baad2d3e69 perf probe: Rename DIE_FIND_CB_FOUND to DIE_FIND_CB_END
Since die_find/walk* callbacks use DIE_FIND_CB_FOUND for
both of failed and found cases, it should be "END"
instead "FOUND" for avoiding confusion.

259032bfe3 perf: Robustify proc and debugfs file recording
While attempting to create a timechart of boot up I found perf didn't
tolerate modules being loaded/unloaded.  This patch fixes this by
reading the file once and then writing the size read at the correct
point in the file.  It also simplifies the code somewhat.

5d67be97f8 perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range
Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C <comms>.

 v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
	- Added -c to perf script
	- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
	- Update documentation

 v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

3ae9a34d74 perf stat: Add noise output for csv mode
Previously, when you want perf-stat to output the statistics in
csv mode, no information of the noise will be printed out.

For example right now we output this --repeat information:

 ./perf stat -r3 -x, sleep 1
 1.164789,task-clock
 8,context-switches
 0,CPU-migrations
 219,page-faults
 3337800,cycles

With this patch, the output will be appended with an additional
entry for the noise value:

 ./perf stat -r3 -x, sleep 1
 1.164789,task-clock,3.75%
 8,context-switches,75.00%
 0,CPU-migrations,100.00%
 219,page-faults,0.00%

cb1955b86c perf tools: Only display parent field if explictly sorted
We don't need to display the parent field if the parent
sorting machinery is only used for parent filtering
(as in "-p foo").

However if parent filtering is used in combination with
explicit parent sorting ( -s parent), we want to
display it.

Result with:

  perf report -p kernel_thread -s parent

fd8ea21276 perf tools: Allow sort dimensions to be registered more than once
So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
if we request a parent filter (-p foo).

We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
"-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
parent.

e84d21227c perf tools: Don't display ignored entries on stdio ui
As for newt ui, don't display entries that have been marked

The practical current effect of this is to make parent
filtering really working. Before, entries that were ignored
were given a null parent but were still displayed. This
resulted in some weird effects:

 # Overhead      Command      Shared Object        Symbol

                      |          |--30.75%-- _raw_spin_lock

Discard these from the stdio display.

d797fdc5c5 perf tools: Add inverted call graph report support.
Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
graph statistics.

Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.

203db2952b tools/perf: Fix static build of perf tool
To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed
libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols
resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt
support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an
unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs
libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in
the long run without the need to keep track of transitive
library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS
multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

09223371de rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.

The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.

Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)

This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

56722381b8 perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid
Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:

. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
  world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
  the error to the caller.

. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
  where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o

One of the fixed problems:

So far we avoided having to link debug.o in the python binding, keep it

610723f24e perf script: Make printing of dso a separate field option
The 'sym' option displays both the function name and the DSO it comes
from. Split the display of the dso into a separate option.  This allows
display of the ip address and symbol without the dso, thus shortening
line lengths - and decluttering the output a bit.

787bef174f perf script: "sym" field really means show IP data
Currently the "sym" output field is used to dump instruction pointers
and callchain stack. Sample addresses can also be converted to symbols,
so the meaning of "sym" needs to be fixed. This patch adds an "ip"
option and if it is selected the user can also opt to dump symbols for
them. If the user opts to dump IP without syms only the address is
shown.

c2a70653af perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid
Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:

. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
  world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
  the error to the caller.

. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
  where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o

One of the fixed problems:

4af4c9550c perf events: initialize fd array to -1 instead of 0
perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.

Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.

builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.

Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.

ec80fde746 perf symbols: Handle /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.

With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.

So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.

Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.

In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.

Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.

Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.

Example:

 [acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1

 WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
 /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

 Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
 not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

 Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

 If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
 with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

 Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted,
 check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.

 Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

This is because it found a suitable vmlinux (build-id checked) in
/lib/modules/2.6.39-rc7+/build/vmlinux (use -v in perf report to see the long
file name).

If we remove that file from the vmlinux path:
