For events that count data cache fills, some combinations of the unit
mask bits are useful for counting fills from local caches, DRAM or any
far sources. However, named events currently exist for PMCx044 (Any Data
Cache Fills) only. Add similar events for the following base events.
* PMCx043 (Demand Data Cache Fills)
* PMCx059 (Software Prefetch Data Cache Fills)
* PMCx05A (Hardware Prefetch Data Cache Fills)
While at it, remove "ls_any_fills_from_sys.all_dram_io" since it is a
duplicate of "ls_any_fills_from_sys.dram_io_all".
Event descriptions can be found in Section 2.1.16.5.2 "Load/Store (LS)
Events" of the Processor Programming Reference (PPR) for AMD Family 1Ah
Model 02h Revision C1 Processors document available at the link below.

Perf test case 84 'perf pipe recording and injection test'
sometime fails on s390, especially on z/VM virtual machines.
This is caused by a very short run time of workload
# perf test -w noploop
which runs for 1 second. Occasionally this is not long
enough and the perf report has no samples for symbol noploop.
Fix this and enlarge the runtime for the perf work load
to 3 seconds. This ensures the symbol noploop is always
present. Since only s390 is affected, make this loop
architecture dependend.

Like in the metricgroup tests, it should check the permission first and
then skip relevant failures accordingly.
Also it needs to try again with the system wide flag properly. On the
second round, check if the result has the metric name because other
failure cases are checked in the first round already.

When tried to probe symbol "print_data(int)", the log shows:
Symbol print_data(int) address found : afc
The found address is 0xafc - which is right with verifying the output
result from nm. Afterwards when write event, the command uses offset
0xb38 in the last log, which is a wrong address.
The dwarf_diename() gets a common function name, in above case, it
returns string "print_data". As a result, the tool parses the offset
based on the common name. This leads to probe at the wrong symbol
"print_data(Point&)".
To fix the issue, use the die_get_linkage_name() function to retrieve
the distinct linkage name - this is the mangled name for the C++ case.
Based on this unique name, the tool can get a correct offset for
probing. Based on DWARF doc, it is possible the linkage name is missed
in the DIE, it rolls back to use dwarf_diename().

perf list picks the events supported for specific platform
from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/<platform>. Example power10 events
are in pmu-events/arch/powerpc/power10, power9 events are part
of pmu-events/arch/powerpc/power9. The decision of which
platform to pick is determined based on PVR value in powerpc.
The PVR value is matched from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/mapfile.csv
Example:
Format:
PVR,Version,JSON/file/pathname,Type
0x004[bcd][[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power8,core
0x0066[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power8,core
0x004e[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power9,core
0x0080[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power10,core
0x0082[[:xdigit:]]{4},1,power10,core
The code gets the PVR from system using get_cpuid_str function
in arch/powerpc/util/headers.c ( from SPRN_PVR ) and compares
with value from mapfile.csv
In case of compat mode, say when partition is booted in a power9
mode when the system is a power10, this picks incorrectly. Because
PVR will point to power10 where as it should pick events from power9
folder. To support generic events, add new folder
pmu-events/arch/powerpc/compat to contain the ISA architected events
which is supported in compat mode. Also return 0x00ffffff as pvr
when booted in compat mode. Based on this pvr value, json will
pick events from pmu-events/arch/powerpc/compat

During the rework of the dso structure in patch ee756ef749 an
increment was forgotten for the symtab_type in case the data for
the kernel module are compressed. This affects the probing of the
kernel modules, which fails if the data are not already cached.
Increment the value of the symtab_type to its compressed variant so the
data could be recovered successfully.

snprintf() failed: -7; the event name nbase='this_is_a_very_very_long_print_data_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(int)' is too long
Error: Failed to add events.
An information is missed in the log that the symbol name and the event

probe for a long symbol.
This commit refines the log for reminding event syntax.

On my system, perf list is very slow to print the whole events. I think
there's a performance issue in SDT and uprobes event listing. I noticed
this issue while running perf test on x86 but it takes long to check
some CoreSight event which should be skipped quickly.
Anyway, some test uses perf list to check whether the required event is
available before running the test. The perf list command can take an
argument to specify event class or (glob) pattern. But glob pattern is
only to suppress output for unmatched ones after checking all events.
In this case, specifying event class is better to reduce the number of
events it checks and to avoid buggy subsystems entirely.
No functional changes intended.

Leverage the existed function perf_pmu__name_from_config() to check if
an event is topdown metrics event. perf_pmu__name_from_config() goes
through the defined formats and figures out the config of pre-defined
topdown events.
This avoids to figure out the config of topdown pre-defined events with
hard-coded format strings "event=" and "umask=" and provides more
flexibility.

The commit "3b5edc0421e2 (perf x86/topdown: Don't move topdown metric

metrics events which are not in same group with previous event. But it
just modifies the 2nd comparator and causes the comparators become
asymmetric.
Thus modify the 1st topdown metrics comparator and make the two
comparators be symmetric, and refine the comments as well.
