perf tsc: Add arch TSC frequency information

The TSC frequency information is required for the event metrics with the
literal, system_tsc_freq. For the newer Intel platform, the TSC
frequency information can be retrieved from the CPUID leaf 0x15. If the
TSC frequency information isn't present the /proc/cpuinfo approach is
used.

Refactor cpuid() for this use. Note, the previous stack pushing/popping
approach was broken on x86-64 that has stack red zones that would be
clobbered.

Committer testing:

Before:

$ perf record sleep 0.0001
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
$ perf report --header-only |& grep cpuid
# cpuid : AuthenticAMD,25,33,0
$

After the patch:

$ perf record sleep 0.0001
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
$ perf report --header-only |& grep cpuid
# cpuid : AuthenticAMD,25,33,0
$

perf vendor events: Add stepping in CPUID string for x86

The perf tools cannot find the proper event list for the Cascadelake
server. Because the Cascadelake server and the Skylake server have the
same CPU model number, which are used by the perf tools to find the
event list.

The stepping for Skylake server is up to 4.

The stepping for Cascadelake server starts from 5.

The stepping can be used to distinguish between them.

The stepping is added in get_cpuid_str().

The stepping information for Skylake server is updated in mapfile.csv.

A x86 specific strcmp_cpuid_cmp() function is added to handle two CPUID
formats in mapfile.csv, "vendor-family-model-stepping" and
"vendor-family-model":

- If a cpuid-regular-expression from the mapfile.csv using the new
stepping format, a cpuid-string generated on the machine must include
stepping. Otherwise, it is a mismatch.

- If the cpuid-regular-expression using the old non-stepping format,
the stepping in the cpuid-string will be ignored.

The script, using environment string "PERF_CPUID" without stepping on
Skylake server, will be broken. If so, users must fix their scripts.

perf record: Fix failed memory allocation for get_cpuid_str

In x86 architecture dependend part function get_cpuid_str() mallocs a
128 byte buffer, but does not check if the memory allocation succeeded
or not.

When the memory allocation fails, function __get_cpuid() is called with
first parameter being a NULL pointer. However this function references
its first parameter and operates on a NULL pointer which might cause
core dumps.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

perf tools: Use scnprintf where applicable

Several places were expecting that the value returned was the number of

Fix it by using the scnprintf and vscnprintf variants we inherited from

Some corner cases where the number of printed characters were not
accounted were fixed too.

# fbe96f29 30-Sep-2011 Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)

The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
what was recorded, on what machine and when.

This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The
change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.

We define the following useful new extensions:
- HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
- HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
- HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
- HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
- HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
- HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
- HEADER_VERSION: perf version
- HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
- HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
- HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication

The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
ASCII strings.

Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
topology may be requested with the -I option.

Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
this patch.
