e30a3d12dd perf symbols: Kill struct build_id_list and die() another day
No need for this struct and its allocations, we can just use the
->build_id member we already have in struct dso, then ask for it
to be read, and later traverse the dsos list, writing the
buildid table to the perf.data file.

As a bonus, one more die() function got killed.

d3379ab905 perf symbols: Fix comparision of build_ids
When we read the build_id from the DSO name to then index into
/usr/lib/debug/.buildid/DSO_BUILD_ID[0:2]/DSO_BUILD_ID[2:], we
were jumping directly to the comparision with the buildid we
already have in dso->build_id (that came from the perf.data
build_id section, collected at perf record time)
unconditionally, even if we didn't had recorded it, and
furthermore, comparing a formatted buildid with a rawbuildid, yikes.

Fix it by deleting the dso__read_build_id() function, that was
really misdesigned anyway, and do the necessary checks and
correct comparison of raw buildids.

13cc5079f2 perf top: Auto adjust symbol and dso widths
We pre-calculate the symbol name length, then after we sort the
entries to print, calculate the biggest one and use that for the
symbol name width justification, then use the
dso->long_name->len to justificate the DSO name, deciding whether
using the short or long name depending on how much space we have
on the terminal.

IOW give as much info to the user as the terminal width allows.

I found this while running 'perf top' on a machine where hits
happened on PLT symbols, where ->map wasn't being set up and
segfaults thus happened.

7255fe2a42 perf stat: Do not print ratio when task-clock event is not counted
The ratio between the number of events and the time elapsed makes
sense only if task-clock event is counted. Otherwise it will be
simply a (confusing)

This patch outputs the ratio only if task-clock event is counted.
Some test examples of before and after:

Before:

 [lucas@skywalker linux.trees.git]$ sudo perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1

	 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

		1367818  branch-misses            #      0.000 M/sec

	    1.001494325  seconds time elapsed

After (without task-clock):

 [lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1

	 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

		1135044  branch-misses

	    1.001370775  seconds time elapsed

After (with task-clock):

 [lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -e task-clock -a -- sleep 1

	 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

		1070111  branch-misses            #      0.534 M/sec

9e827dd00a perf tools: Bring linear set of section headers for features
Build a set of section headers for features right after the
datas. Each implemented feature will have one of such section
header that provides the offset and the size of the data
manipulated by the feature.

The trace informations have moved after the data and are
recorded on exit time.

The new layout is as follows:

 -----------------------
                             ___
 [ magic               ]      |
 [ header size         ]      |
 [ attr size           ]      |
 [ attr content offset ]      |
 [ attr content size   ]      |
 [ data offset         ]  File Headers
 [ data size           ]      |
 [ event_types offset  ]      |
 [ event_types size    ]      |
 [ feature bitmap      ]      v

 [ attr section        ]
 [ events section      ]

                             ___
 [         X           ]      |
 [         X           ]      |
 [         X           ]    Datas
 [         X           ]      |
 [         X           ]      v

                             ___
 [ Feature 1 offset    ]      |
 [ Feature 1 size      ] Features headers
 [ Feature 2 offset    ]      |
 [ Feature 2 size      ]      v

 [ Feature 1 content   ]
 [ Feature 2 content   ]
 -----------------------

We have as many feature's section headers as we have features in
use for the current file.

Say Feat 1 and Feat 3 are used by the file, but not Feat 2. Then
the feature headers will be like follows:

[ Feature 1 offset    ]      |
[ Feature 1 size      ] Features headers
[ Feature 3 offset    ]      |
[ Feature 3 size      ]      v

There is no hole to cover Feature 2 that is not in use here. We
only need to cover the needed headers in order, from the lowest
feature bit to the highest.

Currently we have two features: HEADER_TRACE_INFO and
HEADER_BUILD_ID. Both have their contents that follow the
feature headers. Putting the contents right after the feature
headers is not mandatory though. While we keep the feature
headers right after the data and in order, their offsets can
point everywhere. We have just put the two above feature
contents in the end of the file for convenience.

The purpose of this layout change is to have a file format that
scales while keeping it simple: having such linear feature
headers is less error prone wrt forward/backward compatibility
as the content of a feature can be put anywhere, its location
can even change by the time, it's fine because its headers will
tell where it is. And we know how to find these headers,
following the above rules.

57f395a7ea perf tools: Split up build id saving into fetch and write
We are saving the build id once we stop the profiling. And only
after doing that we know if we need to set that feature in the
header through the feature bitmap.

But if we want a proper feature support in the headers, using a
rule of offset/size pairs in sections, we need to know in
advance how many features we need to set in the headers, so that
we can reserve rooms for their section headers.

The current state doesn't allow that, as it forces us to first
save the build-ids to the file right after the datas instead of
planning any structured layout.

