Noticed on several perf tools cross build test containers:

This comes from the kernel, where the -Wattributes and -Wpacked isn't
used, -Wpacked is already disabled, do it for the attributes as well.

<title>tools headers UAPI: Update tools's copy of unistd.h header</title>

tldr; Just FYI, I'm carrying this on the perf tools tree.

Full explanation:

There used to be no copies, with tools/ code using kernel headers
directly. From time to time tools/perf/ broke due to legitimate kernel
hacking. At some point Linus complained about such direct usage. Then we
adopted the current model.

The way these headers are used in perf are not restricted to just
including them to compile something.

There are sometimes used in scripts that convert defines into string
tables, etc, so some change may break one of these scripts, or new MSRs
may use some different #define pattern, etc.

E.g.:

  $ ls -1 tools/perf/trace/beauty/*.sh | head -5
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/arch_errno_names.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/drm_ioctl.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsconfig.sh
  tools/perf/trace/beauty/fsmount.sh
  $
  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/fadvise.sh
  static const char *fadvise_advices[] = {
        [0] = "NORMAL",
        [1] = "RANDOM",
        [2] = "SEQUENTIAL",
        [3] = "WILLNEED",
        [4] = "DONTNEED",
        [5] = "NOREUSE",
  };
  $

The tools/perf/check-headers.sh script, part of the tools/ build
process, points out changes in the original files.

So its important not to touch the copies in tools/ when doing changes in
the original kernel headers, that will be done later, when
check-headers.sh inform about the change to the perf tools hackers.

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
 "Build:

   - Compile BPF programs by default if clang (&gt;= 12.0.1) is available
     to enable more features like kernel lock contention, off-cpu
     profiling, kwork, sample filtering and so on.

     This can be disabled by passing BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 to make.

   - Produce better error messages for bison on debug build (make
     DEBUG=1) by defining YYDEBUG symbol internally.

  perf record:

   - Track sideband events (like FORK/MMAP) from all CPUs even if perf
     record targets a subset of CPUs only (using -C option). Otherwise
     it may lose some information happened on a CPU out of the target
     list.

   - Fix checking raw sched_switch tracepoint argument using system BTF.
     This affects off-cpu profiling which attaches a BPF program to the
     raw tracepoint.

  perf lock contention:

   - Add --lock-cgroup option to see contention by cgroups. This should
     be used with BPF only (using -b option).

       $ sudo perf lock con -ab --lock-cgroup -- sleep 1
        contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait   cgroup

              835     14.06 ms     41.19 us     16.83 us   /system.slice/led.service
               25    122.38 us     13.77 us      4.89 us   /
               44     23.73 us      3.87 us       539 ns   /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope
                1       491 ns       491 ns       491 ns   /system.slice/connectd.service

   - Add -G/--cgroup-filter option to see contention only for given
     cgroups.

     This can be useful when you identified a cgroup in the above
     command and want to investigate more on it. It also works with
     other output options like -t/--threads and -l/--lock-addr.

       $ sudo perf lock con -ab -G /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope -- sleep 1
        contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

                8     77.11 us     17.98 us      9.64 us     spinlock   futex_wake+0xc8
                2     24.56 us     14.66 us     12.28 us     spinlock   tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
                1      4.97 us      4.97 us      4.97 us     spinlock   futex_q_lock+0x2a

   - Use per-cpu array for better spinlock tracking. This is to improve
     performance of the BPF program and to avoid nested contention on a
     lock in the BPF hash map.

   - Update callstack check for PowerPC. To find a representative caller
     of a lock, it needs to look up the call stacks. It ends the lookup
     when it sees 0 in the call stack buffer. However, PowerPC call
     stacks can have 0 values in the beginning so skip them when it
     expects valid call stacks after.

  perf kwork:

   - Support 'sched' class (for -k option) so that it can see task
     scheduling event (using sched_switch tracepoint) as well as irq and
     workqueue items.

   - Add perf kwork top subcommand to show more accurate cpu utilization
     with sched class above. It works both with a recorded data (using
     perf kwork record command) and BPF (using -b option). Unlike perf
     top command, it does not support interactive mode (yet).

       $ sudo perf kwork top -b -k sched
       Starting trace, Hit &lt;Ctrl+C&gt; to stop and report

  perf bench:

   - Add -G/--cgroups option to perf bench sched pipe. The pipe bench is
     good to measure context switch overhead. With this option, it puts
     the reader and writer tasks in separate cgroups to enforce context
     switch between two different cgroups.

     Also it needs to set CPU affinity of the tasks in a CPU to
     accurately measure the impact of cgroup context switches.

       $ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
       &gt; taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000
       # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
       # Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

            Total time: 0.307 [sec]

              3.078180 usecs/op
                324867 ops/sec

        Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000':

                  200,026      context-switches
                       63      cgroup-switches

              0.321637922 seconds time elapsed

     You can see small number of cgroup-switches because both write and
     read tasks are in the same cgroup.

       $ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/{AAA,BBB}

       $ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
       &gt; taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB
       # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
       # Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

            Total time: 0.351 [sec]

              3.512990 usecs/op
                284657 ops/sec

        Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB':

                  200,020      context-switches
                  200,019      cgroup-switches

              0.365034567 seconds time elapsed

     Now context-switches and cgroup-switches are almost same. And you
     can see the pipe operation took little more.

   - Kill child processes when perf bench sched messaging exited
     abnormally. Otherwise it'd leave the child doing unnecessary work.

  perf test:

   - Fix various shellcheck issues on the tests written in shell script.

   - Skip tests when condition is not satisfied:
      - object code reading test for non-text section addresses.
      - CoreSight test if cs_etm// event is not available.
      - lock contention test if not enough CPUs.

  Event parsing:

   - Make PMU alias name loading lazy to reduce the startup time in the
     event parsing code for perf record, stat and others in the general
     case.

   - Lazily compute PMU default config. In the same sense, delay PMU
     initialization until it's really needed to reduce the startup cost.

   - Fix event term values that are raw events. The event specification
     can have several terms including event name. But sometimes it
     clashes with raw event encoding which starts with 'r' and has
     hex-digits.

     For example, an event named 'read' should be processed as a normal
     event but it was mis-treated as a raw encoding and caused a
     failure.

       $ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
       event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/'
                                         \___ parser error
       Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

        Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

           -e, --event &lt;event&gt; event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

  Event metrics:

   - Add "Compat" regex to match event with multiple identifiers.

   - Usual updates for Intel, Power10, Arm telemetry/CMN and AmpereOne.

  Misc:

   - Assorted memory leak fixes and footprint reduction.

   - Add "bpf_skeletons" to perf version --build-options so that users
     can check whether their perf tools have BPF support easily.

   - Fix unaligned access in Intel-PT packet decoder found by
     undefined-behavior sanitizer.

   - Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event. Surprisingly it'd impact
     kernel timer tick handler performance by force iterating all PMU
     events.

   - Update bash shell completion for events and metrics"

 "As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
  and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.

  The lengthier patch series are

   - 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
     in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
     consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling

   - After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
     min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
     the use of min_t() and max_t()

   - A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
