perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored
__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.
The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

The callchains are fed with an array of a fixed size.
As a result we iterate over each callchains three times:
- 1st to resolve symbols
- 2nd to filter out context boundaries
- 3rd for the insertion into the tree
This also involves some pairs of memory allocation/deallocation
everytime we insert a callchain, for the filtered out array of
addresses and for the array of symbols that comes along.
Instead, feed the callchains through a linked list with persistent
allocations. It brings several pros like:
- Merge the 1st and 2nd iterations in one. That was possible before
but in a way that would involve allocating an array slightly taller
than necessary because we don't know in advance the number of context
boundaries to filter out.
- Much lesser allocations/deallocations. The linked list keeps
persistent empty entries for the next usages and is extendable at
will.
- Makes it easier for multiple sources of callchains to feed a
stacktrace together. This is deemed to pave the way for cfi based
callchains wherein traditional frame pointer based kernel
stacktraces will precede cfi based user ones, producing an overall
callchain which size is hardly predictable. This requirement
makes the static array obsolete and makes a linked list based
iterator a much more flexible fit.
Basic testing on a big perf file containing callchains (~ 176 MB)
has shown a throughput gain of about 11% with perf report.

If we sort the histograms by comm, which is the default,
we need to merge some of them, typically different thread
histograms of a same process, or just same comm. But during
this merge, we forgot to merge callchains.
So imagine we have three threads (tids: 1000, 1001, 1002) that
belong to comm "foo".
tid 1000 got 100 events
tid 1001 got 10 events
tid 1002 got 3 events
Once we merge these histograms to get a per comm result, we'll
finally get:
"foo" got 113 events
The problem is if we merge 1000 and 1001 histograms into 1002, then
the end merge result, wrt callchains, will be only callchains that
belong to 1002.
This is because we haven't handled callchains in the merge. Only those
from one of the threads inside a common comm survive.
It means during this merge, we can lose a lot of callchains.
Fix this by implementing callchains merge and apply it on histograms
that collapse.

Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this
period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in
perf report.
But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking
the period into account. So when we compute the percentage,
absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones
too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events
muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the
callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be
the number of raw hits.
perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless
the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the
branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on
the first branch level too.
flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages.
Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

Callchains have markers inside their capture to tell we
enter a context (kernel, user, ...).
Those are not displayed in the callchains but they are
incidentally an active part of the radix tree where
callchains are stored, just like any other address.
If we have the two following callchains:
addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr3
addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr4
addr1 -> addr2 -> addr 5
This is pretty common if addr1 and addr2 are part of an
interrupt path, addr3 and addr4 are user addresses and
addr5 is a kernel non interrupt path.
This will be stored as follows in the tree:
addr1
addr2
/ \
/ addr5
user context
/ \
addr3 addr4
But we ignore the context markers in the report, hence
the addr3 and addr4 will appear as orphan branches:
|--28.30%-- hrtimer_interrupt
| smp_apic_timer_interrupt
| apic_timer_interrupt
| | <------------- here, no parent!
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- 0x7fae7bccb875
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- 0xffffffffff60013b
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- __pthread_mutex_lock_internal
| | |
| | |--11.11%-- __errno_location
Fix this by removing the context markers when we process the
callchains to the tree.

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.
So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:
-Wcast-align
-Wformat=2
-Wshadow
-Winit-self
-Wpacked
-Wredundant-decls
-Wstack-protector
-Wstrict-aliasing=3
-Wswitch-default
-Wswitch-enum
-Wno-system-headers
-Wundef
-Wvolatile-register-var
-Wwrite-strings
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs
-Wold-style-definition
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wdeclaration-after-statement
And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.
The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.
I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.
If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)
I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.
I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.
[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the

perf report -g fractal,10.0
And you got:
2.33% hackbench [kernel] [k] _spin_lock_irqsave

| poll_freewait
| do_sys_poll
| sys_poll

|--7.14%-- __up_read
| up_read
| do_page_fault
| page_fault
| 0xf7ffa430
| 0xa0df710000000a
...
It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.
The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:
limit = 4 * 0.9;
The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%
We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it
raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an
empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did
something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met
an empty callchain that has to be ignored.
This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain
recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report
output starts with thousands of warning lines.

The current callchain displays the overhead rates as absolute:
relative to the total overhead.
This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each
branch of the callchain tree is a independant instrumentated object.
This provides a 'fractal' view of the call-chain profile: each
sub-graph looks like a profile in itself - relative to its parent.
You can produce such output by using the "fractal" mode
that you can abbreviate via f, fr, fra, frac, etc...

The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node
plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage
computing of a branch.
Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of
the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that
cumulative hits are propagated in the right order.
But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not
absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know
the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children
because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum
rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to
filter the children against a given rate.
Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the
implementation of relative overhead rates.

The command line has then changed.
By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
flat mode by default.
But you can override it:
perf report -c graph
or
perf report -c flat
You can also pass the abreviated mode:
perf report -c g
or
perf report -c gra
will both make use of the graph mode.

Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree
shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance.
The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes
are in the brothers field of the children.
This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list
of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a
head:
---------------
| Parent (head) |-------------------------------------
--------------- |
| |
children |
| |
----------- ----------- |
| 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother-----
----------- -----------
This makes the following strange pattern often occuring:
list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) {
// do something with children
}
Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify
this pattern.

Enable -Wextra. This found a few real bugs plus a number
of signed/unsigned type mismatches/uncleanlinesses. It
also required a few annotations
All things considered it was still worth it so lets try with
this enabled for now.

The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the
callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them,
including:
- inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node
- fix list range moving
- fix indexes setting in callchains
- create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in
the existent children (was only done on the root)
- compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function
using any ip inside by referring to its start address.
The practical effects are:
- remove double callchains
- fix upside down or any random order of callchains
- fix wrong paths
- fix bad hits and percentage accounts

Fix a confusion while giving the size of a callchain list
during its allocation. We are using the wrong structure size.

We plan to display the callchains depending on some user-configurable
parameters.
To gather the callchains stats from the recorded stream in a fast way,
this patch introduces an ad hoc radix tree adapted for callchains and also
a rbtree to sort these callchains once we have gathered every events
from the stream.
