Handle the "Unit" field, which is needed to find the right PMU for an
event. We call it "pmu" and convert it to the perf pmu name with an
uncore prefix.
Handle the "ExtSel" field, which just extends the event mask with an
additional bit.
Handle the "Filter" field which adds parameters to the main event
to configure filtering.
Handle the "Unit" field which declares the unit the values should be
scaled too (similar to what the kernel exports)
Set up the "perpkg" field for uncore events so that perf knows they are
per package (similar to what the kernel exports)
Then output the fields into the pmu-events data structures which are
compiled into perf.
Filter out zero fields, except for the event itself.
v2: Fix compilation. Add uncore_ prefix at pre-processing time.
Move eventcode change to separate patch.
v3: Remove extra __maybe_unused

Add mapfile.csv and power8.json files for the Power8 processor.
Changelog[v3]
- [Namhyung Kim] Remove text from PublicDescription fields if it is
identical to or prefix of BriefDescription.
Changelog[v2]
- [Andi Kleen] Replace the vendor-family-model,version fields with
cpuid,version fields (to simplify mapfile)
- Reuse the JSON files when possible (i.e multiple cpuids can refer
to the same JSON file) - so drop the 004d0100.json and use
power8.json in multiple entries in mapfile.
- Add few more Power8 PVRs to mapfile
Changelog[v21]
- Group events into per topic per cpu model.

The JSON event lists use a different encoding for fixed counters than
perf for instructions and cycles (ref-cycles is ok)
This lead to some common events like inst_retired.any or
cpu_clk_unhalted.thread not counting, when specified with their JSON
name.
Special case these events in the jevents conversion process. I prefer
to not touch the JSON files for this, as it's intended that standard
JSON files can be just dropped into the perf build without changes.

This is a modified version of an earlier patch by Andi Kleen.
We expect architectures to create JSON files describing the performance
monitoring (PMU) events that each CPU model/family of the architecture
supports.
Following is an example of the JSON file entry for an x86 event:
[
...
{
"EventCode": "0x00",
"UMask": "0x01",
"EventName": "INST_RETIRED.ANY",
"BriefDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
"PublicDescription": "Instructions retired from execution.",
"Counter": "Fixed counter 1",
"CounterHTOff": "Fixed counter 1",
"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
"SampleAfterValue": "2000003",
"MSRIndex": "0",
"MSRValue": "0",
"TakenAlone": "0",
"CounterMask": "0",
"Invert": "0",
"AnyThread": "0",
"EdgeDetect": "0",
"PEBS": "0",
"PRECISE_STORE": "0",
"Errata": "null",
"Offcore": "0"
},
...
]
All the PMU events supported by a CPU model/family must be grouped into
"topics" such as "Pipelining", "Floating-point", "Virtual-memory" etc.
All events belonging to a topic must be placed in a separate JSON file
(eg: "Pipelining.json") and all the topic JSON files for a CPU model must
be in a separate directory.
Eg: for the CPU model "Silvermont_core":
$ ls tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core
Floating-point.json
Memory.json
Other.json
Pipelining.json
Virtualmemory.json
Finally, to allow multiple CPU models to share a single set of JSON files,
architectures must provide a mapping between a model and its set of events:
$ grep Silvermont tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv
GenuineIntel-6-4D,V13,Silvermont_core,core
GenuineIntel-6-4C,V13,Silvermont_core,core
which maps each CPU, identified by [vendor, family, model, version, type]
to a directory of JSON files. Thus two (or more) CPU models support the
set of PMU events listed in the directory.
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Silvermont_core/
Given this organization of files, the program, jevents:
- locates all JSON files for each CPU-model of the architecture,
- parses all JSON files for the CPU-model and generates a C-style
"PMU-events table" (pmu-events.c) for the model
- locates a mapfile for the architecture
- builds a global table, mapping each model of CPU to the corresponding
PMU-events table.
The 'pmu-events.c' is generated when building perf and added to libperf.a.
The global table pmu_events_map[] table in this pmu-events.c will be used
in perf in a follow-on patch.
If the architecture does not have any JSON files or there is an error in
processing them, an empty mapping file is created. This would allow the
build of perf to proceed even if we are not able to provide aliases for
events.
The parser for JSON files allows parsing Intel style JSON event files. This
allows to use an Intel event list directly with perf. The Intel event lists
can be quite large and are too big to store in unswappable kernel memory.
The conversion from JSON to C-style is straight forward. The parser knows
(very little) Intel specific information, and can be easily extended to
handle fields for other CPUs.
The parser code is partially shared with an independent parsing library,
which is 2-clause BSD licensed. To avoid any conflicts I marked those
files as BSD licensed too. As part of perf they become GPLv2.
Committer notes:
Fixes:
1) Limit maxfds to 512 to avoid nftd() segfaulting on alloca() with a
big rlim_max, as in docker containers - acme
2) Make jevents a hostprog, supporting cross compilation - jolsa
3) Use HOSTCC for jevents final step - acme
4) Define _GNU_SOURCE for asprintf, as we can't use CC's EXTRA_CFLAGS,
that has to have --sysroot on the Android NDK 24 - acme
5) Removed $(srctree)/tools/perf/pmu-events/pmu-events.c from the
'clean' target, it is generated on $(OUTPUT)pmu-events/pmu-events.c,
which is already taken care of in the original patch - acme

I need a JSON parser. This adds the simplest JSON parser I could find --
Serge Zaitsev's jsmn `jasmine' -- to the perf library. I merely
converted it to (mostly) Linux style and added support for non 0
terminated input.
The parser is quite straight forward and does not copy any data, just
returns tokens with offsets into the input buffer. So it's relatively
efficient and simple to use.
The code is not fully checkpatch clean, but I didn't want to completely
fork the upstream code.
Original source: http://zserge.bitbucket.org/jsmn.html
In addition I added a simple wrapper that mmaps a json file and provides
some straight forward access functions.
Used in follow-on patches to parse event files.
