00a192b395 perf tools: Simplify the symbol priv area mechanism
Before we were storing this in the DSO, but in fact this is a
property of the 'symbol' class, not something that will vary
among DSOs, so move it to a global variable and initialize it
using the existing symbol__init routine.

6beba7adbe perf tools: Unify debug messages mechanisms
We were using eprintf in some places, that looks at a global
'verbose' level, and at other places passing a 'v' parameter to
specify the verbosity level, unify it by introducing
pr_{err,warning,debug,etc}, just like in the kernel.

e42049926e perf annotate: Use the sym_priv_size area for the histogram
We have this sym_priv_size mechanism for attaching private areas
to struct symbol entries but annotate wasn't using it, adding
private areas to struct symbol in addition to a ->priv pointer.

Scrap all that and use the sym_priv_size mechanism.

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.

2e538c4a18 perf tools: Improve kernel/modules symbol lookup
This removes the ovelapping of vmlinux addresses with modules,
using the ELF section name when using --vmlinux and creating a
unique DSO name when using /proc/kallsyms ([kernel].N).

This is done by creating multiple 'struct map' instances for
address ranges backed by DSOs that have just the symbols for that
range and a name that is derived from the ELF section name.o

Now it is possible to ask for just the symbols in some particular
kernel section:

$ perf report -m --vmlinux ../build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux \
	--dsos [kernel].vsyscall_fn | head -15
    52.73%             Xorg  [.] vread_hpet
    18.61%          firefox  [.] vread_hpet
    14.50%     npviewer.bin  [.] vread_hpet
     6.83%           compiz  [.] vread_hpet
     5.73%         glxgears  [.] vread_hpet
     0.63%             java  [.] vread_hpet
     0.30%   gnome-terminal  [.] vread_hpet
     0.23%             perf  [.] vread_hpet
     0.18%            xchat  [.] vread_hpet
$

Now we don't have to first lookup the list of modules and then, if
it fails, vmlinux symbols, its just a simple lookup for the map
then the symbols, just like for threads.

Reports generated using /proc/kallsyms and --vmlinux should provide
the same results, modulo the DSO name for sections other than
".text".

But they don't right now because things like:

 ffffffff81011c20-ffffffff81012068 system_call
 ffffffff81011c30-ffffffff81011c9b system_call_after_swapgs
 ffffffff81011c9c-ffffffff81011cb6 system_call_fastpath
 ffffffff81011cb7-ffffffff81011cbb ret_from_sys_call

I.e. overlapping symbols, again some ASM special case that we have
to fixup.

818331303b perf tools: elf_sym__is_function() should accept "zero" sized functions
Asm routines that end up having size equal to zero are not really
zero sized, and as now we do kernel_maps__fixup_sym_end, at least
for kernel routines this gets fixed.

A similar fixup needs to be done for the userspace bits as well,
but as this fixup started only because in /proc/kallsyms we don't
have the end address nor the function size, it appeared here first.

af427bf529 perf tools: Create maps for modules when processing kallsyms
So that we get kallsyms processing closer to vmlinux + modules
symtabs processing.

One change in behaviour is that since when one specifies --vmlinux
-m should be used to ask for modules, so it is now for kallsyms as
well.

Also continue if one manages to load the vmlinux data but module
processing fails, so that at least some analisys can be done with
part of the needed symbols.

439d473b47 perf tools: Rewrite and improve support for kernel modules
Representing modules as struct map entries, backed by a DSO, etc,
using /proc/modules to find where the module is loaded.

DSOs now can have a short and long name, so that in verbose mode we
can show exactly which .ko or vmlinux image was used.

As kernel modules now are a DSO separate from the kernel, we can
ask for just the hits for a particular set of kernel modules, just
like we can do with shared libraries:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -n --vmlinux
/home/acme/git/build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux --modules --dsos \[drm\] | head -15
    84.58%      13266             Xorg  [k] drm_clflush_pages
     4.02%        630             Xorg  [k] trace_kmalloc.clone.0
     3.95%        619             Xorg  [k] drm_ioctl
     2.07%        324             Xorg  [k] drm_addbufs
     1.68%        263             Xorg  [k] drm_gem_close_ioctl
     0.77%        120             Xorg  [k] drm_setmaster_ioctl
     0.70%        110             Xorg  [k] drm_lastclose
     0.68%        106             Xorg  [k] drm_open
     0.54%         85             Xorg  [k] drm_mm_search_free
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

Specifying --dsos /lib/modules/2.6.31-tip/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
would have the same effect. Allowing specifying just 'drm.ko' is left
for another patch.

