3cda062520 perf daemon: Add config file change check
Add support to detect changes to the daemon's config file triggering a
re-read of the configuration when that happens.

Use a inotify file descriptor plugged into the main fdarray object for
polling.

Example:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [daemon]
  base=/opt/perfdata

  [session-cycles]
  run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Starting the daemon:

  # perf daemon start

Check sessions:

  # perf daemon
  [772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
  [772263:cycles] perf record -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Change '-m 10M' to '-m 20M', and check daemon log:

  # tail -f /opt/perfdata/output
  [2021-01-02 20:31:41.234045] daemon started (pid 772262)
  [2021-01-02 20:31:41.235072] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772263]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
  [2021-01-02 20:32:08.310137] reconfig: session 'cycles' killed
  [2021-01-02 20:32:08.310847] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:772338]: -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

And the session list:

  # perf daemon
  [772262:daemon] base: /opt/perfdata
  [772338:cycles] perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

Note the changed '-m 20M' option is in place.

c0666261ff perf daemon: Add config file support
Adding support to configure daemon with config file.

Each client or server invocation of perf daemon needs to know the
base directory, where all sessions data is stored.

The base is defined with:

  daemon.base
    Base path for daemon data. All sessions data are stored under
    this path.

The daemon allows to create record sessions. Each session is a
record command spawned and monitored by perf daemon.

The session is defined with:

  session-<NAME>.run
    Defines new record session for daemon. The value is record's
    command line without the 'record' keyword.

Example:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [daemon]
  base=/opt/perfdata

  [session-cycles]
  run = -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a

  [session-sched]
  run = -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a

The example above defines '/opt/perfdata' as the base directory and 2
record sessions.

  # perf daemon start
  [2021-01-28 19:47:33.454413] daemon started (pid 16015)
  [2021-01-28 19:47:33.455910] reconfig: ruining session [cycles:16016]: -m 10M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
  [2021-01-28 19:47:33.456599] reconfig: ruining session [sched:16017]: -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a

  # ps -ef | grep perf
  ... perf daemon start
  ... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e cycles --overwrite --switch-output -a
  ... /home/jolsa/.../perf record -m 20M -e sched:* --overwrite --switch-output -a

The base directory is populated with:

  # find /opt/perfdata/
  /opt/perfdata/
  /opt/perfdata/control                    <- control socket
  /opt/perfdata/session-cycles             <- data for session 'cycles':
  /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/output      <-   perf record output
  /opt/perfdata/session-cycles/perf.data   <-   perf data
  /opt/perfdata/session-sched              <- ditto for session 'sched'
  /opt/perfdata/session-sched/output
  /opt/perfdata/session-sched/perf.data

90b0aad8f6 perf daemon: Add client socket support
Add support for client socket side that will be used to send commands to
the daemon server socket.

This patch adds only the core support, all commands using this
functionality are coming in the following patches.

Committer notes:

Hat to patch patch it to deal with this in some systems:

  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  builtin-daemon.c: In function 'send_cmd':  MKDIR    /tmp/build/perf/bench/

  builtin-daemon.c:1368: error: ignoring return value of 'fwrite', declared with attribute warn_unused_result
    MKDIR    /tmp/build/perf/tests/
  make[3]: *** [/tmp/build/perf/builtin-daemon.o] Error 1

And also to not leak the 'line' buffer allocated by getline(), since you
initialized line to NULL and len to zero, man page says:

  If *lineptr is set to NULL and *n is set 0 before the call,
  then getline() will allocate a buffer for storing the line.
  This buffer should be freed by the user program even if
  getline() failed.

d450bc501f perf daemon: Add daemon command
Add a daemon skeleton with a minimal base (non) functionality, covering
various setup in start command.

Add an initial perf-daemon.txt with basic info.

This is in response to pople asking for the possibility to be able run
record long running sessions on the background.

The patchset that starts with this adds support to configure and run
record sessions on background via new 'perf daemon' command.

This is useful for being able to use perf as a flight recorder that one
can interact with asking for events to be enabled or disabled, added or
removed, etc.
