Delay accounting can now calculate the average delay of processes, detect
the overall system load, and also record the 'delay max' to identify
potential abnormal delays. However, 'delay min' can help us identify
another useful delay peak. By comparing the difference between 'delay
max' and 'delay min', we can understand the optimization space for
latency, providing a reference for the optimization of latency
performance.

Introduce the use cases of delay max, which can help quickly detect
potential abnormal delays in the system and record the types and specific
details of delay spikes.
Problem
========
Delay accounting can track the average delay of processes to show
system workload. However, when a process experiences a significant
delay, maybe a delay spike, which adversely affects performance,
getdelays can only display the average system delay over a period
of time. Yet, average delay is unhelpful for diagnosing delay peak.
It is not even possible to determine which type of delay has spiked,
as this information might be masked by the average delay.
Solution
=========
the 'delay max' can display delay peak since the system's startup,
which can record potential abnormal delays over time, including
the type of delay and the maximum delay. This is helpful for
quickly identifying crash caused by delay.
Use case
=========
bash# ./getdelays -d -p 244

After commit b1f202060a ("mm: remap unused subpages to shared zeropage
when splitting isolated thp"), cow test cases involving swapping out THPs
via madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) started to be skipped due to the subsequent
check via pagemap determining that the memory was not actually swapped
out. Logs similar to this were emitted:
...
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped-out, PTE-mapped THP (16 kB)
ok 2 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled?
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with single PTE of swapped-out THP (16 kB)
ok 3 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled?
# [RUN] Basic COW after fork() ... with swapped-out, PTE-mapped THP (32 kB)
ok 4 # SKIP MADV_PAGEOUT did not work, is swap enabled?
...
The commit in question introduces the behaviour of scanning THPs and if
their content is predominantly zero, it splits them and replaces the pages
which are wholly zero with the zero page. These cow test cases were
getting caught up in this.
So let's avoid that by filling the contents of all allocated memory with
a non-zero value. With this in place, the tests are passing again.

Convert TRFCR to automatic generation. Add separate definitions for ELx
and EL2 as TRFCR_EL1 doesn't have CX. This also mirrors the previous
definition so no code change is required.
Also add TRFCR_EL12 which will start to be used in a later commit.
Unfortunately, to avoid breaking the Perf build with duplicate
definition errors, the tools copy of the sysreg.h header needs to be
updated at the same time rather than the usual second commit. This is
because the generated version of sysreg

Jordan reported an issue in Meta production environment where func
try_to_wake_up() is renamed to try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() by clang
compiler at lto mode. The original 'kprobe/try_to_wake_up' does not
work any more since try_to_wake_up() does not match the actual func
name in /proc/kallsyms.
There are a couple of ways to resolve this issue. For example, in
attach_kprobe(), we could do lookup in /proc/kallsyms so try_to_wake_up()
can be replaced by try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). Or we can force users
to use bpf_program__attach_kprobe() where they need to lookup
/proc/kallsyms to find out try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). But these two
approaches requires extra work by either libbpf or user.
Luckily, suggested by Andrii, multi kprobe already supports wildcard ('*')
for symbol matching. In the above example, 'try_to_wake_up*' can match
to try_to_wake_up() or try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() and this allows
bpf prog works for different kernels as some kernels may have
try_to_wake_up() and some others may have try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>().
The original intention is to kprobe try_to_wake_up() only, so an optional
field unique_match is added to struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts. If the
field is set to true, the number of matched functions must be one.
Otherwise, the attachment will fail. In the above case, multi kprobe
with 'try_to_wake_up*' and unique_match preserves user functionality.

