ASan reported a memory leak of BPF-related ksymbols map and dso. The
leak is caused by refount never reaching 0, due to missing __put calls
in the function machine__process_ksymbol_register.
Once the dso is inserted in the map, dso__put() should be called
(map__new2() increases the refcount to 2).
The same thing applies for the map when it's inserted into maps
(maps__insert() increases the refcount to 2).

The following command segfaults on my x86 broadwell:
$ ./perf stat -M frontend_bound,retiring,backend_bound,bad_speculation sleep 1
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
anon group { raw 0x10e }
anon group { raw 0x10e }
perf: util/evsel.c:1596: get_group_fd: Assertion `!(!leader->core.fd)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
The issue shows itself as a use-after-free in evlist__check_cpu_maps(),
whereby the leader of an event selector (evsel) has been deleted (yet we
still attempt to verify for an evsel).
Fundamentally the problem comes from metricgroup__setup_events() ->
find_evsel_group(), and has developed from the previous fix attempt in
commit 9c880c24cb ("perf metricgroup: Fix for metrics containing
duration_time").
The problem now is that the logic in checking if an evsel is in the same
group is subtly broken for the "cycles" event. For the "cycles" event,
the pmu_name is NULL; however the logic in find_evsel_group() may set an
event matched against "cycles" as used, when it should not be.
This leads to a condition where an evsel is set, yet its leader is not.
Fix the check for evsel pmu_name by not matching evsels when either has a
NULL pmu_name.
There is still a pre-existing metric issue whereby the ordering of the
metrics may break the 'stat' function, as discussed at:

Now the boot-time tracing supports kprobes events and that must be
written in bootconfig file in the following format.
ftrace.event.kprobes.<EVENT_NAME>.probes = <PROBE-DEF>
'perf probe' already supports --definition (-D) action to show probe
definitions, but the format is for tracefs:
[p|r][:EVENT_NAME] <PROBE-DEF>
This patch adds the --bootconfig option for -D action so that it outputs
the probe definitions in bootconfig format. E.g.
$ perf probe --bootconfig -D "path_lookupat:7 err:s32 s:string"
ftrace.event.kprobes.path_lookupat_L7.probe = 'path_lookupat.isra.0+309 err_s32=%ax:s32 s_string=+0(%r13):string'

'perf probe' internally checks the probe target is in the text area in
post-process (after analyzing debuginfo). But it fails if the probe
target is in the "inittext".
This is a good limitation for the online kernel because such functions
have gone after booting. However, for using it for boot-time tracing,
user may want to put a probe on init functions.
This skips the post checking process if the target is offline kenrel so
that user can get the probe definition on the init functions.

When peeking an event, it has a short path and a long path. The short
path uses the session pointer "one_mmap_addr" to directly fetch the
event; and the long path needs to read out the event header and the
following event data from file and fill into the buffer pointer passed
through the argument "buf".
The issue is in the long path that it copies the event header and event
data into the same destination address which pointer "buf", this means
the event header is overwritten. We are just lucky to run into the
short path in most cases, so we don't hit the issue in the long path.
This patch adds the offset "hdr_sz" to the pointer "buf" when copying
the event data, so that it can reserve the event header which can be
used properly by its caller.

It is making 'perf test 10' fail:

⬢[acme@toolbox perf]
This reverts commit d89bf9cab1.
The perf_mem_events__name() can generate the mem-load event name.
It uses a variable 'mem_loads_name__init' to avoid generating the
event name every time (because perf_pmu__scan takes some time).
The perf_mem_events__name() assumes the pmu is "cpu" but it's not
correct for hybrid platform. For Alderlake, the pmu is "cpu_core" or
"cpu_atom"
Introduce a new parameter 'pmu_name' in perf_mem_events__name
to let the caller specify a pmu name.
Considering such event name is x86 specific, so move
perf_mem_events[] to arch/x86/util/mem-events.c.
We still keep the variable 'mem_loads_name__init' but it's only
used when pmu_name is NULL (compatible for original behavior). When
pmu_name is not NULL (e.g. "cpu_core"), this patch doesn't have
optimization. That can be implemented in follow up patch.

