Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since
powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as
described here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638

"The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function,
both global and local entry points."
...
"If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up
the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other
bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point,
and what its offset from the global entry point is.  Note that GDB does
the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry."

Allow perf probe to work on ppc ABIv1 without the need to specify the
leading dot '.' for functions. 'perf probe do_fork' works with this
patch.

We do this by changing how symbol name comparison works on ppc ABIv1 -
we simply ignore and skip over the initial dot, if one exists, during
symbol name comparison.

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up
properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses:

  # perf probe do_fork
  Added new event:
    probe:do_fork        (on do_fork)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:probe/do_fork _text+635952
  # printf "%x" 635952
  9b430
  # grep do_fork /boot/System.map
  c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:

  struct parse_events_error {
    int   idx;
    char *str;
    char *help;
  };

where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.

The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:

  $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint
  ...

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
  event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
                           \___ unknown term

  valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
  ...

  $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
  event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
                                 \___ parser error
  ...

The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

Instruction tracing will typically have access to information about the
instruction being executed for a particular ip sample.  Some of that
information will be available in the 'flags' member of struct
perf_sample.

With the addition of transactions events synthesis to Instruction
Tracing options, there is a need to be able easily to see the flags
because they show whether the ip is at the start, commit or abort of a
tranasaction.

Consequently add an option to display the flags.

The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return,
conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort, trace
begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively.

Example using Intel PT:

perf script -fip,time,event,sym,addr,flags

There is one queue for each of the mmap buffers that were used for

It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for
consumption by other tools.

At this time, the main use of AUX area tracing will be to capture
instruction trace (aka processor trace) data.

The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of
options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be
added as needed.

Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize
events transparently to the tools.

The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used
directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is
easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding
tool.

This will work as follows:

1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using
   perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come).

2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due
   to the auxtrace->process_event() hook.

3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the
   event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event().

Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is
time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that
were recorded.

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.

This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.

Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.

Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

Add two user events for AUX area tracing.

PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO contains metadata, consisting primarily the
type of the AUX area tracing data plus some amount of
architecture-specific information.  There should be only one
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO event.

PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE identifies AUX area tracing data copied from the
mmapped AUX area tracing region.  The actual data is not part of the
event but immediately follows it.

This patch supports the addition to the kernel of AUX area buffers that
can be mmapped separately from the perf-events buffer.

The AUX buffer can be configured to contain hardware-produced trace
information. The first implementation will support Intel BTS and Intel
PT.

One auxtrace buffer is mmapped per perf-events buffer.  If the requested
auxtrace buffer size is zero, which it will be until further support is
added, then no auxtrace mmapping is attempted.

When converting int values, perf first extractes it to a ulonglong, then
feeds it to babeltrace as a signed value.

For negative 32 bit values (for example, return values of failed
syscalls), the extracted data should be something like 0xfffffffe (-2).
It becomes a large int64 value.

Babeltrace denies to insert it with bt_ctf_field_signed_integer_set_value()
because it is larger than 0x7fffffff, the largest positive value a
 32 bit int can be.

This patch introduces adjust_signedness(), which fills high bits of
ulonglong with 1 if the value is negative.

Some parameters of syscall tracepoints named as 'nr', 'event', etc.
When dealing with them, perf convert to ctf meets some problem:

 1. If a parameter with name 'nr', it will duplicate syscall's
    common field 'nr'. One such syscall is io_submit().

 2. If a parameter with name 'event', it is denied to be inserted
    because 'event' is a CTF spec keyword[1]. One such syscall is
    epoll_ctl.

This patch appends '_dupl_X' suffix to avoid problem 1, prepend a '_'
prefix to avoid problem 2.

For big data files the size of data allocated for stream instance could
get really high. It's needed to flush the data out of the stream once in
a while.

Unfortunately there's no size indication in the stream object, so we
govern the flush based on the number of stored events. Current flush
limit is set ot 100000 events.

Currently we store the data into single data strea/file. The cpu if data
is stored within the event sample. The lttng puts the CPU number that
belongs to the event into the packet context instead into the event.

This patch makes sure that the trace produce by perf does look the same
way. We now use one stream per-CPU. Having it all in one stream
increased the total size of the resulting file. The test went from
416KiB (with perf_cpu event member) to 24MiB due to the required (and
pointless) flush. With the per-cpu streams the total size went up to
588KiB.

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.

Can be reproduced as following:

  $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
  [ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp

After this patch:

  $ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
  Added new event:
  probe:_stext         (on @fs/super.c)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
