't skip failing group events") changed 'perf stat' error
handling making it so that more errors were fatal and didn't report
"<not supported>" events. The change outside of topdown events was
unintentional.
The notion of "fatal" error handling was introduced in commit
e0e6a6ca3a ("perf stat: Factor out open error handling") and
refined in commits like commit cb5ef60067 ("perf stat: Error out
unsupported group leader immediately") to be an approach for avoiding
later assertion failures in the code base.
This change fixes those issues and removes the notion of a fatal error
on an event. If all events fail to open then a fatal error occurs with
the previous fatal error message. This seems to best match the notion of
supported events and allowing some errors not to stop 'perf stat', while
allowing the truly fatal no event case to terminate the tool early.
The evsel->errored flag is only used in the stat code but always just
meaning !evsel->supported although there is a comment about it being
sticky. Force all evsels to be supported in evsel__init and then clear
this when evsel__open fails. When an event is tried the supported is
set to true again. This simplifies the notion of whether an evsel is
broken.
In the get_group_fd code, fail to get a group fd when the evsel isn't
supported. If the leader isn't supported then it is also expected that
there is no group_fd as the leader will have been skipped. Therefore
change the BUG_ON test to be on supported rather than skippable. This
corrects the assertion errors that were the reason for the previous
fatal error handling.

DRM clients expose information through usage stats as documented in
Documentation/gpu/drm-usage-stats.rst (available online at

example on a tigerlake laptop:
```

As with the hwmon PMU, high numbered PMU types are used to encode
multiple possible "DRM" PMUs. The appropriate fdinfo is found by
scanning /proc and filtering which fdinfos to read with stat. To avoid
some unneeding scanning, events not starting with "drm-" are
ignored. The patch builds on commit 57e13264dc ("perf pmus:
Restructure pmu_read_sysfs to scan fewer PMUs") and later so that only
if full wild carding is being done, the PMU starts with "drm_" or the
event starts with "drm-" will /proc be scanned. That is there should
be little to no cost in this PMU unless DRM events are requested.

Parse the off-cpu event using parse_event(), as bpf-output.
Call evlist__enable_evsel() on off-cpu event. This fixes the inability
to collect direct off-cpu samples on a workload, as reported by Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>.
The reason being, workload sets enable_on_exec instead of calling
evlist__enable(), but off-cpu event does not attach to an executable and
execve won't be called, so the fds from perf_event_open() are not
enabled.
no-inherit should be set to 1, here's the reason:
We update the BPF perf_event map for direct off-cpu sample dumping (in
following patches), it executes as follows:
bpf_map_update_value()
bpf_fd_array_map_update_elem()
perf_event_fd_array_get_ptr()
perf_event_read_local()
In perf_event_read_local(), there is:
int perf_event_read_local(struct perf_event *event, u64 *value,
u64 *enabled, u64 *running)
{
...
/*
* It must not be an event with inherit set, we cannot read
* all child counters from atomic context.
*/
if (event->attr.inherit) {
ret = -EOPNOTSUPP;
goto out;
}
Which means no-inherit has to be true for updating the BPF perf_event
map.
Moreover, for bpf-output events, we primarily want a system-wide event
instead of a per-task event.
The reason is that in BPF's bpf_perf_event_output(), BPF uses the CPU
index to retrieve the perf_event file descriptor it outputs to.
Making a bpf-output event system-wide naturally satisfies this
requirement by mapping CPU appropriately.

evsel names and metric-ids are used for matching but this can be
problematic, for example, multiple occurrences of the same retirement
latency event become a single event for the record.
Change the name of the record events so they are unique and reflect the
evsel of the retirement latency event that opens them (the retirement
latency event's evsel address is embedded within them).
This allows an evsel based close to close the event when the retirement
latency event is closed.
This is important as 'perf stat' has an evlist and the session listen to
the record events has an evlist, knowing which event should remove the
tpebs_retire_lat can't be tied to an evlist list as there is more than
1, so closing which evlist should cause the tpebs to stop?
Using the evsel and the last one out doing the tpebs_stop is cleaner.

The evsel__handle_error_quirks() is to fixup invalid event attributes on
some architecture based on the error code. Currently it's only used for
AMD to disable precise_ip not to use IBS which has more restrictions.
But the commit c33aea446b changed call evsel__precise_ip_fallback
for any errors so there's no difference with the above function. To
make matter worse, it caused a problem with branch stack on Zen3.
The IBS doesn't support branch stack so it should use a regular core
PMU event. The default event is set precise_max and it starts with 3.
And evsel__precise_ip_fallback() tries with it and reduces the level one
by one. At last it tries with 0 but it also failed on Zen3 since the
branch stack is not supported for the cycles event.
At this point, evsel__precise_ip_fallback() restores the original
precise_ip value (3) in the hope that it can succeed with other modifier
(like exclude_kernel). Then evsel__handle_error_quirks() see it has
precise_ip != 0 and make it retry with 0. This created an infinite
loop.

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two
values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes
size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian
Barnes <tavianator@tavianator.com> as about 2.5% when running `perf

initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed.
This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the
perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and
intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the
allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To
support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit

The evsel__detect_missing_features() is to check if the attributes of
the evsel is supported or not. But it checks the attribute based on the
given evsel, it might miss something if the attr doesn't have the bit or
give incorrect results if the event is special.
Also it maintains the order of the feature that was added to the kernel
which means it can assume older features should be supported once it
detects the current feature is working. To minimized the confusion and
to accurately check the kernel features, I think it's better to use a
software event and go through all the features at once.
Also make the function static since it's only used in evsel.c.
