With workload that spawns and destroys many threads and processes, it
was found that perf-mem could took a long time to post-process the perf
data after the target workload had completed its operation.
The performance bottleneck was found to be the lookup and insertion of
the new DSO structures (thousands of them in this case).
In a dual-socket Ivy-Bridge E7-4890 v2 machine (30-core, 60-thread), the
perf profile below shows what perf was doing after the profiled AIM7
shared workload completed:
- 83.94% perf libc-2.11.3.so [.] __strcmp_sse42
- __strcmp_sse42
- 99.82% map__new
machine__process_mmap_event
perf_session_deliver_event
perf_session__process_event
__perf_session__process_events
cmd_record
cmd_mem
run_builtin
main
__libc_start_main
- 13.17% perf perf [.] __dsos__findnew
__dsos__findnew
map__new
machine__process_mmap_event
perf_session_deliver_event
perf_session__process_event
__perf_session__process_events
cmd_record
cmd_mem
run_builtin
main
__libc_start_main
So about 97% of CPU times were spent in the map__new() function trying
to insert new DSO entry into the DSO linked list. The whole
post-processing step took about 9 minutes.
The DSO structures are currently searched linearly. So the total
processing time will be proportional to n^2.
To overcome this performance problem, the DSO code is modified to also
put the DSO structures in a RB tree sorted by its long name in
additional to being in a simple linked list. With this change, the
processing time will become proportional to n*log(n) which will be much
quicker for large n. However, the short name will still be searched
using the old linear searching method. With that patch in place, the
same perf-mem post-processing step took less than 30 seconds to
complete.

This is a precursor patch to enable long name searching of DSOs using
a rbtree.
In this patch, a new dsos structure is created which contains only a
list head structure for the moment.
The new dsos structure is used, in turn, in the machine structure for
the user_dsos and kernel_dsos fields.
Only the following 3 dsos functions are modified to accept the new dsos
structure parameter instead of list_head:
- dsos__add()
- dsos__find()
- __dsos__findnew()

Passing pointers to alias modifiers 'unit' and 'scale' isn't very

Instead wrap everything up in a struct perf_pmu_info, which can easily
be expanded when additional alias modifiers are necessary in the future.

We will use this in perf's evlist class so that it can, at
fdarray__filter() time, to unmap the associated ring buffer.
We may need to have further info associated with each fdarray entry, in
that case we'll make that int array a 'union fdarray_priv' one and put a
pointer there so that users can stash whatever they want there. For now,
an int is enough tho.
v2: Add clarification to the per array entry priv area, as well as make
it a union, which makes usage a bit longer, but if/when we make it
use more space by allowing per entry pointers existing users source
code will not have to be changed, just rebuilt.

The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class
can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists
need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it.
v2: Don't use {} like in:
libapi_dirs:
$(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/
in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10.
v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa)
v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to
be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the
fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa)
v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a
bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

We can't just monitor the fds that were mmaped, we need to notice when
all the fds that were PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT'ed too, because the mmap
stays even after the fd that originally was used to do the mmap call
went away, its only when all the set-output fds for a mmap are gone that

We want to know when the fd went away, like when a monitored thread
exits.
If we do not monitor such events, then the tools will wait forever on
events from a vanished thread, like when running:
$ sleep 5s &
$ perf record -p `pidof sleep`
This builds upon the kernel patch by Jiri Olsa that actually makes a
poll on those file descriptors to return POLLHUP.
It is also needed to change the tools to use
perf_evlist__filter_pollfd() to check if there are remainings fds to
monitor or if all are gone, in which case they will exit the
poll/mmap/read loop.

To remove all entries in evlist->pollfd[] that have revents matching at
least one of the bits in the specified mask.
It'll adjust evlist->nr_fds to the number of unfiltered fds and will
return this value, as a convenience and to avoid requiring direct access
to internal state of perf_evlist objects.
This will be used after polling the evlist fds so that we remove fds
that were closed by the kernel.

Some Linux symbols (for example __vt_event_wait) are interpreted by the
demangler as C++ mangled names, which of course they aren't.
Disable kernel symbol demangling by default to avoid this, and allow
enabling it with a new option --demangle-kernel for those who wish it.

This allows default config terms to be provided for a PMU. So, for
example, when the Intel PT PMU is added, it will be possible to specify:
intel_pt//
which will be the same as:
intel_pt/tsc=1,noretcomp=0/
meaning that the trace should contain TSC timestamps and perform 'return
compression'.
An important consideration of this patch is that it must be possible to
overwrite the default values. That has meant changing the logic so that
a zero value can replace a non-zero value.

This enables a PMU event to be specified in the form:
pmu//
which is effectively the same as:
pmu/config=0/
This patch is a precursor to defining default config for a PMU.
Further explanation extracted from lkml thread:
Imagine that the 'tsc' term did not exist.
Intel PT trace data would not contain TSC packets, and the decoder would
not know how to decode them.
Then imagine that a new version of the hardware adds 'tsc'.
It is such a useful feature that we want it by default, but older
versions of the tools don't know how to decode it, so the kernel cannot
turn it on by default.
It is similar to why the kernel does not select perf_event_attr.mmap2 by
default.
The kernel doesn't know whether the tool supports it.

As we run "perf c2c" on more applications, we noticed we're missing
significant samples from a common customer's application. Looking at
the /proc/<pid>/maps file for the app, we see "rwxs" and "rwxp"
permissions on many of the shared memory & heap regions, and on all the
thread stacks.
Because those regions have the "x" bit set, perf marks them with a
MAP_FUNCTION type. Hence ip_resolve_data() never finds load or store
events coming from them.
We fixed this by re-calling thread__find_addr_location with
MAP__FUNCTION in the case where map is NULL as a last ditch effort to
map the sample before giving up and dropping it.

Since the strlist__add doesn't involves any IO, the failure reason must
be ENOMEM or EINVAL, moreover this is just a debug message, we don't
need to show the error string.
And also, if get_probe_trace_command_rawlist() returns NULL, it doesn't
mean the rawlist is empty, there is an error. So caller must use
-ENOMEM for the error.

Current perf report -g/--call-graph option parser requires for option
argument having following order:
type,min_percent[,print_limit],order,key
But sometimes it's annoying to type all even if one just wants to change
the "order" or "key" setting.
This patch fixes it to remove the ordering restriction so that one can
use just "-g caller", for instance. The only remaining restriction is
that the "print_limit" always comes after the "min_percent".
