perf stat has a --delay option to delay measuring the workload.
This is useful to skip measuring the startup phase of the program, which
is often very different from the main workload.
The same is useful for perf record when sampling.
--no-delay was already taken, so add a --initial-delay
to perf record too.
-D was already taken for record, so there is only a long option.

So this option allows -t/-p/-u to create one buffer per cpu and attach

As opposed to the current state where each such counter would have its

When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a
long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if
the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large,
like a Gbyte or so.
The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127).
This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are
most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not
looked at.
This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing
stack information with faster speed.
The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a
perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes.

Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup
with:
perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string'
or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code.
In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it
will be preferred.
This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the
/proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not
populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence.
As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once
and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf
trace' of any other tool.

kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However,
kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel
decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a
copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique
for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files
are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory:
~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh>
which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules.
Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the
kcore_copy() function for how that is determined.
The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already
one with the same modules at the same addresses.
Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is
addressed in another patch.

The various build lines from libtraceevent and perf mix up during a
parallel build and produce unaligned output like:
CC builtin-buildid-list.o
CC builtin-buildid-cache.o

CC builtin-record.o
CC FPIC parse-filter.o

CC builtin-probe.o
CC builtin-kmem.o
CC builtin-lock.o
To solve this, harmonize all the build message alignments to be similar
to the kernel's kbuild output: prefixed by two spaces and 11-char wide.
After the patch the output looks pretty tidy, even if output lines get
mixed up:

While perf-lock currently reports both the total wait time and the
number of contentions, it doesn't explicitly show the average wait time.
Having this value immediately in the report can be quite useful when
looking into performance issues.
Furthermore, allowing report to sort by averages is another handy
feature to have - and thus do not only print the value, but add it to
the lock_stat structure.

Linus reported the following perf build system bug:
'Another annoyance during that make was that "make install" seems to
want to re-make the thing I just built. That's absolutely horrible, [...]'
The thing that got re-built were 'only' the (numerous) feature checks,
not the whole project - but still it was mighty annoying as the feature
checks took 9+ seconds even on reasonably fast boxes.
Even with the autodep patches where feature detection is much faster
it wastes resources, wastes screen real estate and confuses users if
we execute feature detection twice.
There were two sources for these unnecessary re-builds of the feature
checks:
- Unnecessary nested invocations of $(MAKE), apparently to be able
to do conditional compilation dependent on documentation tools
presence. Use straight dependencies instead, with no nesting.
- A direct invocation of $(MAKE) to rebuild the PERF-VERSION-FILE.
This is apparently done to be able to include it into the
Makefile:
-include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE
but that's entirely pointless for two reasons: 1) the version file
gets regenerated by the initial build pass anyway, 2) including it
is futile, given its contents:
#define PERF_VERSION "3.12.rc3.g8510c7"
'make' will interpret that as a comment line...
So just remove this part of the doc-generation logic.
With these things fixed a 'make install' now rebuilds only what is needed.
A repeated 'make install' on an already built tree is super fast now,
it finishes in under 0.3 seconds:
#
# After the patch:
#
$ time make install
...
real 0m0.280s
user 0m0.162s
sys 0m0.054s
Prior all the autodep changes and prior this fix, a repeat 'make install'
took 24.1 seconds (!) on the same system:
#
# Before the patches:
#
$ time make install
...
real 0m24.109s
user 0m21.171s
sys 0m2.449s
Which almost entirely was caused by fixable build system fat.
We are now literally ~86 times faster.
A fresh rebuild and install now takes just 11.4 seconds:
#
# After the patch:
#
$ make clean
$ time make -j16 install
...
real 0m11.457s
user 1m43.411s
sys 0m7.610s
Without the patches it took 27.8 seconds:
#
# Before the patches:
#
$ make clean
$ time make -j16 install
...
real 0m27.801s
user 1m59.242s
sys 0m9.749s
So even in the complete rebuild case we are now ~2.5 times faster.
