Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to
process IP sample events:

	int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self,
				     struct addr_location *al,
				     symbol_filter_t filter)

It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the
global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all
this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like
annotate and report can further process the event by creating
hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs,
etc).

It in turn uses the new next layer function:

	void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode,
					enum map_type type, u64 addr,
					struct addr_location *al,
					symbol_filter_t filter)

This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread
one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE
too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into
account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all
these details in the addr_location given.

Tools that need a more compact API for plain function
resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one:

	struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr,
					     symbol_filter_t filter)

So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool
needs, its just a matter of calling:

	sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL);

The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy
parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.

With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is
always good, huh? :-)

While implementing event__preprocess_sample, that will do all of
the symbol lookup in one convenient function, I noticed that
util/process_event.[ch] were not being used at all, then started
looking if there were other functions that could be shared
and...

All those functions really don't need to receive offset + head,
the only thing they did was common to all of them, so do it at
one place instead.

Stats about number of each type of event processed now is done
in a central place.

Making the routines that were so far specific to the kernel maps
useful for all threads.

This is done by making the kernel maps be contained in a kernel
"thread".

This gets the kernel specific routines closer to the userspace
counterparts, which will help in reducing the boilerplate for
resolving a symbol, as will be demonstrated in the next patches.

So that the kallsyms loading routines are the direct counterpart
of the vmlinux loading ones, i.e. dso__load_kallsyms is the
counterpart of dso__load_vmlinux.

In the process make them also use the symbols rb tree indexed by
map->type, paving the way for supporting other types of symtabs,
such as the next one to be supported: variables.

This also allowed removal of yet another global variable:
kernel_map__functions.

By using an array of rb_roots in struct dso we can, from a
struct map instance to get the right symbol rb_tree more easily.
This way we can have just one symbol lookup method for struct
map instances, map__find_symbol, instead of one per symtab type
(functions, variables).

Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the
defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the
desired configuration.

If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel
and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init()
first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the
subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.

 [util/header.o] Error 1

The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect
at the point where <asm/unistd.h> gets included, which means we
get extra stuff that we don't need or want.

This fixes the problem by undefining __KERNEL__ once we have
included the file for which we need __KERNEL__ defined.

Now that we can check the buildid to see if it really matches,
this can be done safely:

  vmlinux
  /boot/vmlinux
  /boot/vmlinux-<uts.release>
  /lib/modules/<uts.release>/build/vmlinux
  /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/%s/vmlinux

More can be added - if you know about distros that put the
vmlinux somewhere else please let us know.

Add the breakpoint events support with this new sysnopsis:

  mem:addr[:access]

Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be
either [r][w][x]

Example to profile tasklist_lock:

	$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
	ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock

	$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
	$ perf report

	     1.61%         events/0  [kernel]       [k] _raw_read_unlock

Coming soon:

 - Support for symbols in the event definition.

 - Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
   not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
   events.

gcc with no flags typically is a sane default for systems to
use, and looking at the running kernel is probably broken for
cross-builds anyway, so let's not do this.  Add EXTRA_CFLAGS so
that users can override default gcc mode if they want to.

The write_event() function in builtin-record.c writes out all
mmap()'d DSOs including non-ELF files like GNOME resource files
and such.

Therefore, check for ELF_K_ELF in filename__read_build_id()
before attempting to read the ELF header with gelf_getehdr().

Fixes the following error messages when running "perf kmem
record":

  penberg@penberg-laptop:~/src/linux/tools/perf$ perf kmem record
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.753 MB perf.data (~32885 samples) ]

This patch adds support for "--sort hit" and "--sort frag" to
the "perf kmem" tool. The former was already mentioned in the
help text and the latter is useful for finding call-sites that
exhibit worst case behavior for SLAB allocators.

mem-memcpy.c uses perf event system calls to obtain CPU clocks.
And it suddenly dies with BUG_ON() when it running on Linux
doesn't support perf event.

Also fail at calloc() can occur easily when too large
length is passed. Fail of calloc() causes sudden death
with assert().

These behaviours are not friendly. So I fixed the treating of
errors.

It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -R -a -f sleep 3s ;
perf trace [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.182 MB perf.data (~7972 samples) ]
Fatal: not an trace data file
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

That is what is expected, right? I.e. as we didn't specify any
tracepoint event via -e, it should gracefully bail out and not
SEGFAULT.
