Thomas Gleixner a1225decc4 perf session: Fix list sort algorithm
The homebrewn sort algorithm fails to sort in time order. One of the problem
spots is that it fails to deal with equal timestamps correctly.

My first gut reaction was to replace the fancy list with an rbtree, but the
performance is 3 times worse.

Rewrite it so it works.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 068ffaa8bf perf tools: Fix lost and unknown events handling
Fix it by explaining what can be happening and giving the number of processed
and lost events.

Also holler if unknown events were found, that can be due to processing a
perf.data file collected using a newer tool where newer events got added on
reporting using an older perf tool, that or a bug, so ask for a report to be
made.

Works on both --tui and --stdio.

Ian Munsie 9d1faba5fe perf symbols: Correct final kernel map guesses
If a 32bit userspace perf is running on a 64bit kernel, the end of the final
map in the kernel would incorrectly be set to 2^32-1 rather than 2^64-1.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 37982ba0a0 perf events: Default to using event__process_lost
Tool developers have to fill in a 'perf_event_ops' method table to
specify how to handle each event, so far the ones that were not
explicitely especified would get a stub that would just discard the
event.

Change that so that tool developers can get the lost event details and
the total number of such events at the end of 'perf report -D' output.

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.

Rabin Vincent 02a9d03772 perf symbols: Remove incorrect open-coded container_of()
At least on ARM, padding is inserted between rb_node and sym in struct
symbol_name_rb_node, causing "((void *)sym) - sizeof(struct rb_node)" to
point inside rb_node rather than to the symbol_name_rb_node.  Fix this

Robert Morell a71123977e perf tools: Remove hardcoded include paths for elfutils
This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build.  The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).

Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.

Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
  and manually included in CFLAGS

Masami Hiramatsu 469b9b8848 perf probe: Add basic module support
Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module
<MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and
variables in the given module.

Currently, this supports only probing on running modules.  Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.

e.g.)
[show lines]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
      0  int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
      1  {
                struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
      3         struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
 ...
[show vars]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
        @<drm_vblank_info+20>
                (unknown_type)  data
                struct drm_info_node*   node
                struct seq_file*        m
[put a probe]
 # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
  probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)

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

        perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1
[list probes]
 # ./perf probe -l
probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3@drivers/gpu/drm/drm_info.c with ...

Stephane Eranian 0f940cb7d9 perf trace scripting: Fix extern struct definitions
Both python_scripting_ops and perl_scripting_ops have two global definitions.
One in trace-event-scripting.c and one in their respective scripting-engine
modules.

The issue is that depending on the linker order one definition or the other
is chosen. One is uninitialized (bss), while the other is initialized. If
the uninitialized version is chosen, then perf does not function properly.

This patch fixes this by adding the extern prefix to the definitions in
trace-event-scripting.c.

Frederic Weisbecker 5225c45899 perf: Initialize callchains roots's childen hits
Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
random values on their creation.

The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.

The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 3c916cc28c perf hists browser: Introduce "expand/collapse all callchains" action
When looking at a callchains enabled perf data file one can find it
tiresome to start with all callchains collapsed and then to have to go
one by one expanding them.

So associate 'E' with "Expand all callchains" and 'C' with "Collapse all
callchains".

This way now one can have the top level view and then switch to/from
having all callchains expanded.

More work is needed to allow expanding just from one branch down to its
leaves.

Frederic Weisbecker 612d4fd7d0 perf: Support for callchains merge
If we sort the histograms by comm, which is the default,
we need to merge some of them, typically different thread
histograms of a same process, or just same comm. But during
this merge, we forgot to merge callchains.

So imagine we have three threads (tids: 1000, 1001, 1002) that
belong to comm "foo".

tid 1000 got 100 events
tid 1001 got 10 events
tid 1002 got 3 events

Once we merge these histograms to get a per comm result, we'll
finally get:

"foo" got 113 events

The problem is if we merge 1000 and 1001 histograms into 1002, then
the end merge result, wrt callchains, will be only callchains that
belong to 1002.
This is because we haven't handled callchains in the merge. Only those
from one of the threads inside a common comm survive.

It means during this merge, we can lose a lot of callchains.

Fix this by implementing callchains merge and apply it on histograms
that collapse.

ui_browser__run() for specialized processing (search, annotate, etc) or

It also abstracts away some more libnewt operations. At some point we'll

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo e918462132 perf annotate tui: Fix exit and RIGHT keys handling
As part of ongoing effort to reduce the coupling with libnewt, browsers
are being changed to return the exit key.

The annotate browser is not returning it as expected by builtin-annotate
when annotating multiple symbols (when 'perf annotate' is called without
specifying a symbol name).

Fix it by returning the exit key and also adding the RIGHT key as a exit
key so that going to the next symbol in the TUI can work again.
