      perf tools: Bring linear set of section headers for features · 9e827dd0
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Build a set of section headers for features right after the
      datas. Each implemented feature will have one of such section
      header that provides the offset and the size of the data
      manipulated by the feature.
      
      The trace informations have moved after the data and are
      recorded on exit time.
      
      The new layout is as follows:
      
       -----------------------
                                   ___
       [ magic               ]      |
       [ header size         ]      |
       [ attr size           ]      |
       [ attr content offset ]      |
       [ attr content size   ]      |
       [ data offset         ]  File Headers
       [ data size           ]      |
       [ event_types offset  ]      |
       [ event_types size    ]      |
       [ feature bitmap      ]      v
      
       [ attr section        ]
       [ events section      ]
      
                                   ___
       [         X           ]      |
       [         X           ]      |
       [         X           ]    Datas
       [         X           ]      |
       [         X           ]      v
      
                                   ___
       [ Feature 1 offset    ]      |
       [ Feature 1 size      ] Features headers
       [ Feature 2 offset    ]      |
       [ Feature 2 size      ]      v
      
       [ Feature 1 content   ]
       [ Feature 2 content   ]
       -----------------------
      
      We have as many feature's section headers as we have features in
      use for the current file.
      
      Say Feat 1 and Feat 3 are used by the file, but not Feat 2. Then
      the feature headers will be like follows:
      
      [ Feature 1 offset    ]      |
      [ Feature 1 size      ] Features headers
      [ Feature 3 offset    ]      |
      [ Feature 3 size      ]      v
      
      There is no hole to cover Feature 2 that is not in use here. We
      only need to cover the needed headers in order, from the lowest
      feature bit to the highest.
      
      Currently we have two features: HEADER_TRACE_INFO and
      HEADER_BUILD_ID. Both have their contents that follow the
      feature headers. Putting the contents right after the feature
      headers is not mandatory though. While we keep the feature
      headers right after the data and in order, their offsets can
      point everywhere. We have just put the two above feature
      contents in the end of the file for convenience.
      
      The purpose of this layout change is to have a file format that
      scales while keeping it simple: having such linear feature
      headers is less error prone wrt forward/backward compatibility
      as the content of a feature can be put anywhere, its location
      can even change by the time, it's fine because its headers will
      tell where it is. And we know how to find these headers,
      following the above rules.
