4778d2e4f4 perf tools: Read the build-ids from the header layer
Keep the build-ids reading implementation in the data mapping
but move its call to the headers so that we have a better
control on it (offset seeking, size passing, etc..).

57f395a7ea perf tools: Split up build id saving into fetch and write
We are saving the build id once we stop the profiling. And only
after doing that we know if we need to set that feature in the
header through the feature bitmap.

But if we want a proper feature support in the headers, using a
rule of offset/size pairs in sections, we need to know in
advance how many features we need to set in the headers, so that
we can reserve rooms for their section headers.

The current state doesn't allow that, as it forces us to first
save the build-ids to the file right after the datas instead of
planning any structured layout.

That's why this splits up the build-ids processing in two parts:
one that fetches the build-ids from the Dso objects, and one
that saves them into the file.

So that it makes easier to control it. Especially because we

de8967214d perf tools: Synthetize the targeted process
Don't forget to also synthetize the targeted process from perf
record or we'll miss its dso in the events and then we won't be
able to deal with its build-id.

We are missing it because it is created after the existing
synthetized tasks but before the counters are enabled and can
send its mapping event.

8d06367fa7 perf symbols: Use the buildids if present
With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.

'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.

When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.

Example:

 [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
 /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
  # Samples: 2621434559
  #
  # Overhead          Command                  Shared Object  Symbol
  # ........  ...............  .............................  ......
  #
       7.91%             init  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.64%             init  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] read_hpet
       7.60%          swapper  [kernel]        [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
       3.65%             init  [kernel]        [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#

In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.

Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.

Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:

'perf list-buildids'

that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.

Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

d70a5402f9 perf tools: Improve message about missing symtabs for deleted DSOs
Instead of:

  no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package?
  no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so (deleted), maybe install a debug package?

We now emit:

  /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgsttypefindfunctions.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it!
  /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstaudioconvert.so was updated, restart the long running apps that use it!

Which is far less misleading about what the cause of the
symbol mismatch is.

More polishing is needed to print just DSO basename when not
--verbose, etc.

Supporting a 'comm' column requires some more reworking of 'perf
top' internals as we will need to use something like the hist
entries 'perf report' uses and will be done in another patch.

ec29b8d2af perf tools: Remove -Wcast-align
The present use of -Wcast-align causes the build to blow up on
SH due to generating a "cast increases required alignment of
target type" error on each invocation of list_for_each_entry().

It seems that this was previously reported and killed off in the
ia64 support patch, but nothing seems to have happened with
that. Presumably the same problem still remains there, too.

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.

a4fb581b15 perf tools: Bind callchains to the first sort dimension column
Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left
margin. So depending on the current sort dimension
configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the
first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case,
except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm,
because these are right aligned.

This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first
column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol).
Before:

Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but:

- If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it
  with a first ascii hook.

af0a6fa463 perf tools: Fix missing top level callchain
While recursively printing the branches of each callchains, we
forget to display the root. It is never printed.

Say we have:

    symbol
    f1
    f2
     |
     -------- f3
     |        f4
     |
     ---------f5
              f6

Actually we never see that, instead it displays:

    symbol
    |
    --------- f3
    |         f4
    |
    --------- f5
              f6

However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are
sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well
aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks
redundant here.

But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm,
etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather
necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with
its callchain:

     comm     dso        symbol
     f1
     f2
     |
     --------- [...]

And we want the callchain to be obvious.
So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also
filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.

4e3b799d7d perf tools: Use strsep() over strtok_r() for parsing single line
The second argument in the strtok_r() function is not to be used
generically and can have different implementations. Currently
the function parsing of the perf trace code uses the second
argument to copy data from. This can crash the tool or just have
unpredictable results.

The correct solution is to use strsep() which has a defined
result.

I also added a check to see if the result was correct, and will
break out of the loop in case it fails to parse as expected.

'perf report -s comm,dso,symbol'.

This is a natural followup patch to the one that uses

The common case is to annotate the first few entries at the top
of a perf report, so lets type less characters.

ed52ce2e3c perf tools: Add ->unmap_ip operation to struct map
We need this because we get section relative addresses when
reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs
to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need
the address + section back again.

So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances
(that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over
the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that
particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to
match with annotate.

Verified that at least:

 perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary
 perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all

on a 'perf record perf top' session seems to work.

db9f11e36d perf tools: Use DECLARE_BITMAP instead of an open-coded array
Use DECLARE_BITMAP instead of an open coded array for our bitmap
of featured sections.

This makes the array an unsigned long instead of a u64 but since
we use a 256 bits bitmap, the array size shouldn't vary between
different boxes.

2ba0825075 perf tools: Introduce bitmask'ed additional headers
This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
optional features present in the perf.data file.

The layout can be pictured like this:

(Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
n][Feature 255]

If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
compatibility.

The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
this is the first and only one for now.

This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.

And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
version.

 # perf stat -e branches -e branch-misses /bin/true

 Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':
