a4234bfcf4 perf_events: Optimize the swcounter hotpath
The structure init creates a bit memcpy, which shows
up big time in perf annotate output:

          :      ffffffff810a859d <__perf_sw_event>:
     1.68 :      ffffffff810a859d:       55                      push   %rbp
     1.69 :      ffffffff810a859e:       41 89 fa                mov    %edi,%r10d

     0.00 :      ffffffff810a85a4:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax

     0.00 :      ffffffff810a85ab:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
     0.00 :      ffffffff810a85ae:       48 83 ec 60             sub    $0x60,%rsp
     1.52 :      ffffffff810a85b2:       48 8d 7d a0             lea    -0x60(%rbp),%rdi
    85.20 :      ffffffff810a85b6:       f3 ab                   rep stos %eax,%es:(%rdi)

None of the callees depends on the structure being pre-initialized,
so only initialize ->addr. This gets rid of the memcpy overhead.

81516c5fc8 perf: Use default compiler mode by default
gcc with no flags typically is a sane default for systems to
use, and looking at the running kernel is probably broken for
cross-builds anyway, so let's not do this.  Add EXTRA_CFLAGS so
that users can override default gcc mode if they want to.

e57cfcdac6 perf symbols: Fix ELF header errors during "perf kmem record"
The write_event() function in builtin-record.c writes out all
mmap()'d DSOs including non-ELF files like GNOME resource files
and such.

96b02d78a7 perf_event: Remove redundant zero fill
The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is
used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the
string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant.
The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly
closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead.

The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@
expression buffer;
expression size;
expression str;
@@
	memset(buffer, 0, size);

ce71b9df88 tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace event
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.

Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.

e25613683b perf trace: Read_tracing_data should die() another day
It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple:

perf trace [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.182 MB perf.data (~7972 samples) ]
Fatal: not an trace data file
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

That is what is expected, right? I.e. as we didn't specify any
tracepoint event via -e, it should gracefully bail out and not
SEGFAULT.

90c83218c3 perf symbols: Fixup kernel_maps__fixup_end end map
We better call this routine after both the kernel and modules
are loaded, because as it was if there weren't modules it would not
be called, resulting in kernel_map->end remaining at zero, so no
map would be found and consequently the kernel symtab wouldn't
get loaded, i.e. no kernel symbols would be resolved.

Also this fixes another case, that is when we _have_ modules,
but the last map would have its ->end address not set before we
loaded its symbols, which would never happen because ->end was
not set.

8904b18046 perf_events: Fix default watermark calculation
This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling
buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark =
max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received
when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would
never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples).

In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the
problem because there was not enough space left to store the
LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here.
The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to
store one LOST record.

This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size.
With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even
with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a
page.

abf4868b85 perf: Fix PERF_FORMAT_GROUP scale info
As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times
could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted.

It turns out this is because we record the times before reading
the counter while the latter updates the times.

This patch corrects that.

While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of
locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of
that.

f6d9dd237d perf: Optimize perf_event_mmap_ctx()
Remove a rcu_read_{,un}lock() pair and a few conditionals.

We can remove the rcu_read_lock() by increasing the scope of one
in the calling function.

We can do away with the system_state check if the machine still
boots after this patch (seems to be the case).

We can do away with the list_empty() check because the bare
list_for_each_entry_rcu() reduces to that now that we've removed
everything else.

fbd733b815 perf symbols: Check vmlinux buildid
E.g.:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -v --vmlinux
../build/tip/vmlinux > /dev/null build_id in vmlinux is
e96699725a47413a50c231864a8e7a8ced40a31b while expected is
18e7cc53db62a7d35e9d6f6c9ddc23017d38ee9a, ignoring it

I.e. perf top was told to use a vmlinux file that is not the one
currently running on the machine, it ignores it and falls back
to using /proc/kallsyms.

This solves many, at first, mysterious results when people have
a stale vmlinux file while keeping the default of trying to use
the vmlinux file in the current directory in things like 'perf
annotate' where the DWARF info is required and thus we can't use
just /proc/kallsyms.

Modules buildids are already being checked as of the previous
changeset in this series, because we are using the default
dso__load routine, that will look at a series of places looking
for the best file with a matching buildid, starting in the
-debuginfo directories.

c338aee853 perf symbols: Do lazy symtab loading for the kernel & modules too
Just like we do with the other DSOs. This also simplifies the
kernel_maps setup process, now all that the tools need to do is
to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and
kernel will be created, then, later, when
kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call
maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded,
loading it if needed.

Now if one does 'perf top --hide_kernel_symbols' we won't pay
the price of loading the (many) symbols in /proc/kallsyms or
vmlinux.

6671cb1674 perf symbols: Remove unrelated actions from dso__load_kernel_sym
It should just load kernel symbols, not load the list of
modules. There are more stuff to move to other routines, but
lets do it in several steps.

End goal is to be able to defer symbol table loading till we
find a hit for that map address range. So that the kernel &
modules are handled just like all the other DSOs in the system.

loaded modules and kernel, with its buildids, but not load its
symbols. That is something the subcomands that need will have to
call dso__load_kernel_sym(), just like we do with modules with
dsos__load_module_sym()/dso__load_module_sym().

Next csets will actually use this info to stop producing bogus
results using mismatched vmlinux and .ko files.

e30a3d12dd perf symbols: Kill struct build_id_list and die() another day
No need for this struct and its allocations, we can just use the
->build_id member we already have in struct dso, then ask for it
to be read, and later traverse the dsos list, writing the
buildid table to the perf.data file.

As a bonus, one more die() function got killed.
