1b7155f7de perf tools: Fix NO_NEWT=1 python build error
Fix the following build error:

     GEN python/perf.so
 In file included from util/evsel.h:10,
                  from util/python.c:6:
 util/hist.h:106:18: error: newt.h: No such file or directory
 error: command 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1
 make: *** [python/perf.so] Error 1

by passing BASIC_CFLAGS to setup.py. BASIC_CFLAGS variable contains
the -DNO_NEWT_SUPPORT switch which prevents building python c
extension with newt.

a3d1ee10d1 perf tools: Makefile: Remove various and sundry cruft
This commit squashes several commits that remove:

 unnecessary uname calls
 `sh -c'
 BUILT_INS and QUIET_BUILT_IN

    They have no effect, and the `fixup-builtins' and `check-builtins.sh'
    scripts don't even exist.

 RUNTIME_PREFIX

    It's currently never anything but unset, and it's apparently
    only meaningful when Microsoft Windows is the operating system
    (according to the source for git).

 TEST_PROGRAMS
 EXTRA_PROGRAMS
 unused SHELL_PATH_SQ portions
 unused test for V=2
 useless exports

    Only when `V' is undefined (that is, only when the value of `V'
    is empty) is `export V' performed, which just has the effect of
    placing the empty-valued variable `V' in the environment.

    The only other script to make use of `V' is `Documentation/Makefile',
    which only checks whether `V' is undefined (that is, whether the value
    of `V' is empty); hence, the `export V' has no effect whatsoever.

    Similarly, `export QUIET_GEN' is useless because it will only have
    a non-empty value when `V' has an empty-value, and when `V' has
    an empty-value, `QUIET_GEN' is always explicitly set in every
    script in which it is used.

    `DESTDIR' is only ever defined by the user via the environment
    or the command line, both of which are automatically exported
    to sub-make processes. Furthermore, no non-make sub-scripts
    make use of `DESTDIR' as an environment variable.

    No other scripts use `perfexec_instdir'.

 unused QUIET_SUBDIR{0,1}
 TAR and RPMBUILD
 PTHREAD_LIBS
 Maintainer's dist rules and commands
 distclean target
 Test suite coverage testing
 PRINT_DIR and NO_SUBDIR
 `configure' target
 NO_CURL
 @@PERF_VERSION@@ substitution

    Without the sed command, all of the rule's commands can be reduced
    to a single line that copies a file and sets the permissions properly
    in the process.

 `make test' echo line
 template_instdir
 PERF-BUILD-OPTIONS
 double-colon rules

    The use of double-colon rules seems misguided or vestigial git.

 Essentially hard-coded $(SCRIPTS) expansion

023695d96e perf tool: Add cgroup support
This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.

The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.

Example:

$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

      2,368,667,414  cycles                   test1
      2,369,661,459  cycles
      <not counted>  cycles                   test2

78f7defedb perf annotate: Move annotate functions to util/
They will be used by perf top, so that we have just one set of routines
to do annotation.

Rename "struct sym_priv" to "struct annotation", etc, to clarify this
code a bit.

Rename "struct sym_ext" to "struct source_line", to give it a meaningful
name, that clarifies that it is a the result of an addr2line call, that
is sorted by percentage one particular source code line appeared in the
annotation.

And since we're moving things around also rename 'sym_hist->ip' to
'sym_hist->addr' as we want to do data structure annotation at some
point.

877108e42b perf tools: Initial python binding
First clarifying that this kind of binding is not a replacement or an
equivalent to the 'perf script' way of using python with perf.

The 'perf script' way is to process events and look at a given script
for some python function that matches the events to pass each event for
processing.

This is a python module, i.e. everything is driven from the python
script, that merely uses "import perf" or "from perf import".

perf script is focused on tracepoints, this binding is focused on profiling as
an initial target. More work is needed to make available tracepoint specific
variables as event variables accessible via this binding.

