I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to
just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a
perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file,
events, etc, so I untied these layers.
This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of
parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was
reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by
only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms
and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the
main kernel map.

Open perf data file with O_LARGEFILE flag since its size is
easily larger that 2G.
For example:
# rm -rf perf.data
# ./perf kmem record sleep 300
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3142.147 MB perf.data
(~137282513 samples) ]
# ll -h perf.data
-rw------- 1 root root 3.1G .....

linux/hash.h, hash header of kernel, is also useful for perf.
util/include/linuxhash.h includes linux/hash.h, so we can use
hash facilities (e.g. hash_long()) in perf now.

This patch is required to test the next patch for perf lock.
At 064739bc4b3d7f424b2f25547e6611bcf0132415 ,
support for the modifier "__data_loc" of format is added.
But, when I wanted to parse format of lock_acquired (or some
event else), raw_field_ptr() did not returned correct pointer.
So I modified raw_field_ptr() like this patch. Then
raw_field_ptr() works well.

Probably this wasn't noticed when testing this on my parisc
machine because I must have copied manually to its cache the
vmlinux file used in the x86_64 machine, now that I tried
looking on a x86-32 machine with a fresh cache, kernel symbols
weren't being resolved even with the right kallsyms copy on its
cache, duh.

For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its
build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache.
Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a
perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have
the tools find it when resolving symbols.
It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

getline() is considered as undeclared in util/util.c because
it includes string.h, that in turn includes stdio.h, without
having defined _GNU_SOURCE.
But util.c also includes util.h that handles the _GNU_SOURCE and
all the needed inclusions already. Let's include only util.h
and sys/mman.h which is the only one header not handled by
util.h
This fixes the following build error:
util/util.c: In function 'slow_copyfile':
util/util.c:49: erreur: implicit declaration of function
'getline' util/util.c:49: erreur: nested extern declaration of 'getline'

Using this option 'perf buildid-list' will process all samples,
marking the DSOs that had some hits to list just them.
This in turn will be used by a new porcelain, 'perf archive',
that will be just a shell script to create a tarball from the
'perf buildid-list --with-hits' output and the files cached by
'perf record' in ~/.debug.

In the past 'perf record' had to process only userspace MMAP
events, the ones generated in the kernel, but after we reused
the MMAP events to encode the module mapings we ended up adding
them first to the list of userspace DSOs (dsos__user) and to the
kernel one (dsos__kernel).
Fix this by encoding the header.misc field and then using it,
like other parts to decide the right DSOs list to insert/find.
The gotcha here is that since the kernel puts zero in .misc,
which isn't PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 1), to differentiate,
we put 1 in .misc.

So I think this is really, really nice in that it demonstrates
the portability of perf.data files and the use of build-ids
accross such aliens worlds :-)
There are some things to fix tho, like the bitmap on the header,
but things are looking good.

We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules,
even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense
when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same
machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at
all, right Peter? ;-)
Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long
path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we
did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking
about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use
.{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so
that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right
away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we
did in the past (and now only in perf record).
One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally
be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

So that we can restore them to the right DSO list (either

Add --line option to support showing probable source-code lines.
perf probe --line SRC:LN[-LN|+NUM]
or
perf probe --line FUNC[:LN[-LN|+NUM]]
This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
information of those lines.
The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
"func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.
e.g.
# ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
<kernel/sched.c:1080>
*
* called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled
*/
static void hrtick_start(struct rq *rq, u64 delay)

struct hrtimer *timer = &rq->hrtick_timer;
1086 ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay);
hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time);

1093 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd,
1094 rq->hrtick_csd_pending = 1;
If you specifying function name, this shows function-relative
line number.

DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a
PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on
monitored threads.
To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having
'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded
like this:
[root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ]
[root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10
0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1
.
. ... raw event: size 64 bytes
. 0000: 01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........
. 0010: 00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...............
. 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........ [kernel
. 0030: 6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00 kallsyms._text]
. 0xd0
[0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text]
I.e. we identify such event as having:
.pid = 0
.filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME]
.start = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time
and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME.
Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and
thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME
and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must
change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as
the relocation to apply.
This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and
don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

A few more optimizations for perf when dealing with directories.
Some of them significantly cut down the work which has to be
done. d_type should always be set; otherwise fix the kernel
code. And there are functions available to parse fstab-like
files, so use them.

Now a cache will be created in a ~/.debug debuginfo like
hierarchy, so that at the end of a 'perf record' session all the
binaries (with build-ids) involved get collected and indexed by
their build-ids, so that perf report can find them.
This is interesting when developing software where you want to
do a 'perf diff' with the previous build and opens avenues for
lots more interesting tools, like a 'perf diff --graph' that
takes more than two binaries into account.
Tunables for collecting just the symtabs can be added if one
doesn't want to have the full binary, but having the full binary
allows things like 'perf rerecord' or other tools that can
re-run the tests by having access to the exact binary in some
perf.data file, so it may well be interesting to keep the full
binary there.
Space consumption is minimised by trying to use hard links, a
'perf cache' tool to manage the space used, a la ccache is
required to purge older entries.
With this in place it will be possible also to introduce new
commands, 'perf archive' and 'perf restore' (or some more
suitable and future proof names) to create a cpio/tar file with
the perf data and the files in the cache that _had_ perf hits of
interest.
There are more aspects to polish, like finding the right vmlinux
file to cache, etc, but this is enough for a first step.

Since now all that we have are perf event handlers, leave just
the name of the event.

As this is a session property, not belonging to perf_event_ops,
that can be shared by many perf_session instances.
