This patch seris adds support for sample flags so can facilitate perf to print sample flags for branch instruction.
Patch 0001 is used to save last branch information in packet structure, this includes instruction type, subtype and condition flag to help making decision for which branch instruction it is. It passes related information from decoder layer to cs-etm.c, so we use cs-etm.c as a central place to set sample flags.
Patch 0002 is used to set sample flags for instruction range packet.
Patch 0003 is used to set sample flags for trace discontinuity packet.
Patches 0004/0005/0006 are preparation for exception packet handling: Patch 0004 addes exception number in packet; pacth 0005/0006 is to use traceID/metadata tuple to access metadata pointer based on traceID, this can help decide if the CPU is connected with ETMv3 or ETMv4, ETMv3 and ETMv4 have totally different definition for exception numbers.
Patch 0007 sets sample flags for exception packet; patch 0008 support sample flags for exception return packet.
As Mathieu pointed out, one most difficult thing is to handle nest interrupt and trace discontinuity for exception return packet; if we use one data structure to maintain the interrupt context and also track the nest interrupts, this will be complex. So in patch 0008 we simply to check if there have one SVC instruction prior to the return address, by this way we can simply get rid of the dependency between the exception packet and exception return packet for setting sample flags, thus this can let us to set sample flags for exception return packet only based on the sequential instruction range packet.
This patch series is applied on the acme's perf core branch [1] with the with latest commit ee412f14693a ("tools include uapi: Sync linux/vhost.h with the kernel sources").
After applying this patch series, we can verify sample flags with below command:
# perf script -F,-time,+flags,+ip,+sym,+dso,+addr,+symoff -k vmlinux
Changes from v4: * Fixed typos in comments, and removed redundant info from commit log; * Addressed Mathieu's suggestion to add helper functions for metadata fields (CS_ETM_CPU and CS_ETM_MAGIC) accessing; * Addressed Mathieu's suggestion to include headers with alphabetical order.
Changes from v3: * Fixed typos in commit logs; * Rearranged fields in cs_etm_packet by grouping with same variable types; * Fixed ETMv4 exception number which pointed by Mike; * Fixed ETMv4 SVC / SMC / HVC in the same CALL, by checking svc instruction to distinguish them; * Refine ETMv4 return exception packet handling.
Changes from v2: * Addressed Mathieu's suggestion to split one big patch to 3 small patches for setting sample flags, one is for instruction range packet, one is for discontinuity packet and one is for exception packet. * Added supporting for ETMv3 exception packet. * Followed Mathieu's suggestion to move all sample flags handling from decoder layer to cs-etm.c, thus it has enough info to set flags based on trace context in single place.
Changes from v1: * Moved exception packets handling patches into patch series 'perf cs-etm: Correct packets handling'. * Added sample flags fixing up for TRACE_OFF packet. * Created a new function which is used to maintain flags fixing up.

Decoder provides last instruction related information, these information can be used for trace analysis; specifically we can get to know what kind of branch instruction has been executed, mainly the information are contained in three element fields:
last_i_type: this is significant type for waypoint calculation, it indicates the last instruction is one of immediate branch instruction, indirect branch instruction, instruction barrier (ISB), or data barrier (DSB/DMB).
last_i_subtype: this is used for instruction sub type, it can be branch with link, ARMv8 return instruction, ARMv8 eret instruction (return from exception), or ARMv7 instruction which could imply return (e.g. MOV PC, LR; POP { ,PC}).
last_instr_cond: it indicates if the last instruction was conditional.
But these three fields are not saved into cs_etm_packet struct, thus cs-etm layer don't know related information and cannot generate sample flags for branch instructions.
This patch add corresponding three new fields in cs_etm_packet struct and save related value into the packet structure, it is preparation for supporting sample flags.

The perf sample data contains flags to indicate the hardware trace data is belonging to which type branch instruction, thus this can be used to print out the human readable string. Arm CoreSight ETM sample data is missed to set flags and it is always set to zeros, this results in perf tool skips to print string for instruction types.
This patch is to set branch instruction flags for instruction range packet.

