The ins_lat of PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT stands for the instruction
latency, which is only available for X86. Add a X86 specific test for
the ins_lat and PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT type.

The test__x86_sample_parsing() uses the same way as the
test__sample_parsing() to verify a sample type. Since the ins_lat and
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT are the only X86 specific sample type for now,
the test__x86_sample_parsing() only verify the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT
type. Other sample types are still verified in the generic test.

  $ perf test 77 -v
  77: x86 Sample parsing                                              :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 102370
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  x86 Sample parsing: Ok

<title>perf tests tsc: Make tsc testing as a common testing</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=3989bbf9607d6716900d9df91c46a2ce8a504b93'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3989bbf9607d6716900d9df91c46a2ce8a504b93</id>
<content type='text'>
x86 arch provides the testing for conversion between tsc and perf time,
the testing is located in x86 arch folder.  Move this testing out from
x86 arch folder and place it into the common testing folder, so allows
to execute tsc testing on other architectures (e.g. Arm64).

This patch removes the inclusion of "arch-tests.h" from the testing
code, this can avoid building failure if any arch has no this header
file.

Committer testing:

  $ perf test -v tsc
  Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
  70: Convert perf time to TSC                                        :
  --- start ---

Add Intel PT packet decoder test. This test feeds byte sequences to the
Intel PT packet decoder and checks the results. Changes to the packet
context are also checked.

XMM registers can be collected on Icelake and later platforms.

Add specific arch__intr_reg_mask(), which creating an event to check if
the kernel and hardware can collect XMM registers.

Test on Skylake which doesn't support XMM registers collection. There is
nothing changed.

Committer notes:

Don't set attr.sample_period as a named struct init, as it is part of an
unnamed union in 'struct perf_event_attr', and doing so breaks the build
on older gcc versions, such as:

  gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55)
  gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC)

  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c: In function 'arch__intr_reg_mask':
  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: error: unknown field 'sample_period' specified in initializer
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: missing braces around initializer
  arch/x86/util/perf_regs.c:279: warning: (near initialization for 'attr.&lt;anonymous&gt;')

<title>perf tools x86: Add support for recording and printing XMM registers</title>

<content type='text'>
Icelake and later platforms support collecting XMM registers with PEBS
event.

Add support for 'perf script' to dump them, and support for the register
parser in 'perf record -I=' ... to configure them.

For now they are just printed in hex, we could potentially later add
other formats too.

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf record -IXMM0
  Warning:
  unknown register XMM0, check man page or run 'perf record -I?'

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

  #
  # perf record -I?
  available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]
  #

After:

  # perf record -IXMM0
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

  #
  # perf record -I?
  available registers: AX BX CX DX SI DI BP SP IP FLAGS CS SS R8 R9 R10 R11 R12 R13 R14 R15 XMM0 XMM1 XMM2 XMM3 XMM4 XMM5 XMM6 XMM7 XMM8 XMM9 XMM10 XMM11 XMM12 XMM13 XMM14 XMM15

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -I, --intr-regs[=&lt;any register&gt;]
                            sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use -I ? to list register names
  #

More work is needed to, when faced with such error, warn the user that
that register is not available on the running platform.

<title>perf tests: Add breakpoint modify tests</title>

Adding to tests that aims on kernel breakpoint modification bugs.

First test creates HW breakpoint, tries to change it and checks it was
properly changed. It aims on kernel issue that prevents HW breakpoint to
be changed via ptrace interface.

The first test forks, the child sets itself as ptrace tracee and waits
in signal for parent to trace it, then it calls bp_1 and quits.

The parent does following steps:

 - creates a new breakpoint (id 0) for bp_2 function
 - changes that breakpoint to bp_1 function
 - waits for the breakpoint to hit and checks
   it has proper rip of bp_1 function

This test aims on an issue in kernel preventing to change disabled
breakpoints

Second test mimics the first one except for few steps
in the parent:
 - creates a new breakpoint (id 0) for bp_1 function
 - changes that breakpoint to bogus (-1) address
 - waits for the breakpoint to hit and checks
   it has proper rip of bp_1 function

This test aims on an issue in kernel disabling enabled
breakpoint after unsuccesful change.
