Because of die() at perf_parse_file() a config set was freed in
collect_config(), if failed. But it is natural to free a config set
after collect_config() is done when some problems happened.
So, in case of failure, lastly free a config set at perf_config_set__new()
instead of freeing the config set in collect_config().

build_id_cache__kallsyms_path() accepts a string buffer but also allocs
a buffer using asnprintf. Unfortunately, the its only user passes it a
stack-allocated buffer. Freeing it causes crashes like this:

To try to, over time, consistently use the IS_ERR() interface instead of
using two return values, i.e. the integer return value for an error and
the pointer address to return the bpf_map->priv pointer.
Also rename it to bpf__priv(), to leave the "get" term for reference
counting.
Noticed while working on using BPF for collecting non-integer syscall
argument payloads (struct sockaddr in calls such as connect(), for
instance), where we need to use BPF maps and thus generalise
bpf__setup_stdout() to connect bpf_output events with maps in a bpf
proggie.

If a config file has wrong key-value pairs, the perf process will be
forcibly terminated by die() at perf_parse_file() called by
perf_config() so terminal settings can be crushed because of unusual
termination.
For example:
If user config file has a wrong value 'red;default' instead of a normal
value like 'red, default' for a key 'colors.top',
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[colors]
medium = red;default # wrong value
and if running sub-command 'top',
# perf top
perf process is dead by force and terminal setting is broken
with a messge like below.
Fatal: bad config file line 2 in /root/.perfconfig
So fix it.
If perf_config() can return on failure without calling die()
at perf_parse_file(), this problem can be solved.
And if a config file has wrong values, show the error message
and then use default config values instead of wrong config values.

Implement the TopDown formulas in 'perf stat'. The topdown basic metrics
reported by the kernel are collected, and the formulas are computed and
output as normal metrics.
See the kernel commit exporting the events for details on the used
metrics.

# perf stat --topdown -a usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

Add basic plumbing for TopDown in perf stat
TopDown is intended to replace the frontend cycles idle/ backend cycles
idle metrics in standard perf stat output. These metrics are not
reliable in many workloads, due to out of order effects.
This implements a new --topdown mode in perf stat (similar to
--transaction) that measures the pipe line bottlenecks using
standardized formulas. The measurement can be all done with 5 counters
(one fixed counter)
The result are four metrics:
FrontendBound, BackendBound, BadSpeculation, Retiring
that describe the CPU pipeline behavior on a high level.
The full top down methology has many hierarchical metrics. This
implementation only supports level 1 which can be collected without
multiplexing. A full implementation of top down on top of perf is
available in pmu-tools toplev. (http://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools)
The current version works on Intel Core CPUs starting with Sandy Bridge,
and Atom CPUs starting with Silvermont. In principle the generic
metrics should be also implementable on other out of order CPUs.
TopDown level 1 uses a set of abstracted metrics which are generic to
out of order CPU cores (although some CPUs may not implement all of
them):
topdown-total-slots Available slots in the pipeline
topdown-slots-issued Slots issued into the pipeline
topdown-slots-retired Slots successfully retired
topdown-fetch-bubbles Pipeline gaps in the frontend
topdown-recovery-bubbles Pipeline gaps during recovery
from misspeculation
These metrics then allow to compute four useful metrics:
FrontendBound, BackendBound, Retiring, BadSpeculation.
Add a new --topdown options to enable events. When --topdown is
specified set up events for all topdown events supported by the kernel.
Add topdown-* as a special case to the event parser, as is needed for
all events containing -.
The actual code to compute the metrics is in follow-on patches.
v2: Use standard sysctl read function.
v3: Move x86 specific code to arch/
v4: Enable --metric-only implicitly for topdown.
v5: Add --single-thread option to not force per core mode
v6: Fix output order of topdown metrics
v7: Allow combining with -d
v8: Remove --single-thread again
v9: Rename functions, adding arch_ and topdown_.
v10: Expand man page and describe TopDown better
Paste intro into commit description.
Print error when malloc fails.

