Caching dso data file descriptors to avoid expensive re-opens
especially during DWARF unwind.

We keep dsos data file descriptors open until their count reaches
the half of the current fd open limit (RLIMIT_NOFILE). In this case
we close file descriptor of the first opened dso object.

We've got overall speedup (~27% for my workload) of report:
 'perf report --stdio -i perf-test.data' (3 runs)
  (perf-test.data size was around 12GB)

When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user
specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no
default value.  This worked because most of events don't have default
value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not
desirable to change it for those events).

However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it
cannot change the value for those events.  Fix it by allowing override
the default value if user gives one of the options.

Improve error messages of 'perf probe --line' mode.

Currently 'perf probe' shows the "Debuginfo analysis failed" message with
an error code when the given symbol is not found:

  -----
  # perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
  Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  -----

But -2 (-ENOENT) means that the given source line or function was not
found. With this patch, 'perf probe' shows the correct error message:

  -----
  # perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
  Specified source line is not found.
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  -----

There is also another debug error code is shown in the same function
after get_real_path(). This removes that too.

Fix an error message when failed to find given address in --vars
mode.

Without this fix, perf probe -V doesn't show the final "Error"
message if it fails to find given source line. Moreover, it
tells it fails to find "variables" instead of the source line.
  -----
  # perf probe -V foo@bar
  Failed to find variables at foo@bar (0)
  -----
The result also shows mysterious error code. Actually the error
returns 0 or -ENOENT means that it just fails to find the address
of given source line. (0 means there is no matching address,
and -ENOENT means there is an entry(DIE) but it has no instance,
e.g. an empty inlined function)

This fixes it to show what happened and the final error message
as below.

Show error code and description only in verbose mode if 'perf probe'
command failed.

Current 'perf probe' shows error code with final error message, and that
is meaningless for many users.

This changes error messages to show the error code and its description
only in verbose mode (-v option).

Without this patch:
  -----
  # perf probe -a do_execve@hoge
  Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events. (-2)

number:
  -----
  # perf probe -a do_execve@hoge
  Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

And in verbose mode, it also shows additional error messages as below:

Improve the error message if we can not find given member in the given

  result(type:filename) has no member BOGUS.
  Failed to find 'result' in this function.

The first message is correct, but the second one is not, since we didn't

In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a
particular sample instruction.  A bunch of those details relate to the data
address.

One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique
cacheline they belong too.  Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting
them can reveal cache contention.

This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group
entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it.

The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine
if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared.

The alogortithm is as follows:

o group cpumodes together
o group entries with discovered maps together
o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers
o if userspace anon, then sort on pid
o sort on cachelines based on data addresses

The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'.

Sample output:

 #
 # Samples: 206  of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp'
 # Total weight : 2534
 # Sort order   : dcacheline,pid
 #
 # Overhead       Samples                                                          Data Cacheline       Command:  Pid

This reverts commit 3090ffb5.

Re-enable the mmap2 interface as we will have a user soon.

Since things have changed since perf disabled mmap2, small tweaks
to the revert had to be done:

o commit 9d4ecc88 forced (n!=8) to become (n<7)
o a new libunwind test needed updating to use mmap2 interface

With the Sebastian's change of handling num array argument (of raw
syscall enter), the script still failed to work like this:

  $ perf record -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
  $ perf script -g python
  $ perf script -s perf-script.py
  ...
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "perf-script.py", line 42, in raw_syscalls__sys_enter
      (id, args),
  TypeError: %u format: a number is required, not list
  Fatal Python error: problem in Python trace event handler
  Aborted (core dumped)

This is because the generated script tries to print the array arg as
unsigned integer (%u).  Since the python seems to convert arguments to
strings by default, just using %s solved the problem for me.

Following hunk reversed the logic:
  -       if (!inject->pipe_output)
  +       if (&inject->output.is_pipe)

putting it back, following example now works:
  $ perf record -o - kill | perf inject -b | perf report -i -

Coming in v3.16, trace events will be able to save bitmasks in raw
format in the ring buffer and output it with the __get_bitmask() macro.

In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle
the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in
the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to
what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every
4 bytes (8 characters).

This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently.

The first user is the thermal:thermal_power_limit event which has the
following output:

 thermal_power_limit:  cpus=0000000f freq=1900000 cdev_state=0 power=5252

Add the options "parent" and "indent" to the function plugin.

When parent is set, the output looks like this:

function:             add_to_page_cache_lru <-- do_read_cache_page

When it's not set, it looks like:

The traceevent plugins allows developers to have their events print out
information that is more advanced than what can be achieved by the
trace event format files.

As these plugins are used on the userspace side of the tracing tools, it
is only logical that the tools should be able to produce different types
of output for the events. The types of events still need to be defined by
the plugins thus we need a way to pass information from the tool to the
plugin to specify what type of information to be shown.

Not only does the information need to be passed by the tool to plugin, but
the plugin also requires a way to notify the tool of what options it can
provide.

This builds the plugin option infrastructure that is taken from trace-cmd
that is used to allow plugins to produce different output based on the
options specified by the tool.

Add a flag to pevent that will let the callers be able to set it and
keep the system, and perhaps even normal plugins from being loaded.

This is useful when plugins might hide certain information and seeing
the raw events shows what may be going on.

perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings,
which generally works.  However, there are other potential use-cases.
For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch
events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process
has exec'd.  Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens
it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim
(e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME).  This patch adds a flag to the comm event
to differentiate one case from the other.

In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a
selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr.  The
bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit
is set on kernels that do not have it defined.
