Jiri Olsa f30a79b012 perf tools: Add reference counting for cpu_map object
Adding refference counting for cpu_map object, so it could be easily
shared among other objects.

Using cpu_map__put instead cpu_map__delete and making cpu_map__delete
static.

Jiri Olsa b39b839309 perf tools: Add parse_events_error interface
Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:

  struct parse_events_error {
    int   idx;
    char *str;
    char *help;
  };

where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.

The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:

  $ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint
  ...

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
  event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
                           \___ unknown term

  valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
  ...

  $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
  event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
                                 \___ parser error
  ...

The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

Adrian Hunter 9e0cc4fe37 perf auxtrace: Add support for AUX area recording
Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.

This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.

Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.

Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.

Adrian Hunter 46ec69add5 perf tools: Fix probing the kernel API with cpu-wide events
Fall back to probing with the current pid if cpu-wide probing fails.
This primarily affects the setting of comm_exec flag when the user is
un-privileged and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid > 0.

The change to comm_exec can be observed by using -vv with perf record
and a kernel that supports comm_exec.

Yann Droneaud 57480d2cd9 perf tools: Enable close-on-exec flag on perf file descriptor
In commit a21b0b354d ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable
close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC
was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace
to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating
the file descriptor.

This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported
by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got
automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.

When we cross the maximum value we fail and display detailed error
message with advise.

  $ perf record -F 3000 ls
  Maximum frequency rate (2000) reached.
  Please use -F freq option with lower value or consider
  tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

In case user does not specify the frequency and the default value cross
the maximum, we display warning and set the frequency value to the
current maximum.

  $ perf record ls
  Lowering default frequency rate to 2000.
  Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

perf_evlist__config() must be moved to a separate source file to avoid
Python link errors when adding support for PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER.

It is appropriate to do this because perf_evlist__config() is a helper
function for event recording.  It is used by tools to apply recording
options to perf_evlist.  It is not used by the Python API.
