When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,
for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are
filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non
filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI.
But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,
--dsos, etc).
So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in
place.

There 2 problems when reading symbols files:
* It doesn't report any errors even if when users specify symbol
files which don't exist with --kallsyms or --vmlinux. The result
just shows the address without symbols, which is not what is expected.
So it's better to report errors and exit the program.
* When using command perf report --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms with a
non-root user, symbols are resolved. Then select one symbol and
annotate it, it reports the error as the following:
Can't annotate __clear_user: No vmlinux file with build id xxx was
found.
The problem is caused by reading /proc/kcore without access permission.
/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability to access, so it needs to
change access permission to allow a specific user to read /proc/kcore or
use root to execute the perf command.
This patch is to report errors when symbol files specified by users
don't exist. And check access permission of /proc/kcore when reading it.

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.
So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

Calling the function 'machine__new_module' implies a new 'module' will
be allocated, when in fact what is returned is a 'struct map' instance,
that not necessarily will be instantiated, as if one already exists with
the given module name, it will be returned instead.
So be consistent with other "find and if not there, create" like
functions, like machine__findnew_thread, machine__findnew_dso, etc, and
rename it to machine__findnew_module_map(), that in turn will call
machine__findnew_module_dso().

We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.
Start fixing it by reference counting them.
This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.
Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.

Original vmlinux_path__exit() doesn't revert vmlinux_path__nr_entries to
its original state. After the while loop vmlinux_path__nr_entries
becomes -1 instead of 0.
This makes a problem that, if runs twice, during the second run
vmlinux_path__init() will set vmlinux_path[-1] to strdup("vmlinux"),
corrupts random memory.
This patch reset vmlinux_path__nr_entries to 0 after the while loop.

[ Yanked this independent hunk, without changes, from a larger patch ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order
to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples.
During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it
ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name.
But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path
so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the
~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users.
This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so
that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name,
not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.

Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from
current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version
number of the running kernel. This can be a problem when reporting old
data recorded on a kernel version not running currently.
We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it
always. As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be
changed to use it for the search automatically.

Add a flag to 'struct dso' to record if the dso is 64-bit or not.
Update the flag when reading the ELF.
This is needed for instruction decoding. For example, x86 instruction
decoding depends on whether or not the 64-bit instruction set is used.

Stephane reported that perf report and annotate failed to process data
using lots of (> 500) shared libraries. It was because of the limit on
number of open files (ulimit -n).
Currently when perf loads a DSO, it'll look for normal and dynamic
symbol tables. And if it fails to find out both tables, it'll iterate
all of possible symtab types. But many of them are useless since they
have no additional information and the problem is that it's not closing
those files even though they're not used. Fix it.

If the kernel is relocated at boot time, kallsyms will not match data
recorded previously.
That does not matter for modules because they are corrected anyway. It
also does not matter if vmlinux is being used for symbols. But if perf
tools has only kallsyms then the symbols will not match.
Fix by applying the delta gained by comparing the old and current
addresses of the relocation reference symbol.

Use of kcore is predicated upon it matching the recorded data. If the
kernel has been relocated at boot time (i.e. since the data was
recorded) then do not use kcore.
Note that it is possible to make a copy of kcore at the time the data is
recorded using 'perf buildid-cache'. Then the perf tools will use the
copy because it does match the data.

It was called "data_type", but in this context "data" is way too vague,
it could mean the "data" ELF segment, or something else.
Since we have dso__read_binary_type_filename() and the values this field
receives are all DSO__BINARY_TYPE_<FOO> we may as well call it
"binary_type" for consistency sake.
It also seems more appropriate since it determines if we can do
operations like annotation and DWARF unwinding, that needs more than
just the symtab, requiring access to ELF text segments, CFI ELF
sections, etc.
