Save samples with deferred callchains in a separate list and deliver
them after merging the user callchains. If users don't want to merge
they can set tool->merge_deferred_callchains to false to prevent the
behavior.
With previous result, now perf script will show the merged callchains.
$ perf script

The old output can be get using --no-merge-callchain option.
Also perf report can get the user callchain entry at the end.

Add a new callchain record mode option for deferred callchains. For now
it only works with FP (frame-pointer) mode.
And add the missing feature detection logic to clear the flag on old

so document them. Also document existing 'event_filter' bits that were

The NO_AUXTRACE build option was used when the __get_cpuid feature
test failed or if it was provided on the command line. The option no
longer avoids a dependency on a library and so having the option is
just adding complexity to the code base. Remove the option
CONFIG_AUXTRACE from Build files and HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT by assuming
it is always defined.

Perf c2c report currently specified the code address and source:line
information in the cacheline browser, while it is lack of annotation
support like perf report to directly show the disassembly code for
the particular symbol shared that same cacheline. This patches add
a key 'a' binding to the cacheline browser which reuse the annotation
browser to show the disassembly view for easier analysis of cacheline
contentions.

Since recent Android NDK releases use Clang as the default compiler, a

Provide ratio-to-prev term which allows the user to
set the event sample period of two events corresponding
to a desired ratio.
If using on an Intel x86 platform with Auto Counter Reload support, also
set corresponding event's config2 attribute with a bitmask which
counters to reset and which counters to sample if the desired ratio is
met or exceeded.
On other platforms, only the sample period is affected by the
ratio-to-prev term.

There can be a significant gap in memset/memcpy performance depending
on the size of the region being operated on.
With chunk-size=4kb:
$ echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
$ perf bench mem memset -p 4kb -k 4kb -s 4gb -l 10 -f x86-64-stosq
# Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:
# function 'x86-64-stosq' (movsq-based memset() in arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S)
# Copying 4gb bytes ...
13.011655 GB/sec
With chunk-size=1gb:
$ echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
$ perf bench mem memset -p 4kb -k 1gb -s 4gb -l 10 -f x86-64-stosq
# Running 'mem/memset' benchmark:
# function 'x86-64-stosq' (movsq-based memset() in arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S)
# Copying 4gb bytes ...
21.936355 GB/sec
So, allow the user to specify the chunk-size.
The default value is identical to the total size of the region, which
preserves current behaviour.

The function parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups is needed to fix
uncore events like:
```
$ perf stat -e '{data_read,data_write}' ...
```
so that the multiple uncore PMUs have a group each of data_read and
data_write events.
The same function will perform architecture sorting and group fixing,
in particular for Intel topdown/perf-metric events. Grouping multiple
perf metric events together causes perf_event_open to fail as the
group can only support one. This means command lines like:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots,slots' ...
```
fail as the slots events are forced into a group together to try to
satisfy the perf-metric event constraints.
As the user may know better than
parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups add a 'X' modifier to skip
its regrouping behavior. This allows the following to succeed rather
than fail on the second slots event being opened:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots,slots:X' -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
6,834,154,071 cpu_core/slots/ (50.13%)
5,548,629,453 cpu_core/slots/X (49.87%)
1.002634606 seconds time elapsed

Until now, the --code-with-type option is available only on stdio.
But it was an artifical limitation because of an implemention issue.

Support for build IDs in mmap2 perf events has been present since
Linux v5.12:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210219194619.1780437-1-acme@kernel.org/
Build ID mmap events don't avoid the need to inject build IDs for DSO
touched by samples as the build ID cache is populated by perf
record. They can avoid some cases of symbol mis-resolution caused by
the file system changing from when a sample occurred and when the DSO
is sought.
Unlike the --buildid-mmap option, this chnage doesn't disable the
build ID cache but it does disable the processing of samples looking
for DSOs to inject build IDs for. To disable the build ID cache the -B
(--no-buildid) option should be used.
Making this option the default was raised on the list in:

On hybrid systems, events like msr/tsc/ will aggregate counts across
all CPUs. Often metrics only want a value like msr/tsc/ for the cores
on which the metric is being computed. Listing each CPU with terms
cpu=0,cpu=1.. is laborious and would need to be encoded for all
variations of a CPU model.
Allow the cpumask from a PMU to be an argument to the cpu term. For
example in the following the cpumask of the cstate_pkg PMU selects the
CPUs to count msr/tsc/ counter upon:
```
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cstate_pkg/cpumask
0
$ perf stat -A -e 'msr/tsc,cpu=cstate_pkg/' -a sleep 0.1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 252,621,253 msr/tsc,cpu=cstate_pkg/
0.101184092 seconds time elapsed
```
As the cpu term is now also allowed to be a string, allow it to encode
a range of CPUs (a list can't be supported as ',' is already a special
token).
The "event qualifiers" section of the `perf list` man page is updated
to detail the additional behavior. The man page formatting is tidied
up in this section, as it was incorrectly appearing within the
"parameterized events" section.

This change adds support for new funcgraph tracer options funcgraph-args,
funcgraph-retval, funcgraph-retval-hex and funcgraph-retaddr.
The new added options are:
- args : Show function arguments.
- retval : Show function return value.
- retval-hex : Show function return value in hexadecimal format.
- retaddr : Show function return address.

In addition to the function latency, it can measure events latencies.
Some kernel tracepoints are paired and it's menningful to measure how
long it takes between the two events. The latency is tracked for the
same thread.
Currently it only uses BPF to do the work but it can be lifted later.
Instead of having separate a BPF program for each tracepoint, it only
uses generic 'event_begin' and 'event_end' programs to attach to any
(raw) tracepoints.
$ sudo perf ftrace latency -a -b --hide-empty \
-e i915_request_wait_begin,i915_request_wait_end -- sleep 1

This creates a config option that detects libbpf's ability to display
character arrays as strings, which was just added to the BPF tree
(https://git.kernel.org/bpf/bpf-next/c/87c9c79a02b4).
To test this change, I built perf (from later in this patch set) with:
- static libbpf (default, using source from kernel tree)
- dynamic libbpf (LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 LIBBPF_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include)
For both the static and dynamic versions, I used headers with and without
the ".emit_strings" option.
I verified that of the four resulting binaries, the two with
".emit_strings" would successfully record BPF_METADATA events, and the two
without wouldn't. All four binaries would successfully display
BPF_METADATA events, because the relevant bit of libbpf code is only used
during "perf record".

Limit the max delay to 10ms and update the document about it.

Since there is no way to align compressed data in zstd compression, this
patch add a new event type `PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED2`, which adds a field
`data_size` to specify the actual compressed data size.
The `header.size` contains the total record size, including the padding
at the end to make it 8-byte aligned.

Sometimes we need to analyze the data in process level but current sort
keys only work on thread level. Let's add 'tgid' sort key for that as
'pid' is already taken for thread.
This will look mostly the same, but it only uses tgid instead of tid.
Here's an example of a process with two threads (thloop).
$ perf record -- perf test -w thloop
$ perf report --stdio -s tgid,pid -H

The -C option allows the CPUs for a list of events to be specified but
its not possible to set the CPU for a single event. Add a term to
allow this. The term isn't a general CPU list due to ',' already being
a special character in event parsing instead multiple cpu= terms may
be provided and they will be merged/unioned together.
An example of mixing different types of events counted on different CPUs:
```
