To avoid having to resort to --stdio, that expands everything, instead
allow the user to go on expanding the relevant callchains and then press
'P' to print that view.
As the hists browser is used for both static (report) and dynamic (top)
views, it prints to a 'perf.hists.N' sequence, i.e. multiple snapshots
can be taken in report and top.

We want to reuse the event grammar for parsing aliased terms.
The obvious reason is we dont need to add new code when there's
already support for this in event grammar.
Doing this by adding terms and event start entries into event
parse grammar. The grammar forks on the begining based on the
starting token, which is supplied via bison interface into the
lexer. The lexer then returns the starting token as the first
token, thus making the grammar switch accordingly.
Currently 2 starting tokens/grammars are supported:
PE_START_TERMS, PE_START_EVENTS
The PE_START_TERMS related grammar uses 'event_config' part
of the grammar for term parsing.

We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to
synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data
headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll
end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same
tracepoint ID -> real event association.
Example:
# uname -a
Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ]
# cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
279
# perf evlist -v
sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
#
So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on
the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id:
$ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id
56
$ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout
$ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id
279
With this fix:
$ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data
sched:sched_switch

The following commit:
commit 56f3bae706
Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Sep 7 17:14:00 2011 -0600
perf stat: Add --log-fd <N> option to redirect stderr elsewhere
introduced a bug in the way perf stat outputs the results by default,
i.e., without the --log-fd or --output option. It would default to
writing to file descriptor 0, i.e., stdin. Writing to stdin is allowed
and is equivalent to writing to stdout. However, there is a major
difference for any script that was already capturing the output of perf
stat via redirection:
perf stat >/tmp/log .... or perf stat 2>/tmp/log ....
They would not capture anything anymore. They would have to do:
perf stat 0>/tmp/log ...
This breaks compatibility with existing scripts and does not look very
natural.
This patch fixes the problem by looking at output_fd only when it was
modified by user (> 0). It also checks that the value if positive.
Passing --log-fd 0 is ignored.
I would also argue that defaulting to stderr for the results is not the
right thing to do, though this patch does not address this specific
issue.

Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data
- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2

# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target
- the diff should produce no output

test 2)

perf script: Unify the expressions indicating "unknown"
The perf script command uses various expressions to indicate "unknown".
It is unfriendly for user scripts to parse it. So, this patch unifies
the expressions to "[unknown]".
Looks like a copy-paste in that the other references use al.map but this one
should be node->map.
With this patch you get:
$ perf script -i /tmp/perf.data

When no event is specified the tools use perf_evlist__add_default(), that will
call event_attr_init to initialize the KVM exclusion bits.
When the change was made to the tools so that by default guest samples would be
excluded, the changes were made just to the parsing routines and to
perf_evlist__add_default(), not to perf_evlist__add_attrs, that is used so far
just by perf stat to add multiple events, according to the level of detail
specified.
Recently the tools were changed to reconstruct the event name from all the
details in perf_event_attr, not just from .type and .config, but taking into
account all the feature bits (.exclude_{guest,host,user,kernel,etc},
.precise_ip, etc).
That is when we noticed that the default for perf stat wasn't the one for the
rest of the tools, i.e. the .exclude_guest bit wasn't being set.
I.e. the default, that doesn't call event_attr_init was showing the :HG
modifier:
$ perf stat usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

While if one explicitely specifies the same events, which will make the parsing code
to be called and thus event_attr_init is called:
$ perf stat -e task-clock,context-switches,migrations,page-faults,cycles,stalled-cycles-frontend,stalled-cycles-backend,instructions,branches,branch-misses usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

Fix it by introducing a perf_evlist__add_default_attrs method that will call
evlist_attr_init in all the perf_event_attr entries before adding the events.

In non symbolic views, i.e. --sort without "symbol", as in:
perf report --sort comm
We're segfaulting in the --tui because we're testing the symbol resolved
and then trying to use the symbol on the histogram entry where we're
coalescing all hits for a COMM, and the first hist_entry for a comm may
have a NULL symbol, i.e. the RIP didn't resolve to any symbol.
In this case we're segfaulting, fix it by testing against the symbol in
the histogram entry.

The modifiers:

u user space
h hypervisor
G guest
H host
p, pp, ppp precision level (PEBS)
that can be suffixed to an event were lost when tools used event_name()
to reconstruct them from the perf_event_attr entries in a perf.data
file.
Fix it by following the defaults used for these modifiers in the current
codebase, so:
$ perf record -e instructions:u usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
instructions:u
$ perf record -e cycles:k usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cycles:k
$ perf record -e cycles:kh usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cycles:kh
$ perf record -e cache-misses:G usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cache-misses:G
$ perf record -e cycles:ppk usleep 1 2> /dev/null
$ perf evlist
cycles:kpp
$
Also works with 'top', 'report', etc.
More work needed to cover tracepoints and software events while not
dragging lots of baggage to the python binding, this is a minimal fix

