This doesn't return, so there is no raw_syscalls:sys_exit for it, add
the ending ')', without any return value, since it is void.

Hook into the libtraceevent plugin kernel symbol resolver to warn the

This means the user can't access /proc/kallsyms, for instance, because
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict is set to 1.
Instead leave the ref_reloc_sym as NULL and code using it will cope.
This allows 'perf trace' to work on such systems for !root, the only
issue would be when trying to resolve kernel symbols, which happens,
for instance, in some libtracevent plugins. A warning for that case
will be provided in the next patch in this series.
Noticed in Ubuntu 16.04, that comes with kptr_restrict=1.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Honour the kernel.perf_event_max_stack knob more precisely by not counting
PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER} when deciding when to stop adding entries to
the perf_sample->ip_callchain[] array (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix identation of 'stalled-backend-cycles' in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)
- Update runtime using 'cpu-clock' event in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)
- Use 'cpu-clock' for cpu targets in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)
- Avoid fractional digits for integer scales in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
- Store vdso buildid unconditionally, as it appears in callchains and
we're not checking those when creating the build-id table, so we
end up not being able to resolve VDSO symbols when doing analysis
on a different machine than the one where recording was done, possibly
of a different arch even (arm -> x86_64) (He Kuang)
Infrastructure changes:
- Generalize max_stack sysctl handler, will be used for configuring
multiple kernel knobs related to callchains (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
Cleanups:
- Introduce DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS and DSO__NAME_KCORE, to stop using
open coded strings (Masami Hiramatsu)

The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain->ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.
So match the kernel support and validate chain->nr taking into account
both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.

Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default. But
it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep
N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime). Changing
to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.

Currently only the task-clock event updates the runtime_nsec so it
cannot show the metric when using cpu-clock events. However cpu clock
works basically same as task-clock, so no need to not update the runtime
IMHO.

When unwinding callchains on a different machine, vdso info should be
available so the unwind process won't be interrupted if address falls
into vdso region. But in most cases, the addresses of sample events are
not in vdso range, the buildid of a zero hit vdso won't be stored into
perf.data.
This patch stores vdso buildid regardless of whether the vdso is hit or
not.

Use lsdir() to search in kcore cache directory. This also avoids
checking hidden dot directory entries, because kcore cache directories
must always have the name from timestamps when taking the kcore
snapshots, and it never start with dot.

When an IP with an unresolved symbol occurs in the callchain more than
once (ie. recursion), then duplicate symbols can be created because
the callchain nodes are never updated after they are first created.
To fix this issue we call dso__find_symbol whenever we encounter a NULL
symbol, in case we already added a symbol at that IP since we started
traversing the callchain.
This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported when duplicate
IPs are present in the callchain.

Remove the call to map_ip() to adjust al.addr, because it has already
been called when assembling the callchain, in:
thread__resolve_callchain_sample(perf_sample)
add_callchain_ip(ip = perf_sample->callchain->ips[j])
thread__find_addr_location(addr = ip)
thread__find_addr_map(addr) {
al->addr = addr
if (al->map)
al->addr = al->map->map_ip(al->map, al->addr);
}
Calling it a second time can result in incorrect addresses being used.
This can have effects such as duplicate symbols being created and
exported.

Use the dso__insert_symbol function instead of symbols__insert() in
order to properly update the dso symbol cache.
If the cache is not updated, then duplicate symbols can be
unintentionally created, inserted, and exported.
This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported due to
dso__find_symbol() using a stale symbol cache.

The current method for inserting symbols is to use the symbols__insert()
function. However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol
cache. This causes problems in the following scenario:
1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol
2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function
3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't
updated. This is undesired behavior.
The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function,
dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol
cache if necessary.
If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(),
then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

The commit b97511c5bc94 ("perf tools: Add overhead/overhead_children
keys defaults via string") moved initialization of column headers but it
missed to check the sort__mode. As 'perf diff' doesn't call
perf_hpp__init(), the setup_overhead() also should not be called.

This change introduces a fix to symbols__find, so that it is able to
find symbols of length zero (where start == end).
The current code has the following problem:
- The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols
of length zero.
- The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at
locations where no symbol currently exists.
The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar
to the example below.
1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be
resolved.
2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address
and inserts it into the dso.
3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable
to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved.
4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate
symbol, even though it already did this in step 2.
This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information
is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be
allocated.
The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an
exported database before/after the fix (generated with
scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py)
Ex.
BEFORE THE CHANGE:
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
count
--------
900213
(1 row)
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown';
count
--------
897355
(1 row)
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name!='unknown';
count
-------
2858
(1 row)
AFTER THE CHANGE:
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
count
-------
25217
(1 row)
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name='unknown';
count
-------
22359

example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where name!='unknown';

This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.
Test result:
# ~/perf test 'ring buffer'
45: Test backward reading from ring buffer : Ok
The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple
times. Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one
PERF_RECORD_COMM.
The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can
afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of
events.
The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it
overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

perf_evlist__mmap_read_backward() is introduced for reading backward
ring buffer. Since direction for reading such ring buffer is different
from the direction kernel writing to it, and since user need to fetch
most recent record from it, a perf_evlist__mmap_read_catchup() is
introduced to move the reading pointer to the end of the buffer.

Scale values by unit before passing them to the metrics printing

slots correctly by pipeline width / SMTness.
For existing metrics it shouldn't make any difference, as those
