Namhyung Kim 12864b3158 perf target: Split out perf_target handling code
For further work on perf_target, it'd be better off splitting the code
into a separate file.

Namhyung Kim 4bd0f2d2c0 perf tools: Introduce perf_target__validate() helper
The perf_target__validate function is used to check given PID/TID/UID/CPU
target options and warn if some combination is impossible. Also this can
make some arguments of parse_target_uid() function useless as it is checked
before the call via our new helper.

David Daney 2ef1ea3826 perf tools: Fix broken build by defining _GNU_SOURCE in Makefile
When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build
because commit 1aed267173 (perf kvm: Do
guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the
feature selection in util.h is done.  This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in
util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second
inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken.

There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering,
but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it.

The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE,
so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all
invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header
files.  All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they
cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler.

All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are
moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS
are removed.

This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).

Stephane Eranian a1ac1d3c08 perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cache
There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data
to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary
overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images).

A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file,
simply do:

[buildid]
dir = /dev/null

This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run
basis.  It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still
generated in the perf.data file.

Stephane Eranian 45de34bbe3 perf buildid: add perfconfig option to specify buildid cache dir
This patch adds the ability to specify an alternate directory to store the
buildid cache (buildids, copy of binaries). By default, it is hardcoded to
$HOME/.debug. This directory contains immutable data. The layout of the
directory is such that no conflicts in filenames are possible. A modification
in a file, yields a different buildid and thus a different location in the
subdir hierarchy.

You may want to put the buildid cache elsewhere because of disk space
limitation or simply to share the cache between users. It is also useful for
remote collect vs. local analysis of profiles.

This patch adds a new config option to the perfconfig file.  Under the tag
'buildid', there is a dir option. For instance, if you have:

$ cat /etc/perfconfig
[buildid]
dir = /var/cache/perf-buildid

All buildids and binaries are be saved in the directory specified. The perf
record, buildid-list, buildid-cache, report, annotate, and archive commands
will it to pull information out.

The option can be set in the system-wide perfconfig file or in the
$HOME/.perfconfig file.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a41794cdd7 perf tools: Remove some unused functions
Without the bloated cplus_demangle from binutils, i.e building with:

$ make NO_DEMANGLE=1 O=~acme/git/build/perf -j3 -C tools/perf/ install

Before:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 471851	  29280	4025056	4526187	 45106b	/home/acme/bin/perf

After:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ size ~/bin/perf
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 446886	  29232	4008576	4484694	 446e56	/home/acme/bin/perf

So its a 5.3% size reduction in code, but the interesting part is in the git
diff --stat output:

 19 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1909 deletions(-)

If we ever need some of the things we got from git but weren't using, we just
have to go to the git repo and get fresh, uptodate source code bits.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c82ee828aa perf report: Report number of events, not samples
Number of samples is meaningless after we switched to auto-freq, so
report the number of events, i.e. not the sum of the different periods,
but the number PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE emitted by the kernel.

While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the
event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in
struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent.

This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry
the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we
use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the
tree of hist entries like it is being done in the TUI report browser.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 4cf40131a5 perf record: Introduce a symtab cache
Now a cache will be created in a ~/.debug debuginfo like
hierarchy, so that at the end of a 'perf record' session all the
binaries (with build-ids) involved get collected and indexed by
their build-ids, so that perf report can find them.

This is interesting when developing software where you want to
do a 'perf diff' with the previous build and opens avenues for
lots more interesting tools, like a 'perf diff --graph' that
takes more than two binaries into account.

Tunables for collecting just the symtabs can be added if one
doesn't want to have the full binary, but having the full binary
allows things like 'perf rerecord' or other tools that can
re-run the tests by having access to the exact binary in some
perf.data file, so it may well be interesting to keep the full
binary there.

Space consumption is minimised by trying to use hard links, a
'perf cache' tool to manage the space used, a la ccache is
required to purge older entries.

With this in place it will be possible also to introduce new
commands, 'perf archive' and 'perf restore' (or some more
suitable and future proof names) to create a cpio/tar file with
the perf data and the files in the cache that _had_ perf hits of
interest.

There are more aspects to polish, like finding the right vmlinux
file to cache, etc, but this is enough for a first step.

 [ 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.

Frederic Weisbecker 5f9c39dca5 perf tools: Add perf trace
This adds perf trace into the set of perf tools.

It is written to fetch the tracepoint samples from perf events
and display them, according to the events information given by
the debugfs files through the util/trace* tools.

It is a rough first shot and doesn't yet handle the cpu,
timestamps fields and some other things.

Example:

 perf record -f -e workqueue:workqueue_execution:record -F 1 -a
 perf trace
