Support using LLVM as a disassembler method, allowing helperless
annotation in non-distro builds. (It is also much faster than
using libbfd or bfd objdump on binaries with a lot of debug
information.)
This is nearly identical to the output of llvm-objdump; there are
some very rare whitespace differences, some minor changes to demangling
(since we use perf's regular demangling and not LLVM's own) and
the occasional case where llvm-objdump makes a different choice
when multiple symbols share the same address.
It should work across all of LLVM's supported architectures, although
I've only tested 64-bit x86, and finding the right triple from perf's
idea of machine architecture can sometimes be a bit tricky. Ideally, we
should have some way of finding the triplet just from the file itself.

So far we're just trying to avoid this by not having both headers

This is only being hit when building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1, i.e.
building with binutils-devel, that isn't the in the default build due to
a licencing clash. We need to reimplement what is now isolated in
util/disasm_bpf.c using some other library to have BPF annotation
feature that now only is available with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.

Now perf uses the capstone library to disassemble the instructions in
x86. capstone is used (if available) for perf annotate to speed up.
Currently it only supports x86 architecture.
This patch includes changes to enable this in powerpc.
For now, only for data type sort keys, this method is used and only
binary code (raw instruction) is read. This is because powerpc approach
to understand instructions and reg fields uses raw instruction.
The "cs_disasm" is currently not enabled. While attempting to do
cs_disasm, observation is that some of the instructions were not
identified (ex: extswsli, maddld) and it had to fallback to use objdump.
Hence enabling "cs_disasm" is added in comment section as a TODO for
powerpc.

Add instruction tracking function "update_insn_state_powerpc" for
powerpc. Example sequence in powerpc:
ld r10,264(r3)
mr r31,r3
<<after some sequence>
ld r9,312(r31)
Consider ithe sample is pointing to: "ld r9,312(r31)".
Here the memory reference is hit at "312(r31)" where 312 is the offset
and r31 is the source register.
Previous instruction sequence shows that register state of r3 is moved
to r31.
So to identify the data type for r31 access, the previous instruction
("mr") needs to be tracked and the state type entry has to be updated.
Current instruction tracking support in perf tools infrastructure is
specific to x86. Patch adds this support for powerpc as well.

Data-type profiling has the concept of instruction tracking.
Example sequence in powerpc:
ld r10,264(r3)
mr r31,r3
<<after some sequence>
ld r9,312(r31)
or differently
lwz r10,264(r3)
add r31, r3, RB
lwz r9, 0(r31)
If a sample is hit at "lwz r9, 0(r31)", data type of r31 depends
on previous instruction sequence here. So to track the previous
instructions, patch adds changes to identify some of the arithmetic
instructions which are having opcode as 31.
Since memory instructions also has cases with opcode 31, use the bits
22:30 to filter the arithmetic instructions here.
Also there are instructions with just two operands like "addme", "addze".
This patch adds new instructions ops "arithmetic_ops" to handle this

There are memory instructions in powerpc with opcode as 31.
Example: "ldx RT,RA,RB" , Its X form is as below:
______________________________________
| 31 | RT | RA | RB | 21 |/|
--------------------------------------
0 6 11 16 21 30 31
The opcode for "ldx" is 31. There are other instructions also with
opcode 31 which are memory insn like ldux, stbx, lwzx, lhaux
But all instructions with opcode 31 are not memory. Example is add
instruction: "add RT,RA,RB"
The value in bit 21-30 [ 21 for ldx ] is different for these
instructions. Patch uses this value to assign instruction ops for these
cases. The naming convention and value to identify these are picked from
defines in "arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc-opcode.h"

Use the raw instruction code and macros to identify memory instructions,
extract register fields and also offset.
The implementation addresses the D-form, X-form, DS-form instructions.
Two main functions are added.
New parse function "load_store__parse" as instruction ops parser for
memory instructions.
Unlike other parsers (like mov__parse), this one fills in the
"multi_regs" field for source/target and new added "mem_ref" field. No
other fields are set because, here there is no need to parse the
disassembled code and arch specific macros will take care of extracting
offset and regs which is easier and will be precise.
In powerpc, all instructions with a primary opcode from 32 to 63
are memory instructions. Update "ins__find" function to have "raw_insn"
also as a parameter.

Add support to capture and parse raw instruction in powerpc.
Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses two ways to disassemble
and understand the instruction. One is objdump and other option is
via libcapstone.
Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses "--no-show-raw-insn" option
with "objdump" while disassemble. Example from powerpc with this option
for an instruction address is:
Snippet from:
objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux>
c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9)
This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name,
registers names and offset. Also to find whether there is a memory
reference in the operands, "memory_ref_char" field of objdump is used.
For x86, "(" is used as memory_ref_char to tackle instructions of the
form "mov (%rax), %rcx".
In case of powerpc, not all instructions using "(" are the only memory
instructions. Example, above instruction can also be of extended form (X
form) "lwzx r10,0,r19". Inorder to easy identify the instruction category
and extract the source/target registers, patch adds support to use raw
instruction for powerpc. Approach used is to read the raw instruction
directly from the DSO file using "dso__data_read_offset" utility which
is already implemented in perf infrastructure in "util/dso.c".
Example:
38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)
Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. In powerpc,
this translates to instruction form: "ld RT,DS(RA)" and binary code
as:
| 58 | RT | RA | DS | |
-------------------------------------
0 6 11 16 30 31
Function "symbol__disassemble_dso" is updated to read raw instruction
directly from DSO using dso__data_read_offset utility. In case of
above example, this captures:
line: 38 01 81 e8
The above works well when 'perf report' is invoked with only sort keys
for data type ie type and typeoff.
Because there is no instruction level annotation needed if only data
type information is requested for.
For annotating sample, along with type and typeoff sort key, "sym" sort
key is also needed. And by default invoking just "perf report" uses sort
key "sym" that displays the symbol information.
With approach changes in powerpc which first reads DSO for raw
instruction, "perf annotate" and "perf report" + a key breaks since
it doesn't do the instruction level disassembly.
Snippet of result from 'perf report':
Samples: 1K of event 'mem-loads', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 937238
do_work /usr/bin/pmlogger [Percent: local period]
Percent│ ea230010

