The current code unconditionally clears cpuc->event_constraint[i]
before calling get_event_constraints(.idx=i). The only site that cares
is intel_get_event_constraints() where the c1 load will always be
NULL.
However, always calling get_event_constraints() on all events is
wastefull, most times it will return the exact same result. Therefore
retain the logic in intel_get_event_constraints() and change the
generic code to only clear the constraint on put.

The flag PERF_X86_EVENT_COMMITTED is used to find uncommitted events
for which to call put_event_constraint() when scheduling fails.
These are the newly added events to the list, and must form, per
definition, the tail of cpuc->event_list[]. By computing the list
index of the last successfull schedule, then iteration can start there
and the flag is redundant.
There are only 3 callers of x86_schedule_events(), notably:
- x86_pmu_add()
- x86_pmu_commit_txn()
- validate_group()
For x86_pmu_add(), cpuc->n_events isn't updated until after
schedule_events() succeeds, therefore cpuc->n_events points to the
desired index.
For x86_pmu_commit_txn(), cpuc->n_events is updated, but we can
trivially compute the desired value with cpuc->n_txn -- the number of
events added in this transaction.
For validate_group(), we can make the rule for x86_pmu_add() work by
simply setting cpuc->n_events to 0 before calling schedule_events().

There is a special case for validate_events() where we'll call
x86_pmu.get_constraints(.idx=-1). It's purpose, up until recent, seems
to be to avoid taking a previous constraint from
cpuc->event_constraint[] in intel_get_event_constraints().
(I could not find any other get_event_constraints() implementation
using @idx)
However, since that cpuc is freshly allocated, that array will in fact
be initialized with NULL pointers, achieving the very same effect.
Therefore remove this exception.

Update all the Intel JSON metrics from Ahmad Yasin's TMAM 3.5
for Intel big core from Sandy Bridge to Cascade Lake.
This has many improvements and new metircs
- New TopDownL1_SMT group that provides a per SMT thread version
of --topdown that does not require -a anymore. The drawback is
increased multiplexing though since L1 TopDown does not fit into
4 generic counters anymore.
- Added SMT aware versions of other metrics
- Split SMT aware metrics into separate metrics to avoid
unnecessary event collections
- New metrics for better branch analysis:
Estimated Branch_Mispredict_Costs, Instructions per taken Branch,
Branch Instructions per Taken Branch, etc.
- Instruction mix metrics:
Instructions per load, Instructions per store, Instructions per Branch,
Instructions per Call
- New Cache metrics:
Bandwidth to L1/L2/L3 caches. L1/L2/L3 misses per kilo instructions.
memory level parallelism
- New memory controller metrics:
Normalized memory bandwidth in interval mode, Average memory latency,
Average number of parallel read requests,
- 3DXP persistent memory metrics for Cascade Lake:
3dxp read latency, 3dxp read/write bandwidth
- Some other useful metrics like Instruction Level Parallelism,
- Various other improvements.
Not all metrics are available on all CPUs. Skylake has best coverage.

Implement a --mmap-flush option that specifies minimal number of bytes
that is extracted from mmaped kernel buffer to store into a trace. The
default option value is 1 byte what means every time trace writing
thread finds some new data in the mmaped buffer the data is extracted,
possibly compressed and written to a trace.
$ tools/perf/perf record --mmap-flush 1024 -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
$ tools/perf/perf record --aio --mmap-flush 1K -e cycles -- matrix.gcc
The option is independent from -z setting, doesn't vary with compression
level and can serve two purposes.
The first purpose is to increase the compression ratio of a trace data.
Larger data chunks are compressed more effectively so the implemented
option allows specifying data chunk size to compress. Also at some cases
executing more write syscalls with smaller data size can take longer
than executing less write syscalls with bigger data size due to syscall
overhead so extracting bigger data chunks specified by the option value
could additionally decrease runtime overhead.
The second purpose is to avoid self monitoring live-lock issue in system
wide (-a) profiling mode. Profiling in system wide mode with compression
(-a -z) can additionally induce data into the kernel buffers along with
the data from monitored processes. If performance data rate and volume
from the monitored processes is high then trace streaming and
compression activity in the tool is also high. High tool process
activity can lead to subtle live-lock effect when compression of single
new byte from some of mmaped kernel buffer leads to generation of the
next single byte at some mmaped buffer. So perf tool process ends up in
endless self monitoring.
Implemented synch parameter is the mean to force data move independently
from the specified flush threshold value. Despite the provided flush
value the tool needs capability to unconditionally drain memory buffers,
at least in the end of the collection.
Committer testing:
Running with the default value, i.e. as soon as there is something to
read go on consuming, we first write the synthesized events, small
chunks of about 128 bytes:
# perf trace -m 2048 --call-graph dwarf -e write -- perf record
<SNIP>
101.142 ( 0.004 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x210db60, count: 120) = 120
__libc_write (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.28.so)

record__write (inlined)
process_synthesized_event (/home/acme/bin/perf)
perf_tool__process_synth_event (inlined)
perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf)
Then we move to reading the mmap buffers consuming the events put there
by the kernel perf infrastructure:
107.561 ( 0.005 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02000, count: 336) = 336

