The event_type record has a max length for the event name.

It's called MAX_EVENT_NAME.

The name may be truncated to fit the max length. But the header.size still
reflects the original name length. If that length is > MAX_EVENT_NAME, then the
header.size field is bogus. Fix this by using the length of the name after the
potential truncation.

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build
because commit 1aed2671 (perf kvm: Do
guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the
feature selection in util.h is done.  This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in
util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second
inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken.

There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering,
but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it.

The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE,
so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all
invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header
files.  All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they
cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler.

All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are
moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS
are removed.

This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).

There are unnecessary #include <ctype.h> out there, and they might cause
a nasty build failure in some environment. As we already have most of
ctype macros in util.h, just get rid of them.

A few of exceptions are util/symbol.c which needs isupper() macro util.h
doesn't provide and perl scripting support code which includes ctype.h
internally.

The current perf scripting facility only supports tracepoints. This
patch implements a generic perl handler to support other events than
tracepoints too.

This patch introduces a function process_event() that is called by perf
for each sample. The function is called with byte streams as arguments
containing information about the event, its attributes, the sample and
raw data. Perl's unpack() function can easily be used for byte decoding.
The following is the default implementation for process_event() that can
also be generated with perf script:

 # Packed byte string args of process_event():
 #
 # $event:       union perf_event        util/event.h
 # $attr:        struct perf_event_attr  linux/perf_event.h
 # $sample:      struct perf_sample      util/event.h
 # $raw_data:    perf_sample->raw_data   util/event.h

 sub process_event
 {
         my ($event, $attr, $sample, $raw_data) = @_;

         my @event       = unpack("LSS", $event);
         my @attr        = unpack("LLQQQQQLLQQ", $attr);
         my @sample      = unpack("QLLQQQQQLL", $sample);
         my @raw_data    = unpack("C*", $raw_data);

         use Data::Dumper;
         print Dumper \@event, \@attr, \@sample, \@raw_data;
 }

The features HEADER_TRACE_INFO and HEADER_BUILD_ID are handled
different when writing the feature section. All other features are
simply disabled on failure and writing the section goes on without
returning an error. There is no reason for these special cases. This
patch unifies handling of the features.

This should be ok since all features can be parsed independently.
Offset and size of a feature's block is stored in struct perf_file_
section right after the data block of perf.data (see perf_session__
write_header()). Thus, if a feature does not exist then other features
can be processed anyway.

Also moving special code for HEADER_BUILD_ID out to write_build_id().

v2:
* perf record throws an error now if buildids may not be generated,
  which can be disabled with the --no-buildid option.

The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

 # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
 failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

 perf annotate
 perf buildid-list
 perf evlist
 perf kmem
 perf lock
 perf report
 perf sched
 perf script
 perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.

v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
  builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup

Now that we automatically point users at it, let's provide them some
guidance so that they hopefully don't just get mysterious EINVAL's
from the kernel.

I get such truncated annotation results in 'perf top':

I'm using a fairly recent binutils:

  GNU objdump version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc16 20110118

AFAICS the bug is simply that sym->end points to the last byte
of the symbol in question - while objdump's --stop-address
expects the last byte plus 1 to disassemble the full range.

This handles multithreaded processes with named threads when doing
system wide profiling: the comm for each thread is looked up allowing
them to be different from the thread group leader.

perf does not properly handle monitoring of processes with named threads.
For example:

$ ps -C myapp -L
  PID   LWP TTY          TIME CMD
25118 25118 ?        00:00:00 myapp
25118 25119 ?        00:00:00 myapp:worker

perf record -e cs -c 1 -fo /tmp/perf.data -p 25118 -- sleep 10
perf report --stdio -i /tmp/perf.data
   100.00%  myapp:worker  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] perf_event_task_sched_out

The process name is set to the name of the last thread it finds for the
process.

The Problem:
perf-top and perf-record both create a thread_map of threads to be
monitored. That map is used in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map which
loops over the entries in thread_map and calls __event__synthesize_thread
to generate COMM and MMAP events.

__event__synthesize_thread calls perf_event__synthesize_comm which opens
/proc/pid/status, reads the name of the task and its thread group id.
That's all fine. The problem is that it then reads /proc/pid/task and
generates COMM events for each task it finds - but using the name found
in /proc/pid/status where pid is the thread of interest.

The end result (looping over thread_map + synthesizing comm events for
each thread each time) means the name of the last thread processed sets
the name for all threads in the process - which is not good for
multithreaded processes with named threads.

The Fix:
perf_event__synthesize_comm has an input argument (full) that decides
whether to process task entries for each pid it is passed. It currently
never set to 0 (perf_event__synthesize_comm has a single caller and it
always passes the value 1). Let's fix that.

Add the full input argument to __event__synthesize_thread which passes
it to perf_event__synthesize_comm. For thread/process monitoring set full
to 0 which means COMM and MMAP events are only generated for the pid
passed to it. For system wide monitoring set full to 1 so that COMM events
are generated for all threads in a process.

Use local variable 'dso' to reduce typing a bit and rearrange the if
condition. Also NULL check of al->map in the condition is not necessary.
