Some are weak functions, others are just markers, etc. They get in the rb tree
with the same addr, so we need to look around to find the symbol with the same
name.

We were looking just at the previous entries with the same addr, look forward
too.

For kallsyms we don't have the symbol address end, so we do an extra pass and
set the symbol end addr as being the start of the next minus one.

But this was being done just after we filtered the symbols of a
particular type (functions, variables), so the symbol end was sometimes
after what it really is.

Fixing up symbol end also was falling apart when we have symbol aliases,
then the end address of all but the last alias was being set to be
before its start.

Fix it up by checking for symbol aliases and making the kallsyms__parse
routine use the next symbol, whatever its type, as the limit for the
previous symbol, passing that end address to the callback.

This was detected by the 'perf test' synthetic paranoid regression
tests, fix it up so that even that case doesn't mislead us.

When listing a whole file or a function which is located at the end,

This is because show_one_line() always consider EOF as an error.

This patch fixes this by not considering EOF as an error when dumping
the trailing lines. Otherwise it's still an error and perf-probe still

with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a

This patch changes perf report to ask for the ID info on all events be
default if recording from multiple CPUs.

Perf report, annotate and diff will now process the events in order if
the kernel is able to provide timestamps on all events. This ensures
that events such as COMM and MMAP which are necessary to correctly
interpret samples are processed prior to those samples so that they are
attributed correctly.

If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for
sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of
events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without
timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In
other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples
correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed.

While processing all events without timestamps before events with
timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as
PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples.
Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would
not be attributed correctly.

This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to
unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps
on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print
out a warning if report -D was invoked.

This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to
test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as
record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

When we build perf we place all of the .o files from the library files
(util, arch/x/util, etc) into libperf.a which is then linked into perf.

The problem is that the linker will by default only consider .o files
within the .a archive if they are necessary to satisfy an unresolved
symbol. As weak functions are not unresolved, it will not consider a .o
file from the archive containing the strong versions of weak functions
unless it requires it for another reason.

This patch adds the --whole-archive flags to the linker when passing in
the libperf.a file to ensure that it will consider every .o file in the
archive, not just what it believes that it needs. The end result is that
weak functions can now be overridden by strong variants of them in the
libperf.a file.

Now that we have timestamps on FORK, EXIT, COMM, MMAP events we can
sort everything in time order. This fixes the following observed
problem:

mmap(file1) -> pagefault() -> munmap(file1)
mmap(file2) -> pagefault() -> munmap(file2)

Resulted in decoding both pagefaults in file2 because the file1 map
was already replaced by the file2 map when the map address was
identical.

With all events sorted we decode both pagefaults correctly.

instead of the instruction pointer as we previously were doing, which is pretty
meaningless for a shared object (at least to the users perspective).

The IP we print out is fairly meaningless in general anyway - it's just one
(the first) of the many addresses that were lumped together as unidentified,
and could span many shared objects and symbols. In reality if we see this
[unknown] output then the report -D output is going to be more useful anyway as
we can see all the different address that it represents.

If we are printing the symbols we are still going to see this IP in that column
anyway since they shouldn't resolve either.

This patch also changes the symbol address printouts so that they print out 0x
before the address, are left aligned, and changes the %L format string (which
relies on a glibc bug) to %ll.

First column is the cpu and the second the timestamp.

That way we can investigate problems in the event stream.

If the new perf binary is run on an older kernel, it will disable this feature
automatically.

At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache
tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already
parsed.

This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the
identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu,
timestamp) just after before every event.

Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as
possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid
callchains, warning the user about it if it happens.

There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type,
that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be
removed.

This patch adds an option (-x/--field-separator) to print counts using a
CSV-style output. The user can pass a custom separator. This makes it very easy
to import counts directly into your favorite spreadsheet without having to
write scripts.

Example:
$ perf stat --field-separator=,  -a -- sleep 1
4009.961740,task-clock-msecs
13,context-switches
2,CPU-migrations
189,page-faults

872897069,branches
41562,branch-misses
22424,cache-references
1289,cache-misses

Works also in non-aggregated mode:

This second version adds the ability to name a separator and uses
field-separator as the long option to be consistent with perf report.

Commiter note: Since we enabled --big-num by default in 201e0b06 and -x can't be
used with it, we need to notice if the user explicitely enabled or disabled -B,
add code to disable big_num if the user didn't explicitely set --big_num when
-x is used.
