Right now ENTER doesn't always exits the newt tree widget, as it is used
for expanding/collapsing branches, but with the new tree widget being
developed we need to regain control to handle it, expanding/collapsing
branches.
In fact its really up to the ui_browser user to state what extra keys
should stop ui_browser__run, and it should handle just the ones needed
for basic browsing.

When I ran "perf kvm ... top", I encountered the following error output.
Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files)
Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
Looking into perf, I found perf opens too many directories at
initialization time, but forgets to close them. Here is the fix.

Gcc generates DW_AT_comp_dir and stores relative source path if building kernel
without O= option. In that case, perf probe --line sometimes doesn't work
without --source option, because it tries to access relative source path.
This adds DW_AT_comp_dir support to perf probe for finding an absolute source
path when no --source option.

Hists that have been filtered, because they don't have callchains
matching the parent filter, won't be printed. As such,
hist_entry__snprintf() returns 0 for them, but we don't control
this value and we always print the buffer, which might be
untouched and then only made of random stack garbage.
Not only does it paint the screen with barf, it also prints
the callchains for these hists, even though they have been filtered,
since the hist has been filtered as well.
We need to check the return value of hist_entry__snprintf() and
ignore the hist if it is 0, which means it didn't get any callchain
matching the parent filter. This fixes the barf and the undesired
callchains.

Hists have their hits increased by the event period. And this
period based counting is the foundation of all the stats in
perf report.
But callchains still use the raw number of hits, without taking
the period into account. So when we compute the percentage,
absolute based percentages are totally broken, and relative ones
too in the first parent level. Because we pass the number of events
muliplied by their period as the total number of hits to the
callchain filtering, while callchains expect this number to be
the number of raw hits.
perf report -g graph was simply not working, showing no graph unless
the min percent was zero. And even there the percentage of the
branches was always 0. And may be fractal filtering was broken on
the first branch level too.
flat also was broken, but it was hidden because of other breakages.
Anyway fix this by counting using periods on callchains.

Initialize the callchain radix tree root correctly.
When we walk through the parents, we must stop after the root, but
since it wasn't well initialized, its parent pointer was random.
Also the number of hits was random because uninitialized, hence it
was part of the callchain while the root doesn't contain anything.
This fixes segfaults and percentages followed by empty callchains
while running:

Support string type casting to event argument. If perf-probe finds an argument
casted as string, it ensures the target variable is "(unsigned/signed) char

Changes the Perf --version string such that it shows the kernel
version as suggested by Ingo as follows:
That way the perf that comes with v2.6.34 will be:
perf version v2.6.34
while interim versions will have the version of the interim
kernel - for example:
perf version v2.6.35-rc4-70-g39ef13a
This functionality was already in the perf version generator
file except that it was looking for a .git in the perf directory
instead of the kernel directory.

At exit, perf record will kill the process it was profiling by sending a
SIGTERM to child_pid (if it had been initialised), but in certain situations
child_pid may be 0 and perf would mistakenly kill more processes than intended.
child_pid is set to the return of fork() to either 0 or the pid of the child.
Ordinarily this would not present an issue as the child calls execvp to spawn
the process to be profiled and would therefore never run it's sig_atexit and
never attempt to kill pid 0.
However, if a nonexistant binary had been passed in to perf record the call to
execvp would fail and child_pid would be left set to 0. The child would then
exit and it's atexit handler, finding that child_pid was initialised to 0,
would call kill(0, SIGTERM), resulting in every process within it's process
group being killed.
In the case that perf was being run directly from the shell this typically
would not be an issue as the shell isolates the process. However, if perf was
being called from another program it could kill unexpected processes, which may
even include X.
This patch changes the logic of the test for whether child_pid was initialised
to only consider positive pids as valid, thereby never attempting to kill pid
0.

The loop counter math in trace_event was much more complicated than

The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations. The
source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags,
but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a
normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to
specify the root of the kernel source tree.

There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data
to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary
overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images).
A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file,
simply do:
[buildid]
dir = /dev/null
This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run
basis. It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still
generated in the perf.data file.

Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures
that use function descriptors such as ppc64.
The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a
data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address.
We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To
create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor
section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.

Perf record was scanning /proc/PID to create synthetic PERF_RECOR_MMAP

Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that
are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them.
This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the
TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop.
The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this
is the minimalistic patch.

Moving the tests to a separate file, feature-tests.mak and using a try-cc
function similar to the try-run in Kbuild.
This also makes the output more quiet as we can stop using the INTERMEDIATE
target to remove the .perf.dev.null file needed for some gcc versions where
/dev/null can't be used as the output file name.
As the tests get shorter by uninlining the source code used to test for
features, we can more properly use identation.
The feature tests itself can be made more clear and reused, like when trying to
see what is needed to have bfd_demangle.
We also get a bit closer to reusing scripts/Kbuild.include, reducing the
distance from the kernel build system.

[root@emilia perf]# rpm -e elfutils-libelf-devel elfutils-devel
[root@emilia perf]# make -j9 O=/tmp/perf
Makefile:509: No libdw.h found or old libdw.h found or elfutils is older than 0.138, disables dwarf support. Please install new elfutils-devel/libdw-dev
Makefile:542: *** No libelf.h/libelf found, please install libelf-dev/elfutils-libelf-devel. Stop.
[root@emilia perf]#
After installing everything back on:
[root@emilia perf]# yum install elfutils-devel binutils-devel newt-devel
<SNIP>
Installed:
binutils-devel.x86_64 0:2.20.51.0.2-5.11.el6

Add the capacility to track data mmap()s. This can be used together
with PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR for data profiling.

In a shared multi-core environment, users want to analyze why their
program was slow. In particular, if the code ran slower only on certain
CPUs due to interference from other programs or kernel threads, the user
should be able to notice that.
Sample usage:
perf record -f -a -- sleep 3
perf report --sort cpu,comm
Workload:
program is running on 16 CPUs
Experiencing interference from an antagonist only on 4 CPUs.
Samples: 106218177676 cycles

Simplifying the tools that were using both in sequence and allowing
upcoming simplifications, such as Arun's patch to sort by cpus.
