This new benchmark finds the total time that is taken to open, mmap,
enable, disable, munmap, close an evlist (time taken for new,
create_maps, config, delete is not counted in).
The evlist can be configured as in perf-record using the
-a,-C,-e,-u,--per-thread,-t,-p options.
The events can be duplicated in the evlist to quickly test performance
with many events using the -n options.
Furthermore, also the number of iterations used to calculate the
statistics is customizable.
Examples:
- Open one dummy event system-wide:
$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close
Number of cpus: 4
Number of threads: 1
Number of events: 1 (4 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 613.870 usec (+- 32.852 usec)
- Open the group '{cs,cycles}' on CPU 0
$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e '{cs,cycles}' -C 0
Number of cpus: 1
Number of threads: 1
Number of events: 2 (2 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 8503.220 usec (+- 252.652 usec)
- Open 10 'cycles' events for user 0, calculate average over 100 runs
$ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e cycles -n 10 -u 0 -i 100
Number of cpus: 4
Number of threads: 328
Number of events: 10 (13120 fds)
Number of iterations: 100
Average open-close took: 180043.140 usec (+- 2295.889 usec)
Committer notes:
Replaced a deprecated bzero() call with designated initialized zeroing.
Added some missing evlist allocation checks, one noted by Riccardo on
the mailing list.
Minor cosmetic changes (sent in private).

This extends the program to measure WAIT_REQUEUE_PI+CMP_REQUEUE_PI
pairs, which are the underlying machinery behind priority-inheritance
aware condition variables. The defaults are the same as with the regular
non-pi version, requeueing one task at a time, with the exception that
PI will always wakeup the first waiter.

This adds, across all futex benchmarks, the -m/--mlockall option
which is a common operation for realtime workloads by not incurring
in page faults in paths that want determinism. As such, threads
started after a call to mlockall(2) will generate page faults
immediately since the new stack is immediately forced to memory,
due to the MCL_FUTURE flag.

When the input is a regular file but the output is a pipe, it should
write a pipe header. But just repiping would write a portion of the
existing header which is different in 'size' value. So we need to
prevent it and write a new pipe header along with other information
like event attributes and features.
This can handle something like this:
# perf record -a -B sleep 1
# perf inject -b -i perf.data | perf report -i -
Factor out perf_event__synthesize_for_pipe() to be shared between perf
record and inject.

Sometimes it needs to save the perf inject data to a file for debugging.
But normally it assumes the same format for input and output, so the end
result cannot be used due to a broken format.
# perf record -a -o - sleep 1 | perf inject -b -o my.data
# perf report -i my.data --stdio
0x208 [0]: failed to process type: 0 [Invalid argument]
Error:
failed to process sample
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
In this case, it thought the data has a regular file header since the
output is not a pipe. But actually it doesn't have one and has a pipe
file header. At the end of the session, it tries to rewrite the regular
file header with updated features and it overwrites the data just
follows the pipe header.
Fix it by checking either the input and the output is a pipe.

https://github.com/beaker-project/restraint/issues/215 describes a file
descriptor leak which revealed the test failure described here.
The 'DSO data reopen' perf test assumes that RLIMIT_NOFILE limits the
number of open file descriptors, but it actually limits newly opened
file descriptors. When the file descriptor limit is reduced, file
descriptors already open remain open regardless of the new limit. This
test failure does not occur if open file descriptors are contiguous,
beginning at zero.
The following command triggers this perf test failure.
perf test 'DSO data reopen' 3>/dev/null 8>/dev/null
This patch determines the file descriptor limit by opening four files
and then closing them. The limit is set to the fourth file descriptor,
leaving only the first three available because any newly opened file
descriptor must be less than the limit.

On my aarch64 big endian machine, the perf annotate does not work.
# perf annotate
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] for cycles (253 samples, percent: local period)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] for cycles (1 samples, percent: local period)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] for cycles (47 samples, percent: local period)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
This is because the arch_find() function uses the normalized architecture
name provided by normalize_arch(), and my machine's architecture name
aarch64_be is not normalized to arm64. Like other architectures such as
arm and powerpc, we can fuzzy match the architecture names associated with
aarch64.* and normalize them.
It seems that there is also arm64_be architecture name, which we also
normalize to arm64.

Previously the code would see if, for example,
tools/perf/arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/errno.h exists and if not generate
a "generic" switch statement using the asm-generic/errno.h.
This creates multiple identical "generic" switch statements before the
default generic switch statement for an unknown architecture.
By simplifying the archlist to be only for architectures that are not
"generic" the amount of generated code can be reduced from 14 down to 6
functions.
Remove the special case of x86, instead reverse the architecture names
so that it comes first.
