So that we don't have to pass it around to the several methods that
needs it, simplifying usage.

There is one case where we don't have the thread/cpu map in advance,
which is in the parsing routines used by top, stat, record, that we have
to wait till all options are parsed to know if a cpu or thread list was
passed to then create those maps.

For that case consolidate the cpu and thread map creation via
perf_evlist__create_maps() out of the code in top and record, while also
providing a perf_evlist__set_maps() for cases where multiple evlists
share maps or for when maps that represent CPU sockets, for instance,
get crafted out of topology information or subsets of threads in a
particular application are to be monitored, providing more granularity
in specifying which cpus and threads to monitor.

First clarifying that this kind of binding is not a replacement or an
equivalent to the 'perf script' way of using python with perf.

The 'perf script' way is to process events and look at a given script
for some python function that matches the events to pass each event for
processing.

This is a python module, i.e. everything is driven from the python
script, that merely uses "import perf" or "from perf import".

perf script is focused on tracepoints, this binding is focused on profiling as
an initial target. More work is needed to make available tracepoint specific
variables as event variables accessible via this binding.

There is one example of such usage model, in
tools/perf/python/twatch.py, a tool to watch "cycles" events together
with task (fork, exit) and comm perf events.

For now, due to me not being able to grok how python distutils cope with
building C extensions outside the sources dir the install target just
builds it, I'm using it as:

[root@emilia linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/
[root@emilia linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py
cpu:  4, pid: 30126, tid: 30126 { type: mmap, pid: 30126, tid: 30126, start: 0x4, length: 0x82e9ca03, offset: 0, filename:  }

The first 8 mmap events in this 8 way machine are a mistery that is still being
investigated.

More of the tools/perf/util/ APIs will be exposed via this python binding as
the need arises. For now the focus is on creating events and processing them,
symbol resolution is an obvious next step, with tracepoint variables as a close
second step.

Right now this function is only used by perf top, that uses PROT_READ
only, i.e. overwrite mode, so no PERF_RECORD_LOST events are generated,
but don't forget those events.

The patch that moved this out of perf top was made so that this routine
could be used by 'perf probe' in the uprobes patchset, so perhaps there
they need to check for LOST events and warn the user, as will be done in
the following patches that will switch 'perf top' to non overwrite mode
(mmap with PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE).

Add strfilter for general purpose string filter.

Every filter rules are descrived by glob matching pattern and '!' prefix
which means Logical NOT.

A strfilter consists of those filter rules connected with '&' and '|'.

A set of rules can be folded by using '(' and ')'.

It also accepts spaces around rules and those operators.

Format:
<rule> ::= <glob-exp> | "!" <rule> | <rule> <op> <rule> | "(" <rule> ")"
<op> ::= "&" | "|"

e.g.:

 "(add* | del*) & *timer" filter rules pass strings which start with add
 or del and end with timer.

This will be used by perf probe --filter.

Changes in V2:
 - Fix to check result of strdup() and strfilter__alloc().
 - Encapsulate and simplify interfaces as like regex(3).

It is needed because it will call parse_event for each tracepoint
name that matches, and we pass the perf_evlist via opt->value.

Problem introduced in 4503fdd where my assumption about opt being
always non NULL made me not look at callers of parse_events outside
builtin-*.c.

This patch gives the ability to 'perf record' to detect when its stdout
has been redirected to a pipe. There's now no more need to add '-o -'
switch in this case.

However '-o <path>' option has always precedence, that is if specified
and stdout has been connected via a pipe then the output will go into
the specified output.

Add --funcs to show available functions in symtab.

Originally this feature came from Srikar's uprobes patches
( http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/27/244 )

e.g.
...
__ablkcipher_walk_complete
__absent_pages_in_range
__account_scheduler_latency
__add_pages
__alloc_pages_nodemask
__alloc_percpu
__alloc_reserved_percpu
__alloc_skb
__alloc_workqueue_key
__any_online_cpu
__ata_ehi_push_desc
...

This also supports symbols in module, e.g.

...
cleanup_module
cpuid_maxphyaddr
emulate_clts
emulate_instruction
emulate_int_real
emulate_invlpg
emulator_get_dr
emulator_set_dr
emulator_task_switch
emulator_write_emulated
emulator_write_phys
fx_init
...

The callchains are fed with an array of a fixed size.
As a result we iterate over each callchains three times:

- 1st to resolve symbols
- 2nd to filter out context boundaries
- 3rd for the insertion into the tree

This also involves some pairs of memory allocation/deallocation
everytime we insert a callchain, for the filtered out array of
addresses and for the array of symbols that comes along.

Instead, feed the callchains through a linked list with persistent
allocations. It brings several pros like:

- Merge the 1st and 2nd iterations in one. That was possible before
but in a way that would involve allocating an array slightly taller
than necessary because we don't know in advance the number of context
boundaries to filter out.

- Much lesser allocations/deallocations. The linked list keeps
persistent empty entries for the next usages and is extendable at
will.

- Makes it easier for multiple sources of callchains to feed a
stacktrace together. This is deemed to pave the way for cfi based
callchains wherein traditional frame pointer based kernel
stacktraces will precede cfi based user ones, producing an overall
callchain which size is hardly predictable. This requirement
makes the static array obsolete and makes a linked list based
iterator a much more flexible fit.

Basic testing on a big perf file containing callchains (~ 176 MB)
has shown a throughput gain of about 11% with perf report.

This test will generate random numbers of calls to some getpid syscalls,
then establish an mmap for a group of events that are created to monitor
these syscalls.

It will receive the events, using mmap, use its PERF_SAMPLE_ID generated
sample.id field to map back to its respective perf_evsel instance.

Then it checks if the number of syscalls reported as perf events by the
kernel corresponds to the number of syscalls made.
