Backport Velinux k6.6 ibs perf test patches

  1. perf test amd ibs: Add sample period unit test
  2. perf test amd ibs: Fix spelling mistake "Asssuming" -> "Assuming"
  3. perf test amd ibs: avoid using executable heap

Overall summary:

This patch series delivers AMD IBS and AMD Uncore PMU enhancements, including new IBS test coverage, improved event decoding, Zen 6 event updates, memory controller support, topology and IOMMU fixes, documentation updates, and minor cleanup/security improvements (typo fixes and executable heap removal).

commit 35db59fa8ea232f862620551d5c48dac6d079290 upstream.

IBS Fetch and IBS Op PMUs has various constraints on supported sample
periods. Add perf unit tests to test those.

Running it in parallel with other tests causes intermittent failures.
Mark it exclusive to force it to run sequentially. Sample output on a
Zen5 machine:

Committer notes:

Avoid using PAGE_SIZE as that define is also in sys/user.h

Make it a variable not to call sysconf() multiple times.

Also cast func to void * when passing it as the first arg to memcpy to
avoid this with some versions of clang:

  arch/x86/tests/amd-ibs-period.c:81:3: error: no matching function for call to 'memcpy'
                  memcpy(func, insn1, sizeof(insn1));
                  ^~~~~~
  /usr/include/string.h:27:7: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'int (*)(void)' to 'void *' for 1st argument
  void *memcpy (void *__restrict, const void *__restrict, size_t);
        ^
  /usr/include/fortify/string.h:40:27: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'int (*)(void)' to 'void *const' for 1st argument
  _FORTIFY_FN(memcpy) void *memcpy(void * _FORTIFY_POS0 __od,
                            ^
  arch/x86/tests/amd-ibs-period.c:87:3: error: no matching function for call to 'memcpy'

This one, for instance:

  Alpine clang version 19.1.4
  Target: x86_64-alpine-linux-musl
  Thread model: posix
  InstalledDir: /usr/lib/llvm19/bin
  Configuration file: /etc/clang19/x86_64-alpine-linux-musl.cfg
  System configuration file directory: /etc/clang19

[Backport changes]
tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/Build in this tree still uses the perf-y
prefix. It does not have the perf-test-y library split or the shellcheck
block from upstream, so amd-ibs-period.o is added with the local perf-y
prefix.

tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/arch-tests.c in this tree still uses the
DEFINE_SUITE() macro for test registration. The DEFINE_SUITE_EXCLUSIVE()
macro used by upstream is not available in this backport tree, so the
AMD IBS sample period test is registered using DEFINE_SUITE() for
backport compatibility.

commit e34006e7435fdd2c8d15e89d2137a4bf22c16401 upstream.

Making [parts of] the heap executable is dangerous and is blocked by
SELinux on Fedora/RHEL even for an unconfined user. Replace the malloc()
+ mprotect() combo with just mmap(), creating a private anonymous rwx
mapping, which only requires the more commonly allowed "execmem"
permission under SELinux (things like JIT or regex compilation need it
as well). mmap() with MAP_ANONYMOUS will give us a zeroed mapping that
begins on a page boundary, so the result is equivalent to the original
code even without a memset() or the page-alignment dance.

Verified that the test still passes on a machine with an AMD CPU that
has the "ibs" CPU flag.

[Backport changes]
Upstream removes a calloc() call introduced by fbfb858552fb ("perf tools:
Use calloc() where applicable"), which is not in this tree. The line
removed here is the existing zalloc() call. The mmap() replacement is
identical to upstream.