Processing kallsyms so that per kernel module struct map are
instantiated was also left for another patch. That will allow
removing the module name from each of its symbols.

struct symbol was reduced by removing the ->module backpointer and
moving it (well now the map) to struct symbol_entry in perf top,
that is its only user right now.

The total linecount went down by ~500 lines.

508c4d0874 perf tools: Fix module symbol loading bug
Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.

If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.

Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

83a0944fa9 perf: Enable more compiler warnings
Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.

So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:

 -Wcast-align
 -Wformat=2
 -Wshadow
 -Winit-self
 -Wpacked
 -Wredundant-decls
 -Wstack-protector
 -Wstrict-aliasing=3
 -Wswitch-default
 -Wswitch-enum
 -Wno-system-headers
 -Wundef
 -Wvolatile-register-var
 -Wwrite-strings
 -Wbad-function-cast
 -Wmissing-declarations
 -Wmissing-prototypes
 -Wnested-externs
 -Wold-style-definition
 -Wstrict-prototypes
 -Wdeclaration-after-statement

And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.

The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.

I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.

If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)

I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.

I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.

[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
  compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
  produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

Seemingly we don't have a .symtab when we actually can find it
if we use the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section put in place by
some distros. Use it and find the symbols we need.

2cdbc46d7b perf: Auto-detect libbfd
Since the C++ demangling isn't needed for everybody and
bfd/iberty aren't widely/easily available on all machines, make
it optional.

It also allows you to forcefully disable demangling by using
NO_DEMANGLE=1 and otherwise tries to detect libbfd/libiberty
combinations that result in a compiling demangler.

Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour:

  -w, --field-width

Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.

  -t, --field-separator:

Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with
a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

Rename ->prelinked to ->adjust_symbols and making what was done
only for prelinked libraries also to ET_EXEC binaries, such as
/usr/bin/git:

[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -h /usr/bin/git | grep Type
  Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)

And after installing the 'git-debuginfo' package, I get correct results:

I'll check what are the last cases where we can't resolve symbols, like
this 0x00000000095e2e later.

And I guess this will fix the problems Mike were seeing too:

f5812a7a33 perf_counter tools: Adjust only prelinked symbol's addresses
I.e. we can't handle these two kinds of files in the same way:

1) prelinked system library:

[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
   278: 00000030450105a0   261 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 dwfl_report_elf@@ELFUTILS_0.122

2) not prelinked library with debug information from a -debuginfo package:

[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so.debug | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
   629: 00000000000105a0   261 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 dwfl_report_elf
[acme@doppio pahole]$

Now the numbers I got for a pahole perf run are in line with
the numbers I get from oprofile.

c1f47b454c perf_counter tools: Fix vmlinux fallback when running on a different kernel
Lucas De Marchi reported that perf report and perf annotate
displays mismatching profile if a perf.data is analyzed on
an older kernel - even if the correct vmlinux is specified
via the -k option.

The reason is the fallback path in util/symbol.c:dso__load_kernel():

int dso__load_kernel(struct dso *self, const char *vmlinux,
                     symbol_filter_t filter, int verbose)
{
        int err = -1;

        if (vmlinux)
                err = dso__load_vmlinux(self, vmlinux, filter, verbose);

        if (err)
                err = dso__load_kallsyms(self, filter, verbose);

        return err;
}

dso__load_vmlinux() returns negative on error, but on success it
returns the number of symbols loaded - which confuses the function
to load the kallsyms.

This is normally harmless, as reporting is usually performed on the
same kernel that is analyzed - but if there's a mismatch then we
load the wrong kallsyms and create a non-sensical symbol tree.

The fix is to only fall back to kallsyms on errors.

9cffa8d533 perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long.  This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.

Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8.  These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.

The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__".  The other changes are:

* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
  to kill two remaining warnings.

729ff5e2aa perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usage
A build error slipped in:

 builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
 builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

80d496be89 perf report: Add support for profiling JIT generated code
This patch adds support for profiling JIT generated code to 'perf
report'. A JIT compiler is required to generate a "/tmp/perf-$PID.map"
symbols map that is parsed when looking and displaying symbols.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his help with this patch!

Example "perf report" output with the Jato JIT:

e9fbc9dc92 perf_counter tools: Initialize a stack variable before use
the "perf report" utility crashed in some circumstances
because the "sym" stack variable was not initialized before used
(as also proven by valgrind).

With this fix both the crash goes away and valgrind no longer complains.

864709302a perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.
