DRM clients expose information through usage stats as documented in
Documentation/gpu/drm-usage-stats.rst (available online at
https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/drm-usage-stats.html). Add a tool like
PMU, similar to the hwmon PMU, that exposes DRM information. For
example on a tigerlake laptop:
```
$ perf list drm
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):
drm:
drm-active-stolen-system0
[Total memory active in one or more engines. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-active-system0
[Total memory active in one or more engines. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-engine-capacity-video
[Engine capacity. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-engine-copy
[Utilization in ns. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-engine-render
[Utilization in ns. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-engine-video
[Utilization in ns. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-engine-video-enhance
[Utilization in ns. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-purgeable-stolen-system0

drm-purgeable-system0
[Size of resident and purgeable memory bufers. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-resident-stolen-system0
[Size of resident memory bufers. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-resident-system0
[Size of resident memory bufers. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-shared-stolen-system0
[Size of shared memory bufers. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-shared-system0
[Size of shared memory bufers. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-total-stolen-system0
[Size of shared and private memory. Unit: drm_i915]
drm-total-system0
[Size of shared and private memory. Unit: drm_i915]
```
System wide data can be gathered:
```

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.

Symbolize stack traces by creating a live machine. Add this
functionality to dump_stack and switch dump_stack users to use
it. Switch TUI to use it. Add stack traces to the child test function
which can be useful to diagnose blocked code.

The hangup happens because nothing in` perf` or `elfutils` checks if a
mapped file is easily readable.
The change conservatively skips all non-regular files.

This is an end-to-end test for the PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA support.
It adds a new "bpf_metadata_perf_version" variable to perf's BPF programs,
so that when they are loaded, there will be at least one BPF program with
some metadata to parse. The test invokes "perf record" in a way that loads
one of those BPF programs, and then sifts through the output to find its
BPF metadata.

Look for .rodata maps, find ones with 'bpf_metadata_' variables, extract
their values as strings, and create a new PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA
synthetic event using that data. The code gets invoked from the existing
routine perf_event__synthesize_one_bpf_prog().
For example, a BPF program with the following variables:
const char bpf_metadata_version[] SEC(".rodata") = "3.14159";
int bpf_metadata_value[] SEC(".rodata") = 42;
would generate a PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA record with:
.prog_name = <BPF program name, e.g. "bpf_prog_a1b2c3_foo">
.nr_entries = 2
.entries[0].key = "version"
.entries[0].value = "3.14159"
.entries[1].key = "value"
.entries[1].value = "42"
Each of the BPF programs and subprograms that share those variables would
get a distinct PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA record, with the ".prog_name"
showing the name of each program or subprogram. The prog_name is
deliberately the same as the ".name" field in the corresponding
PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL record.
This code only gets invoked if support for displaying BTF char arrays
as strings is detected.

This creates a config option that detects libbpf's ability to display
character arrays as strings, which was just added to the BPF tree
(https://git.kernel.org/bpf/bpf-next/c/87c9c79a02b4).
To test this change, I built perf (from later in this patch set) with:
- static libbpf (default, using source from kernel tree)
- dynamic libbpf (LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 LIBBPF_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include)
For both the static and dynamic versions, I used headers with and without
the ".emit_strings" option.
I verified that of the four resulting binaries, the two with
".emit_strings" would successfully record BPF_METADATA events, and the two
without wouldn't. All four binaries would successfully display
BPF_METADATA events, because the relevant bit of libbpf code is only used
during "perf record".

cannot set other default modifiers correctly.
perf kvm needs to set attr.exclude_host by default but it didn't work
because of the logic in the parse_events__modifier_list(). Also the
exclude_GH_default was applied only if ":u" modifier was specified -
which is strange. Move it out after handling the ":GH" and check
perf_host and perf_guest properly.
Before:
$ ./perf kvm record -vv true |& grep exclude
(nothing)
But specifying an event (without a modifier) works:
$ ./perf kvm record -vv -e cycles true |& grep exclude
exclude_host 1
After:
It now works for the both cases:
$ ./perf kvm record -vv true |& grep exclude
exclude_host 1
$ ./perf kvm record -vv -e cycles true |& grep exclude
exclude_host 1

Test that disabling rdpmc support via /sys/bus/event_source/cpu*/rdpmc
disables reading in the mmap (libperf read support will fallback to
using a system call).
