This patch adds support for profiling JIT generated code to 'perf
report'. A JIT compiler is required to generate a "/tmp/perf-$PID.map"
symbols map that is parsed when looking and displaying symbols.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his help with this patch!

Some JIT compilers allocate memory for generated code with
posix_memalign() + mprotect() so we need to hook into mprotect()
to make sure 'perf' is aware that we're executing code in
anonymous memory.

The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have
been read in the mapped perfcounter files.

Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the
snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be
displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate.

Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before
"print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this
value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it.
Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the
first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is
tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a
minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case
of high samples filters.

Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default
case.

Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.

The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.

The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
tools can pick it up automatically.

Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
method.

This is a 3-dimensional space:

       { L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
       { load, store, prefetch } x
       { accesses, misses }

User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
combination makes sense.)

Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.

Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
both valid aliases.

( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
  and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.

Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.

Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
all around counter attribute management.

The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).

(This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
(PowerPC build-tested.)

If perf top is executed with a zero value for the refresh rate,
we get a division by zero exception while computing samples_per_sec.

Also a zero refresh rate is not possible, neither do we want to
accept negative values.

[ Impact: fix division by zero in perf top ]

To allow the debugging of frequency-adjusting counters, sample
those adjustments and display them in perf report -D.

In order to allow easy tracking of the period, also provide means of

The purpose of PERF_SAMPLE_CONFIG was to identify the counters,
since then we've added counter ids, use those instead.

Turns out that neither PowerPC nor older x86 compilers know this switch
...

and since it does not make a measurable difference, just omit it.

A number of places said 'events' while they should say 'samples'.

    15.23%  two_op

After:

    25.96%  [k] copy_user_generic_string
    15.23%  [.] two_op
    15.19%  [.] one_op
     6.92%  [.] enough_duration
     1.23%  [k] alloc_pages_current
     1.14%  [k] acpi_os_read_port
     1.08%  [k] _spin_lock

The '[k]' differentiator is a quick clue that it's a kernel symbol,
without having to bring in the full dso column.
