perf parse-events x86: Avoid sorting uops_retired.slots

As topdown.slots may appear as slots it may get confused with
uops_retired.slots which is an invalid perf metric event group leader.

Special case uops_retired.slots to avoid this confusion.

perf pmus: Remove perf_pmus__has_hybrid

perf_pmus__has_hybrid was used to detect when there was >1 core PMU,
this can be achieved with perf_pmus__num_core_pmus that doesn't depend
upon is_pmu_hybrid and PMU name comparisons. When modifying the
function calls take the opportunity to improve comments,
enable/simplify tests that were previously failing for hybrid but now
pass and to simplify generic code.

perf pmus: Allow just core PMU scanning

Scanning all PMUs is expensive as all PMUs sysfs entries are loaded,
benchmarking shows more than 4x the cost:

```
$ perf bench internals pmu-scan -i 1000
Computing performance of sysfs PMU event scan for 1000 times
Average core PMU scanning took: 989.231 usec (+- 1.535 usec)
Average PMU scanning took: 4309.425 usec (+- 74.322 usec)
```

Add new perf_pmus__scan_core routine that scans just core
PMUs. Replace perf_pmus__scan calls with perf_pmus__scan_core when
non-core PMUs are being ignored.

perf parse-events: Don't reorder atom cpu events

On hybrid systems the topdown events don't share a fixed counter on
the atom core, so they don't require the sorting the perf metric

# 347c2f0a 11-Mar-2023 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf parse-events: Sort and group parsed events

This change is intended to be a no-op for most current cases, the
default sort order is the order the events were parsed. Where it
varies is in how groups are handled. Previously an uncore and core
event that are grouped would most often cause the group to be removed:

```
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/}' -a sleep 1
WARNING: grouped events cpus do not match, disabling group:
anon group { instructions, uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_total/ }
...
```

However, when wildcards are used the events should be re-sorted and
re-grouped in parse_events__set_leader, but this currently fails for
simple examples:

```
$ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/
<not counted> MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/

1.000996992 seconds time elapsed
```

A futher failure mode, fixed in this patch, is to force topdown events
into a group.

This change moves sorting the evsels in the evlist after parsing. It
requires parsing to set up groups. First the evsels are sorted
respecting the existing groupings and parse order, but also reordering
to ensure evsels of the same PMU and group appear together. So that
software and aux events respect groups, their pmu_name is taken from
the group leader. The sorting is done with list_sort removing a memory
allocation.

After sorting a pass is done to correct the group leaders and for
topdown events ensuring they have a group leader.

This fixes the problems seen before:

```
$ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

727.42 MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_read/
81.84 MiB uncore_imc_free_running/data_write/

1.000948615 seconds time elapsed
```

