The event parsing code in perf was originally copied from trace-cmd
but never was kept up-to-date with the changes that was done there.
The trace-cmd libtraceevent.a code is much more mature than what is
currently in perf.
This updates the code to use wrappers to handle the calls to the
new event parsing code. The new code requires a handle to be pass
around, which removes the global event variables and allows
more than one event structure to be read from different files
(and different machines).
But perf still has the old global events and the code throughout
perf does not yet have a nice way to pass around a handle.
A global 'pevent' has been made for perf and the old calls have
been created as wrappers to the new event parsing code that uses
the global pevent.
With this change, perf can later incorporate the pevent handle into
the perf structures and allow more than one file to be read and
compared, that contains different events.

Fixing the way the tracing information is stored within record command.
The current implementation is causing issues for pipe output.
Following commands fail currently:
perf script syscall-counts ls
perf record -e syscalls:sys_exit_read ls | ./perf report -i -
The tracing information is part of the perf data file. It contains
several files from within the tracing debugfs and procs directories.
Beside some static header files, for each tracing event the format
file is added. The /proc/kallsyms file is also added.
The tracing data are stored with preceeding size. This is causing some
dificulties for pipe output, since there's no way to tell debugfs/proc
file size before reading it. So, for pipe output, all the debugfs files
were read twice. Once to get the overall size and once to store the
content itself. This can cause problem in case any of these file
changed, within the storage time.
To fix this behaviour and ensure the integrity of the tracing data, we:
- read debugfs/proc file into the temp file
- get temp file size and dump it to the pipe
- dump the temp file contents to the pipe

While attempting to create a timechart of boot up I found perf didn't
tolerate modules being loaded/unloaded. This patch fixes this by
reading the file once and then writing the size read at the correct
point in the file. It also simplifies the code somewhat.

Fix a couple of inefficiencies and redundancies related to
have_tracepoints() and its use when checking whether to write
TRACE_INFO.
First, there's no need to use get_tracepoints_path() in
have_tracepoints() - we really just want the part that checks whether
any attributes correspondo to tracepoints.
Second, we really don't care about raw_samples per se - tracepoints
are always raw_samples. In any case, the have_tracepoints() check
should be sufficient to decide whether or not to write TRACE_INFO.

The current perf code implicitly assumes SAMPLE_RAW means tracepoints
are being used, but doesn't check for that. It happily records the
TRACE_INFO even if SAMPLE_RAW is used without tracepoints, but when the
perf data is read it won't go any further when it finds TRACE_INFO but
no tracepoints, and displays misleading errors.
This adds a check for both in perf-record, and won't record TRACE_INFO
unless both are true. This at least allows perf report -D to dump raw
events, and avoids triggering a misleading error condition in perf
trace. It doesn't actually enable the non-tracepoint raw events to be
displayed in perf trace, since perf trace currently only deals with
tracepoint events.

Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with
a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes
the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a
pipe.
The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
to break it down into component events. The tracing_data event
itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
processing loop in a previous patch.

A few more optimizations for perf when dealing with directories.
Some of them significantly cut down the work which has to be
done. d_type should always be set; otherwise fix the kernel
code. And there are functions available to parse fstab-like

It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -R -a -f sleep 3s ;
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.

This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.
This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.
A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.
That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.
But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Make it clear to GCC that we intend with those pointers, by passing
them through via an explicit (void *) cast.
We might want to add -fno-strict-aliasing as well, like the kernel
itself does.

Add util/trace-event-info.c which handles ftrace file IO from
debugfs and provides general helpers to fetch/save ftrace
events informations.
This file is a rename of the trace-cmd.c file from the
trace-cmd tools, written by Steven Rostedt and Josh Triplett,
originated from the git tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/trace-cmd.git
This is a perf tools integration.
For now, ftrace events information is saved in a separate file
than the standard perf.data
