The root cause is, evlist__add_bpf_sb_event() just returns 0 if
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined (inline function path). So it will
not create a valid evsel for side-band event.
But perf-record still creates BPF side band thread to process the
side-band event, then the error happpens.
We can reproduce this issue by removing the libelf-dev. e.g.
1. apt-get remove libelf-dev
2. perf record -a -- sleep 1
root@test:~# ./perf record -a -- sleep 1
perf: Segmentation fault

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
To fix this issue,
1. We either install the missing libraries to let HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
be defined.
e.g. apt-get install libelf-dev and install other related libraries.
2. Use this patch to skip the side-band event setup if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT
is not set.
Committer notes:
The side band thread is not used just with BPF, it is also used with
--switch-output-event, so narrow the ifdef to the BPF specific part.
Fixes: 23cbb41c93 ("perf record: Move side band evlist setup to separate routine")

Add a new CLOCK_DATA feature that stores reference times when
-k/--clockid option is specified.
It contains the clock id and its reference time together with wall clock
time taken at the 'same time', both values are in nanoseconds.
The format of data is as below:
struct {
u32 version; /* version = 1 */
u32 clockid;
u64 wall_clock_ns;
u64 clockid_time_ns;
};
This clock reference times will be used in following changes to display
wall clock for perf events.
It's available only for recording with clockid specified, because it's
the only case where we can get reference time to wallclock time. It's
can't do that with perf clock yet.
Committer testing:
$ perf record -h -k
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

Commit 0a892c1c94 ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide
synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing.
Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it
is not the first event. Adding another dummy tracking event causes
duplicated sideband events. Fix by checking for an existing dummy
tracking event first.
Example showing duplicated switch events:

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.
With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:
$ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....
One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

Context switch events are added automatically by Intel PT and Coresight.
Make it possible to suppress them. That is useful for tracing the
scheduler without the disturbance that the switch event processing
creates.
Example:
Prerequisites:
$ which perf
~/bin/perf
$ sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf
$ sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore
Before:
$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.938 MB perf.data ]
$ perf script -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SWITCH | wc -l
572
After:
$ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001
Warning:
Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing!
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

The setting and checking of 'done' contains a rare race where the signal
handler setting 'done' is run after checking to break the loop, but
before waiting in evlist__poll(). In this case, the main loop won't wake
up until either another signal is sent, or the perf data fd causes a
wake up.
The following simple script can trigger this condition (but you might
need to run it for several hours):
for ((i = 0; i >= 0; i++)) ; do
echo "Loop $i"
delay=$(echo "scale=4; 0.1 * $RANDOM/32768" | bc)
./perf record -- sleep 30000000 >/dev/null&
pid=$!
sleep $delay
kill -TERM $pid
echo "PID $pid"
wait $pid
done
At some point, the loop will stall. Adding logging, even though perf has
received the SIGTERM and set 'done = 1', perf will remain sleeping until
a second signal is sent.
Committer notes:
Make this dependent on HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT, so that we continue
building on older systems without the eventfd syscall.

During the processing of /proc during event synthesis new processes may
start. Add a dummy event if /proc is to be processed, to capture mmaps
for starting processes. This reuses the existing logic for
initial-delay.
v3 fixes the attr test of test-record-C0
v2 fixes the dummy event configuration and a branch stack issue.

To control degree of parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which
is scanning /proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming.
Mimic perf top way of handling the option.
If not specified will default to 1 thread, i.e. default behavior before
this option.
On a desktop computer the processing of /proc/PID/task/PID/maps isn't
slow enough to warrant parallel processing and the thread creation has
some cost - hence the default of 1. On a loaded server with
>100 cores it is possible to see synthesis times in the order of
seconds and in this case having the option is desirable.
As the processing is a synchronization point, it is legitimate to worry if
Amdahl's law will apply to this patch. Profiling with this patch in
place:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200415054050.31645-4-irogers@google.com/
shows:
...
- 32.59% __perf_event__synthesize_threads
- 32.54% __event__synthesize_thread
+ 22.13% perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events
+ 6.68% perf_event__get_comm_ids.constprop.0
+ 1.49% process_synthesized_event
+ 1.29% __GI___readdir64
+ 0.60% __opendir
...
That is the processing is 1.49% of execution time and there is plenty to
make parallel. This is shown in the benchmark in this patch:

Average time per event 2.269 usec
Where average time per synthesized event goes from 5.927 usec with 1
thread to 2.269 usec with 8. This isn't a linear speed up as not all of
synthesize code has been made parallel. If the synthesis time was about
10 seconds then using 8 threads may bring this down to less than 4.

Use struct mmap_cpu_mask type for the tool's thread and mmap data
buffers to overcome current 1024 CPUs mask size limitation of cpu_set_t
type.
Currently glibc's cpu_set_t type has an internal mask size limit of 1024
CPUs.
Moving to the 'struct mmap_cpu_mask' type allows overcoming that limit.
The tools bitmap API is used to manipulate objects of 'struct mmap_cpu_mask'
type.
Committer notes:
To print the 'nbits' struct member we must use %zd, since it is a
size_t, this fixes the build in some toolchains/arches.

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.
This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.
We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.
It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.
Before with a large test case with 94 CPUs:
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
42.75 4.050910 67 60046 110 perf_event_open
After:
26.86 0.944396 16 58069 110 perf_event_open
(the number changes slightly because the weak group retries
work differently and the test case relies on weak groups)

At the end of a 'perf record' session, by default, we'll process all
samples and populate the threads, maps, etc so as to find out which of
the DSOs got samples, to reduce the size of the build-id table we'll
add to the perf.data headers.
But we don't need to process the PERF_RECORD_MMAP events synthesized
for the kernel modules, as we have those already via
perf_session__create_kernel_maps(), so add mmap/mmap2 handlers that
first look at event->header.misc to see if the event is for a user map,
bailing out if not.

The patch adds a new option to limit the output file size, then based on
it, we can create a wrapper of the perf command that uses the option to
avoid exhausting the disk space by the unconscious user.
In order to make the perf.data parsable, we just limit the sample data
size, since the perf.data consists of many headers and sample data and
other data, the actual size of the recorded file will bigger than the
setting value.
Testing it:
# ./perf record -a -g --max-size=10M
Couldn't synthesize bpf events.
[ perf record: perf size limit reached (10249 KB), stopping session ]
[ perf record: Woken up 32 times to write data ]
