Use the new db_export facility to export data in a database-friendly
way.

A Python script selects the db_export mode by setting a global variable
'perf_db_export_mode' to True.  The script then optionally implements
functions to receive table rows.  The functions are:

	evsel_table
	machine_table
	thread_table
	comm_table
	dso_table
	symbol_table
	sample_table

An example script is provided in a subsequent patch.

[ Reserve space for per symbol db_id space when perf_db_export_mode is on ]
Signed-off-by: NArnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

This patch introduces an abstraction for exporting sample data in a
database-friendly way.  The abstraction does not implement the actual
output.  A subsequent patch takes this facility into use for extending
the script interface.

The abstraction is needed because static data like symbols, dsos, comms
etc need to be exported only once.  That means allocating them a unique
identifier and recording it on each structure.  The member 'db_id' is
used for that.  'db_id' is just a 64-bit sequence number.

Exporting centres around the db_export__sample() function which exports
the associated data structures if they have not yet been allocated a
db_id.

'perf record' post-processes the event stream  to create a list of
build-ids for object files for which sample events have been recorded.
That results in those object files being recorded in the build-id cache.

In the case of VDSO, perf tools reads it from memory and copies it into
a temporary file, which as decribed above, gets added to the build-id
cache.

Then when the perf.data file is processed by other tools, the build-id
of VDSO is listed in the perf.data file and the VDSO can be read from
the build-id cache.  In that case the name of the map, the short name of
the DSO, and the entry in the build-id cache are all "[vdso]".

However, in the 64-bit case, there also can be 32-bit compatibility
VDSOs.

A previous patch added programs "perf-read-vdso32" and "perf
read-vdsox32".

This patch uses those programs to read the correct VDSO for a thread and
create a temporary file just as for the 64-bit VDSO.

The map name and the entry in the build-id cache are still "[vdso]" but
the DSO short name becomes "[vdso32]" and "[vdsox32]" respectively.

perf tools copy VDSO out of memory.  However, on 64-bit machines there
may be 32-bit compatibility VDOs also.  To copy those requires separate
32-bit executables.

This patch adds to the build additional programs perf-read-vdso32 and
perf-read-vdsox32 for 32-bit and x32 respectively.

This patch ensures write_cpudesc() and write_total_mem() return negative number

error in some platform. Following output is caputured on ARM, which doesn't

We were setting this only in machine__init(), i.e. for the map_groups that
holds the kernel module maps, not for the one used for a thread's executable
mmaps.

Now we are sure that we can obtain the machine where a thread is by going
via thread->mg->machine, thus we can, in the following patch, make all
codepaths that receive machine _and_ thread, drop the machine one.

After kernel 3.7 (commit b4b8f770),
/proc/cpuinfo replaces 'Processor' to 'model name'.

This patch makes CPUINFO_PROC to an array and provides two choices for
ARM, makes it compatible for different kernel version.

v1 -> v2: minor changes as suggested by Namhyung Kim:

 - Doesn't pass @h and @evlist to __write_cpudesc;
 - Coding style fix.

The libunwind provides two caching policy which are global and
per-thread.  As perf unwinds callchains in a single thread, it'd
sufficient to use global caching.

This speeds up my perf report from 14s to 7s on a ~260MB data file.
Although the output sometimes contains a slight difference (~0.01% in
terms of number of lines printed) on callchains which were not resolved.

that is inside 'struct perf_evsel'.

When processing events the session code has an ordered samples queue
which is used to time-sort events coming in across multiple mmaps. At a
later point in time samples on the queue are flushed up to some
timestamp at which point the event is actually processed.

When analyzing events live (ie., record/analysis path in the same
command) there is a race that leads to corrupted events and parse errors
which cause perf to terminate. The problem is that when the event is
placed in the ordered samples queue it is only a reference to the event
which is really sitting in the mmap buffer. Even though the event is
queued for later processing the mmap tail pointer is updated which
indicates to the kernel that the event has been processed. The race is
flushing the event from the queue before it gets overwritten by some
other event. For commands trying to process events live (versus just
writing to a file) and processing a high rate of events this leads to
parse failures and perf terminates.

Examples hitting this problem are 'perf kvm stat live', especially with
nested VMs which generate 100,000+ traces per second, and a command
processing scheduling events with a high rate of context switching --
e.g., running 'perf bench sched pipe'.

