Hists that have been filtered, because they don't have callchains
matching the parent filter, won't be printed. As such,
hist_entry__snprintf() returns 0 for them, but we don't control
this value and we always print the buffer, which might be
untouched and then only made of random stack garbage.
Not only does it paint the screen with barf, it also prints
the callchains for these hists, even though they have been filtered,
since the hist has been filtered as well.
We need to check the return value of hist_entry__snprintf() and
ignore the hist if it is 0, which means it didn't get any callchain
matching the parent filter. This fixes the barf and the undesired
callchains.

Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this
period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in
perf report.
But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking
the period into account. So when we compute the percentage,
absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones
too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events
muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the
callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be
the number of raw hits.
perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless
the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the
branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on
the first branch level too.
flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages.
Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

Initialize the callchain radix tree root correctly.
When we walk through the parents, we must stop after the root, but
since it wasn't well initialized, its parent pointer was random.
Also the number of hits was random because uninitialized, hence it
was part of the callchain while the root doesn't contain anything.
This fixes segfaults and percentages followed by empty callchains
while running:

while interim versions will have the version of the interim
kernel - for example:

At exit, perf record will kill the process it was profiling by sending a
SIGTERM to child_pid (if it had been initialised), but in certain situations
child_pid may be 0 and perf would mistakenly kill more processes than intended.
child_pid is set to the return of fork() to either 0 or the pid of the child.
Ordinarily this would not present an issue as the child calls execvp to spawn
the process to be profiled and would therefore never run it's sig_atexit and
never attempt to kill pid 0.
However, if a nonexistant binary had been passed in to perf record the call to
execvp would fail and child_pid would be left set to 0. The child would then
exit and it's atexit handler, finding that child_pid was initialised to 0,
would call kill(0, SIGTERM), resulting in every process within it's process
group being killed.
In the case that perf was being run directly from the shell this typically
would not be an issue as the shell isolates the process. However, if perf was
being called from another program it could kill unexpected processes, which may
even include X.
This patch changes the logic of the test for whether child_pid was initialised
to only consider positive pids as valid, thereby never attempting to kill pid
0.

There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data
to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary

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

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

Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures
that use function descriptors such as ppc64.
The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a
data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address.
We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To
create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor
section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.

Moving the tests to a separate file, feature-tests.mak and using a try-cc
function similar to the try-run in Kbuild.
This also makes the output more quiet as we can stop using the INTERMEDIATE
target to remove the .perf.dev.null file needed for some gcc versions where
/dev/null can't be used as the output file name.
As the tests get shorter by uninlining the source code used to test for
features, we can more properly use identation.
The feature tests itself can be made more clear and reused, like when trying to
see what is needed to have bfd_demangle.
We also get a bit closer to reusing scripts/Kbuild.include, reducing the
distance from the kernel build system.

In a shared multi-core environment, users want to analyze why their
program was slow. In particular, if the code ran slower only on certain
CPUs due to interference from other programs or kernel threads, the user
should be able to notice that.

perf record -f -a -- sleep 3
perf report --sort cpu,comm
Workload:
program is running on 16 CPUs
Experiencing interference from an antagonist only on 4 CPUs.

Perf report is demangling symbols but not annotate.
The former uses internal demangling via libbdf or libiberty. The latter
executes objdump which by default does not demangle symbols.
This patch adds the -C option to the objdump cmdline to enable symbol
demangling.

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.

This patch adds a -C option to stat, record, top to designate a list of CPUs to
monitor. CPUs can be specified as a comma-separated list or ranges, no space
allowed.
Examples:
$ perf record -a -C0-1,4-7 sleep 1
$ perf top -C0-4
$ perf stat -a -C1,2,3,4 sleep 1
With perf record in per-thread mode with inherit mode on, samples are collected
only when the thread runs on the designated CPUs.
The -C option does not turn on system-wide mode automatically.

