It doesn't really make sense to record the build ids at the end of a
live mode session - live mode samples need that information during the
trace rather than at the end.
Leave event__synthesize_build_id() in place, however; we'll still be
using that to synthesize build ids in a more timely fashion in a
future patch.

We need to refactor code to be explicitely shared by the kernel and at
least the tools/ userspace programs, so, till we do that, copy the bare
minimum bitmap/bitops code needed by tools/perf.

commit e9e94e3bd862d31777335722e747e97d9821bc1d
"perf trace: Ignore "overwrite" field if present in
/events/header_page" makes perf trace launching spurious warnings
about unexpected tokens read:
Warning: Error: expected type 6 but read 4
This change tries to handle the overcommit field in the header_page
file whenever this field is present or not.
The problem is that if this field is not present, we try to find it
and give up in the middle of the line when we realize we are actually
dealing with another field, which is the "data" one. And this failure
abandons the file pointer in the middle of the "data" description
line:
field: u64 timestamp; offset:0; size:8; signed:0;
field: local_t commit; offset:8; size:8; signed:1;
field: char data; offset:16; size:4080; signed:1;
^^^
Here
What happens next is that we want to read this line to parse the data
field, but we fail because the pointer is not in the beginning of the
line.
We could probably fix that by rewinding the pointer. But in fact we
don't care much about these headers that only concern the ftrace
ring-buffer. We don't use them from perf.
Just skip this part of perf.data, but don't remove it from recording
to stay compatible with olders perf.data

The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered
because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed
per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events
we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are
involved.
There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that:
- use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem)
But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on
record time.
- use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock)
The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well
with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use
(unusable with perf lock for example).
Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory
use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the
previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the
previous one most of the time).
This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility
to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to
get ordered sample events, it needs to set its
struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it.
This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to
use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own
reordering.
Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to
be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really
require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly
need to trigger everytime.
It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we
lost a lot of events because we forgot the "-c 1" option.
Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user
override it.

Checking if a tracing field is an array with a dynamic length
requires to check the field type and seek the "__data_loc"
string that prepends the actual type, as can be found in a trace
event format file:
field:__data_loc char[] name; offset:16; size:4; signed:1;
But we actually use strcmp() to check if the field type fully
matches "__data_loc", which may fail as we trip over the rest of
the type.
To fix this, use strncmp to only check if it starts with
"__data_loc".

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.

This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream
to be sent and received over a pipe:
- adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code
- adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code
- adds a range of event types to be used for header or other
pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel
- checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use
to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually
reading them into event objects.
- unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its
users.
Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data
file format or processing - this code only comes into play if
perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

OPT_INCR()
Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.
This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).
I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

That is not used in perf where we have the LOST events.
Without this patch we get:
[root@doppio ~]# perf lock report | head -3
Warning: Error: expected 'data' but read 'overwrite'
So, to make the same perf command work with kernels with and without
this field, introduce variants for the parsing routines to not warn the
user in such case.

Using 'pahole --packable' I found some structs that could be reorganized
to eliminate alignment holes, in some cases getting them to be cacheline
multiples.

Currently util/string.c includes headers in this order: string.h, util.h
But this causes a build error because __USE_GNU definition
is needed for strndup() definition:
% make -j
touch .perf.dev.null
CC util/string.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
util/string.c: In function ‘argv_split’:
util/string.c:171: error: implicit declaration of function ‘strndup’
util/string.c:171: error: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strndup’
So this patch swaps the headers inclusion order.
util.h defines _GNU_SOURCE, and /usr/include/features.h defines
__USE_GNU as 1 if _GNU_SOURCE is defined.
