Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 361c99a661 perf evsel: Introduce perf_evlist
Killing two more perf wide global variables: nr_counters and evsel_list
as a list_head.

There are more operations that will need more fields in perf_evlist,
like the pollfd for polling all the fds in a list of evsel instances.

Use option->value to pass the evsel_list to parse_{events,filters}.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a860a60818 perf tools: Add missing header, fixes build
We need the definiton for __always_inline in bitops.h to fix the build
on distros where it isn't available or compiler.h doesn't get included
indirectly.

One of the fixes needed to build perf on RHEL4 systems, for instance.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo baa2f6cedb perf record: Add option to disable collecting build-ids
Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.

For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.

Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

Hitoshi Mitake ea7872b9d6 perf bench: Add feature that measures the performance of the arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S memcpy routines via 'perf bench mem'
This patch ports arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S to perf bench mem
memcpy for benchmarking memcpy() in userland with tricky and
dirty way.

util/include/asm/cpufeature.h, util/include/asm/dwarf2.h, and
util/include/linux/linkage.h are mostly dummy files with small
wrappers, so that we are able to include memcpy_64.S
unmodified.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1967936d68 perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGER
To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:

	bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
	bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’

Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.

Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

This moves the architecture specific code out into a separate

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo b32d133aec perf symbols: Simplify symbol machinery setup
And also express its configuration toggles via a struct.

Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the
defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the
desired configuration.

If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel
and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init()
first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the
subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.

Paul Mackerras ee3d250446 perf tools: Fix compilation on powerpc
Currently, perf fails to compile on powerpc with this error:

     CC util/header.o
 In file included from util/../perf.h:17,
                  from util/header.c:9:
 util/../../../arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h:360:27: error:
 linux/linkage.h: No such file or directory make: ***
 [util/header.o] Error 1

The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect
at the point where <asm/unistd.h> gets included, which means we
get extra stuff that we don't need or want.

This fixes the problem by undefining __KERNEL__ once we have
included the file for which we need __KERNEL__ defined.

Frederic Weisbecker 9e827dd00a perf tools: Bring linear set of section headers for features
Build a set of section headers for features right after the
datas. Each implemented feature will have one of such section
header that provides the offset and the size of the data
manipulated by the feature.

The trace informations have moved after the data and are
recorded on exit time.

The new layout is as follows:

 -----------------------
                             ___
 [ magic               ]      |
 [ header size         ]      |
 [ attr size           ]      |
 [ attr content offset ]      |
 [ attr content size   ]      |
 [ data offset         ]  File Headers
 [ data size           ]      |
 [ event_types offset  ]      |
 [ event_types size    ]      |
 [ feature bitmap      ]      v

 [ attr section        ]
 [ events section      ]

                             ___
 [         X           ]      |
 [         X           ]      |
 [         X           ]    Datas
 [         X           ]      |
 [         X           ]      v

                             ___
 [ Feature 1 offset    ]      |
 [ Feature 1 size      ] Features headers
 [ Feature 2 offset    ]      |
 [ Feature 2 size      ]      v

 [ Feature 1 content   ]
 [ Feature 2 content   ]
 -----------------------

We have as many feature's section headers as we have features in
use for the current file.

Say Feat 1 and Feat 3 are used by the file, but not Feat 2. Then
the feature headers will be like follows:

[ Feature 1 offset    ]      |
[ Feature 1 size      ] Features headers
[ Feature 3 offset    ]      |
[ Feature 3 size      ]      v

There is no hole to cover Feature 2 that is not in use here. We
only need to cover the needed headers in order, from the lowest
feature bit to the highest.

Currently we have two features: HEADER_TRACE_INFO and
HEADER_BUILD_ID. Both have their contents that follow the
feature headers. Putting the contents right after the feature
headers is not mandatory though. While we keep the feature
headers right after the data and in order, their offsets can
point everywhere. We have just put the two above feature
contents in the end of the file for convenience.

The purpose of this layout change is to have a file format that
scales while keeping it simple: having such linear feature
headers is less error prone wrt forward/backward compatibility
as the content of a feature can be put anywhere, its location
can even change by the time, it's fine because its headers will
tell where it is. And we know how to find these headers,
following the above rules.

Frederic Weisbecker 802da5f228 perf tools: Drop asm/types.h wrapper
Wrapping the kernel headers is dangerous when it comes to arch
headers. Once we wrap asm/types.h, it will also replace the
glibc asm/types.h, not only the kernel one.

This results in build errors on some machines.

Drop this wrapper and do its work from linux/types.h wrapper,
also the glibc asm/types.h can already handle most of the type
definition it was doing (typedef __u64, __u32, etc...).

Todo: Check the others asm/*.h wrappers to prevent from other
conflicts.

    16.75%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so  [.] __tsearch
[acme@doppio pahole]$

Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour:

  -w, --field-width

Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.

  -t, --field-separator:

Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with
a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 43cbcd8acb perf_counter tools: Share rbtree.with the kernel
The tools/perf/util/rbtree.c copy already drifted by three
csets:

 4b324126e0
 4c60117811

So remove the copy and use the lib/rbtree.c directly, sharing
the source code while still generating a separate object file,
since tools/perf uses a far more agressive -O6 switch.
