4768230ad5 perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__remove()
Add a counterpart to perf_evlist__add() that does the opposite and

dddcf6abbf perf evlist: Add perf_evlist__id2evsel_strict()
perf_evlist__id2evsel_strict() is the same as perf_evlist__id2evsel()
except that it ensures that the id must match.

This will be used by perf inject to find a specific evsel that is to be
deleted, hence the need to match exactly.

f114d6eff7 perf evlist: Fix splice_list_tail() not setting evlist
Commit d49e469507 ("perf evsel: Add a backpointer to the evlist a
evsel is in") updated perf_evlist__add() but not
perf_evlist__splice_list_tail().

This illustrates that it is better if perf_evlist__splice_list_tail()
calls perf_evlist__add() instead of duplicating the logic, so do that.
This will also simplify a subsequent fix for propagating maps.

ec9a77a7e3 perf evlist: Add has_user_cpus member
Subsequent patches will need to call perf_evlist__propagate_maps without
reference to a "target".  Add evlist->has_user_cpus to record whether
the user has specified which cpus to target (and therefore whether that
list of cpus should override the default settings for a selected event
i.e. the cpu maps should be propagated)

d5bc056e73 perf evlist: Remove redundant validation from propagate_maps()
The validation checks that the values that were just assigned, got
assigned i.e. the error can't ever happen.  Subsequent patches will call
this code in places where errors are not being returned.  Changing those
code paths to return this non-existent error is counter-productive, so
just remove it.

That in turn results in perf_evlist__set_maps not needing to return an
error, but callers aren't checking it either, so remove that too.

718c602d67 perf evlist: Add support for mmapping an AUX area buffer
This patch supports the addition to the kernel of AUX area buffers that
can be mmapped separately from the perf-events buffer.

The AUX buffer can be configured to contain hardware-produced trace
information. The first implementation will support Intel BTS and Intel
PT.

One auxtrace buffer is mmapped per perf-events buffer.  If the requested
auxtrace buffer size is zero, which it will be until further support is
added, then no auxtrace mmapping is attempted.

a73b6c199a perf top: Fix SIGBUS on sparc64
perf-top is terminating due to SIGBUS on sparc64. git bisect points to:

    commit 8239698603
    Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
    Date:   Mon Sep 8 13:26:35 2014 -0300

        perf evlist: Refcount mmaps

        We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via
        PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap,
        refcount it.

This commit added 'int refcnt' to struct perf_mmap and the addition makes the
event_copy element no longer 8-byte aligned.

Fix by adding __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the event_copy struct
member.

8239698603 perf evlist: Refcount mmaps
We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap,
refcount it.

v2: Automatically unmap it when the refcount hits one, which will happen
when all fds are filtered by perf_evlist__filter_pollfd(), in later
patches.

1b85337d06 tools lib api: Adopt fdarray class from perf's evlist
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.

1ddec7f0d0 perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__filter_pollfd method
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.

tracepoints.

a65cb4b9f8 perf evlist: Fix perf_evlist__mmap_read event overflow
The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event' as a placeholder for
event crossing the mmap boundary.

This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However we could grow up
to the maximum sample size which is 16 bits max.

I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf' which produces
sample with the size around 8192 bytes.  We could configure any valid
sample size here using: '-G dwarf,size'.

Using array with sample max size instead for the event placeholder. Also
adding another safe check for the dynamic size of the user stack.

TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we could use some
lazy allocation for event_copy size.
