perfmon: topdown level 1 and 2 for icx
Topdown level 1 and 2 for Intel Ice Lake (ICX). Limiting topdown support to THREAD for the moment on Ice Lake, as NODE support is still unreliable. Also removing Topdown Level 1 from Sapphire Rapids onwards, as Topdown LeveL 2 also shows Level 1 on Sapphire, and it reduces the overall number of bundles.

class DaemonContext:
    """ Context for turning the current program into a daemon process.

        A `DaemonContext` instance represents the behaviour settings and
        process context for the program when it becomes a daemon. The
        behaviour and environment is customised by setting options on the
        instance, before calling the `open` method.

        Each option can be passed as a keyword argument to the `DaemonContext`
        constructor, or subsequently altered by assigning to an attribute on
        the instance at any time prior to calling `open`. That is, for
        options named `wibble` and `wubble`, the following invocation::

            foo = daemon.DaemonContext(wibble=bar, wubble=baz)
            foo.open()

        is equivalent to::

            foo = daemon.DaemonContext()
            foo.wibble = bar
            foo.wubble = baz
            foo.open()

        The following options are defined.

        `files_preserve`
            :Default: ``None``

            List of files that should *not* be closed when starting the
            daemon. If ``None``, all open file descriptors will be closed.

            Elements of the list are file descriptors (as returned by a file
            object's `fileno()` method) or Python `file` objects. Each
            specifies a file that is not to be closed during daemon start.

        `chroot_directory`
            :Default: ``None``

            Full path to a directory to set as the effective root directory of
            the process. If ``None``, specifies that the root directory is not
            to be changed.

        `working_directory`
            :Default: ``'/'``

            Full path of the working directory to which the process should
            change on daemon start.

            Since a filesystem cannot be unmounted if a process has its
            current working directory on that filesystem, this should either
            be left at default or set to a directory that is a sensible “home
            directory” for the daemon while it is running.

        `umask`
            :Default: ``0``

            File access creation mask (“umask”) to set for the process on
            daemon start.

            A daemon should not rely on the parent process's umask value,
            which is beyond its control and may prevent creating a file with
            the required access mode. So when the daemon context opens, the
            umask is set to an explicit known value.

            If the conventional value of 0 is too open, consider setting a
            value such as 0o022, 0o027, 0o077, or another specific value.
            Otherwise, ensure the daemon creates every file with an
            explicit access mode for the purpose.

        `pidfile`
            :Default: ``None``

            Context manager for a PID lock file. When the daemon context opens
            and closes, it enters and exits the `pidfile` context manager.

        `detach_process`
            :Default: ``None``

            If ``True``, detach the process context when opening the daemon
            context; if ``False``, do not detach.

            If unspecified (``None``) during initialisation of the instance,
            this will be set to ``True`` by default, and ``False`` only if
            detaching the process is determined to be redundant; for example,
            in the case when the process was started by `init`, by `initd`, or
            by `inetd`.

        `signal_map`
            :Default: system-dependent

            Mapping from operating system signals to callback actions.

            The mapping is used when the daemon context opens, and determines
            the action for each signal's signal handler:

            * A value of ``None`` will ignore the signal (by setting the
              signal action to ``signal.SIG_IGN``).

            * A string value will be used as the name of an attribute on the
              ``DaemonContext`` instance. The attribute's value will be used
              as the action for the signal handler.

            * Any other value will be used as the action for the
              signal handler. See the ``signal.signal`` documentation
              for details of the signal handler interface.

            The default value depends on which signals are defined on the
            running system. Each item from the list below whose signal is
            actually defined in the ``signal`` module will appear in the
            default map:

            * ``signal.SIGTTIN``: ``None``

            * ``signal.SIGTTOU``: ``None``

            * ``signal.SIGTSTP``: ``None``

            * ``signal.SIGTERM``: ``'terminate'``

            Depending on how the program will interact with its child
            processes, it may need to specify a signal map that
            includes the ``signal.SIGCHLD`` signal (received when a
            child process exits). See the specific operating system's
            documentation for more detail on how to determine what
            circumstances dictate the need for signal handlers.

        `uid`
            :Default: ``os.getuid()``

        `gid`
            :Default: ``os.getgid()``

            The user ID (“UID”) value and group ID (“GID”) value to switch
            the process to on daemon start.

            The default values, the real UID and GID of the process, will
            relinquish any effective privilege elevation inherited by the
            process.

        `prevent_core`
            :Default: ``True``

            If true, prevents the generation of core files, in order to avoid
            leaking sensitive information from daemons run as `root`.

        `stdin`
            :Default: ``None``

        `stdout`
            :Default: ``None``

        `stderr`
            :Default: ``None``

            Each of `stdin`, `stdout`, and `stderr` is a file-like object
            which will be used as the new file for the standard I/O stream
            `sys.stdin`, `sys.stdout`, and `sys.stderr` respectively. The file
            should therefore be open, with a minimum of mode 'r' in the case
            of `stdin`, and mimimum of mode 'w+' in the case of `stdout` and
            `stderr`.

            If the object has a `fileno()` method that returns a file
            descriptor, the corresponding file will be excluded from being
            closed during daemon start (that is, it will be treated as though
            it were listed in `files_preserve`).

            If ``None``, the corresponding system stream is re-bound to the
            file named by `os.devnull`.

            Open the daemon context, turning the current program into a daemon
            process. This performs the following steps:

            * If this instance's `is_open` property is true, return
              immediately. This makes it safe to call `open` multiple times on
              an instance.

            * If the `prevent_core` attribute is true, set the resource limits
              for the process to prevent any core dump from the process.

            * If the `chroot_directory` attribute is not ``None``, set the
              effective root directory of the process to that directory (via
              `os.chroot`).

              This allows running the daemon process inside a “chroot gaol”
              as a means of limiting the system's exposure to rogue behaviour
              by the process. Note that the specified directory needs to
              already be set up for this purpose.

            * Set the process UID and GID to the `uid` and `gid` attribute
              values.

            * Close all open file descriptors. This excludes those listed in
              the `files_preserve` attribute, and those that correspond to the
              `stdin`, `stdout`, or `stderr` attributes.

            * Change current working directory to the path specified by the
              `working_directory` attribute.

            * Reset the file access creation mask to the value specified by
              the `umask` attribute.

            * If the `detach_process` option is true, detach the current
              process into its own process group, and disassociate from any
              controlling terminal.

            * Set signal handlers as specified by the `signal_map` attribute.
