Zheng Liu 12f8f74b2a perf test: fix a build error on builtin-test
Recently I build perf and get a build error on builtin-test.c. The error is as
following:

$ make
    CC perf.o
    CC builtin-test.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-test.c: In function ‘sched__get_first_possible_cpu’:

builtin-test.c:998: warning: nested extern declaration of ‘CPU_CLR_S’
make: *** [builtin-test.o] Error 1

This problem is introduced in 3e7c439a. CPU_ALLOC and related macros are
missing in sched__get_first_possible_cpu function. In 54489c18, commiter
mentioned that CPU_ALLOC has been removed. So CPU_ALLOC calls in this
function are removed to let perf to be built.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo bfaef4b46b perf diff: Use hists__link when not pairing just with baseline
Previously there were blind spots because we were not looking at symbols
that didn't ocurred in the latest run:

  # perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]
  # perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (~801 samples) ]

Before:

  # perf diff
  # Event 'cycles'
  #
  # Baseline    Delta      Shared Object                         Symbol
  # ........  .......  .................  .............................

So 9.05 + 9.36 + 7.60 + 0.21 != 100%

Now using the recently introduced hists__link we can see the whole

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 494d70a181 perf hists: Introduce hists__link
That given two hists will find the hist_entries (buckets) in the second
hists that are for the same bucket in the first and link them, then it
will look for all buckets in the second that don't have a counterpart in
the first and will create a dummy counterpart that will then be linked
to the entry in the second.

For multiple events this will be done pairing the leader with all the
other events in the group, so that in the end the leader will have all
the buckets in all the hists in a group, dummy or not while the other
hists will be left untouched.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo b821c73253 perf diff: Start moving to support matching more than two hists
We want to match more than two hists, so that we can match more than two
perf.data files and moreover, match hist_entries (buckets) in multiple
events in a group.

So the "baseline"/"leader" will instead of a ->pair pointer, use a
list_head, that will link to the pairs and hists__match use it.

Following that perf_evlist__link will link the hists in its evsel
groups.

Namhyung Kim ff6f7778a6 perf tools: Don't try to lookup objdump for live mode
Arnaldo reported that annotation during perf top resulted in a segfault.
It was because the env->arch was NULL and we don't set it for a live
session.  In fact, no need to look up objdump in this case since we can
use system's default (native) objdump.

Namhyung Kim 68d807586b perf report: Postpone objdump check until annotation requested
David reported that current perf report refused to run on a data file
captured from a different machine because of objdump.

Since the objdump tools won't be used unless annotation was requested,
checking its presence at init time doesn't make sense.

Namhyung Kim 9783adf777 perf tools: Introduce struct hist_browser_timer
Currently various hist browser functions receive 3 arguments for
refreshing histogram but only used from a few places.  Also it's only
for perf top command so that it can be NULL for other (and probably
most) cases.  Pack them into a struct in order to reduce number of those
unused arguments.

This is a mechanical change and does not intend a functional change.

Namhyung Kim 48ed0ece1b perf tools: Use normalized arch name for searching objdump path
David reported that perf report for i686 target data on x86_64 host
failed to work because it tried to find out cross-compiled objdump.

However objdump for x86_64 is compatible to i686 so that it doesn't need
to do it at all.  To prevent similar artifacts, normalize arch name when
comparing host and file architectures.

The idea is run perf session with kidnapping sys_perf_event_open
function. For each sys_perf_event_open call we store the perf_event_attr
data to the file to be checked later against what we expect.

You can run this by:
  $ python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -v

v2 changes:
  - preserve errno value in the hook

$ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install
$ perf --version
perf version 3.7.rc3.g3afad6

Now on a machine without git installed:

$ mv  /home/acme/bin/git /home/acme/bin/git.OFF
$ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install
$ perf --version
perf version 3.7.0-rc2

That is, no error message due to git not being installed will appear on the
screen and instead the version string in the top level Makefile will be
used.

Ingo Molnar 0e2af95669 perf tools: Further speed up the perf build
There's another source of overhead in the perf version string generator:

   git update-index -q --refresh

... which will iterate the whole checked out tree. This can be pretty
slow on NFS volumes, but takes some time even with local SSD disks and a
fully cached kernel tree:

 $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty

 Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):

       0.306999221 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.56% )

So remove the .dirty differentiator as well - it adds little information
because locally patched git trees are common, but seldom are the perf
tools modified.

So a lot of version strings are reported as 'dirty' while in fact they
are pristine perf builds. For example 99% of my perf builds are not
patched but the kernel tree is slightly patched, which adds the .dirty
tag.

Eliminating that tag speeds up version generation by another order of
magnitude:

 $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3

 Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):

       0.021270923 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  1.94% )

(Also clean up some of the comments around this code.)

Ingo Molnar acddedfba0 perf tools: Speed up the perf build time by simplifying the perf --version string generation
Building perf is pretty slow on trees that have a lot of commits
relative to the nearest Git tag. This slowness manifests itself during
version string generation:

 $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b

 Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):

       2.857503976 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.22% )

The build can be even slower than that, when one over NFS volumes.

The reason for the slowness is that util/PERF-VERSION-GEN uses "git
describe" to generate the string, which has to count the "number of
commits distance" from the nearest tag - the ".1458." count in the
output above. For that Git had to extract and decompress 1458 Git
objects, which takes time and bandwidth.

But this "number of commits" value is mostly irrelevant in practice. We
either want to know an approximate tag name, or we want to know the
precise sha1.

So this patch simplifies the version string to:

 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty

which speeds up the version string generation script by an order of
magnitude:

 $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty
 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty

 Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs):

       0.307633559 seconds time elapsed                                          ( +-  0.84% )

Joonsoo Kim cd69ef88a7 perf tools: Add info about cross compiling for Android ARM
Without defining ARCH=arm, building perf for Android ARM will fail,
because it needs architecture specific files.

So add related relevant information to the android documentation.
