By default, when tasks are specified (i.e. -p, -t or -u options)
per-thread mmaps are created.
Add an option to override that and force per-cpu mmaps.
Further comments by peterz:
So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach
all the various thread/process/user tasks' their counters to that one
buffer?
As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its
own buffer.

You can't pass demangled name into "perf probe", because of special chars:
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out 'foo(int)'
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
And you can't even pass without demangling (because it search symbol in
DSO with demangle=true):
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi
no symbols found in /tmp/a.out, maybe install a debug package?
However:
nm /tmp/a.out | grep foo
000000000040056d T _Z3fooi
After this patch, using the next command:
./perf probe -f --no-demangle -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi
probe will be successfully added.

When introducing the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 in:
5c5e854bc7 perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support
A check for the number of entries parsed by sscanf was introduced that
assumed all of the 8 fields needed to be correctly parsed so that
particular /proc/pid/maps line would be considered synthesizable.
That broke anon records synthesizing, as it doesn't have the 'execname'
field.
Fix it by keeping the sscanf return check, changing it to not require
that the 'execname' variable be parsed, so that the preexisting logic
can kick in and set it to '//anon'.
This should get things like JIT profiling working again.

Set feature-libunwind-debug-frame. We don't want it in
CORE_FEATURE_TESTS because it's not the generic case, but we
need to set it in the !feature-libunwind case.
Also, because x86 distributions typically don't have
dwarf_find_debug_frame() unwinding method:
test-libunwind-debug-frame.c:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `_Ux86_64_dwarf_find_debug_frame'

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:
1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.
There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.
The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.
Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"
I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

Currently perf requires the -m / --mmap_pages option to be a power of 2.
To be more user friendly perf should automatically round this up to the
next power of 2.
Currently:
$ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1
--mmap_pages/-m value must be a power of two.sleep: Terminated
With patch:
$ perf record -m 3 -a -- sleep 1
rounding mmap pages size to 16384 (4 pages)
...
v2: Add bytes units to rounding message per Ingo's request. Other
suggestions (e.g., prefixing INFO) should be addressed by wrapping
pr_info to catch all instances.

If given sort keys are all elided there'll be no output except for the
overhead column - actually the TUI shows a noisy output. In this case
it'd be better to show up the sort keys rather than elide.
Before:
$ perf report -s comm -c perf
(...)
# Overhead
# ........
#
100.00%
After:
$ perf report -s comm -c perf
(...)
# Overhead Command
# ........ .......
#
100.00% perf

Several tools (top, kvm) don't need to be called back to process each of
the syntheiszed records, instead relying on the machine__process_event
function to change the per machine data structures that represent
threads and mmaps, so provide a way to ask for this common idiom.

When perf_event_attr.mmap_data is set the kernel will generate
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are
created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing
threads, as we do for exec mmaps.
Right now just 'perf record' does it, but any other tool that uses
perf_event__synthesize_thread(s|map) can request it.

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.
We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.
This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

Each call to tui_progress__update() would forcibly refresh the entire
screen. This is somewhat inefficient and causes noticable flickering
during the startup of perf-report, especially on large/slow terminals.
It looks like the force-refresh in tui_progress__update() serves no
purpose other than to clear the screen so that the progress bar of a
previous operation does not subsume that of a subsequent operation. But
we can do just that in a much more efficient manner by clearing only the
region that a previous progress bar may have occupied before repainting
the new progress bar. Then the force-refresh could be removed with no
change in visuals.
This patch disables the slow force-refresh in tui_progress__update() and
instead calls SLsmg_fill_region() on the entire area that the progress
bar may occupy before repainting it. This change makes the startup of
perf-report much faster and appear much "smoother".
It turns out that this was a big bottleneck in the startup speed of
perf-report -- with this patch, perf-report starts up ~2x faster (1.1s
vs 0.55s) on my machines. (These numbers were measured by running "time
perf report" on an 8MB perf.data and pressing 'q' immediately.)

There is no point in sort.h including itself.
The include was added when the file was created, in commit "perf tools:
Create util/sort.and use it" (dd68ada2d) and added a include to "sort.h"
in lot of files (all the files that started using the file). It was
probably added by mistake on sort.h too.

Instead do the lookups just when creating the tracepoints, initially for
the most common, raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}.
It works by having evsel->priv have a per tracepoint structure with
entries for the fields, for direct access, with the offset and a
function to get the value from the sample, doing the swap if needed.
Using a simple workload that does M millions write syscalls, we go from:
# perf stat -i -e cycles /tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100 > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for '/tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100':

When building perf out of tree:
$ make perf-tar-src-pkg
$ tar -xf perf-<ver>.tar -C /tmp
$ cd /tmp/perf<ver>
$ make -C tools/perf
you get this warning message:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `kernelversion'. Stop.
Fix it by saving the perf version in the tar file and using that for the
out of tree builds.
v2: removed short form request and fixed up version string from usual output.

When we cross the maximum value we fail and display detailed error
message with advise.
$ perf record -F 3000 ls
Maximum frequency rate (2000) reached.
Please use -F freq option with lower value or consider
tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
In case user does not specify the frequency and the default value cross

Shorten it, "finding" it is an implementation detail, what callers want
is the pathname, not to ask for it to _always_ do the lookup.
And the existing implementation already caches it, i.e. it doesn't
"finds" it on every call.
