f9224c5c94 perf report: Implement initial UI using newt
Newt has widespread availability and provides a rather simple
API as can be seen by the size of this patch.

The work needed to support it will benefit other frontends too.

In this initial patch it just checks if the output is a tty, if
not it falls back to the previous behaviour, also if
newt-devel/libnewt-dev is not installed the previous behaviour
is maintaned.

Pressing enter on a symbol will annotate it, ESC in the
annotation window will return to the report symbol list.

More work will be done to remove the special casing in
color_fprintf, stop using fmemopen/FILE in the printing of
hist_entries, etc.

Also the annotation doesn't need to be done via spawning "perf
annotate" and then browsing its output, we can do better by
calling directly the builtin-annotate.c functions, that would
then be moved to tools/perf/util/annotate.c and shared with perf
top, etc

But lets go by baby steps, this patch already improves perf
usability by allowing to quickly do annotations on symbols from
the report screen and provides a first experimentation with
libnewt/TUI integration of tools.

Tested on RHEL5 and Fedora12 X86_64 and on Debian PARISC64 to
browse a perf.data file collected on a Fedora12 x86_64 box.

This can produce unexpected results. For example:

  make -C tools/perf DESTDIR=/home/jkacur/tmp install-man

a12b51c478 perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs
At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1.  These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.

This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely.  For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.

This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online.  The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus.  If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].

The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.

65f2ed2b2f perf report: Print the map table just after samples for which no map was found
If -vv is used just the map table will be printed, -vvv will
print the symbol table too, with it we can see that we have a
bug where some samples are not being resolved to a map when we
get them in the perf.data stream, but after we have it all
processed, we can find the right map, some reordering probably
is happening.

Upcoming patches will provide ways to ask for most PERF_SAMPLE_
conditional samples to be taken for !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events
too, then we'll be able to ask for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME and
PERF_SAMPLE_CPU to help diagnose this.

cbbc79a532 perf report: Add multiple event support
Perf report does not handle multiple events being reported, even
though perf record stores them properly on disk.  This patch
addresses that issue by adding the logic to perf report to use
the event stream id that is saved by record and the new data
structures to seperate the event streams and report them
individually.

da7196e1f9 perf, ARM: Modify kuser rmb() call to compile for Thumb-2
The Thumb-2 instruction set does not provide an encoding
for sub pc, r0, #95 as present in the rmb() definition used
by perf. This results in compilation failure when using a
compiler targetting an instruction set other than ARM.

This patch redefines rmb() for ARM by casting the address
of the kuser helper to a function pointer, therefore getting
the compiler to take care of making the call.

Patch taken against tip/master.

More work is needed to support archiving symtabs for binaries
without a build-id, perhaps creating a perf.data UUID + adding
build-ids for the binaries copied into the cache and then have
this perf.data session UUID be a directory with symlinks to the
by now calculated build-id of the files inside it.

Or just do an extra pass and insert the calculated build-ids in
the perf.data header.

b67577dfb4 perf lock: Drop the buffers multiplexing dependency
We need to deal with time ordered events to build a correct
state machine of lock events. This is why we multiplex the lock
events buffers. But the ordering is done from the kernel, on
the tracing fast path, leading to high contention between cpus.

Without multiplexing, the events appears in a weak order.
If we have four events, each split per cpu, perf record will
read the events buffers in the following order:

[ CPU0 ev0, CPU0 ev1, CPU0 ev3, CPU0 ev4, CPU1 ev0, CPU1 ev0....]

To handle a post processing reordering, we could just read and sort
the whole in memory, but it just doesn't scale with high amounts
of events: lock events can fill huge amounts in few times.

Basically we need to sort in memory and find a "grace period"
point when we know that a given slice of previously sorted events
can be committed for post-processing, so that we can unload the
memory usage step by step and keep a scalable sorting list.

There is no strong rules about how to define such "grace period".
What does this patch is:

We define a FLUSH_PERIOD value that defines a grace period in
seconds.
We want to have a slice of events covering 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD in our
sorted list.
If FLUSH_PERIOD is big enough, it ensures every events that occured
in the first half of the timeslice have all been buffered and there
are none remaining and there won't be further to put inside this
first timeslice. Then once we reach the 2 * FLUSH_PERIOD
timeslice, we flush the first half to be gentle with the memory
(the second half can still get new events in the middle, so wait
another period to flush it)

FLUSH_PERIOD is defined to 5 seconds. Say the first event started on
time t0. We can safely assume that at the time we are processing
events of t0 + 10 seconds, ther won't be anymore events to read
from perf.data that occured between t0 and t0 + 5 seconds. Hence
we can safely flush the first half.

To point out funky bugs, we have a guardian that checks a new event
timestamp is not below the last event's timestamp flushed and that
displays a warning in this case.

84c6f88fc8 perf lock: Fix and add misc documentally things
I've forgot to add 'perf lock' line to command-list.txt,
so users of perf could not find perf lock when they type 'perf'.

Fixing command-list.txt requires document
(tools/perf/Documentation/perf-lock.txt).
But perf lock is too much "under construction" to write a
stable document, so this is something like pseudo document for now.

And I wrote description of perf lock at help section of
CONFIG_LOCK_STAT, this will navigate users of lock trace events.

4385d580f2 perf tools: Flush maps on COMM events
Even though we don't register the counters until the child is right about
to exec(), we're still going to get at least a few events while the
fork()'d child is still executing 'perf' and in particular we're going to
get the MMAP events.

We can't distinguish the ones in the newly executed process because the
PID will be the same.

One way to solve this would be to have a PERF_RECORD_EXEC event, and when
this is seen 'perf' can flush it's map cache.  We can't use
PERF_RECORD_COMM since that's generated by other things, not just exec().

Actually, thinking about it some more, using PERF_RECORD_COMM might be a
good enough approximation.

2a9c8c3609 perf probe: Add lazy line matching support
Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.

1) Define event based on function name
 [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]

2) Define event based on source file with line number
 [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]

3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
 [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]

- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
  must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
  of the definition.

Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).

Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.

e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.

This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
 easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
 'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)

Changes in v3:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.

Changes in v2:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

3cb8bc6ac9 perf probe: Fix bugs in line range finder
Fix find_line_range_by_line() to init line_list and remove
misconseptional found marking which should be done when
real lines are found (if there is no lines probe-able,
find_line_range() should return 0).

628ada0cb0 perf annotate: Defer allocating sym_priv->hist array
Because symbol->end is not fixed up at symbol_filter time, only
after all symbols for a DSO are loaded, and that, for asm
symbols, may be bogus, causing segfaults when hits happen in
these symbols.

c7ad21af2c perf top: Use a macro instead of a constant variable
To overcome a silly gcc warning:

 builtin-top.c: In function ‘lookup_sym_source’:
 builtin-top.c:291: warning: not protecting local variables:
 variable length buffer make: *** [builtin-top.o] Error 1

That is emitted for this:

	char pattern[pattern_len + 1];

c2fbaa4b48 perf/scripts: Tag syscall_name helper as not yet available
syscall_name() helper, which resolves a syscall arch number to
its name, is not yet available as we first need to implement
event injection for it to work.

Remove it from the documentation or tag its references as
unavailable yet. Once it's implemented, we can just revert
the current patch.