│ 39490008
│ 42400438
51.44 │ 81290008
│ 7d485378
Here, raw instruction is displayed in the output instead of human
readable annotated form.
One way to get the appropriate data is to specify "--objdump path", by
which code annotation will be done. But the default behaviour will be
changed. To fix this breakage, check if "sym" sort key is set. If so
fallback and use the libcapstone/objdump way of disassmbling the sample.

Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses the disasm_line__parse
function to parse disassembled line.
Example snippet from objdump:
objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux>
c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9)
This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name,
registers names and offset.
In powerpc, the approach for data type profiling uses raw instruction
instead of result from objdump to identify the instruction category and
extract the source/target registers.
Example: 38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)
Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. Add function
"disasm_line__parse_powerpc" to handle parsing of raw instruction.
Also update "struct disasm_line" to save the binary code/
With the change, function captures:
line -> "38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)"
raw instruction "38 01 81 e8"
Raw instruction is used later to extract the reg/offset fields. Macros
are added to extract opcode and register fields. "struct disasm_line"
is updated to carry union of "bytes" and "raw_insn" of 32 bit to carry raw
code (raw).
Function "disasm_line__parse_powerpc fills the raw instruction hex value
and can use macros to get opcode. There is no changes in existing code
paths, which parses the disassembled code. The size of raw instruction
depends on architecture.
In case of powerpc, the parsing the disasm line needs to handle cases
for reading binary code directly from DSO as well as parsing the objdump
result. Hence adding the logic into separate function instead of
updating "disasm_line__parse". The architecture using the instruction
name and present approach is not altered. Since this approach targets
powerpc, the macro implementation is added for powerpc as of now.
Since the disasm_line__parse is used in other cases (perf annotate) and
not only data tye profiling, the powerpc callback includes changes to
work with binary code as well as mnemonic representation.
Also in case if the DSO read fails and libcapstone is not supported, the
approach fallback to use objdump as option. Hence as option, patch has
changes to ensure objdump option also works well.

Add "update_insn_state" callback to "struct arch" to handle instruction
tracking. Currently updating instruction state is handled by static
function "update_insn_state_x86" which is defined in "annotate-data.c".
Make this as a callback for specific arch and move to archs specific
file "arch/x86/annotate/instructions.c" . This will help to add helper
function for other platforms in file:
"arch/<platform>/annotate/instructions.c" and make changes/updates
easier.
Define callback "update_insn_state" as part of "struct arch", also make
some of the debug functions non-static so that it can be referenced from
other places.

Add reference count checking to struct dso, this can help with
implementing correct reference counting discipline. To avoid
RC_CHK_ACCESS everywhere, add accessor functions for the variables in
struct dso.
The majority of the change is mechanical in nature and not easy to
split up.
Committer testing:
'perf test' up to this patch shows no regressions.

dso__disassemble_filename() tries to get the filename for objdump (or
capstone) using build-id. But I found sometimes it didn't disassemble
some functions.
It turned out that those functions belong to a DSO which has no binary
type set. It seems it sets the binary type for some special files only
- like kernel (kallsyms or kcore) or BPF images. And there's a logic to
skip dso with DSO_BINARY_TYPE__NOT_FOUND.
As it's checked the build-id cache link, it should set the binary type
as DSO_BINARY_TYPE__BUILD_ID_CACHE.

I found some cases that capstone failed to disassemble. Probably my
capstone is an old version but anyway there's a chance it can fail. And
then it silently stopped in the middle. In my case, it didn't
understand "RDPKRU" instruction.
Let's check if the capstone disassemble reached the end of the function
and fallback to objdump if not.

Now it can use the capstone library to disassemble the instructions.
Let's use that (if available) for perf annotate to speed up. Currently
it only supports x86 architecture. With this change I can see ~3x speed
up in data type profiling.
But note that capstone cannot give the source file and line number info.
For now, users should use the external objdump for that by specifying
the --objdump option explicitly.

The util/annotate.c code has both disassembly and sample annotation
related codes. Factor out the disasm part so that it can be handled
more easily.
No functional changes intended.
Committer notes:
Add missing include env.h, util.h, bpf-event.h and bpf-util.h to
disasm.c, to fix things like:
util/disasm.c: In function ‘symbol__disassemble_bpf’:
