cca8482c06 perf tools: Fix buildid processing
After recording, 'perf record' post-processes the data to determine
which buildids are needed.

That processing must process the data in time order, if possible,
because otherwise dependent events, like forks and mmaps, will not make
sense.

4ba1faa19f perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf
This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

 # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

 # /tmp/perf report --stdio
 ...
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
  # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
  #
      99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
      0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
      0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
 ...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

 # cat << EOF > ./tmp
 > #!/bin/sh
 > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
 > EOF
 # chmod a+x ./tmp
 # ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

If the option -T is used with option --per-thread, then time is still

user used the -T option as opposed to the default case when timestamps

99fa298453 perf tools: Add AUX area tracing index
Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file.

perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to
enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events
altogether.

AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very
beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND.

By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and
the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual.

The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file.
A session reads the index but does not process it.  An AUX area decoder
can queue all the AUX area data in advance using
auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some
custom manner.

aad2b21c15 perf tools: Enable LBR call stack support
Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.

Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
stack support on the tooling side.

LBR call stack has some limitations:

 - It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
   can not be enabled at the same time.

 - It is only available for user-space callchains.

However, it also offers some advantages:

 - LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
   or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
   else works.

4ac30cf74b perf tools: Do not use __perf_session__process_events() directly
It's only used for perf record to process build-id because its file size
it's not fixed at this time due to remaining header features.

However data offset and size is available so that we can use the
perf_session__process_events() once we set the file size as the current
offset like for now.

00dc865798 perf record: Do not save pathname in ./debug/.build-id directory for vmlinux
When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order
to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples.

During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it
ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name.

But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path
so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the
~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users.

This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so
that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name,
not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.

Before:
  # perf record -va sleep 3
  mmap size 528384B
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.196 MB perf.data (~8545 samples) ]

  Using /home/namhyung/.debug/.build-id/f0/6e17aa50adf4d00b88925e03775de107611551 for symbols

0a7e6d1b68 perf tools: Check recorded kernel version when finding vmlinux
Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from
current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version
number of the running kernel.  This can be a problem when reporting old
data recorded on a kernel version not running currently.

We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it
always.  As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be
changed to use it for the search automatically.

Before:

  $ perf report
  ...
  # Samples: 4K of event 'cpu-clock'
  # Event count (approx.): 1067250000
  #
  # Overhead  Command     Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  ..........  .................  ..............................
      71.87%     swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] recover_probed_instruction

  # Overhead  Command     Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  ..........  .................  ....................
      71.87%     swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt

This requires to change signature of symbol__init() to receive struct
perf_session_env *.

If the perf record command is interrupted in record__mmap_read_all
function, the 'done' is set and err has the latest poll return
value, which is most likely positive number (= number of pollfds
ready to read).

This 'positive err' is then propagated to the exit code, resulting
in not finishing the perf.data header properly, causing following
error in report:

  # perf record -F 50000 -a

  make the system real busy, so there's more chance
  to interrupt perf in event writing code

4560471053 perf record: Propagate exit status of a command line workload
Currently perf record doesn't propagate the exit status of a workload
given by the command line.  But sometimes it'd useful if it's
propagated so that a monitoring script can handle errors
appropriately.

To do that, it moves most of logic out of the exit handlers and run
them directly in the __cmd_record().  The only thing needs to be done
in the handler is propagating terminating signal so that the shell can
terminate its loop properly when Ctrl-C was pressed.  Also it cleaned
up the resource management code in record__exit().

With this change, perf record returns the child exit status in case of
normal termination and send signal to itself when terminated by signal.

Example run of Stephane's case:

  $ perf record true && echo yes || echo no
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ]
  yes

  $ perf record false && echo yes || echo no
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (~589 samples) ]
  no

Jiri's case (error in parent):

ffa91880a9 perf tools: Improve error reporting
In the current version, when using perf record, if something goes
wrong in tools/perf/builtin-record.c:375
  session = perf_session__new(file, false, NULL);

The error message:
"Not enough memory for reading per file header"

is issued. This error message seems to be outdated and is not very
helpful. This patch proposes to replace this error message by
"Perf session creation failed"

I believe this issue has been brought to lkml:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/24/458
although this patch only tackles a (small) part of the issue.

Additionnaly, this patch improves error reporting in
tools/perf/util/data.c open_file_write.

Currently, if the call to open fails, the user is unaware of it.
This patch logs the error, before returning the error code to
the caller.

eb853e8032 perf tools: Add call-graph option support into .perfconfig
Adding call-graph option support into .perfconfig file, so it's now
possible use call-graph option like:

  [top]
        call-graph = fp

  [record]
        call-graph = dwarf,8192

Above options ONLY setup the unwind method. To enable perf record/top to
actually use it the command line option -g/-G must be specified.

The --call-graph option overloads .perfconfig setup.

Assuming above configuration:

  $ perf record -g ls
  - enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 8192 bytes

  $ perf top -G
  - enables frame pointer unwind

  $ perf record --call-graph=fp ls
  - enables frame pointer unwind

  $ perf top --call-graph=dwarf,4096 ls
  - enables dwarf unwind with user stack size dump 4096 bytes