As well as making groups not fail for cases like:

```
$ perf stat -e '{imc_free_running_0/data_total/,imc_free_running_1/data_total/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

256.47 MiB imc_free_running_0/data_total/
256.48 MiB imc_free_running_1/data_total/

1.001165442 seconds time elapsed

perf stat: Add TopdownL1 metric as a default if present

When there are no events and on Intel, the topdown events will be
added by default if present. To display the metrics associated with
these request special handling in stat-shadow.c. To more easily update
these metrics use the json metric version via the TopdownL1
group. This makes the handling less platform specific.

Modify the metricgroup__has_metric code to also cover metric groups.

perf stat: Add topdown metrics in the default perf stat on the hybrid machine

Topdown metrics are missed in the default perf stat on the hybrid machine,
add Topdown metrics in default perf stat for hybrid systems.

Currently, we support the perf metrics Topdown for the p-core PMU in the
perf stat default, the perf metrics Topdown support for e-core PMU will be
implemented later separately. Refactor the code adds two x86 specific
functions. Widen the size of the event name column by 7 chars, so that all
metrics after the "#" become aligned again.

The perf metrics topdown feature is supported on the cpu_core of ADL. The
dedicated perf metrics counter and the fixed counter 3 are used for the
topdown events. Adding the topdown metrics doesn't trigger multiplexing.

perf x86 evlist: Add default hybrid events for perf stat

Provide a new solution to replace the reverted commit ac2dc29edd21f9ec
("perf stat: Add default hybrid events")

For the default software attrs, nothing is changed.

For the default hardware attrs, create a new evsel for each hybrid pmu.

With the new solution, adding a new default attr will not require the
special support for the hybrid platform anymore.

Also, the "--detailed" is supported on the hybrid platform

perf evlist: Always use arch_evlist__add_default_attrs()

Current perf stat uses the evlist__add_default_attrs() to add the
generic default attrs, and uses arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to add
the Arch specific default attrs, e.g., Topdown for x86.

It works well for the non-hybrid platforms. However, for a hybrid
platform, the hard code generic default attrs don't work.

Uses arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to replace the
evlist__add_default_attrs(). The arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() is
modified to invoke the same __evlist__add_default_attrs() for the
generic default attrs. No functional change.

Add default_null_attrs[] to indicate the arch specific attrs.
No functional change for the arch specific default attrs either.

perf parse-events: Move slots event for the hybrid platform too

The commit 94dbfd6781a0e87b ("perf parse-events: Architecture specific
leader override") introduced a feature to reorder the slots event to
fulfill the restriction of the perf metrics topdown group. But the
feature doesn't work on the hybrid machine.

$ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> cpu_core/instructions/
<not counted> cpu_core/slots/
<not supported> cpu_core/topdown-retiring/

1.002871801 seconds time elapsed

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

Introduce a new function to check whether the system supports the perf
metrics feature. The result is cached for the future usage.

For X86, the core PMU name always has "cpu" prefix.

With the patch:

$ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

perf parse-events: Support different format of the topdown event name

The evsel->name may have a different format for a topdown event, a pure
topdown name (e.g., topdown-fe-bound), or a PMU name + a topdown name
(e.g., cpu/topdown-fe-bound/). The cpu/topdown-fe-bound/ kind format
isn't supported by the arch_evlist__leader(). This format is a very
common format for a hybrid platform, which requires specifying the PMU
name for each event.

Without the patch,

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/}' -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> instructions
<not counted> slots
<not supported> cpu/topdown-fe-bound/

1.003482041 seconds time elapsed

Some events weren't counted. Try disabling the NMI watchdog:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
perf stat ...
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
The events in group usually have to be from the same PMU. Try reorganizing the group.

perf parse-events: Move slots only with topdown

If slots isn't with a topdown event then moving it is unnecessary. For
example {instructions, slots} is re-ordered:

appears with topdown events. Add extra checking so that the slots event
is only moved in the case of there being a topdown event like:

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a sleep 1

perf parse-events: Architecture specific leader override

Currently topdown events must appear after a slots event:

$ perf stat -e '{slots,topdown-fe-bound}' /bin/true

Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

3,183,090 slots
986,133 topdown-fe-bound

Reversing the events yields:

$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (topdown-fe-bound).

For metrics the order of events is determined by iterating over a
hashmap, and so slots isn't guaranteed to be first which can yield this
error.

Change the set_leader in parse-events, called when a group is closed, so
that rather than always making the first event the leader, if the slots
event exists then it is made the leader. It is then moved to the head of
the evlist otherwise it won't be opened in the correct order.

The result is:

$ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true

Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

3,274,795 slots
1,001,702 topdown-fe-bound

A problem with this approach is the slots event is identified by name,
names can be overwritten like 'cpu/slots,name=foo/' and this causes the
leader change to fail.

The change also modifies and fixes mixed groups like, with the change:

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

5574985410 slots
971981616 instructions
1348461887 topdown-fe-bound

2.001263120 seconds time elapsed

Without the change:

$ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> instructions
<not counted> slots
<not supported> topdown-fe-bound

2.006247990 seconds time elapsed

Something that may be undesirable here is that the events are reordered
in the output.

perf stat: Add Topdown metrics L2 events as default events

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors.

The Topdown metrics L1 event was added as default in 42641d6f4d15e6db
("perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events")

From the Sapphire Rapids server and later platforms, the same dedicated
"metrics" register is extended to support both L1 and L2 events.

Add both L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events as default to enrich the
default measuring information if the new measurement register is
available.

On legacy systems there is no change to avoid extra multiplexing.

The topdown_level indicates the max metrics level for the top-down
statistics. Set it to 2 to display all L1 and L2 Topdown metrics events.

perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. From the Ice Lake and later platforms, the
Topdown information can be retrieved from the dedicated "metrics"
register, which isn't impacted by other events. Also, the Topdown
metrics support both per thread/process and per core measuring. Adding
Topdown metrics events as default events can enrich the default
measuring information, and would not cost any extra multiplexing.

Introduce arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to allow architecture
specific default events. Add the Topdown metrics events in the X86
specific arch_evlist__add_default_attrs(). Other architectures can add
their own default events later separately.