That's why this splits up the build-ids processing in two parts:
one that fetches the build-ids from the Dso objects, and one
that saves them into the file.

c10edee2e1 perf tools: Fix permission checks
The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is
not root which results in a very confusing error message:

  $ perf record -A -a -f

    Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied)

    Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?

It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for
EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message:

  $ perf record -A -a -f
    Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

8d06367fa7 perf symbols: Use the buildids if present
With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.

'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.

When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.

Example:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
 /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
  # Samples: 2621434559
  #
  # Overhead          Command                  Shared Object  Symbol
  # ........  ...............  .............................  ......
  #
       7.91%             init  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.64%             init  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       3.65%             init  [kernel]        [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#

In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.

Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.

Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:

'perf list-buildids'

that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.

Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

253977b0d8 perf/probes: Improve probe point syntax of perf-probe
This changes probe point syntax of perf-probe as below

 <SRC>[:ABS_LN] [ARGS]
 or
 <FUNC>[+OFFS|%return][@SRC] [ARGS]

And event name and event group name are automatically
generated based on probe-symbol and offset as below.

 perfprobes/SYMBOL_OFFSET[_NUM]

Where SYMBOL is the probing symbol and OFFSET is
the byte offset from the symbol.

More polishing is needed to print just DSO basename when not
--verbose, etc.

Supporting a 'comm' column requires some more reworking of 'perf
top' internals as we will need to use something like the hist
entries 'perf report' uses and will be done in another patch.

The present use of -Wcast-align causes the build to blow up on

802da5f228 perf tools: Drop asm/types.h wrapper
Wrapping the kernel headers is dangerous when it comes to arch
headers. Once we wrap asm/types.h, it will also replace the
glibc asm/types.h, not only the kernel one.

This results in build errors on some machines.

Drop this wrapper and do its work from linux/types.h wrapper,
also the glibc asm/types.h can already handle most of the type
definition it was doing (typedef __u64, __u32, etc...).

Todo: Check the others asm/*.h wrappers to prevent from other
conflicts.

a4fb581b15 perf tools: Bind callchains to the first sort dimension column
Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left
margin. So depending on the current sort dimension
configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the
first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case,
except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm,
because these are right aligned.

This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first
column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol).
Before:

Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but:

- If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it
  with a first ascii hook.

af0a6fa463 perf tools: Fix missing top level callchain
While recursively printing the branches of each callchains, we
forget to display the root. It is never printed.

Say we have:

    symbol
    f1
    f2
     |
     -------- f3
     |        f4
     |
     ---------f5
              f6

Actually we never see that, instead it displays:

    symbol
    |
    --------- f3
    |         f4
    |
    --------- f5
              f6

However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are
sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well
aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks
redundant here.

But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm,
etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather
necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with
its callchain:

     comm     dso        symbol
     f1
     f2
     |
     --------- [...]

And we want the callchain to be obvious.
So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also
filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.

4e3b799d7d perf tools: Use strsep() over strtok_r() for parsing single line
The second argument in the strtok_r() function is not to be used
generically and can have different implementations. Currently
the function parsing of the perf trace code uses the second
argument to copy data from. This can crash the tool or just have
unpredictable results.

The correct solution is to use strsep() which has a defined
result.

I also added a check to see if the result was correct, and will
break out of the loop in case it fails to parse as expected.

60d526f7fa perf tools: Add 'make DEBUG=1' to remove the -O6 cflag
When using gdb to debug perf, it is practically impossible to
use when perf is compiled with -O6. For developers, this patch
adds the DEBUG feature to the make command line so that a
developer can easily remove the optimization flag.

c88e4bf60d perf top: Fix symbol annotation

relative symbol address to the absolute address needed to match
objdump -dS addresses.

8f0b037398 perf annotate: Remove requirement of passing a symbol name
If the user doesn't pass a symbol name to annotate, it will
annotate all the symbols that have hits, in order, just like
'perf report -s comm,dso,symbol'.

This is a natural followup patch to the one that uses
output_hists to find the symbols with hits.

The common case is to annotate the first few entries at the top
of a perf report, so lets type less characters.

e42049926e perf annotate: Use the sym_priv_size area for the histogram
We have this sym_priv_size mechanism for attaching private areas
to struct symbol entries but annotate wasn't using it, adding
private areas to struct symbol in addition to a ->priv pointer.

Scrap all that and use the sym_priv_size mechanism.

ed52ce2e3c perf tools: Add ->unmap_ip operation to struct map
We need this because we get section relative addresses when
reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs
to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need
the address + section back again.

So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances
(that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over
the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that
particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to
match with annotate.

Verified that at least:

 perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary
 perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all

on a 'perf record perf top' session seems to work.
