Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 591765fdaf perf tools: Release thread resources on PERF_RECORD_EXIT
For long running sessions with many threads with short lifetimes the
amount of memory that the buildid process takes is too much.

Since we don't have hist_entries that may be pointing to them, we can
just release the resources associated with each thread when the exit
(PERF_RECORD_EXIT) event is received.

For normal processing we need to annotate maps with hits, and thus
hist_entries pointing to it and drop the ones that had none. Will be
done in a followup patch.

Srikar Dronamraju 0e60836bbd perf probe: Rename common fields/functions from kprobe to probe.
As a precursor for perf to support uprobes, rename fields/functions
that had kprobe in their name but can be shared across perf-kprobes
and perf-uprobes to probe.

Dave Martin 6da80ce8c4 perf symbols: Improve debug image search when loading symbols
Changes:
	* Simplification of the main search loop on dso__load()
	* Replace the search with a 2-pass search:
		* First, try to find an image with a proper symtab.
		* Second, repeat the search, accepting dynsym.

A second scan should only ever happen when needed debug images are
missing from the buildid cache or stale, i.e., when the cache is out of
sync.

Currently, the second scan also happens when using separated debug
images, since the caching logic doesn't currently know how to cache
those.  Improvements to the cache behaviour ought to solve that.

Dave Martin 21916c380d perf tools: Factor out buildid reading and make it implicit in dso__load
If we have a buildid, then we never want to load an image which has no buildid,
or which has a different buildid, so it makes sense for the check to be built
into dso__load and not done separately.  This is fine for old distros which
don't use buildid at all since we do no check in that case.

This refactoring also alleviates some subtle race condition issues by not
opening ELF images twice to check the buildid and then load the symbols, which
could lead to weirdness if an image is replaced under our feet.

Dave Martin 361d134625 perf report: Don't abbreviate file paths relative to the cwd
This avoids around some problems where the full path is executables and DSOs it
needed for finding debug symbols on platforms with separated debug symbol files
such as Ubuntu.  This is simpler than tracking an extra name for each image.

The only impact should be that paths in verbose output from the perf tools
become absolute, instead of relative to .

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0f0cbf7aa3 perf ui: New hists tree widget
The stock newt checkbox tree widget we were using was not really
suitable for hist entry + callchain browsing.

The problems with it were manifold:

- We needed to traverse the whole hist_entry rb_tree to add each entry +
  callchains beforehand.

- No control over the colors used for each row

So a new tree widget, based mostly on slang, was written.

It extends the ui_browser class already used for annotate to allow the
user to fold/unfold branches in the callchains tree, using extra fields
in the symbol_map class that is embedded in hist_entry and
callchain_node instances to store the folding state and when changing
this state calculates the number of rows that are produced when showing
a particular hist_entry instance.

This greatly speeds up browsing as we don't have to upfront touch all
the entries and only calculate callchain related operations when some
callchain branch is actually unfolded.

The memory footprint is also reduced as the data structure is not
duplicated, just some extra fields for controling callchain state and to
simplify the process of seeking thru entries (nr_rows, row_offset) were
added.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 63160f73e7 perf ui: Consider the refreshed dimensions in ui_browser__show
When we call ui_browser__show we may have called
ui_browser__refresh_dimensions to check if the maximum lenght for the
contained entries changed, such as when zooming in and out DSOs or
threads in the hist browser.

For that to happen we must delete the old form, that will take care of
deleting the vertical scrollbar, etc, and then recreate them, with the
new dimensions.

In fact its really up to the ui_browser user to state what extra keys
should stop ui_browser__run, and it should handle just the ones needed
for basic browsing.

Frederic Weisbecker 108553e1f3 perf: Sync callchains with period based hits
Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this
period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in
perf report.

But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking
the period into account. So when we compute the percentage,
absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones
too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events
muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the
callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be
the number of raw hits.

perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless
the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the
branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on
the first branch level too.

flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages.

Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

Frederic Weisbecker 97aa105273 perf: Resurrect flat callchains
Initialize the callchain radix tree root correctly.

When we walk through the parents, we must stop after the root, but
since it wasn't well initialized, its parent pointer was random.

Also the number of hits was random because uninitialized, hence it
was part of the callchain while the root doesn't contain anything.

This fixes segfaults and percentages followed by empty callchains
while running:

	perf report -g flat

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 13f499f076 perf ui: Separate showing the entries from running the browser
Another patch eroding the changes I had to move to a tree widget that
doesn't requires adding all entries in an existing list/tree structure
to a generic tree widget, but instead allows traversing just the entries
that should appear on the screen on a given moment.

Andy Isaacson 0f2c3de2ba perf session: fix error message on failure to open perf.data
If we cannot open our data file, print strerror(errno) for a more
comprehensible error message; and only suggest 'perf record' on ENOENT.

In particular, this fixes the nonsensical advice when:

    % sudo perf record sleep 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.009 MB perf.data (~381 samples) ]
    % perf trace
    failed to open file: perf.data  (try 'perf record' first)
    %

Andy Isaacson 84c104ad42 perf debug: fix hex dump partial final line
The loop counter math in trace_event was much more complicated than
necessary, resulting in incorrectly decoding the human-readable
portion of the partial last line of hexdump in "perf trace -D" output:

.  0020:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2f 73 62 69 6e 2f 69 6e  ......../sbin/i

With this fixed (and simpler!) code, we get the correct output:

Chase Douglas 9ed7e1b85c perf probe: Add kernel source path option
The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations.  The
source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags,
but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a
normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to
specify the root of the kernel source tree.

Stephane Eranian a1ac1d3c08 perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cache
There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data
to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary
overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images).

A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file,
simply do:

[buildid]
dir = /dev/null

This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run
basis.  It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still
generated in the perf.data file.

Eric B Munson 70c3856b2f perf symbols: Function descriptor symbol lookup
Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures
that use function descriptors such as ppc64.

The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a
data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address.

We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To
create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor
section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 720a3aeb73 perf session: Remove threads from tree on PERF_RECORD_EXIT
Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that
are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them.

This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the
TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop.

The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this
is the minimalistic patch.

Arun Sharma f60f359383 perf report: Implement --sort cpu
In a shared multi-core environment, users want to analyze why their
program was slow. In particular, if the code ran slower only on certain
CPUs due to interference from other programs or kernel threads, the user
should be able to notice that.

Sample usage:

perf record -f -a -- sleep 3
perf report --sort cpu,comm

Workload:

program is running on 16 CPUs
Experiencing interference from an antagonist only on 4 CPUs.
