perf archive: Add new option '--unpack' to expand tarballs

Archives generated by the command 'perf archive' have to be unpacked
manually.

Following the addition of option '--all' now there also exist a nested
structure of tars, and after further discussion with Red Hat Global
Support Services, they found a feature correctly unpacking archives of
'perf archive' convenient.

Option '--unpack' of 'perf archive' unpacks archives generated by the
command 'perf archive' as well as archives generated when used with
option '--all'.

The 'perf.data' file is placed in the current directory, while debug
symbols are unpacked in '~/.debug' directory. A tar filename can be
passed as an argument, and if not provided the command tries to find a
viable perf.tar file for unpacking.

# 624dda10 12-Dec-2023 Veronika Molnarova <vmolnaro@redhat.com>

perf archive: Add new option '--all' to pack perf.data with DSOs

'perf archive' has limited functionality and people from Red Hat Global
Support Services sent a request for a new feature that would pack
perf.data file together with an archive with debug symbols created by
the command 'perf archive' as customers were being confused and often
would forget to send perf.data file with the debug symbols.

With this patch 'perf archive' now accepts an option '--all' that
generates archive 'perf.all-hostname-date-time.tar.bz2' that holds file
'perf.data' and a sub-tar 'perf.symbols.tar.bz2' with debug symbols. The
functionality of the command 'perf archive' was not changed.

Committer testing:

Run 'perf record' on a Intel 14900K machine, hybrid:

root@number:~# perf record -a sleep 5s
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.006 MB perf.data (15427 samples) ]
root@number:~# perf archive --all
Now please run:

$ tar xvf perf.all-number-20231219-104854.tar.bz2 && tar xvf perf.symbols.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug

wherever you need to run 'perf report' on.

perf archive: Fix filtering of empty build-ids

A non-existent build-id used to be treated as all-zero SHA-1 hash.
Build-ids are now variable width. A non-existent build-id is an empty
string and "perf buildid-list" pads this with spaces. This is true even
when using old perf.data files recorded from older versions of perf;
"perf buildid-list" never reports an all-zero hash anymore.

This fixes "perf-archive" to skip missing build-ids by skipping lines
that start with a padding space rather than with zeroes.

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 archive: Remove -f from the rm command

In Android, rm does not support the -f parameter.

Remove -f from rm and make sure rm does not fail even if the files to be
removed are not found.

perf archive: Correct cutting of symbolic link

If a '$PERF_BUILDID_DIR'(typically $HOME/.debug) is a symbolic link
directory, cutting of the path will fail.

Here is an example where a buildid directory is a symbolic link.

/ # ls -al /root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 26 2012 /root -> opt/home/root
/ # cd ~
/opt/home/root # perf record -a -g sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.322 MB perf.data (~14057 samples) ]
/opt/home/root # perf archive
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
Now please run:

$ tar xvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug

wherever you need to run 'perf report' on.
/opt/home/root # mkdir temp
/opt/home/root # tar xf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ./temp
/opt/home/root # find ./temp -name "*kernel*"
./temp/opt/home/root/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms]

-> If successfully cut off the path, [kernel.kallsyms] is located
in top of the archived file.

This patch enables to cut correctly even if the buildid directory
is a symbolic link.

# 45de34bb 01-Jun-2010 Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>

perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dir

This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the
buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to
$HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the
directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification
in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the
subdir hierarchy.

You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space
limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for
remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles.

This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file. Under the tag
'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have:

$ cat /etc/perfconfig
[buildid]
dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid

All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf
record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands
will it to pull information out.

The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the
$HOME/.perfconfig file.

perf archive: Don't try to collect files without a build-id

To avoid these error:

[root@doppio ~]# perf archive

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
[root@doppio ~]#

More work is needed to support archiving symtabs for binaries
without a build-id, perhaps creating a perf.data UUID + adding
build-ids for the binaries copied into the cache and then have
this perf.data session UUID be a directory with symlinks to the
by now calculated build-id of the files inside it.

Or just do an extra pass and insert the calculated build-ids in
the perf.data header.

perf archive: Add helper script to package files needed to do analysis

It uses 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' to create a tarball with
what is needed to have in the destination machine ~/.debug
hierarchy to properly decode the perf.data file specified.

Here is an example where a perf.data file collected on a x86-64
machine running Fedora 12 is used and then the data is packaged,
transferred and decoded on a PARISC64 machine running Debian
Testing, 32-bit userspace:

Probably the next step is to have 'perf report' notice that there is a
perf.data.tar.bz2 file in the same directory and look if it was already
added to ~/.debug/.
