Masami Hiramatsu 6430a94ead perf buildid-cache: Scan and import user SDT events to probe cache
perf buildid-cache --add <binary> scans given binary and add
the SDT events to probe cache. "sdt_" prefix is appended for
all SDT providers to avoid event-name clash with other pre-defined
events. It is possible to use the cached SDT events as other cached
events, via perf probe --add "sdt_<provider>:<event>=<event>".

e.g.
  ----
  # perf buildid-cache --add /lib/libc-2.17.so
  # perf probe --cache --list | head -n 5
  /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so (a6fb821bdf53660eb2c29f778757aef294d3d392):
  sdt_libc:setjmp=setjmp
  sdt_libc:longjmp=longjmp
  sdt_libc:longjmp_target=longjmp_target
  sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
  # perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so \
    -a sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on memory_heap_new
   in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e sdt_libc:memory_heap_new -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
    sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on new_heap+183 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
  ----

Note that SDT event entries in probe-cache file is somewhat different
from normal cached events. Normal one starts with "#", but SDTs are
starting with "%".

Masami Hiramatsu 8d8c8e4cb3 perf buildid-cache: Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE
Add --purge FILE to remove all caches of FILE.

Since the current --remove FILE removes a cache which has
same build-id of given FILE. Since the command takes a
FILE path, it can confuse user who tries to remove cache
about FILE path.

  -----
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf
  Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  # (update the ./perf binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --remove ./perf
  Removing 305bbd1be68f66eca7e2d78db294653031edfa79 ./perf: FAIL
  ./perf wasn't in the cache
  -----
Actually, the --remove's FAIL is not shown, it just silently fails.

So, this patch adds --purge FILE action for such usecase.

perf buildid-cache --purge FILE removes all caches which has same FILE
path.

In other words, it removes all caches including old binaries.

  -----
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --add ./perf
  Adding 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  # (update the ./perf binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache -v --purge ./perf
  Removing 133b7b5486d987a5ab5c3ebf4ea14941f45d4d4f ./perf: Ok
  -----

BTW, if you want to purge all the caches, remove ~/.debug/* .

Masami Hiramatsu a50d11a10c perf buildid-cache: Add new buildid cache if update target is not cached
Add new buildid cache if the update target file is not cached.

This can happen when an old binary is replaced by new one after caching
the old one. In this case, user sees his operation just failed.

But it does not look straight, since user just pass the binary "path",
not "build-id".

  ----
  # ./perf buildid-cache --add ./perf
  (update ./perf to new binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache --update ./perf
  ./perf wasn't in the cache
  #
  ----

This patch adds given new binary to cache if the new binary is
not cached. So we'll not see the above error.

  ----
  # ./perf buildid-cache --add ./perf
  (update ./perf to new binary)
  # ./perf buildid-cache --update ./perf

Adrian Hunter fc1b691d76 perf buildid-cache: Add ability to add kcore to the cache
kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code.  However,
kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel
decides to modify its own code.  Consequently it is useful to create a
copy of kcore at a particular time.  Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique
for a given build-id.  And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files
are also needed.  The tool therefore creates a directory:

	~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh>

which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules.

Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections.  See the
kcore_copy() function for how that is determined.

The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already
one with the same modules at the same addresses.

Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache.  That is
addressed in another patch.

Namhyung Kim eeb4984542 perf buildid-cache: Add --update option
When adding vmlinux file to build-id cache, it'd be fail since kallsyms
dso with a same build-id was already added by perf record.

So one needs to remove the kallsyms first to add vmlinux into the cache.
Add --update option for doing it at once.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo fbb6976c2f perf buildid-cache: Add option to show build ids that are missing in the cache
This will allow to connect with services being put in place by distros such as
Fedora, where one can retrieve DSOs by their build-id.

Example usage:

	for buildid in $(perf buildid-cache --missing perf.data | cut -d' ' -f1) ; do
		echo "trying to get $buildid"
		wget -q https://darkserver.fedoraproject.org/buildids/$buildid
		cat $buildid ; echo
		rm -f $buildid
	done

Now its just a matter of some porcelain to get the details provided by such a
service, retrieve the file and use 'perf buildid-cache --add $FILE' to insert
it in the cache, then use 'perf report' or 'annotate' that will find the
required files in the cache.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 11d232ec28 perf inject: Add missing bits
New commands need to have Documentation and be added to command-list.txt
so that they can appear when 'perf' is called withouth any subcommand:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf

 usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]

 The most commonly used perf commands are:
   annotate        Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code
   archive         Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file
   bench           General framework for benchmark suites
   buildid-cache   Manage build-id cache.
   buildid-list    List the buildids in a perf.data file
   diff            Read two perf.data files and display the differential profile
   inject          Filter to augment the events stream with additional information
   kmem            Tool to trace/measure kernel memory(slab) properties
   kvm             Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os
   list            List all symbolic event types
   lock            Analyze lock events
   probe           Define new dynamic tracepoints
   record          Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
   report          Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile
   sched           Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
   stat            Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
   test            Runs sanity tests.
   timechart       Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload
   top             System profiling tool.
   trace           Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output

 See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

The new 'perf inject' command hadn't so it wasn't appearing on that list.

Also fix the long option, that should have no spaces in it, rename the faulty one
to be '--build-ids', instead of '--inject build-ids'.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef12a14130 perf buildid-cache: Add new command to manage build-id cache
For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its
build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache.

Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a
perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have
the tools find it when resolving symbols.

It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.
