If perf.data files are taken from one machine to another they may
leak virtual addresses and so weaken ASLR on the machine they are
coming from. Add an aslr option for perf inject that remaps all
virtual addresses, or drops data/events, so that the virtual address
information isn't leaked.
This patch introduces the core ASLR remapping tool infrastructure and
implements remapping/tracking for metadata events (MMAP, MMAP2, COMM,
FORK, EXIT, KSYMBOL, TEXT_POKE). Sample events are delegated without
remapping for now.

The 1.x branch of Babeltrace has been superseded by 2.x in 2020 and has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.

Currently, the top-level Makefile.perf defines a massive global bpf-skel
umbrella target that pre-compiles all 12+ BPF skeletons (%.skel.h) upfront
before launching sub-makes. This forces unrelated sub-makes to serialize
behind bpftool and clang BPF target evaluations, causing parallel build
bottlenecks.
Furthermore, bench_uprobe.bpf.c lived inside util/bpf_skel/, breaking
conceptual directory encapsulation since it is consumed purely by
bench/uprobe.c.
Refactor the BPF skeletons to better achieve directory isolation:
1. Move tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/bench_uprobe.bpf.c directly into
tools/perf/bench/bpf_skel/.
2. Extract the skeleton generation infrastructure out of Makefile.perf into
a shared inclusion file tools/perf/bpf_skel.mak.
3. Include bpf_skel.mak locally inside tools/perf/util/Build and
tools/perf/bench/Build and bind precise local prerequisites.
4. Safely synchronize the shared bpftool bootstrap and vmlinux.h targets
via the conditional prepare: umbrella to avoid parallel sub-make races,
while evaluating the actual skeletons completely locally on demand. A
later patch will move these targets into bpf_skel.mak.
5. Export CLANG from the global Makefile to ensure accurate tool
propagation.
6. Clean up Makefile.perf by stripping the global bpf-skel umbrella target
and its SKELETONS list.
While removing code from Makefile.perf generally helps build
performance, the impact here is minimal. The main motivation for the
change is to better encapsulate things in the build and simplify
Makefile.perf that has around 50 lines removed.

Previously, builtin-trace.c directly included 15 embedded C files
(e.g. trace/beauty/mmap.c and fsconfig_arrays.c), which in turn depend
on dozens of generated beauty script arrays. To satisfy these embedded
inclusions, the global Makefile.perf would define all the generator
variables/rules and include them in the prepare umbrella target, choking
parallel build startup.
Furthermore, tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c included its own generated mapper,
and util/env.c conditionally included arch_errno_names.c inline, splitting
consumers across directories and preventing clean Make encapsulation.
Refactor the framework to achieve better encapsulation:
1. Move util/syscalltbl.[ch] into trace/beauty/ to co-locate with all
generated code consumers.
2. Create fsconfig.c and flatten embedded beauty .c files to compile as
independent standalone objects via trace/beauty/Build, exporting their
formatting functions via beauty.h and env.h. Switch arch_errno_names.o
and syscalltbl.o assignments directly to perf-util-y and add an
unconditional top-level recursive kbuild hook (perf-util-y += trace/beauty/)
to compile them into libperf-util.a, resolving remote linkage for util/env.c,
util/bpf-trace-summary.c, and standalone python extensions.
3. Bridge private opaque references (struct trace) securely via accessors
trace__show_zeros() and trace__host(), avoiding header entanglements.
4. Consolidate all generator variables, script paths, and array generation
rules entirely out of Makefile.perf and place them directly inside the
exact local Build files where their output objects are compiled
(trace/beauty/Build and trace/beauty/tracepoints/Build), binding
prerequisites locally. Use directly inside
generator recipes to guarantee dynamic directory creation before script
redirection, and append across all rules to print
clean, standardized GEN ... file.c output during compilation.
5. Clean up clean target to recursively remove the generated directory
instead of relying on dozens of individual variables.
This unchokes the "prepare" target parallel barrier, allows make to evaluate
generation scripts purely locally where consumed, and flattens the tracepoint
formatting architecture.
Testing a parallel build (make -j28 all from scratch) shows improvements:
Before:
real 0m28.689s
user 2m38.490s
sys 0m30.148s
After:
real 0m27.642s
user 2m32.356s
sys 0m26.683s
So reclaiming ~9.6 seconds of raw CPU time and over 1 full second off
overall real-world build latency, by overlapping sub-make startup and
avoiding top-level double-parsing overhead.