In 40491eaa "perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock"
we freed counter->name but didn't reset it to NULL, then when setting it
to the result of event_name(), event_name() would use the cached value,
which by now was overwritten and thus we got garbage or a zero lenght
string.
Fix it by just freeing and setting counter->name to NULL, this way
event_name() when called afterwards, will find the right counter name
and cache it again.
Found while trying 'cycles:pp' on a machine were :pp couldn't be
honoured. Probably the best fallback here is to tell the user that that
level of precision is not available on the PMU and then go removing 'p',
levels of precision till we get to play 'cycles' and if even that fails,
_then_ get to 'cpu-clock'.
But that is the matter for another patch, this one just needs to fix the
caching issue, which in the end will show 'cpu-clock' when tools ask for
the event name being used, which clarifies things for the user, that
will see that 'cycles:pp' or whatever not support event is not being
used, some sort of fallback happened.

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
"The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews
from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.
This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
(and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.
Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
calls without modifying user-space binaries.
First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.
If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
within libc (binaries can be specified as well):
$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6
To probe libc's malloc():
$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1
Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
look very boring):
$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are
kept in an rbtree.
If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.
Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
dynamic callback list of event consumers.
The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).
The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
to it.
Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
by setting perf_paranoid to -1.
You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."
Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by
being placed in the bss.
Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist

The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using:
gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC)
But not on several other systems, by luck.

Quoting Ingo:
"While at it I'd also suggest increasing the default sampling frequency,
from 1000 Hz per CPU to at least 4Khz auto-freq or so - this should work
well all across the board I think. CPUs are getting faster and command/app
run times are getting shorter, 1Khz is a bit low IMO."

The reason [kernel.kallsyms] shows a 0 build-id comes from the
way buildids are injected in the stream.
The buildid for the kernel is provided by a BUILD_ID record. The
[kernel.kallsyms] is provided by a MMAP record. There is no clean and
obvious way to link the two, unfortunately.
In regular mode, the kernel buildid is generated from reading the ELF
image or kallsyms and perf knows to associate [kernel.kallsyms] to it.
Later on, when perf processes the [kernel.kallsyms] MMAP record, it will
already have a dso for it.
So for now, make sure perf buildid-list shows the buildids for
everything but the kernel image.

In __perf_session__process_pipe_events(), there was a risk we would read
more than what a union perf_event struct can hold. this could happen in
case, perf is reading a file which contains new record types it does not
know about and which are larger than anything it knows about.
In general, perf is supposed to skip records it does not understand, but
in pipe mode, those have to be read and ignored. The fixed size header
contains the size of the record, but that size may be larger than union
perf_event, yet it was used as the backing to the read in:
union perf_event event;
void *p;
size = event->header.size;
p = &event;
p += sizeof(struct perf_event_header);
if (size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header)) {
err = readn(self->fd, p, size - sizeof(struct perf_event_header));
We fix this by allocating a buffer based on the size reported in the
header. We reuse the buffer as much as we can. We realloc in case it
becomes too small. In the common case, the performance impact is
negligible.

perf inject -b was broken. It would not inject any build_id into the
stream. Furthermore, it would strip samples from the stream.
The reason was a missing initialization of the event attribute
structure. The perf_tool.tool.attr() callback was pointing to a simple
repipe. But there was no initialization of the internal data structures
to keep track of events and event ids. That later caused event id
lookups to fail, and sample would get removed.
The patch simply adds back the call to perf_event__process_attr() to
initialize the evlist structure and now build_ids are again injected.

When the perf data file is read cross architectures, the
perf_event__attr_swap function takes care about endianness of all the
struct fields except the bitfield flags.
The bitfield flags need to be transformed as well, since the bitfield
binary storage differs for both endians.
ABI says:
Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most significant)
on little-endian implementations and from left to right (most to least
significant) on big-endian implementations.
The above seems to be byte specific, so we need to reverse each byte of
the bitfield. 'Internet' also says this might be implementation specific
and we probably need proper fix and carry perf_event_attr bitfield flags
in separate data file FEAT_ section. Thought this seems to work for now.
Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data
- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target
- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)
test 2)
- origin system:
# perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
- mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
- target system:
# perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
--kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
- complete perf.data header is displayed

The commit 55261f4670 ("perf evlist: Fix creation of cpu map") changed
to create a per-task event when no cpu target is specified. However it
caused a problem since perf-task do not allow event inheritance due to
scalability issues so that the result will contain samples only from
parent, not from its children.
So we should use perf-task-per-cpu events anyway to get the right
result. Revert it.

Options -m and -x explicitly allow tracing of modules / user space
binaries. In absense of these options, check if the first argument can
be used as a target.
perf probe /bin/zsh zfree is equivalent to perf probe -x /bin/zsh zfree.

- Get back the line separating the overheads from the disassembly, requested by
Peter Zijlstra, Linus agreed now that it is a solid line and more column real
state was harvested. Also it has the jump->arrow lines separated from it by
the address/jump target column.
- Don't change asm line color when toggling source code view. Requested by
