Sometimes we want just to print a message on the center of the screen,
like in 'perf top' while we wait for the minimum amount of samples to be
collected before sorting and showing them.
Also expose __ui__info_window() as an optimization for cases where such
message is to be printed while holding the ui lock.

The tools/lib/traceevent/Makefile had a test added to it to detect a failure
of the "nm" when making the dynamic list file (whatever that is). The
problem is that the test sorts the values "U W w" and some versions of sort
will place "w" ahead of "W" (even though it has a higher ASCII value, and
break the test.
Add 'tr "w" "W"' to merge the two and not worry about the ordering.

# perf probe kernel_function
# perf record -e cycles,probe:kernel_function
And then, in 'perf script' or 'perf report' say:

And then the cycles event samples will be considered only after we
find the first probe:kernel_function event.
There is also --switch-off=event, to make it stop considering events
out of some window, say to avoid some winding down of a workload.
The same can be done with the "live mode" tools: 'perf top' and 'perf trace'.
There are examples in the cset comments showing how to use it with
SDT events in things like 'systemtap', that have those tracepoint-like
events for the start/end of passes, etc.
Another example involves selecting scheduler events + entry/exit of
a syscall, using the syscalls tracepoints, one can then see the
scheduler events that take place while that syscall is being processed.
In the future this should be possible in record/top/trace via eBPF
where the perf tools would hook into the marker events and enable events
put in place but not enabled when the on/off conditions are the desired
ones, reducing the amount of events sampled, but this userspace only

Commit e5adfc3e7e ("perf map: Synthesize maps only for thread group
leader") changed the recording side so that we no longer get mmap events
for threads other than the thread group leader (when synthesising these
events for threads which exist before perf is started).
When a file recorded after this change is loaded, the lack of mmap
records mean that unwinding is not set up for any other threads.
This can be seen in a simple record/report scenario:
perf record --call-graph=dwarf -t $TID
perf report
If $TID is a process ID then the report will show call graphs, but if
$TID is a secondary thread the output is as if --call-graph=none was
specified.
Following the rationale in that commit, move the libunwind fields into
struct map_groups and update the libunwind functions to take this
instead of the struct thread. This is only required for
unwind__finish_access which must now be called from map_groups__delete
and the others are changed for symmetry.
Note that unwind__get_entries keeps the thread argument since it is
required for symbol lookup and the libdw unwind provider uses the thread
ID.

Just like 'perf trace' and 'perf script', should be useful for instance
to only consider samples after the initialization phase of some
workload.
The man page has some examples and considerations about its current
interface, that still doesn't handle the on/off events in a special way,
behaving just like when multiple events are specified, i.e.:
- In non-group mode (when the event list is not enclosed in {}) show a
a menu to allow choosing which event the user wants to see in the
histograms browser
- In group mode, be it using {} or asking for --group, show one column
per event.
Try for instance:
# perf top -e '{cycles,instructions,probe:icmp_rcv}' --switch-on=probe:icmp_rcv
Replace probe:icmp_rcv, that I put in place using:
# perf probe icmp_rcv:59
To hit when broadcast packets arrive, with a probe installed after an
initialization phase is over or after some other point of interest, some
garbage collection, etc, and also use --switch-off, for instance, on a
probe installed after said garbage collection is over.

Expose the aux_output attribute flag to the user to configure, by adding a
config term 'aux-output'. For events that support it, selection of
'aux-output' causes the generation of AUX records instead of event records.
This requires that an AUX area event is also provided.

It is sometimes useful to generate a snapshot when perf record exits;
I've been using a wrapper script around the workload that would do a
killall -USR2 perf when the workload exits.
This patch makes it easier and also works when perf record is attached
to a pre-existing task. A new snapshot option 'e' can be specified in
-S to enable this behavior:
root@elsewhere:~# perf record -e intel_pt// -Se sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.085 MB perf.data ]

Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss. Make
perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el],
fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.
Committer notes:
$ perf test python
18: 'import perf' in python : FAILED!
$ perf test -v python
Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
18: 'import perf' in python :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 23288
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: cap_get_flag
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: FAILED!
$
This happens because differently from the perf binary generated with
this patch applied:
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
libcap.so.2 => /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f724a4ef000)
$
The python binding isn't linking with libcap:
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
$
So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:
$ perf test python
18: 'import perf' in python : Ok
$
If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:
$ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
$ perf test python
18: 'import perf' in python : Ok