Add an implementation of addr2line that uses libdw.
Other addr2line implementations are slow, particularly in the case of
forking addr2line.
Add an implementation that caches the libdw information in the dso and
uses it to find the file and line number information.
Inline information is supported but because cu_walk_functions_at visits
the leaf function last add a inline_list__append_tail to reverse the
lists order.
Committer testing:
# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf libdw__addr2line
Added new event:
probe_perf:libdw_addr2line (on libdw__addr2line in /home/acme/bin/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:libdw_addr2line -aR sleep 1
#
# perf stat -e probe_perf:libdw_addr2line perf report -f --dso perf --stdio -s srcfile,srcline
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

Something to investigate further, but at least we don't fallback to the

Add VPA DTL PMU auxtrace process function for "perf report -D".
The auxtrace event processing functions are defined in file
"util/powerpc-vpadtl.c".
Data structures used includes "struct powerpc_vpadtl_queue", "struct
powerpc_vpadtl" to store the auxtrace buffers in queue. Different
PERF_RECORD_XXX are generated during recording.
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO is processed first since it is of type
perf_user_event_type and perf session event delivers
perf_session__process_user_event() first.
Define function powerpc_vpadtl_process_auxtrace_info() to handle the
processing of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO records.
In this function, initialize the aux buffer queues using
auxtrace_queues__init().
Setup the required infrastructure for aux data processing.
The data is collected per CPU and auxtrace_queue is created for each
CPU.
Define powerpc_vpadtl_process_event() function to process
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE records.
In this, add the event to queue using auxtrace_queues__add_event() and
process the buffer in powerpc_vpadtl_dump_event().
The first entry in the buffer with timebase as zero has boot timebase
and frequency.
Remaining data is of format for "struct powerpc_vpadtl_entry".
Define the translation for dispatch_reasons and preempt_reasons, report
this when dump trace is invoked via powerpc_vpadtl_dump()
Sample output:

called when BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 is used. This makes the builtin-trace.c
slightly smaller and simpler by removing the skeleton and its helpers.
The conditional guard of trace__init_syscalls_bpf_prog_array_maps() is
changed from the HAVE_BPF_SKEL to HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT as it doesn't
have a skeleton in the code directly. And a dummy function is added so
that it can be called unconditionally. The function will succeed only
if the both conditions are true.
Do not include trace_augment.h from the BPF code and move the definition
of TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF to the BPF directly.

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.

When -s/--summary option is used, it doesn't need (augmented) arguments
of syscalls. Let's skip the augmentation and load another small BPF
program to collect the statistics in the kernel instead of copying the
data to the ring-buffer to calculate the stats in userspace. This will
be much more light-weight than the existing approach and remove any lost
events.
Let's add a new option --bpf-summary to control this behavior. I cannot
make it default because there's no way to get e_machine in the BPF which
is needed for detecting different ABIs like 32-bit compat mode.
No functional changes intended except for no more LOST events. :)

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
script --itrace=i0`:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/
Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> replied that the zero
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
functions are created and added throughout the code base.

Rather than treat tool events as a special kind of event, create a
tool only PMU where the events/aliases match the existing
duration_time, user_time and system_time events. Remove special
parsing and printing support for the tool events, but add function
calls for when PMU functions are called on a tool_pmu.
Move the tool PMU code in evsel into tool_pmu.c to better encapsulate
the tool event behavior in that file.
