In following commit we changed the location of callchains data:
72a128aa08
perf tools: Move callchain config from record_opts to callchain_param
Now all callchains stuff stays in callchain_param struct, which adds its
dependency for evsel.c object and breaks python perf.so usage
(unresolved callchain_param).
Moving callchain_param into callchain.c and adding it into
python-ext-sources unleash just another dependency hell, so I ended up
adding callchain_param into util.c for now.

This is due to commit 84f5d36f48 ("perf tools: Move pr_* debug macros

failing to update architectures other than x86.
This patch adds the missing include, and fixes the build again.

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()

When given the number of threads to requeue at once by user input,
there's always the risk of this value being larger than the total number
of threads. This doesn't make any sense, and the kernel can easily deal
with such sort of situations, hence no big deal. We should however
prevent bogus output such as:

Using 'perf trace' for mmap is truncating return values by stripping the
top 32 bits, actually printing only the lower 32 bits.
This was because the ret value was of an 'int' type and not a 'long'
type.
The Problem:
991258501.244 ( 0.004 ms): mmap(len: 40001536, prot: READ|WRITE, flags: PRIVATE|ANONYMOUS, fd: -1) = 0x56691000
991258501.257 ( 0.000 ms): minfault [_int_malloc+0x1038] => //anon@0x7fa056691008 //(d.)
The first line shows an mmap, which succeeds and returns 0x56691000.
However the next line shows a memory access to that virtual memory area,
specifically to 0x7fa056691008. The upper 32 bit is lost due to the
problem mentioned above, and thus mmap's return value didn't have the
upper 0x7fa0.

On systems with more than one socket perf stat --per-core would either
segfault or stop before outputting all cores.
The problem was that the output code referenced the id including the
socket number in the higher bits, which is far beyond any per cpu array.
Mask out the socket number before referencing cpus in abs_printout.
I also renamed the variable in nsec_printout to be clear what it is,
even though it doesn't reference cpus.

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.

autogrow, no need to copy all events to a local pollfd array, just add

Because we want to notice when they get POLLHUP'ed, so that we can
figure out when all threads exited in a workload being monitored.
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
the mmap is.

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.

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.

Decoding an Intel PT trace of the kernel requires an accurate kernel
object image. This is provided by making a copy of kcore. However the
copy needs to be made under the same conditions as the original
recording, and then it needs to be associated with the perf.data file.
The perf-with-kcore script does that.
The script also checks the permissions on the buildid cache and can be
used to fix them. That is needed for distributions where root does not
have a home directory and consequently writes to the same buildid cache
as the user, resulting in cached files that the user does not have
access to.
Example:
$ ./perf-with-kcore
Usage: perf-with-kcore <perf sub-command> <perf.data directory> [<sub-command options> [ -- <workload>]]
<perf sub-command> can be record, script, report or inject
