perf auxtrace: Record whether an auxtrace mmap is needed

Add a flag needs_auxtrace_mmap to record whether an auxtrace mmap is
needed, in preparation for correctly determining whether or not an
auxtrace mmap is needed.

perf evlist: Adopt backwards ring buffer state enum

As this isn't used at all in mmap.h but in evlist.h, so to cut down the
header dependency tree, move it to where it is used.

Also add mmap.h to the places using it but previously getting it
indirectly via evlist.h.

Add missing pthread.h to evlist.h, as it has a pthread_t struct member
and was getting the header via mmap.h.

Noticed while processing a Jiri's libperf batch touching mmap.h, where
almost everything gets rebuilt because evlist.h is so popular, so cut
down't this rebuild the world party.

libperf: Rename the PERF_RECORD_ structs to have a "perf" prefix

Even more, to have a "perf_record_" prefix, so that they match the

perf record: Move record_opts and other record decls out of perf.h

And into a separate util/record.h, to better isolate things and make
sure that those who use record_opts and the other moved declarations
are explicitly including the necessary header.

libperf: Move perf_event_attr field from perf's evsel to libperf's perf_evsel

Move the perf_event_attr struct fron 'struct evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel'.

Committer notes:

Fixed up these:

tools/perf/arch/arm/util/auxtrace.c
tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c
tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/arm-spe.c
tools/perf/arch/s390/util/auxtrace.c
tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c

Also

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
tests/sample-parsing.c: In function 'do_test':
tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: missing initializer
tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: (near initialization for 'evsel.core.cpus')

struct evsel evsel = {
.needs_swap = false,
- .core.attr = {
- .sample_type = sample_type,
- .read_format = read_format,
+ .core = {
+ . attr = {
+ .sample_type = sample_type,
+ .read_format = read_format,
+ },

[perfbuilder@a70e4eeb5549 /]$ gcc --version |& head -1
gcc (GCC) 4.4.7

Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in
tools/perf/lib/include/perf/evsel.h, forward declaring 'struct
perf_event_attr' is enough. And this even fixes the build in some
systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.

perf auxtrace: Support for perf report -D for s390

Add initial support for s390 auxiliary traces using the CPU-Measurement
Sampling Facility.

Support and ignore PERF_REPORT_AUXTRACE_INFO records in the perf data
file. Later patches will show the contents of the auxiliary traces.

Setup the auxtrace queues and data structures for s390. A raw dump of
the perf.data file now does not show an error when an auxtrace event is
encountered.

Output before:

[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -D -i perf.data.auxtrace
0x128 [0x10]: failed to process type: 70
Error:

Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software
implementation, provided by Hendrik Brueckner (see Link: below).

=============================================================================

The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain
performance information on the mainframe. Basically, it was introduced
with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit.
For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling
facility. The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions,
cycles, crypto-activities, and many more.

The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write
samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer. At some point,
for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect
samples (while the sampler continues to run).

Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter
and sampling facilities. Recently, the device driver was updated to also
"export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area. Thomas now completed the
related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data.

If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a
look into:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26fcd1cc32246f4c8852574ce0044734a

and to learn how-to use it for Linux on Z, have look at chapter 54,
"Using the CPU-measurement facilities" in the:

# 5d9946c3 23-Apr-2018 Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com>

perf record: Fix s390 undefined record__auxtrace_init() return value

Command 'perf record' calls:

cmd_report()
record__auxtrace_init()
auxtrace_record__init()

On s390 function auxtrace_record__init() returns random return value due
to missing initialization.

This sometime causes 'perf record' to exit immediately without error
message and creating a perf.data file.

Fix this by setting error the return code to zero before returning from
platform specific functions which may not set the error code in call
cases.

s390/perf: add callback to perf to enable using AUX buffer

Perf tool need implement a callback to enable using AUX buffer. Perf
will do another mmap() to trigger the setup of AUX buffer in kernel
if there is such callback. The default size of the AUX buffer is set
properly according to the sampling frequency to avoid overflow. It
could also be manually set by -m option of perf.

The interface of perf is not changed. Diagnostic mode sampling
could be started by `perf record -e rBD000` like before.
