The ftrace event format parser handles the usual casts but not
the cast to pointers. Such casts have been introduced recently
with the module trace events and raise the following parsing
error:

	Fatal: bad op token )

This is because it considers the "*" character as a binary
operator. Make it then aware of casts to pointers.

You can enable a counter's PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in two
fashions:

- using the -R option (every counters get PERF_SAMPLE_RAW)
- using the :record suffix in a trace event counter name

Currently we record the events info in a trace.info file from
perf record when the former method is used but we omit it with
the latter.

Check both situations.

This adds perf trace into the set of perf tools.

It is written to fetch the tracepoint samples from perf events
and display them, according to the events information given by
the debugfs files through the util/trace* tools.

It is a rough first shot and doesn't yet handle the cpu,
timestamps fields and some other things.

Example:

 perf record -f -e workqueue:workqueue_execution:record -F 1 -a
 perf trace

Librarize trace_event() helper so that perf trace can use it
too. Also clean up the debug.h includes a bit.

It's not good to have it included in perf.h because it doesn't
make it flexible against other headers it may need (headers
that can also depend on perf.h and then create a recursive
header dependency).

The soon coming perf trace needs to use printf with dynamically
built formats.

But we are using -Wformat=2 which is a shortcut for the
following set: -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k
-Wformat-nonliteral

-Wformat-nonliteral warns when it can't check formats because
they are not builtin constant strings, but we want to feature
dynamic formats. What we want instead is Wformat=2 minus
-Wformat-nonliteral, which is what this patch does.

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.

So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:

 -Wcast-align
 -Wformat=2
 -Wshadow
 -Winit-self
 -Wpacked
 -Wredundant-decls
 -Wstack-protector
 -Wstrict-aliasing=3
 -Wswitch-default
 -Wswitch-enum
 -Wno-system-headers
 -Wundef
 -Wvolatile-register-var
 -Wwrite-strings
 -Wbad-function-cast
 -Wmissing-declarations
 -Wmissing-prototypes
 -Wnested-externs
 -Wold-style-definition
 -Wstrict-prototypes
 -Wdeclaration-after-statement

And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.

The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.

I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.

If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)

I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.

I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.

[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
  compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
  produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

Add a new flag field while opening a tracepoint perf counter:

	-e tracepoint_subsystem:tracepoint_name:flags

This is intended to be generic although for now it only supports the
r[e[c[o[r[d]]]]] flag:

	./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:record
	./perf record -e workqueue:workqueue_insertion:r

will have the same effect: enabling the raw samples record for
the given tracepoint counter.

In the future, we may want to support further flags, separated
by commas.

It is better than showing the map addr, this way at least we
know that we can't get the symtabs because the DSO was deleted
(system update) while an app still used such DSO.

Yeah, don't do that, but if you do, you'll figure it out
quicker this way.

Noticed when trying to record events for a firefox thread. We
were synthesizing both .tid and .pid with the pid passed via
--pid.

Fix it by reading /proc/PID/status and getting the tgid
to use in .pid, .tid gets the specified "pid".

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.

Say you launched:

 perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
 perf report -g fractal,10.0

And you got:

2.33%       hackbench  [kernel]                  [k] _spin_lock_irqsave
                |
                |--78.57%-- remove_wait_queue
                |          poll_freewait
                |          do_sys_poll
                |          sys_poll
                |          sysenter_dispatch
                |          0xf7ffa430
                |          0x1ffadea3c
                |
                |--7.14%-- __up_read
                |          up_read
                |          do_page_fault
                |          page_fault
                |          0xf7ffa430
                |          0xa0df710000000a
                ...

It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.

The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:

  limit = 4 * 0.9;

The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%

We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.

Improve and fix the handling of per-thread counter stats
recorded via perf record -s. Previously we only displayed
it in debug printouts (-D) and even that output was hard
to disambiguate.

I moved everything to utils/values.[ch] so that we may reuse
it in perf stat.

We get something like this now:

 #  PID   TID  cache-misses  cache-references
   4658  4659        495581           3238779
   4658  4662        498246           3236823
   4658  4663        499531           3243162

Then it'll be easy to add --pretty=raw to display a single line per thread/event.

By the way, -S was also used for --symbol... So I used -T/--thread here.

perf report: Add -T/--threads to display per-thread counter values

 We get something like this now:
 #  PID   TID  cache-misses  cache-references
   4658  4659        495581           3238779
   4658  4662        498246           3236823
   4658  4663        499531           3243162

perf tools: callchain: Fix sum of percentages to be 100% by displaying amount of ignored chains in fractal mode

When we filter the callchains below a given percentage, we
ignore them and the end result only shows entries that have an
upper percentage than the filter threshold.

It seems to users then that we have an imbalance in the
percentage, as if the sum inside a profiled branch doesn't
reach 100%.

Since in the past there have been real perf report bugs that
showed the same sypmtom, it would be nice to assure the user
that the data is perfect and trustable and it all sums up to
100.00%.

So fix this by displaying the remaining hits that have been
filtered but without more detail than their amount in each
branches. Example while filtering below 50%:

7.73%  [k] delay_tsc

If we recorded with -g option to record the callchain, right now
we require a -g option to perf report as well - and people reported
this as unnecessary complication: the user already specified -g
once, no need to require it a second time.

So if the recording includes call-chains, display the callchain by
default from perf report.

( The user can override this default using "-g none" option from
  perf report. )

When the callchain tree comes to insert an empty backtrace, it
raises a spurious warning about the fact we are inserting an
empty. This is spurious because the radix tree assumes it did
something wrong to reach this state. But it didn't, we just met
an empty callchain that has to be ignored.

This happens occasionally with certain types of call-chain
recordings. If it happens it's a big nuisance as perf report
output starts with thousands of warning lines.

1. Ignore the -A argument if there is no perf.data file
2. Treat an empty file like a non existent file.

Else, perf will try to read the perf.data header, and fail with
an error.

Treating an empty file like a non-existent file makes sense,
since an interupted (as in SIGKILLed) perf could leave such
files around, and you don't want to annoy the user with errors
for files with no data in it.

While toying with perf, I've noticed that perf record can
easily enter a busy loop when doing something as silly as:

Yeah, do_read here really wants to read a known size, not being
able to should die(), not busy-loop ;)

That was the cause for the bug.