The information is captured with perf record -R but it was

We need to set the long name to the name specified via, for instance,
'perf annotate --vmlinux /path/to/vmlinux', if not it will remain as
'[kernel.kallsyms]' and that will make annotate fail when passing this
as the vmlinux name in the call to objdump.
The way this is setup grew unwieldly and dso__load_vmlinux is the
function that should allocate space for the long name, with callers not
assuming that filenames should be allocated somehow by then (strdup,
dso__build_id_filename, etc).
For now this is the minimalistic patch, a proper fix for .36 will be
made.

When we use plain 'perf buildid-list' we use only what is in the buildid
table in the perf.data header. And those have absolute pathnames because
at 'perf record' time we used __perf_session__process_events and that
doesn't sets up the path shortening code in map__new() that happens if
symbol_conf.full_paths is false, the default.
On the other hand, when we use 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' we
process all the events using perf_session__process_events, adding
entries to the global DSO list _after_ removing the current directory
from the DSO name, for presentation purposes.
Because of that we end up having two entries in the DSO list when
recording events for binaries using relative pathnames.
Fix it minimally by setting symbol_conf.full_paths to true when marking
the DSOs with hits in 'perf buildid-list --with-hits', as used by 'perf
archive'
Right fix longer term is to shorten the path only at presentation time.
Will be done for 2.6.36.

hist_entry__annotate() runs objdump with -S option so the output may contain
lines of any format. If a line starts with a colon strtoull() returns 0 and
calculated offset will be negative. This causes perf annotate segfaults.

event__process_task() doesn't propagate the comm copy on clone,
but only on process fork. So we loose all the tid:comm resolution
for tasks that aren't a main process thread.
Progragate the per thread granularity to event__process_task for
pid resolution.
This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, especially when
we trace multithread processes. The problem is quickly reproducible
with the messaging benchmark using the multithread mode "-t" :

perf sched uses event__process_comm(), which means it can resolve
comms from:
- tasks that have exec'ed (kernel comm events)
- tasks that were running when perf record started the actual
recording (synthetized comm events)
But perf sched can't resolve the pids of tasks that were created
after the recording started.
To solve this, we need to inherit the comms on fork events using
event__process_task().
This fixes various unresolved pids in perf sched, easily visible
with:
perf sched record perf bench sched messaging

When we synthetize the existing running tasks though procfs,
we walk through every threads of a process, queuing one comm
events per tid.
But then on report time, event__process_comm() only creates and
sets the comm on a per process granularity. This is the right
thing for comm events that came from the kernel, as they are
only created on exec. Sub-threads then inherit their comm
from fork events. But that doesn't work with our synthetized
comm events taken from procfs informations as the per thread
granularity is done on comm events directly there.
Hence we need event__process_comm() to work with the tid rather
than the pid. It won't change anything for comm events coming
from the kernel but this will fix the synthetized ones.
Before:
$ ./perf report -D | grep COMM | grep firefox

Using the same scheme as for git's/perf's pager setup, i.e. if one
doesn't want to, on a newt enabled perf binary, to disable the TUI for
'perf report', its just a matter of doing:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# printf "[tui]\n\nreport = off\n" >
/root/.perfconfig
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# cat /root/.perfconfig
[tui]
report = off
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
System wide settings are also possible, by editing /etc/perfconfig, etc,
i.e. the git machinery for config files applies to perf as well, so when
in doubt where to put your settings, consult the git documentation, if
it fails, please let us know.

The FunctionFS gadget may provide the source/sink interface
not as the first interface (with id == 0) but some different
interface hence a code to find the interface number is
required.
(Note that you will still configure the gadget to report
idProduct == 0xa4a4 (an "echo 0xa4a4

implemented by the kernel driver. It can generate a variety

We were still using the pathname found on the MMAP event, that could not
be the one we used when recording, so use the build-id cache for that,
only falling back to use the pathname in the MMAP event if no build-ids
are available.
With this we now also are able to do secure, seamless offline annotation.

Accessing trace values of an 8 size may end up in a segfault
on archs that can't deal with misaligned access, which is the
case for sparc 64. This is because PERF_SAMPLE_RAW are aligned
to 4 and not to 8.
Fix this on the macros that get the values of 8 size.

