Occassionally events (e.g., context-switch, sched tracepoints) are losing
the conversion of sample data associated with a thread. For example:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -c 1 -a -- sleep 5
$ perf script
<selected events shown>
    ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
    ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
:30482 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...

The last line lost the conversion from tid to comm. If you look at the events
(perf script -D) you see why - a SAMPLE event is generated after the EXIT:

0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0
... thread: :30482:30482

When perf processes the EXIT event the thread is moved to the dead_threads
list. When the SAMPLE event is processed no thread exists for the pid so a new
one is created by machine__findnew_thread.

This patch address the problem by delaying the move to the dead_threads list
until the tid is re-used (per Adrian's suggestion).

With this patch we get the previous example shows:

  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...

and

  0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
  0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0
  ... thread: ls:30482

v4: per Arnaldo's request add dead flag to thread struct and set when task exits

v3: re-do from a time based check to a delayed move to dead_threads list

v2: Rebased to latest perf/core branch. Changed time comparison to use
    a macro which explicitly shows the time basis

Note 'eprintf' must be re-implemented because the full version links the

perf stat -a needs 10 open file descriptors per logical CPU
perf stat -a -dddd needs 20 open fds for each.

This implies that stat -a doesn't work on any system with the default
ulimit -n 1024 which has more than ~100 CPUs and stat -a -dddd doesn't
work on anything with more than 46 CPUs.

Longer term there needs to be probably some way to lower the file
descriptor requirements. This would need some changes in the kernel/user
interface.

But short term this patch just tries to increase the file descriptor
limit in perf itself, when it runs into a EMFILE.

It first sets it to the hard limit, and then tries to increase the hard
limit.

On Fedora systems the default seems to be soft limit 1024 and hard limit
4*1024. So even non root can support 409 or 186 CPUs respectively. root
can go far higher.

This patch improves the robustness of the build_cpu_topo() routine by
allowing either the CPU parsing or the thread parsing to fail and yet
get perf to produce some topology data which could be useful for the
analysis.

Without this patch, if the cpu parsing fails, the thread parsing is not
attempted vice-versa.

This is useful to spot high latency blips. It is normal for HLT reasons
to have long exit times, so strip those from the duration check.

v2: changed threshold to duration per acme's request

For some types of work loads and special guest environments, you might
have a kernel that has no kernel modules.  The perf kvm record tool
fails instantiate vmlinux maps when the kernel modules directory cannot
be opened, even though the kallsyms has been properly processed.  This
leads to a perf kvm report that has no guest symbols resolved.

This patch changes the failure to locate kernel modules to be non-fatal.

Add a negative test to test__checkevent_pmu_events() to get lots of
coverage of the negative case, ie. when the modifier is not specified.

Add a test of a single event, and of the group case.

This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.

The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in
future to mean "fully precise".

So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if
you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you.

This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able
to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for
instructions per cycle.

Comparison of results with and without pinning:

$ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,...

  79,590,480,683 cycles         #  0.000 GHz
 166,123,716,524 instructions   #  2.09  insns per cycle
                                #  0.11  stalled cycles per insn

  79,352,134,463 cycles         #  0.000 GHz                     [11.11%]
 165,178,301,818 instructions   #  2.08  insns per cycle
                                #  0.11  stalled cycles per insn [11.13%]

As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values
in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy.

The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to
make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a
group.

The commit 2b8bfa6b ("perf tools: Centralize default columns init in
perf_hpp__init") moves initialization of common overhead column to
perf_hpp__init() but forgot about the gtk code.

So the gtk code added the same column to the list twice causing infinite
loop when iterating it by perf_hpp__for_each_format loop.  When I run
perf report --gtk, I can see following messages indefinitely.

  (perf:11687): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_main_quit: assertion 'main_loops != NULL' failed
