Parameter --pid (or -p) of perf currently means a thread-wide
collection. For exmaple, if a process whose id is 8888 has 10
threads, 'perf top -p 8888' just collects the main thread
statistics. That's misleading. Users are used to attach a whole
process when debugging a process by gdb. To follow normal usage
style, the patch change --pid to process-wide collection and add
--tid (-t) to mean a thread-wide collection.

Usage example is:

 # perf top -p 8888
 # perf record -p 8888 -f sleep 10
 # perf stat -p 8888 -f sleep 10

Above commands collect the statistics of all threads of process
8888.

When profiling C++ workloads the symbol name length can be
really big, so cap it before it garbles the result.

This builds upon the autosizing already present where we choose
to use the short, basename of DSOs instead of its long, full

Before this patch this message would very briefly appear on the
screen and then the screen would get updates only on the top,
for number of interrupts received, etc, but no annotation would
be performed:

 [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write > /tmp/bla
 objdump: '[kernel.kallsyms]': No such file

Now this is what the user gets:

 [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write
 Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
 path: [0] vmlinux

This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for

At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1.  These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.

This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely.  For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.

This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online.  The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus.  If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].

The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.

so that annotation can work for in these cases.

First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was
fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being
wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no
conversion needed, but in

   src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16);
   src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff

we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and
then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are
approximately close for small programs.

Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no
matching with real runtime IPs.

And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with
non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address
conversion wrong.

Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does
annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new
helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced.

(*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of
    hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's
    better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion
    at runtime.

I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded
8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos
with small addresses like '4ac')

Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated
IPs, e.g. look at source lines here:

    000004ac <my_strlen>:
    extern "C"
    int my_strlen(const char *s)
     4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
     4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {
        int len = 0;
     4b2:   c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00    movl   $0x0,-0x4(%ebp)
     4b9:   eb 08                   jmp    4c3 <my_strlen+0x17>

        while (*s) {
            ++len;
     4bb:   83 45 fc 01             addl   $0x1,-0x4(%ebp)
            ++s;
     4bf:   83 45 08 01             addl   $0x1,0x8(%ebp)

So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate
lookup code.

By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can
automatically load vmlinux.

The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate
option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded
until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's
not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in
symbol_filter().

So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we
know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done.

By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't
annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes.

As we do lazy loading of symtabs we only will know if the
specified vmlinux file is invalid when we actually have a hit in
kernel space and then try to load it. So if we get kernel hits
and there are _no_ symbols in the DSO backing the kernel map,
bail out.

We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules,
even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense
when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same
machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at
all, right Peter? ;-)

Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long
path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we
did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking
about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use
.{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so
that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right
away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we
did in the past (and now only in perf record).

One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally
be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
here.

Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to
process IP sample events:

	int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self,
				     struct addr_location *al,
				     symbol_filter_t filter)

It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the
global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all
this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like
annotate and report can further process the event by creating
hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs,
etc).

It in turn uses the new next layer function:

	void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode,
					enum map_type type, u64 addr,
					struct addr_location *al,
					symbol_filter_t filter)

This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread
one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE
too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into
account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all
these details in the addr_location given.

Tools that need a more compact API for plain function
resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one:

	struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr,
					     symbol_filter_t filter)

So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool
needs, its just a matter of calling:

	sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL);

The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy
parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.

With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is
always good, huh? :-)

While implementing event__preprocess_sample, that will do all of
the symbol lookup in one convenient function, I noticed that
util/process_event.[ch] were not being used at all, then started
looking if there were other functions that could be shared
and...

All those functions really don't need to receive offset + head,
the only thing they did was common to all of them, so do it at
one place instead.

Stats about number of each type of event processed now is done
in a central place.

Making the routines that were so far specific to the kernel maps
useful for all threads.

This is done by making the kernel maps be contained in a kernel
"thread".

This gets the kernel specific routines closer to the userspace
counterparts, which will help in reducing the boilerplate for
resolving a symbol, as will be demonstrated in the next patches.

By using an array of rb_roots in struct dso we can, from a
struct map instance to get the right symbol rb_tree more easily.
This way we can have just one symbol lookup method for struct
map instances, map__find_symbol, instead of one per symtab type
(functions, variables).

And also express its configuration toggles via a struct.

Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the
defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the
desired configuration.

If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel
and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init()
first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the
subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.

Ingo found it confusing, and I agree with that, for 'perf
report' its OK because it is static, but for a tool refreshing
it the eventual switch from column to summary at the top may
seem confusing.

Now that we can check the buildid to see if it really matches,
this can be done safely:

  vmlinux
  /boot/vmlinux
  /boot/vmlinux-<uts.release>
  /lib/modules/<uts.release>/build/vmlinux
  /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/%s/vmlinux

Just like we do with the other DSOs. This also simplifies the
kernel_maps setup process, now all that the tools need to do is
to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and
kernel will be created, then, later, when
kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call
maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded,
loading it if needed.

Now if one does 'perf top --hide_kernel_symbols' we won't pay
the price of loading the (many) symbols in /proc/kallsyms or
vmlinux.

It should just load kernel symbols, not load the list of
modules. There are more stuff to move to other routines, but
lets do it in several steps.

End goal is to be able to defer symbol table loading till we
find a hit for that map address range. So that the kernel &
modules are handled just like all the other DSOs in the system.

Several refactorings were needed so that we can have symmetry
between dsos__load_modules() and dsos__load_kernel(), i.e. those
functions will respectively create and add to the dsos list the
loaded modules and kernel, with its buildids, but not load its
symbols. That is something the subcomands that need will have to
call dso__load_kernel_sym(), just like we do with modules with
dsos__load_module_sym()/dso__load_module_sym().

Next csets will actually use this info to stop producing bogus
results using mismatched vmlinux and .ko files.
