To reduce the chances we'll overflow the mmap buffer, manual fine tuning
trumps this.

When the user doesn't set --mmap-pages, perf_evlist__mmap() will do it
by reading the maximum possible for a non-root user from the
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb file.
Expose that function so that 'perf trace' can, for root users, to bump
mmap-pages to a higher value for root, based on the contents of this
proc file.

If one uses:
# perf trace --min-stack 16
Then it implicitly means that callgraphs should be enabled, and the best
option in terms of widespread availability is "dwarf".
Further work needed to choose a better alternative, LBR, in capable
systems.

The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:
# perf test -v python

--- start ---
test child forked, pid 18030
Traceback (most recent call last):

#
This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
callchain_cursor variables.
Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
variable.

Currently show_config() has a problem when user and system config files
have the same config variables i.e.:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[top]
children = false
When $(sysconfdir) is /usr/local/etc
# cat /usr/local/etc/perfconfig
[top]
children = true
Before:
# perf config --user --list
top.children=false
# perf config --system --list
top.children=true
# perf config --list
top.children=true
top.children=false
Because perf_config() can call show_config() each the config file (user
and system). Fix it.
After:
# perf config --user --list
top.children=false
# perf config --system --list
top.children=true
# perf config --list
top.children=false

This option appends current timestamp to the output file name.
For example:
# perf record -a --timestamp-filename
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Dump perf.data.2015122622265847 ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.742 MB perf.data.<timestamp> (90 samples) ]
# ls
perf.data.201512262226584
The timestamp will be useful for identifying each perf.data after the

- Automagically create a 'bpf-output' event, easing the setup of BPF
C "scripts" that produce output via the perf ring buffer. Now it is
just a matter of calling any perf tool, such as 'trace', with a C
source file that references the __bpf_stdout__ output channel and
that channel will be created and connected to the script:
# trace -e nanosleep --event test_bpf_stdout.c usleep 1
0.013 ( 0.013 ms): usleep/2818 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffcead45f40 ) ...

0.015 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff81112460))
0.261 ( ): __bpf_stdout__:Raise a BPF event!..)
0.262 ( ): perf_bpf_probe:func_end:(ffffffff81112460 <- ffffffff81003d92))
0.264 ( 0.264 ms): usleep/2818 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
#
Further work is needed to reduce the number of lines in a perf bpf C source
file, this being the part where we greatly reduce the command line setup (Wang Nan)
- 'perf trace' now supports callchains, with 'trace --call-graph dwarf' using
libunwind, just like 'perf top', to ask the kernel for stack dumps for CFI
processing. This reduces the overhead by asking just for userspace callchains
and also only for the syscall exit tracepoint (raw_syscalls:sys_exit)
(Milian Wolff, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Try it with, for instance:
# perf trace --call dwarf ping 127.0.0.1
An excerpt of a system wide 'perf trace --call dwarf" session is at:
https://fedorapeople.org/~acme/perf/perf-trace--call-graph-dwarf--all-cpus.txt
You may need to bump the number of mmap pages, using -m/--mmap-pages,
but on a Broadwell machine the defaults allowed system wide tracing to
work without losing that many records, experiment with just some
syscalls, like:
# perf trace --call dwarf -e nanosleep,futex
All the targets available for 'perf record', 'perf top' (--pid, --tid, --cpu,
etc) should work. Also --duration may be interesting to try.
To get filenames from in various syscalls pointer args (open, ettc), add this
to the mix:
# perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
Making this work is next in line:
# trace --call dwarf --ev sched:sched_switch/call-graph=fp/ usleep 1
I.e. honouring per-tracepoint callchains in 'perf trace' in addition to
in raw_syscalls:sys_exit.

The fprintf_sym() and fprintf_callchain() methods now allow users to
change the existing behaviour of showing "[unknown]" as the name of
unresolved symbols to instead show "[0x123456]", i.e. its address.
The current patch doesn't change tools to use this facility, the results
from 'perf trace' and 'perf script' cotinue like:
70.109 ( 0.001 ms): qemu-system-x8/10153 poll(ufds: 0x7f2d93ffe870, nfds: 1) = 0 Timeout
[unknown] (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)

start_thread+0xca (/usr/lib64/libpthread-2.22.so)
__clone+0x6d (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)
The next patch will make 'perf trace' use the new formatting.

finishing it at syscall exit, so reduce the overhead by asking for
callchains just at syscall exit.

The rename is for consistency with the parameter name.
Make it public for fine grained control of which evsels should have
callchains enabled, like, for instance, will be done in the next

Now, one can print the call chain for every encountered sys_exit event,
e.g.:
$ perf trace -e nanosleep --call-graph dwarf path/to/ex_sleep
1005.757 (1000.090 ms): ex_sleep/13167 nanosleep(...) = 0
syscall_slow_exit_work ([kernel.kallsyms])
syscall_return_slowpath ([kernel.kallsyms])
int_ret_from_sys_call ([kernel.kallsyms])
__nanosleep (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
[unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
QThread::sleep (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.0)
main (path/to/ex_sleep)
__libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.23.so)
_start (path/to/ex_sleep)
Note that it is advised to increase the number of mmap pages to prevent
event losses when using this new feature. Often, adding `-m 10M` to the
`perf trace` invocation is enough.
This feature is also available in strace when built with libunwind via
`strace -k`. Performance wise, this solution is much better:
$ time find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
real 0m0.051s
user 0m0.013s
sys 0m0.037s
$ time perf trace -m 800M --call-graph dwarf find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
real 0m2.624s
user 0m1.203s
sys 0m1.333s
$ time strace -k find path/to/linux &> /dev/null
real 0m35.398s
user 0m10.403s
sys 0m23.173s
Note that it is currently not possible to configure the print output.
Adding such a feature, similar to what is available in `perf script` via
its `--fields` knob can be added later on.