This patch offers live commands an option to copy the event when it is
placed in the ordered samples queue.

The unw_addr_space_t in libunwind represents an address space to be used
for stack unwinding.  It doesn't need to be create/destory everytime to
unwind callchain (as in get_entries) and can have a same lifetime as
thread (unless exec called).

So move the address space construction/destruction logic to the thread
lifetime handling functions.  This is a preparation to enable caching in
the unwind library.

Note that it saves unw_addr_space_t object using thread__set_priv().  It
seems currently only used by perf trace and perf kvm stat commands which
don't use callchain.

Add new rules for kernel PMU event.

Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as "a-b" and
"a".

event_pmu:
PE_KERNEL_PMU_EVENT sep_dc
|
PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE '-' PE_PMU_EVENT_SUF sep_dc

PE_KERNEL_PMU_EVENT token is for
cycles-ct/cycles-t/mem-loads/mem-stores.

The prefix cycles is mixed up with cpu-cycles.  loads and stores are
mixed up with cache event So they have to be hardcode in lex.

PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE and PE_PMU_EVENT_SUF tokens are for other PMU events.

The lex looks generic identifier up in the table and return the matched
token. If there is no match, generic PE_NAME token will be return.

Using the rules, kernel PMU event could use new style format without //

so you can use:

  perf record -e mem-loads ...

instead of:

  perf record -e cpu/mem-loads/

There are two types of event formats for PMU events. E.g. el-abort OR
cpu/el-abort/. However, the lexer mistakenly recognizes the simple style
format as two events.

The parse_events_pmu_check function uses bsearch to search the name in
known pmu event list. It can tell the lexer that the name is a PE_NAME
or a PMU event name prefix or a PMU event name suffix. All these
information will be used for accurately parsing kernel PMU events.

The pmu events list will be read from sysfs at runtime.

Note: Currently, the patch only want to handle the PMU event name as
"a-b" and "a". The only exception, "stalled-cycles-frontend" and
"stalled-cycles-fronted", are already hardcoded in lexer.

This reverts commit 50e200f0 ("perf tools: Default to cpu// for
events v5")

The fixup cannot handle the case that
new style format(which without //) mixed with
other different formats.

For example,
group events with new style format: {mem-stores,mem-loads}
some hardware event + new style event: cycles,mem-loads
Cache event + new style event: LLC-loads,mem-loads
Raw event + new style event:
cpu/event=0xc8,umask=0x08/,mem-loads
old style event and new stytle mixture: mem-stores,cpu/mem-loads/

To follow vm_area_struct->vm_end convention.

By adhering to the convention that ->end is the first address outside
the symbol's range we can do things like:

	sym->end = start + len;
	len = sym->end - sym->start;

This is also now the convention used for struct map->end, fixing some
off-by-one bugs.

When synthesizing maps from files that have incomplete symbol
information, like kallsyms, we need to fixup the end of maps by seting
its end from the ->start of the next map, fix it to set prev_map->end to
curr_map->start, since ->end is the first byte outside prev_map address
range.

This patch fixes off-by-one errors in the management of maps.

A map is defined by start address and length as implemented by
map__new():

  map__init(map, type, start, start + len, pgoff, dso);

  map->start = addr;
  map->end = end;

Consequently, the actual address range is [start; end[ map->end is the
first byte outside the range.

This patch fixes two bugs where upper bound checking was off-by-one.

In V2, we fix map_groups__fixup_overlappings() some more where
map->start was off-by-one as reported by Jiri.

A segfault happens on 'perf test hists_link' because we end up using a
struct machines on the stack, and then machines__init() was not
initializing the newly introduced rb_root, just the existing list_head.

When we introduced struct dsos, to group the two ways to store dsos,
i.e. the linked list and the rbtree, we didn't turned the initialization
done in:

	machines__init(machines->host) ->
		machine__init() ->
			INIT_LIST_HEAD

into a dsos__init() to keep on initializing the list_head but _as well_
initializing the rb_root, oops.

All worked because outside perf-test we probably zalloc the whole thing
which ends up initializing it in to NULL.

So the problem looks contained to 'perf test' that uses it on stack,
etc.
