Linus Torvalds b30d7a77c5 perf tools changes and fixes for v6.5: 1st batch
Internal cleanup:
 
  - Refactor PMU data management to handle hybrid systems in a generic way.
    Do more work in the lexer so that legacy event types parse more easily.
    A side-effect of this is that if a PMU is specified, scanning sysfs is
    avoided improving start-up time.
 
  - Fix hybrid metrics, for example, the TopdownL1 works for both performance
    and efficiency cores on Intel machines.  To support this, sort and regroup
    events after parsing.
 
  - Add reference count checking for the 'thread' data structure.
 
  - Lots of fixes for memory leaks in various places thanks to the ASAN and
    Ian's refcount checker.
 
  - Reduce the binary size by replacing static variables with local or
    dynamically allocated memory.
 
  - Introduce shared_mutex for annotate data to reduce memory footprint.
 
  - Make filesystem access library functions more thread safe.
 
 Test:
 
  - Organize cpu_map tests into a single suite.
 
  - Add metric value validation test to check if the values are within correct
    value ranges.
 
  - Add perf stat stdio output test to check if event and metric names match.
 
  - Add perf data converter JSON output test.
 
  - Fix a lot of issues reported by shellcheck(1).  This is a preparation to
    enable shellcheck by default.
 
  - Make the large x86 new instructions test optional at build time using
    EXTRA_TESTS=1.
 
  - Add a test for libpfm4 events.
 
 perf script:
 
  - Add 'dsoff' outpuf field to display offset from the DSO.
 
     $ perf script -F comm,pid,event,ip,dsoff
        ls 2695501 cycles:      152cc73ef4b5 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.31.so+0x1c4b5)

        ls 2695501 cycles:  ffffffff992a6db0 ([kernel.kallsyms])
 
  - Adjust width for large PID/TID values.
 
 perf report:
 
  - Robustify reading addr2line output for srcline by checking sentinel output
    before the actual data and by using timeout of 1 second.
 
  - Allow config terms (like 'name=ABC') with breakpoint events.
 
     $ perf record -e mem:0x55feb98dd169:x/name=breakpoint/ -p 19646 -- sleep 1
 
 perf annotate:
 
  - Handle x86 instruction suffix like 'l' in 'movl' generally.
 
  - Parse instruction operands properly even with a whitespace.  This is needed
    for llvm-objdump output.
 
  - Support RISC-V binutils lookup using the triplet prefixes.
 
  - Add '<' and '>' key to navigate to prev/next symbols in TUI.
 
  - Fix instruction association and parsing for LoongArch.
 
 perf stat:
 
  - Add --per-cache aggregation option, optionally specify a cache level
    like `--per-cache=L2`.
 
     $ sudo perf stat --per-cache -a -e ls_dmnd_fills_from_sys.ext_cache_remote --\