It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat
to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale
support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for
instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this
feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be
changed. Here is an example.

To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:
bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.
With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.
Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.
This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.
Commiter note:
Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <-
(left arrow) to zoom out from the last filter applied.
It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu.
With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path,
by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key
to expand collapse callchains.

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.

The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period,
and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period
fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid
sampling artifacts.
Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost
fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped.
Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and
stop doing it again.

By default, event inheritance across fork and pthread_create was on but the -i
option of stat and record, which enabled inheritance, led to believe it was off
by default.
This patch fixes this logic by inverting the meaning of the -i option. By
default inheritance is on whether you attach to a process (-p), a thread (-t)
or start a process. If you pass -i, then you turn off inheritance. Turning off
inheritance if you don't need it, helps limit perf resource usage as well.
The patch also fixes perf stat -t xxxx and perf record -t xxxx which did not
start the counters.

Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.
Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.
The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

inside a trace event, treats every strings as if they were dynamic

FIELD_IS_STRING doesn't mean FIELD_IS_DYNAMIC, we only need to

In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.
While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.
Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.
The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

The current events reordering algorithm is based on a heuristic that
gets broken once we deal with a very fast flow of events.
Indeed the time period based flushing is not suitable anymore
in the following case, assuming we have a flush period of two
seconds.
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
cnt1 timestamps | cnt1 timestamps
|
0 | 0
1 | 1
2 | 2
3 | 3
[...] | [...]
4 seconds later
If we spend too much time to read the buffers (case of a lot of
events to record in each buffers or when we have a lot of CPU buffers
to read), in the next pass the CPU 0 buffer could contain a slice
of several seconds of events. We'll read them all and notice we've
reached the period to flush. In the above example we flush the first
half of the CPU 0 buffer, then we read the CPU 1 buffer where we
have events that were on the flush slice and then the reordering
fails.
It's simple to reproduce with:
perf lock record perf bench sched messaging
To solve this, we use a new solution that doesn't rely on an
heuristical time slice period anymore but on a deterministic basis
based on how perf record does its job.
perf record saves the buffers through passes. A pass is a tour
on every buffers from every CPUs. This is made in order: for
each CPU we read the buffers of every counters. So the more
buffers we visit, the later will be the timstamps of their events.
When perf record finishes a pass it records a
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event.
We record the max timestamp t found in the pass n. Assuming these
timestamps are monotonic across cpus, we know that if a buffer
still has events with timestamps below t, they will be all available
and then read in the pass n + 1.
Hence when we start to read the pass n + 2, we can safely flush every
events with timestamps below t.
============ PASS n =================
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps
1 | 2
2 | 3
- | 4 <--- max recorded
============ PASS n + 1 ==============
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps
3 | 5
4 | 6
5 | 7 <---- max recorded
Flush every events below timestamp 4
============ PASS n + 2 ==============
CPU 0 | CPU 1
|
cnt1 timestamps | cnt2 timestamps
6 | 8
7 | 9
- | 10
Flush every events below timestamp 7
etc...
It also works on perf.data versions that don't have
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo events. The difference is that
the events will be only flushed in the end of the perf.data
processing. It will then consume more memory and scale less with
large perf.data files.

In order to provide a more rubust and deterministic reordering
algorithm, we need to know when we reach a point where we just
did a pass through over every counter buffers to read every thing
they had.
This patch introduces a new PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND pseudo event
that only consist in an event header and doesn't need to contain
anything.

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:
0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.
Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.
This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.

Fix a couple of inefficiencies and redundancies related to
have_tracepoints() and its use when checking whether to write
TRACE_INFO.
First, there's no need to use get_tracepoints_path() in
have_tracepoints() - we really just want the part that checks whether
any attributes correspondo to tracepoints.
Second, we really don't care about raw_samples per se - tracepoints
are always raw_samples. In any case, the have_tracepoints() check
should be sufficient to decide whether or not to write TRACE_INFO.