This test case fails on s390 virtual machine z/VM which has no PMU support
when the perf tool is built with LIBPFM4=1.
Using make LIBPFM4=1 builds the perf tool with support for libpfm
event notation. The command line flag --pfm-events is valid:
# ./perf record --pfm-events cycles -- true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
#
However the command 'perf test -Fv 17' fails on s390 z/VM virtual machine
with LIBPFM4=1:
# perf test -Fv 17
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr :
--- start ---
.....

expected exclude_hv=0, got 1
FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period' - match failure
---- end ----
Setup struct perf_event_attr: FAILED!
When --pfm-event system is not supported, the test returns unsupported
and continues. Here is an example using a virtual machine on x86 and
Fedora 34:
[root@f33 perf]# perf test -Fv 17
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr :
--- start ---
.....

unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
running './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
....
The issue is file ./tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period
which requires perf event attribute member exclude_hv to be zero.
This is not the case on s390 where the value of exclude_hv is one when
executing on a z/VM virtual machine without PMU hardware support.
Fix this by allowing value exlucde_hv to be zero or one.
Output before:
# /usr/bin/python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -t \
test-record-pfm-period -p ./perf -vvv 2>&1| fgrep match

match: [event:base-record] matches ['event-1-0-6', 'event-1-0-5']
matched
Background:
Using libpfm library ends up in this function call sequence
pfm_get_perf_event_encoding()
+-- pfm_get_os_event_encoding()
+-- pfmlib_perf_event_encode()
is called when no hardware specific PMU unit can be detected
as in the s390 z/VM virtual machine case. This uses the
"perf_events generic PMU" data structure which sets exclude_hv
to 1 per default. Using this PMU that test case always fails.
That is the reason why exclude_hv attribute setting varies.
Version 2:
As suggested by Ian Rogers make perf_event_attribute member
exclude_hv more robust and accept value 0 or 1 to handle more
test cases which might fail on s390 virtual machine z/VM.

I found that checking cgroup sampling support using the missing features
doesn't work on old kernels. Because it added both attr.cgroup bit and
PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit, it needs to check whichever comes first (usually
the actual event, not dummy).
But it only checks the attr.cgroup bit which is set only in the dummy
event so cannot detect failtures due the sample bits. Also we don't
ignore the missing feature and retry, it'd be better checking it with
the API probing logic.
Committer notes:
Extracted the minimal part to check using the new cgroup API probe
routine, the part that removes the cgroup member can be left for further
discussion.

If we just check whether the variable can be converted, 'tvar' should be
a null pointer. However, the null pointer check is missing in the
'Constant value' execution path.
The following cases can trigger this problem:
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
int a;
const int b = 1;
asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
printf("a: %d\n", a);
}
$ gcc test.c -o test -O -g
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -L "main"
<main@/home/lhf/test.c:0>
0 void main(void)
{
2 int a;
const int b = 1;
asm volatile("mov %1, %0" : "=r"(a): "i"(b));
6 printf("a: %d\n", a);
}
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
Segmentation fault
The check on 'tvar' is added. If 'tavr' is a null pointer, we return 0
to indicate that the variable can be converted. Now, we can successfully
show the variables that can be accessed.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -V "main:6"
Available variables at main:6
@<main+13>
char* __fmt
int a
int b
However, the variable 'b' cannot be tracked.
$ sudo ./perf probe -x ./test -D "main:6 b"
Failed to find the location of the 'b' variable at this address.
Perhaps it has been optimized out.
Use -V with the --range option to show 'b' location range.
Error: Failed to add events.
This is because __die_find_variable_cb() did not successfully match
variable 'b', which has the DW_AT_const_value attribute instead of
DW_AT_location. We added support for DW_AT_const_value in