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
12920.094 ( 0.155 ms): perf/25821 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7f1befc02150, count: 261816) = 261816

<SNIP same backtrace as in the 107.561 timestamp>
If we limit it to write only when more than 16MB are available for
reading, it throttles that to a quarter of the --mmap-pages set for
'perf record', which by default get to 528384 bytes, found out using
'record -v':
mmap flush: 132096
mmap size 528384B
With that in place all the writes coming from
record__mmap_read_evlist(), i.e. from the mmap buffers setup by the
kernel perf infrastructure were at least 132096 bytes long.
Trying with a bigger mmap size:
perf trace -e write perf record -v -m 2048 --mmap-flush 16M
74982.928 ( 2.471 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff94a6cc000, count: 3580888) = 3580888

74987.764 ( 2.629 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9496ca000, count: 3859232) = 3859232
74990.399 ( 2.341 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff948ec9000, count: 3769032) = 3769032
74992.744 ( 2.064 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9486c8000, count: 3310520) = 3310520
74994.814 ( 2.619 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff947ec7000, count: 4194688) = 4194688
74997.439 ( 2.787 ms): perf/26500 write(fd: 3</root/perf.data>, buf: 0x7ff9476c6000, count: 4029760) = 4029760
Was again limited to a quarter of the mmap size:
mmap flush: 2098176
mmap size 8392704B
A warning about that would be good to have but can be added later,
something like:
"max flush is a quarter of the mmap size, if wanting to bump the mmap
flush further, bump the mmap size as well using -m/--mmap-pages"
Also rename the 'sync' parameters to 'synch' to keep tools/perf building
with older glibcs:

Rename some traceevent APIs for consistency:
tep_pid_is_registered() to tep_is_pid_registered()
tep_file_bigendian() to tep_is_file_bigendian()
to make the names and return values consistent with other tep_is_... APIs
tep_data_lat_fmt() to tep_data_latency_format()
to make the name more descriptive
tep_host_bigendian() to tep_is_bigendian()
tep_set_host_bigendian() to tep_set_local_bigendian()
tep_is_host_bigendian() to tep_is_local_bigendian()
"host" can be confused with VMs, and "local" is about the local
machine. All tep_is_..._bigendian(struct tep_handle *tep) APIs return
the saved data in the tep handle, while tep_is_bigendian() returns
the running machine's endianness.
All tep_is_... functions are modified to return bool value, instead of int.

This patch removes call to exit() from tep_filter_add_filter_str(). A
library function should not force the application to exit. In the
current implementation tep_filter_add_filter_str() calls exit() when a
special "test_filters" mode is set, used only for debugging purposes.
When this mode is set and a filter is added - its string is printed to
the console and exit() is called. This patch changes the logic - when in
"test_filters" mode, the filter string is still printed, but the exit()
is not called. It is up to the application to track when "test_filters"
mode is set and to call exit, if needed.

As struct tep_handler definition is not exposed as part of libtraceevent
API, its fields cannot be accessed directly by the library users. This
patch implements new APIs, which can be used to access the struct
tep_handler fields:
tep_get_event() - retrieves an event pointer at a specific index
tep_get_first_event() - is modified to use tep_get_event()
tep_clear_flag() - clears a tep handle flag
tep_test_flag() - test if a given flag is set
tep_get_header_timestamp_size() - returns the size of the timestamp stored
in the header.
tep_get_cpus() - returns the number of CPUs
tep_is_old_format() - returns true if data was created by an
older kernel with the old data format
tep_set_print_raw() - have the output print in the raw format
tep_set_test_filters() - debugging utility for testing tep filters

Existing API tep_list_events() is not thread safe, it uses the internal
array sort_events to keep cache of the sorted events and reuses it. This
patch implements a new API, tep_list_events_copy(), which allocates new
sorted array each time it is called. It could be used when a sorted
events functionality is needed in thread safe use cases. It is up to the
caller to free the array.

With security updates, %p in the kernel is hashed to protect true kernel
locations. But trace_printk() is not allowed in production systems, and
when a pointer is used, there are many times that the actual address is
needed. "%px" produces the real address. But libtraceevent does not know how
to handle that extension. Add it.

The perf metric expression use 'duration_time' internally to normalize
events. Normal 'perf stat' without -x also prints the duration time.
But when using -x, the interval is not output anywhere, which is
inconvenient for any post processing which often wants to normalize
values to time.
So implement 'duration_time' as a proper perf event that can be
specified explicitely with -e.
The previous implementation of 'duration_time' only worked for metric
processing. This adds the concept of a tool event that is handled by the
tool. On the kernel level it is still mapped to the dummy software
event, but the values are not read anymore, but instead computed by the
tool.
Add proper plumbing to handle this in the event parser, and display it
in 'perf stat'. We don't want 'duration_time' to be added up, so it's
only printed for the first CPU.
% perf stat -e duration_time,cycles true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
555,476 ns duration_time
771,958 cycles
0.000555476 seconds time elapsed

lists the long description of the available counters. For counter
named L1D_RO_EXCL_WRITES on machine types 3906 and 3907 the long
description contains the counter number 'Counter:128 Name:'
prefix. This is wrong.
The fix changes the description text and removes this prefix.