On a large machine we spend a lot of time in perf_header__find_attr when
running perf report.
If we are parsing a file without PERF_SAMPLE_ID then for each sample we call
perf_header__find_attr and loop through all counter IDs, never finding a match.
As the machine gets larger there are more per cpu counters and we spend an
awful lot of time in there.
The patch below initialises each sample id to -1ULL and checks for this in
perf_header__find_attr. We may need to do something more intelligent eventually
(eg a hash lookup from counter id to attr) but this at least fixes the most
common usage of perf report.

The current perf code implicitly assumes SAMPLE_RAW means tracepoints
are being used, but doesn't check for that. It happily records the
TRACE_INFO even if SAMPLE_RAW is used without tracepoints, but when the
perf data is read it won't go any further when it finds TRACE_INFO but
no tracepoints, and displays misleading errors.
This adds a check for both in perf-record, and won't record TRACE_INFO
unless both are true. This at least allows perf report -D to dump raw
events, and avoids triggering a misleading error condition in perf
trace. It doesn't actually enable the non-tracepoint raw events to be
displayed in perf trace, since perf trace currently only deals with
tracepoint events.

Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:
perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.
Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

It doesn't really make sense to record the build ids at the end of a
live mode session - live mode samples need that information during the
trace rather than at the end.
Leave event__synthesize_build_id() in place, however; we'll still be
using that to synthesize build ids in a more timely fashion in a
future patch.

commit e9e94e3bd8
"perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in
/events/header_page" makes perf trace launching spurious warnings
about unexpected tokens read:
Warning: Error: expected type 6 but read 4
This change tries to handle the overcommit field in the header_page
file whenever this field is present or not.
The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it
and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually
dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure
abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description
line:
field: u64 timestamp; offset:0; size:8; signed:0;
field: local_t commit; offset:8; size:8; signed:1;
field: char data; offset:16; size:4080; signed:1;
^^^
Here
What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data
field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the
line.
We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we
don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace
ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf.
Just skip this part of perf.data, but don't remove it from recording
to stay compatible with olders perf.data

First an example with the first internal test:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was
successful.
If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings
for non-fatal problems:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:
--- start ---
Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it
Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols
Maps only in vmlinux:
ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text
ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0
ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn
ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1
ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2
Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms:
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0
ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as:
*ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
Maps only in kallsyms:
ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
---- end ----
vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$
In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
vmlinux.
The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
the vmlinux case.
The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
considers this fatal.
The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.
The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.
But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
/tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.
This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
together with comments about what is being done.
More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.

The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered
because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed
per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events
we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are
involved.
There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that:
- use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem)
But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on
record time.
- use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock)
The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well
with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use
(unusable with perf lock for example).
Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory
use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the
previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the
previous one most of the time).
This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility
to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to
get ordered sample events, it needs to set its
struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it.
This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to
use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own
reordering.
Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

The parse_single_tracepoint_event() was setting some attributes
before it validated the event was indeed a tracepoint event. This
caused problems with other initialization routines like in the
builtin-top.c module whereby sample_period is not set if not 0.

Previous state machine of perf lock was really broken.
This patch improves it a little.
This patch prepares the list of state machine that represents
lock sequences for each threads.
These state machines can be one of these sequences:
1) acquire -> acquired -> release
2) acquire -> contended -> acquired -> release
3) acquire (w/ try) -> release
4) acquire (w/ read) -> release
The case of 4) is a little special.
Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine
counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release.
But, things are not so simple. Something in my model is still wrong.
I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence,
and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279
version 2:
* threads are now identified with tid, not pid
* prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock.
* bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list
* debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday)
e.g.
| === output for debug===
|
| bad:233, total:2279
| bad rate:0.000000
| histogram of events caused bad sequence
| acquire: 165
| acquired: 0
| contended: 0
| release: 68

This adds mappings from the register numbers from DWARF to the
register names used in the PowerPC Regs and Stack Access API. This
allows perf probe to be used to record variable contents on PowerPC.
This requires the functionality represented by the config symbol
HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API in order to function, although it will
compile without it. That functionality is added for PowerPC in commit
359e4284 ("powerpc: Add kprobe-based event tracer").