There is one example of such usage model, in
tools/perf/python/twatch.py, a tool to watch "cycles" events together
with task (fork, exit) and comm perf events.

For now, due to me not being able to grok how python distutils cope with
building C extensions outside the sources dir the install target just
builds it, I'm using it as:

[root@emilia linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~acme/git/build/perf/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/
[root@emilia linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py
cpu:  4, pid: 30126, tid: 30126 { type: mmap, pid: 30126, tid: 30126, start: 0x4, length: 0x82e9ca03, offset: 0, filename:  }

cpu:  2, pid: 2255, tid: 2255 { type: mmap, pid: 2255, tid: 2255, start: 0x2, length: 0xe078757a, offset: 0, filename:  }
cpu:  1, pid: 5769, tid: 5769 { type: fork, pid: 30127, ppid: 5769, tid: 30127, ptid: 5769, time: 103893991270534}
cpu:  6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: comm, pid: 30127, tid: 30127, comm: ls }
cpu:  6, pid: 30127, tid: 30127 { type: exit, pid: 30127, ppid: 30127, tid: 30127, ptid: 30127, time: 103893993273024}

The first 8 mmap events in this 8 way machine are a mistery that is still being
investigated.

More of the tools/perf/util/ APIs will be exposed via this python binding as
the need arises. For now the focus is on creating events and processing them,
symbol resolution is an obvious next step, with tracepoint variables as a close
second step.

68baa431ec perf tools: Add strfilter for general purpose string filter
Add strfilter for general purpose string filter.

Every filter rules are descrived by glob matching pattern and '!' prefix
which means Logical NOT.

A strfilter consists of those filter rules connected with '&' and '|'.

A set of rules can be folded by using '(' and ')'.

It also accepts spaces around rules and those operators.

Format:
<rule> ::= <glob-exp> | "!" <rule> | <rule> <op> <rule> | "(" <rule> ")"
<op> ::= "&" | "|"

e.g.:

 "(add* | del*) & *timer" filter rules pass strings which start with add
 or del and end with timer.

This will be used by perf probe --filter.

Changes in V2:
 - Fix to check result of strdup() and strfilter__alloc().
 - Encapsulate and simplify interfaces as like regex(3).

So fix by doing the same check we already do for -fstack-protector-all.

With this and the other patches in this series, perf builds unmodified
on, for instance, RHEL4.

b38aa89600 perf makefile: Allow strong and weak functions in LIB_OBJS
When we build perf we place all of the .o files from the library files
(util, arch/x/util, etc) into libperf.a which is then linked into perf.

The problem is that the linker will by default only consider .o files
within the .a archive if they are necessary to satisfy an unresolved
symbol. As weak functions are not unresolved, it will not consider a .o
file from the archive containing the strong versions of weak functions
unless it requires it for another reason.

This patch adds the --whole-archive flags to the linker when passing in
the libperf.a file to ensure that it will consider every .o file in the
archive, not just what it believes that it needs. The end result is that
weak functions can now be overridden by strong variants of them in the
libperf.a file.

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

f9af3a4c1f perf tools: Reorganize the Makefile feature tests
Moving the tests to a separate file, feature-tests.mak and using a try-cc
function similar to the try-run in Kbuild.

This also makes the output more quiet as we can stop using the INTERMEDIATE
target to remove the .perf.dev.null file needed for some gcc versions where
/dev/null can't be used as the output file name.

As the tests get shorter by uninlining the source code used to test for
features, we can more properly use identation.

The feature tests itself can be made more clear and reused, like when trying to
see what is needed to have bfd_demangle.

We also get a bit closer to reusing scripts/Kbuild.include, reducing the
distance from the kernel build system.

ef7b93a119 perf report: Librarize the annotation code and use it in the newt browser
Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.

Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.

The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

For Fedora, I want to force perf to link against libiberty.a for

If we just rely on autodetection, we'll end up with libbfd linked against us,
since they're both in binutils-static in the buildroot.
