perf parse-regs: Introduce a weak function arch__sample_reg_masks()

Every architecture can provide a register list for sampling. If an
architecture doesn't support register sampling, it won't define the data
structure 'sample_reg_masks'. Consequently, any code using this
structure must be protected by the macro 'HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT'.

This patch defines a weak function, arch__sample_reg_masks(), which will
be replaced by an architecture-defined function for returning the
architecture's register list. With this refactoring, the function always
exists, the condition checking for 'HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' is not
needed anymore, so remove it.

# ff382c1c 05-Jun-2023 Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>

perf parse-regs: Move out arch specific header from util/perf_regs.h

util/perf_regs.h includes another perf_regs.h:

#include <perf_regs.h>

Here it includes architecture specific header, for example, if we build
arm64 target, the header tools/perf/arch/arm64/include/perf_regs.h is
included.

We use this implicit way to include architecture specific header, which
is not directive; furthermore, util/perf_regs.c is coupled with the
architecture specific definitions.

This patch moves out arch specific header from util/perf_regs.h for
generalizing the 'util' folder, as a result, the source files in 'arch'
folder explicitly include architecture's perf_regs.h.

perf tools: Move 'struct perf_sample' to a separate header file to disentangle headers

Some places were including event.h just to get 'struct perf_sample',
move it to a separate place so that we speed up a bit the build.

perf tools: Record ARM64 LR register automatically

On ARM64, automatically record the link register if the frame pointer
mode is on. It will be used to do a dwarf unwind to find the caller of
the leaf frame if the frame pointer was omitted.

perf arm64/s390: Fix printf conversion specifier for IP addresses

We need to use "%#" PRIx64 for u64 values, not "%lx". In arm64's and
s390x cases the compiler doesn't complain, but lets fix this in case
this code gets copied to a 32-bit arch, like with powerpc 32-bit that
got fixed in the previous patch.

# 78886f3e 30-Mar-2020 Kemeng Shi <shikemeng@huawei.com>

perf symbols: Fix arm64 gap between kernel start and module end

During execution of command 'perf report' in my arm64 virtual machine,
this error message is showed:

failed to process sample

__symbol__inc_addr_samples(860): ENOMEM! sym->name=__this_module,
start=0x1477100, addr=0x147dbd8, end=0x80002000, func: 0

The error is caused with path:
cmd_report
__cmd_report
perf_session__process_events
__perf_session__process_events
ordered_events__flush
__ordered_events__flush
oe->deliver (ordered_events__deliver_event)

iter->add_entry_cb(hist_iter__report_callback)
hist_entry__inc_addr_samples
symbol__inc_addr_samples
__symbol__inc_addr_samples
h = annotated_source__histogram(src, evidx) (NULL)

annotated_source__histogram failed is caused with path:
...
hist_entry__inc_addr_samples
symbol__inc_addr_samples
symbol__hists
annotated_source__alloc_histograms
src->histograms = calloc(nr_hists, sizeof_sym_hist) (failed)

Calloc failed as the symbol__size(sym) is too huge. As show in error
message: start=0x1477100, end=0x80002000, size of symbol is about 2G.

This is the same problem as 'perf annotate: Fix s390 gap between kernel
end and module start (b9c0a64901d5bd)'. Perf gets symbol information from
/proc/kallsyms in __dso__load_kallsyms. A part of symbol in /proc/kallsyms
from my virtual machine is as follows:
#cat /proc/kallsyms | sort
...
ffff000001475080 d rpfilter_mt_reg [ip6t_rpfilter]
ffff000001475100 d $d [ip6t_rpfilter]
ffff000001475100 d __this_module [ip6t_rpfilter]
ffff000080080000 t _head
ffff000080080000 T _text
ffff000080080040 t pe_header
...

Take line 'ffff000001475100 d __this_module [ip6t_rpfilter]' as example.
The start and end of symbol are both set to ffff000001475100 in
dso__load_all_kallsyms. Then symbols__fixup_end will set the end of symbol
to next big address to ffff000001475100 in /proc/kallsyms, ffff000080080000
in this example. Then sizeof of symbol will be about 2G and cause the
problem.

The start of module in my machine is
ffff000000a62000 t $x [dm_mod]

The start of kernel in my machine is
ffff000080080000 t _head

There is a big gap between end of module and begin of kernel if a samll
amount of memory is used by module. And the last symbol in module will
have a large address range as caotaining the big gap.

Give that the module and kernel text segment sequence may change in
the future, fix this by limiting range of last symbol in module and kernel
to 4K in arch arm64.