Test all hybrid PMUs support rdpmc.
Ensure hybrid PMUs use the correct CPU to rdpmc the correct
event. Previously the test would open cycles or instructions with no
extended type then rdpmc it on whatever CPU. This could fail/skip due
to which CPU the test was scheduled upon.

Namhyung Kim reported:
I've updated the perf-tools-next to v6.16-rc1 and found a build error
like below on alpine linux 3.18.
In file included from bench/futex.c:6:
/usr/include/sys/prctl.h:88:8: error: redefinition of 'struct prctl_mm_map'
88 | struct prctl_mm_map {

In file included from bench/futex.c:5:

134 | struct prctl_mm_map {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
make[4]: *** [/linux/tools/build/Makefile.build:86: /build/bench/futex.o] Error 1
git bisect says it's the first commit introduced the failure.
So both /usr/include/sys/prctl.h and /linux/tools/include/uapi/linux/prctl.h
provide struct prctl_mm_map but their include guard must be different.
/usr/include/sys/prctl.h provided by glibc contains the
prctl() declaration. It includes also linux/prctl.h.
The /usr/include/sys/prctl.h on alpine linux is different. This is
probably coming from musl. It contains the PR_* definition and the
prctl() declaration. So it clashes here because now the one struct is
available twice.
The man page for prctl(2) says:
| #include <linux/prctl.h> /* Definition of PR_* constants */
| #include <sys/prctl.h>
so musl doesn't follow this.
So don't include linux/prctl.h explicitely and add some new defines
needed if they aren't available.

Further investigation reveals that this occurs in the `perf script tests`,
because it uses `db_test.py` script. This script sets `perf_db_export_mode = True`.
With `perf_db_export_mode` enabled, if a sample originates from a hypervisor,
perf doesn't set maps for "[H]" sample in the code. Consequently, `al->maps` remains NULL
when `maps__machine(al->maps)` is called from `db_export__sample`.
As al->maps can be NULL in case of Hypervisor samples , use thread->maps
because even for Hypervisor sample, machine should exist.
If we don't have machine for some reason, return -1 to avoid segmentation fault.

Ian mentioned a reliably occurred failure in the trace_btf_general test
where he obtained trace output of:
sleep/279619 clock_nanosleep(0, 0, {1,1,}, 0x7ffcd47b6450) = 0
But the regex pattern used for verification is
"^sleep/[0-9]+ clock_nanosleep\(0, 0, \{1,\}, ..."
This lead to a mismatch.
The reason is, different sleep commands use different timespec data to
call clock_nanosleep, on my machine, the value of tv_nsec is 0.
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.196 ms): sleep/54261 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec:
1, .tv_nsec: 0 }, rmtp: 0x7ffe13529550) = 0
~~~
While Ian had this trace log:
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.208 ms): sleep/1710732 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: {
.tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 1 }, rmtp: 0x7ffc091f4090) = 0
~~~
Because sleep's behavior of setting 'tv_nsec' is not certain, and tv_sec
is most definitely 1, this patch relaxes the key regex pattern to
'\{1,.*\}' for a better chance of matching.

The event 'timer:hrtimer_setup' is relatively new, for older kernels,
perf trace enum tests won't run as the event 'timer:hrtimer_setup'
cannot be found.
It was originally called 'timer:hrtimer_init', before being renamed in:
commit 244132c4e5 ("tracing/timers: Rename the hrtimer_init event to hrtimer_setup")
Using timer:hrtimer_start should be enough for current testing, and
hopefully 'start' won't be renamed in the future.

Currently perf test utilizes the set -e option in shell that exit
immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status, this prevents
further error handling and introduces ambiguity. This patch removes set
-e and prints the error message after invoking perf trace during perf
tests.
In my case, the command that exits with a non-zero status is perf
trace instead of grep, because it can't find the 'timer:hrtimer_setup'
tracepoint, see below.
