In each case, if the NULL test on thread is needed, then the
dereference should be after the NULL test.

A simplified version of the semantic match that detects this
problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/):

// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
identifier fld;

* x->fld
  ... when != \(x = E\|&x\)
* x == NULL

This librarizes the perf.data file mapping and handling in various
perf tools, roughly reducing the amount of code and fixing the
places that mmap from beginning of the file whereas we want to mmap
from the beginning of the data, leading to page fault because the
mmap window is too small since the trace info are written in the
file too.

This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.

This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.

A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.

That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.

But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

Currently, we are mapping perf.data in the beginning of the file
and use the data offset as a buffer offset.

This may exceed the mapping area if the data offset is upper than
page_size * mmap_window and result in a page fault (thing that
happen if we merge trace.info in perf.data).

Instead, let's start the mapping in the page that matches our data
offset.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!

In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.

Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.

All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)

The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.

Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.

User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

This patch has been generated via the following script:

  FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

  sed -i \
    -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
    -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
    -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
    -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
    -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
    $FILES

  for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
    M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
    mv $N $M
  done

  FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)

  sed -i \
    -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
    -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
    -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
    -e 's/counter/event/g' \
    -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
    $FILES

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.

Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.

( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
  with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
  over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
  in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
  better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
  instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

We started parsing perf.data at head 0. This caused -D to
segfault and it could possibly also case incorrect trace
entries to be displayed.

Parse it at data_offset instead.

The cmd-trace tool used the cmdline file and resolved the idle
thread using a hardcoded check for the 0 task pid.

Now we have a centralized way to do that from perf using

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.
