Use DECLARE_BITMAP instead of an open coded array for our bitmap
of featured sections.
This makes the array an unsigned long instead of a u64 but since
we use a 256 bits bitmap, the array size shouldn't vary between

This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
optional features present in the perf.data file.
The layout can be pictured like this:
(Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
n][Feature 255]
If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
compatibility.
The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
this is the first and only one for now.
This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.
And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
version.

Randy Dunlap reported that 'make NO_64BIT=1' fails to build
a pure 32-b it binary on 64-bit/64-bit x86 systems.
The reason is that we dont pass in the -m32 and GCC defaults
to -m64.
So pass it in - and also extend the warning message about libelf
dependencies - glibc-dev[el] is needed as well beyond the libelf

This reverts commit 9a92b479b2 ("perf
tools: Improve thread comm resolution in perf sched") and fixes the
real bug.
The bug was elsewhere:
We are failing to resolve thread names in perf sched because the
table of threads we are building, on top of comm events, has a per
process granularity. But perf sched, unlike the other perf tools,
needs a per thread granularity as we are profiling every tasks
individually.
So fix it by building our threads table using the tid instead of
the pid as the thread identifier.

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.

This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.
This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.
A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.
That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.
But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

Currently, we are mapping perf.data in the beginning of the file
and use the data offset as a buffer offset.
This may exceed the mapping area if the data offset is upper than
page_size * mmap_window and result in a page fault (thing that
happen if we merge trace.info in perf.data).
Instead, let's start the mapping in the page that matches our data
offset.
v2: Drop a junk from another patch (trace_report() removal)

Use auto-freq events by default in perf record and
perf top.
This allows more consistent hardware event sampling,
regardless of the intensity of the underlying event.
It also keeps us from over-sampling on larger/busier
systems.
(also make surrounding initializations more consistent)

The sign info used for filters in the kernel is also useful to
applications that process the trace stream. Add it to the format
files and make it available to userspace.

Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.

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.

In resolve_symbol, as we're moving to breaking the kernel symbols
list per address ranges, i.e. kernel linking sections, so that we
don't have a big kernel_map that in its range covers what is in the
modules.
