In cbbc79a5 we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.

While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.

Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.

The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

Works by adding a third parameter to the '-g' argument, after the graph
type and minimum percentage, for example:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -g fractal,0.5,2

Will show only the first two symbols where at least 0.5% of the samples
took place.

All the other symbols that don't fall outside these constraints will be
put together in the last entry, prefixed with "[...]" and the total
percentage for them.

Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.

What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit.  Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.

This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched.  Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:

perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -

perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.

Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
to break it down into component events.  The tracing_data event
itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
processing loop in a previous patch.

Adds special treatment for stdin - if the user specifies '-i -'
to perf report, the intent is that the event stream be written

this just adds a signal handler to stop reporting, and turns off

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.

This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).

I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

For when we are processing the events and inserting the entries in the
browser.

Experimentation here: naming "ui_something" we may be treading into
creating a TUI/GUI set of routines that can then be implemented in terms
of multiple backends.

Also the time it takes for adding things to the "browser" takes, visually
(I guess I should do some profiling here ;-) ), more time than for
processing the events...

That means we probably need to create a custom hist_entry browser, so
that we reuse the structures we have in place instead of duplicating
them in newt.

But progress was made and at least we can see something while long files
are being loaded, that must be one of UI 101 bullet points :-)

Callchains have markers inside their capture to tell we
enter a context (kernel, user, ...).

Those are not displayed in the callchains but they are
incidentally an active part of the radix tree where
callchains are stored, just like any other address.

If we have the two following callchains:

addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr3
addr1 -> addr2 -> user context -> addr4
addr1 -> addr2 -> addr 5

This is pretty common if addr1 and addr2 are part of an
interrupt path, addr3 and addr4 are user addresses and
addr5 is a kernel non interrupt path.

This will be stored as follows in the tree:

                   addr1
                   addr2
                   /   \
                  /     addr5
            user context
               /    \
             addr3  addr4

But we ignore the context markers in the report, hence
the addr3 and addr4 will appear as orphan branches:

    |--28.30%-- hrtimer_interrupt
    |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
    |          apic_timer_interrupt
    |          |           <------------- here, no parent!
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- 0x7fae7bccb875
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- 0xffffffffff60013b
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- __pthread_mutex_lock_internal
    |          |          |
    |          |          |--11.11%-- __errno_location

Fix this by removing the context markers when we process the
callchains to the tree.

Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
API as can be seen by the size of this patch.

The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.

In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
is maintaned.

Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
annotation window will return to the report symbol list.

More work will be done to remove the special casing in
color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
hist_entries, etc.

Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
top, etc

But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
libnewt/TUI integration of tools.

Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.

Since now all that we have are perf event handlers, leave just
the name of the event.

Now perf_event_ops has just that, event handlers.

This is really something tools need to do before asking for the
events to be processed, leaving perf_session__process_events to
do just that, process events.

Also add a msg parameter to perf_session__has_traces() so that
the right message can be printed, fixing a regression added by
me in the previous cset (right timechart message) and also
fixing 'perf kmem', that was not asking if 'perf kmem record'
was ran.

Fixing this:

 [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf diff --hell
   Error: unknown option `hell'

  usage: perf diff [<options>] [old_file] [new_file]
 Segmentation fault
 [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$

Also go over the other such arrays to check if they all were OK,
they are, but there were some minor changes to do like making
one static and renaming another to match the command it refers
to.

Pekka Enberg reported weird percentages in perf report. It
turns out we are overflowing a 32-bit variables in struct
events_stats on 32-bit architectures.

Before:

 [acme@ana linux-2.6-tip]$ perf report -i pekka.perf.data 2> /dev/null | head -10
   281.96%       Xorg                        b710a561  [.] 0x000000b710a561

That means that almost everything you can do with 'perf report'
can be done with 'perf diff', for instance:

$ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2699
samples) ] $ perf record -f find / > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.062 MB perf.data (~2687
samples) ] perf diff | head -8
     9.02%     +1.00%     find  libc-2.10.1.so               [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
     2.91%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] __kmalloc
     2.85%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] ext4_htree_store_dirent
     1.99%     -1.00%     find  [kernel]                     [k] _atomic_dec_and_lock
     2.44%                find  [kernel]                     [k] half_md4_transform
$

So if you want to zoom into libc:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
    37.34%                find  [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                find  [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%     find  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_free
$

And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%             [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%             [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%  [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%  [.] _int_free
$

The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:

perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%                   [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                   [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%        [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%    +2  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%    -1  [.] _int_free
$

Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:

$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
10.34, , ,[.] __GI_memmove
8.25,+2.00%, ,[.] _int_malloc
5.07,-1.00%,  +2,[.] __GI_mempcpy
7.62,+2.00%,  -1,[.] _int_free
6.99,+1.00%,  -1,[.] _IO_new_file_xsputn
1.89,-2.00%,  +4,[.] __readdir64
