The time ordering is generic for all kinds of events, so using generic
name 'ordered_events' for ordered_samples bool in perf_tool struct.
No functional change was intended.

Currently, we may either trace syscalls or syscalls+pagefaults.
We'd like to be able to trace *only* pagefaults and this commit
implements this feature.
Example:
[root@zoo /]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches ; trace --no-syscalls -F -p `pidof xchat`
0.000 ( 0.000 ms): xchat/4574 majfault [g_unichar_get_script+0x11] => /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.3800.2@0xc403b (x.)
0.202 ( 0.000 ms): xchat/4574 majfault [_cairo_hash_table_lookup+0x53] => 0x2280ff0 (?.)
20.854 ( 0.000 ms): xchat/4574 majfault [gdk_cairo_set_source_pixbuf+0x110] => /usr/bin/xchat@0x6da1f (x.)
1022.000 ( 0.000 ms): xchat/4574 majfault [__memcpy_sse2_unaligned+0x29] => 0x7ff5a8ca0400 (?.)
^C[root@zoo /]#
Below we can see malloc calls, 'trace' reading symbol tables in libraries to
resolve symbols, etc.
[root@zoo /]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches ; trace --no-syscalls -F all --cpu 1 sleep 10

This patch adds optional pagefault tracing support to 'perf trace'.
Using -F/--pf option user can specify whether he wants minor, major or
all pagefault events to be traced. This patch adds only live mode,
record and replace will come in a separate patch.
Example output:
1756272.905 ( 0.000 ms): curl/5937 majfault [0x7fa7261978b6] => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkrb5.so.26.0.0@0x85288 (d.)

There was a brown paper bag bug in the patch that introduced a reference
implementation on using 'perf probe' made wannabe tracepoints that broke fd ->
pathname resolution, fix it:
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string'
Added new event:
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:65 with pathname=result->name:string)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1

x86_64) arches
Supporting decoding the ioctl 'request' parameter needs more work to
properly support more architectures, the current approach doesn't work
on at least powerpc and sparc, as reported by Ben Hutchings in
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] .
Work around that by making it to be ifdefed for the architectures known
to work with the current, limited approach, i386 and x86_64 till better
code is written.

That is how the option summary describes it and so that we can free

In order to get the proper plugins processing we need to use full
trace-event interface when creating tracepoint events. So far we were
using shortcut to get the parsed format.
Moving current 'event_format__new' function into trace-event object as
'trace_event__tp_format'.
This function uses properly initialized global trace-event object,
ensuring proper plugins processing.

When perf_event_attr.mmap_data is set the kernel will generate
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are
created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing
threads, as we do for exec mmaps.
Right now just 'perf record' does it, but any other tool that uses
perf_event__synthesize_thread(s|map) can request it.

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.
We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.
This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

Instead do the lookups just when creating the tracepoints, initially for
the most common, raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}.
It works by having evsel->priv have a per tracepoint structure with
entries for the fields, for direct access, with the offset and a
function to get the value from the sample, doing the swap if needed.
Using a simple workload that does M millions write syscalls, we go from:
# perf stat -i -e cycles /tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100 > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for '/tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100':

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features:
1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we
can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events.
As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated
entries for pre and post exec time after a fork.
2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but
rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads
COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort
infrastructure.

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to
a precise COMM:timeslice couple.
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus
should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no
sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread
without time informations.

Out of 'perf trace', should be used by other tools that uses
tracepoints.

We need to differentiate SIGCHLD from SIGINT, the later should cause as
immediate as possible exit, while the former should wait to process the
events that may be perceived in the ring buffer after the SIGCHLD is
handled.

Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup
with:
perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string'
or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code.
In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it
will be preferred.
This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the
/proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not
populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence.
As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once
and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf
trace' of any other tool.