In the middle of trace stream, it might be interrupted thus the trace data is not continuous, the trace stream firstly is ended for previous trace block and restarted for next block.
To display related information for showing trace is restarted, this patch set sample flags for trace discontinuity:
- If one discontinuity packet is coming, append flag PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_END to the previous packet to indicate the trace has been ended; - If one instruction packet is following discontinuity packet, this instruction packet is the first one packet to restarting trace. So set flag PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_START to discontinuity packet, this flag will be used to generate sample when connect with the sequential instruction packet.

When an exception packet comes, it contains the information for exception number; the exception number indicates the exception types, so from it we can know if the exception is taken for interrupt, system call or other traps, etc.
This patch simply adds a field in cs_etm_packet struct, it records exception number for exception packet that will then be used to properly identify exception types to the perf synthesize mechanic.

If packet processing wants to know the packet is bound with which ETM version, it needs to access metadata to decide that based on metadata magic number; but we cannot simply to use CPU logic ID number as index to access metadata sequential array, especially when system have hotplugged off CPUs, the metadata array are only allocated for online CPUs but not offline CPUs, so the CPU logic number doesn't match with its index in the array.
For this reason, a reliable way for accessing metadata array is to use traceID to find associated metadata; by accessing metadata content we can know not only the CPU number but also for ETM version, which can be used for sequential change for setting sample flags for exception packets.
This patch is to change tuple from traceID-CPU# to traceID-metadata, thus it can use the tuple to retrieve metadata pointer according to traceID.
For safe accessing metadata fields, this patch provides helper function cs_etm__get_cpu() which is used to return CPU number according to traceID; cs_etm_decoder__buffer_packet() is the first consumer for this helper function.

The exception taken and returning are typical flow for instruction jump but it needs to be handled with exception packets. This patch is to set sample flags for exception packet.
Since the exception packet contains the exception number, according to the exception number this patch makes decision for belonging to which exception types.
The decoder have defined different exception number for ETMv3 and ETMv4 separately, hence this patch needs firstly decide the ETM version by using the metadata magic number, and this patch adds helper function cs_etm__get_magic() for easily getting magic number.
Based on different ETM version, the exception packet contains the exception number, according to the exception number this patch makes decision for the exception belonging to which exception types.
In this patch, it introduces helper function cs_etm__is_svc_instr(); for ETMv4 CS_ETMV4_EXC_CALL covers SVC, SMC and HVC cases in the single exception number, thus need to use cs_etm__is_svc_instr() to decide an exception taken for system call.

I assume the values in these enums match the values produced by the ETM hardware? If so, it would be good to have a comment saying so, possibly with a link to the document, and maybe also assign fixed values to each. This will guard against anyone changing the behaviour by re-ordering / editing these.
- /* RB tree for quick conversion between traceID and metadata pointers */ struct intlist *traceid_list;
Apart from the comment above, looks good to me.

I assume the values in these enums match the values produced by the ETM hardware? If so, it would be good to have a comment saying so, possibly with a link to the document, and maybe also assign fixed values to each. This will guard against anyone changing the behaviour by re-ordering / editing these.
Yes, in "ARM Embedded Trace Macrocell Architecture Specification", section 'Packets associated with exceptions' it defines related numbers. Will add comments for this.
Will change to use fixed values, it looks better to me also.
- /* RB tree for quick conversion between traceID and metadata pointers */ struct intlist *traceid_list;
Apart from the comment above, looks good to me.

Thanks a lot for reviewing.
When return from exception, we need to distinguish if it's system call return or for other type exceptions for setting sample flags. Due to the exception return packet doesn't contain exception number, so we cannot decide sample flags based on exception number.
On the other hand, the exception return packet is followed by an instruction range packet; this range packet deliveries the start address after exception handling, we can check if it is a SVC instruction just before the start address. If there has one SVC instruction is found ahead the return address, this means it's an exception return for system call; otherwise it is an normal return for other exceptions.
This patch is to set sample flags for exception return packet, firstly it simply set sample flags as PERF_IP_FLAG_INTERRUPT for all exception returns since at this point it doesn't know what's exactly the exception type. We will defer to decide if it's an exception return for system call when the next instruction range packet comes, it checks if there has one SVC instruction prior to the start address and if so we will change sample flags to PERF_IP_FLAG_SYSCALLRET for system call return.
