ef365cefbc perf record: remove unneeded gettimeofday() call
Perf record repeatedly calls gettimeofday() which adds noise to the performance
measurements.  Since gettimeofday() is only used for the error printf, delete
it.

85cb68b27c perf: Fix unaligned accesses while fetching trace values
Accessing trace values of an 8 size may end up in a segfault
on archs that can't deal with misaligned access, which is the
case for sparc 64. This is because PERF_SAMPLE_RAW are aligned
to 4 and not to 8.

Fix this on the macros that get the values of 8 size.

This fixes segfaults on perf tools in sparc 64.

cbb5cf7ff6 perf: Use read() instead of lseek() in trace_event_read.c:skip()
This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced
recently:

root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop
perf trace started with Perl
script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl

  Fatal: did not read header event

commit d00a47cce5 added a skip()
function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for
live mode.  This patch re-implements skip() to use read() instead of
lseek() to fix that.

f869097e88 perf session: Make read_build_id routines look at the host_machine too
The changes made to support host and guest machines in a session, that
started when the 'perf kvm' tool was introduced ended up introducing a
bug where the host_machine was not having its DSOs traversed for
build-id processing.

Fix it by moving some methods to the right classes and considering the
host_machine when processing build-ids.

a41794cdd7 perf tools: Remove some unused functions
Without the bloated cplus_demangle from binutils, i.e building with:

$ make NO_DEMANGLE=1 O=~acme/git/build/perf -j3 -C tools/perf/ install

Before:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 471851	  29280	4025056	4526187	 45106b	/home/acme/bin/perf

After:

[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ size ~/bin/perf
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 446886	  29232	4008576	4484694	 446e56	/home/acme/bin/perf

So its a 5.3% size reduction in code, but the interesting part is in the git
diff --stat output:

 19 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 1909 deletions(-)

If we ever need some of the things we got from git but weren't using, we just
have to go to the git repo and get fresh, uptodate source code bits.

5af52b51f7 perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbers
It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat
to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale
support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for
instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this
feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be
changed. Here is an example.

$ perf stat noploop 2
noploop for 2 seconds

OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these
tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin

Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a

1967936d68 perf options: Check v type in OPT_U?INTEGER
To avoid problems like the one fixed by Stephane Eranian in 3de29ca, now
we'll got this instead:

	bench/sched-messaging.c:259: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’
	bench/sched-messaging.c:261: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’

Which is rather cryptic, but is how BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO works, so kernel
hackers should be already used to this.

With it in place found some problems, fixed by changing the affected
variables to sensible types or changed some OPT_INTEGER to OPT_UINTEGER.

Next csets will go thru converting each of the remaining OPT_ so that
review can be made easier by grouping changes per type per patch.

3de29cab1f perf record: Fix bug mismatch with -c option definition
The -c option defines the user requested sampling period. It was implemented
using an unsigned int variable but the type of the option was OPT_LONG. Thus,
the option parser was overwriting memory belonging to other variables, namely
the mmap_pages leading to a zero page sampling buffer. The bug was exposed only
when compiling at -O0, probably because the compiler was padding variables at
higher optimization levels.

This patch fixes this problem by declaring user_interval as u64. This also
avoids wrap-around issues for large period on 32-bit systems.

Commiter note:

Made it use OPT_U64(user_interval) after implementing OPT_U64 in the
previous patch.

605539034f perf newt: Make <- exit the ui_browser
Right now that means that pressing the left arrow willl make the symbol
annotation window to exit back to the main symbol histogram browser.

This is another improvement on the UI fastpath, i.e. just the arrows and
enter are enough for most browsing.

3e1bbdc3a7 perf newt: Make <- zoom out filters
After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <-
(left arrow) to zoom out from the last filter applied.

It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu.

With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path,
by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key
to expand collapse callchains.

c82ee828aa perf report: Report number of events, not samples
Number of samples is meaningless after we switched to auto-freq, so
report the number of events, i.e. not the sum of the different periods,
but the number PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE emitted by the kernel.

While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the
event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in
struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent.

This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry
the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we
use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the
tree of hist entries like it is being done in the TUI report browser.

cee75ac7ec perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usage
The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period,
and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period
fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid
sampling artifacts.

Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost
fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped.

Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and
stop doing it again.

2e6cdf996b perf tools: change event inheritance logic in stat and record
By default, event inheritance across fork and pthread_create was on but the -i
option of stat and record, which enabled inheritance, led to believe it was off
by default.

This patch fixes this logic by inverting the meaning of the -i option.  By
default inheritance is on whether you attach to a process (-p), a thread (-t)
or start a process. If you pass -i, then you turn off inheritance. Turning off
inheritance if you don't need it, helps limit perf resource usage as well.

The patch also fixes perf stat -t xxxx and perf record -t xxxx which did not
start the counters.

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.

d11c7addfe perf symbols: allow forcing use of cplus_demangle
For Fedora, I want to force perf to link against libiberty.a for
cplus_demangle, rather than libbfd.a for bfd_demangle due to licensing insanity
on binutils. (libiberty is LGPL2, libbfd is GPL3.)

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.

de068ec048 perf: Fix static strings treated like dynamic ones
The raw_field_ptr() helper, used to retrieve the address of a field
inside a trace event, treats every strings as if they were dynamic
ie: having a secondary level of indirection to retrieve their
contents.

FIELD_IS_STRING doesn't mean FIELD_IS_DYNAMIC, we only need to
compute the secondary dereference for the latter case.

This fixes perf sched segfaults, bad cmdline report and may be
some other bugs.
