If a 32bit userspace perf is running on a 64bit kernel, the end of the final
map in the kernel would incorrectly be set to 2^32-1 rather than 2^64-1.

Tool developers have to fill in a 'perf_event_ops' method table to
specify how to handle each event, so far the ones that were not
explicitely especified would get a stub that would just discard the
event.
Change that so that tool developers can get the lost event details and
the total number of such events at the end of 'perf report -D' output.

Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.
For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.
Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

symbol_name_rb_node, causing "((void *)sym) - sizeof(struct rb_node)" to

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".
In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).
Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.
Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
and manually included in CFLAGS

This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.
Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.
The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.
The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.
Examples on a 4-way system:
# perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1

to get the actually SHA1 so it is no longer relative to the branch.

This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode
commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands.
The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of
perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of
the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell
scripts.
With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al
The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be
available by explicitly specifying -a:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al
and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide:
$ perf trace rw-by-pid
Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked,
it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and
which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report
scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to
use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps.
For example:
$ perf trace syscall-counts ls
Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the
syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>.
In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params
and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>.
If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be
accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly:
$ perf trace record syscall-counts
$ perf trace report syscall-counts ls
So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most
intuitive sense for live-mode commands:
- for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args
are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step
- for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be
used - all extra args are send to the report script as params
- for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be
the first n args after the script name and sent to the report
script, and the rest are sent to the record step

Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the
perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always
system wide, even if it was given a command.
If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for
the command, as users expect.
If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded
events are system-wide, as before.