Needed to build tools/lib/bpf/ on various arches other than x86_64,
notably arm64 when using the perf tarballs generated by:
$ make help | grep perf-
perf-tar-src-pkg - Build the perf source tarball with no compression
perf-targz-src-pkg - Build the perf source tarball with gzip compression
perf-tarbz2-src-pkg - Build the perf source tarball with bz2 compression
perf-tarxz-src-pkg - Build the perf source tarball with xz compression
perf-tarzst-src-pkg - Build the perf source tarball with zst compression
$
Building with BPF support was opt-in in perf for a long time, and
testing it via the tarball main kernel Makefile targets in an
architecture other than x86_64 was an odd case.
I had noticed this at some point earlier this year while cross building
perf to some arches, including arm64, but it fell thru the cracks, see
the Link tag below.
Fix it now by adding those arch/*/include/uapi/asm/bpf_perf_event.h
files to the MANIFEST file used in building the perf source tarball.
Tested with:

In machine__create_module(), it reads /proc/modules to get a list of
modules in the system. The file shows the start address (of text) and
the size of the module so it uses the info to reconstruct system memory
maps for symbol resolution.
But module memory consists of multiple segments and they can be
scaterred. Currently perf tools assume they are contiguous and see some
overlaps. This can confuse the tool when it finds a map containing a
given address.
As we mostly care about the function symbols in the text segment, it can
fixup the size or end address of modules when there's an overlap. We
can use maps__fixup_end() which updates the end address using the start
address of the next map.
Ideally it should be able to track other segments (like data/rodata),
but that would require some changes in /proc/modules IMHO.

When there are more than one symbols at the same address, it needs to
choose which one is better. In choose_best_symbol() it didn't check the
type of symbols. It's possible to have labels in other symbols and in
that case, it would be better to pick the actual symbol over the labels.
To minimize the possible impact on other symbols, I only check NOTYPE
symbols specifically.
$ readelf -sW vmlinux | grep -e __do_softirq -e __softirqentry_text_start
105089: ffffffff82000000 814 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 __do_softirq
111954: ffffffff82000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 __softirqentry_text_start
The commit 77b004f4c5 tried to do the same by not giving the size
to the label symbols but it seems there's some label-only symbols in asm
code. Let's restore the original code and choose the right symbol using
type of the symbols.
Fixes: 77b004f4c5 ("perf symbol: Do not fixup end address of labels")

Some version of compilers reported unaligned accesses in perf trace when
undefined-behavior sanitizer is on. I found that it uses raw data in
the sample directly and assuming it's properly aligned.
Unlike other sample fields, the raw data is not 8-byte aligned because
there's a size field (u32) before the actual data. So I added a static
buffer in syscall__augmented_args() and return it instead. This is not
ideal but should work well as perf trace is single-threaded.
A better approach would be aligning the raw data by adding a 4-byte data
before the augmented args but I'm afraid it'd break the backward
compatibility.
Committer testing:
To build with the undefined behaviour sanitizer:
$ make CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS=-fsanitize=undefined -C tools/perf
Checking if the resulting binary is instrumented:
root@number:~# nm ~/bin/perf | grep ubsan | wc -l
113
root@number:~# nm ~/bin/perf | grep ubsan | tail -5

SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior trace/beauty/timespec.c:10:64
<SNIP>
As Namhyung said we need to make the raw_data to be 64-bit aligned,
probably we need to add a PERF_SAMPLE_ALIGNED_RAW with a 64-bit raw_size
instead of the current u32 done at kernel/events/core.c,
perf_output_sample(), that perf_output_put(handle, raw->size) where
raw->size is an u32 and then the raw_data is always 64-bit unaligned...
After the patch:
root@number:~# perf trace -e *nano* sleep 1.1
0.000 (1100.064 ms): sleep/1984224 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 100000001 }, rmtp: 0x7fff5b3fe970) = 0

Add a new selftest for netconsole that tests the userdata entry limit
functionality. The test performs two key verifications:
1. Create MAX_USERDATA_ITEMS (16) userdata entries successfully
2. Confirm that attempting to create an additional userdata entry fails
The selftest script uses the netcons library and checks the behavior
by attempting to create entries beyond the maximum allowed limit.

Modify the cleanup function to remove all userdata keys created during the
test, instead of just deleting a single predefined key. This ensures a
more thorough cleanup of temporary resources.
Move the KEY_PATH variable definition inside the set_user_data function
to reduce global variables and improve encapsulation. The KEY_PATH
variable is now dynamically created when setting user data.
This change has no effect on the current test, while improving an
upcoming test that would create several userdata entries.