There's a display inconsistency when there are multiple tracepoint
events, some of which have the 'call-graph' config option set but the
first one hasn't, i.e. the whole logic for call graph processing is
enabled only if the first tracepoint event has call-graph set.
For instance, if we record signal_deliver with call-graph and
signal_generate without:
$ perf record -g -a -e signal:signal_deliver -e signal:signal_generate/call-graph=no/
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
$ perf script
kworker/u2:1 13 [000] 6563.875949: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1313 grp=1 res=0 ff61cc __send_signal+0x3ec ([kernel.kallsyms])
perf 1313 [000] 6563.877584: signal:signal_deliver: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 sa_handler=43115e sa_flags=14000000
7ffff314 get_signal+0x80007f0023a4 ([kernel.kallsyms])
7fffe358 do_signal+0x80007f002028 ([kernel.kallsyms])
7fffa5e8 exit_to_usermode_loop+0x80007f002053 ([kernel.kallsyms])
...
Then we exchange the order of these two events in commandline, and keep
signal_generate without call-graph.
$ perf record -g -a -e signal:signal_generate/call-graph=no/ -e signal:signal_deliver
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
$ perf script
kworker/u2:2 1314 [000] 6933.353060: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1321 grp=1 res=0
perf 1321 [000] 6933.353872: signal:signal_deliver: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 sa_handler=43115e sa_flags=14000000
This time, the callchain of the event signal_deliver disappeared. The
problem is caused by that perf only checks for the first evsel in evlist
and decides if callchain should be printed.
This patch traverses all evsels in evlist to see if any of them have
callchains, and shows the right result:
$ perf script
kworker/u2:2 1314 [000] 6933.353060: signal:signal_generate: sig=2 errno=0 code=128 comm=perf pid=1321 grp=1 res=0 ff61cc __send_signal+0x3ec ([kernel.kallsyms])

In cases such as syscall file descriptor ("fd") tracking, this is

This also stores vdso in buildid/vdso, kallsyms in buildid/kallsyms.
Note that the existing caches are not updated until user adds
or updates the cache. Anyway, if there is the old style build-id
cache it falls back to use it. (IOW, it is backward compatible)

evlist->mmap[i]->refcnt could be 0 if an evlist has no evsel or if all
evsels don't match the evlist during mmap. For example, when all evsels
are overwritable but the evlist itself is normal. To avoid crashing,
perf should check 'base' pointer before checking refcnt, and raise bug
only when base is not NULL.

There's no need to receive events from overwritable ring buffer.
Instead, perf should make them run in background until some external
event of interest takes place. This patch makes ignores normal events from
overwrite evlists.
Overwritable events must be mapped readonly and backward, so if evlist
and evsel doesn't match (evsel->overwrite is true but either evlist is
read/write or evlist is not backward, and vice versa), skip mapping it.

perf_event__synth_time_conv() should not crash in this case.
record__pick_pc() is used to check avaliability.

We observed some crazy apps on Android set their comm to unprintable
string. For example:
# cat /proc/10607/task/*/comm
tencent.qqmusic
...
Binder_2
日志输出线 <-- Chinese word 'log output thread'
WifiManager
...
'perf data convert' fails to convert perf.data with such string to CTF format.
For example:
# cat << EOF > ./badguy.c
#include <sys/prctl.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "\xe6\x97\xa5\xe5\xbf\x97\xe8\xbe\x93\xe5\x87\xba\xe7\xba\xbf");

}

record__mmap_read() writes data from ring buffer into perf.data. 'head'
is maintained by the kernel, points to the last written record.
'old' is maintained by perf, points to the record read in previous
round. record__mmap_read() saves data from 'old' to 'head' to
perf.data.
The names of these variables are not very intutive. In addition,
when dealing with backward writing ring buffer, the md->prev pointer
should point to 'head' instead of the last byte it got.
Add 'start' and 'end' pointer to make code clear and set md->prev to
'head' instead of the moved 'old' pointer. This patch doesn't change
behavior since:
buf = &data[old & md->mask];
size = head - old;
old += size; <--- Here, old == head

When record__mmap_read() requires data more than the size of ring
buffer, drop those data to avoid accessing invalid memory.
This can happen when reading from overwritable ring buffer, which
should be avoided. However, check this for robustness.

Noticed when the 'setsockopt' 'fd' arg wasn't being formatted via
the SCA_FD beautifier, so just remove the setting of "fd" args to
SCA_FD and do it when reading the syscall info, like we do for
args of type "pid_t", i.e. "fd" as the name should be enough as
the decision to use the SFA_FD beautifier. For odd cases we can
just do it explicitely.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- We should not use the current value of the kernel.perf_event_max_stack as the
default value for --max-stack in tools that can process perf.data files, they
will only match if that sysctl wasn't changed from its default value at the
time the perf.data file was recorded, fix it.
This fixes a bug where a 'perf record -a --call-graph dwarf ; perf report'
produces a glibc invalid free backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Provide a better warning when running 'perf trace' on a system where the
kernel.kptr_restrict is set to 1, similar to the one produced by 'perf record',
noticed on ubuntu 16.04 where this is the default kptr_restrict setting.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix ordering of instructions in the annotation code, noticed when annotating
ARM binaries, now that table is auto-ordered at first use, to avoid more such
problems (Chris Ryder)
- Set buildid dir under symfs when --symfs is provided (He Kuang)
- Fix the 'exit_group()' syscall output in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Only auto set call-graph to "dwarf" in 'perf trace' when syscalls are being
traced (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl,
as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines.
Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can
be overriden using --max-stack or equivalent.
