When ordering events, we use preallocated buffers to store separate
events. Those buffers currently don't have their own struct, but since
they are basically an array of 'struct ordered_event' objects, we use
the first event to hold buffers data - list head, that holds all buffers
together:
struct ordered_events {
...
struct ordered_event *buffer;
...
};
struct ordered_event {
u64 timestamp;
u64 file_offset;
union perf_event *event;
struct list_head list;
};
This is quite convoluted and error prone as demonstrated by free-ing
issue discovered and fixed by Stephane in here [1].
This patch adds the 'struct ordered_events_buffer' object, that holds
the buffer data and frees it up properly.

Commit 1c5aae7710 ("perf machine: Create maps for x86 PTI entry
trampolines") revealed a problem with maps__find_symbol_by_name() that
resulted in probes not being found e.g.
$ sudo perf probe xsk_mmap
xsk_mmap is out of .text, skip it.
Probe point 'xsk_mmap' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
maps__find_symbol_by_name() can optionally return the map of the found
symbol. It can get the map wrong because, in fact, the symbol is found
on the map's dso, not allowing for the possibility that the dso has more
than one map. Fix by always checking the map contains the symbol.

Create auxiliary trace data log files when invoked with option
--itrace=d as in:
[root@s35lp76 perf] perf report -i perf.data.aux1 --stdio --itrace=d
perf report creates several data files in the current directory named
aux.smp.## where ## is a 2 digit hex number with leading zeros
representing the CPU number this trace data was recorded from. The file
contents is binary and contains the CPU-Measurement Sampling Data Blocks
(SDBs).
The directory to save the auxiliary trace buffer can be changed using
the perf config file and command. Specify section 'auxtrace' keyword
'dumpdir' and assign it a valid directory name. If the directory does
not exist or has the wrong file type, the current directory is used.
[root@p23lp27 perf]# perf config auxtrace.dumpdir=/tmp
[root@p23lp27 perf]# perf config --user -l auxtrace.dumpdir=/tmp
[root@p23lp27 perf]# perf report ...

Starting with binutils 2.28, aarch64 objdump adds comments to the
disassembly output to show the alternative names of a condition code
[1].
It is assumed that commas in objdump comments could occur in other
arches now or in the future, so this fix is arch-independent.
The fix could have been done with arm64 specific jump__parse and
jump__scnprintf functions, but the jump__scnprintf instruction would
have to have its comment character be a literal, since the scnprintf
functions cannot receive a struct arch easily.
This inconvenience also applies to the generic jump__scnprintf, which is
why we add a raw_comment pointer to struct ins_operands, so the __parse
function assigns it to be re-used by its corresponding __scnprintf
function.
Example differences in 'perf annotate --stdio2' output on an aarch64
perf.data file:
BEFORE: → b.cs ffff200008133d1c <unwind_frame+0x18c> // b.hs, dffff7ecc47b
AFTER : ↓ b.cs 18c
BEFORE: → b.cc ffff200008d8d9cc <get_alloc_profile+0x31c> // b.lo, b.ul, dffff727295b
AFTER : ↓ b.cc 31c
The branch target labels 18c and 31c also now appear in the output:
BEFORE: add x26, x29, #0x80
AFTER : 18c: add x26, x29, #0x80
BEFORE: add x21, x21, #0x8
AFTER : 31c: add x21, x21, #0x8
The Fixes: tag below is added so stable branches will get the update; it
doesn't necessarily mean that commit was broken at the time, rather it
didn't withstand the aarch64 objdump update.
Tested no difference in output for sample x86_64, power arch perf.data files.

Some implementations of libc do not support the 'm' width modifier as
part of the scanf string format specifier. This can cause the parsing to
fail. Since the parser never checks if the scanf parsing was
successesful, this can result in a crash.
Change the comm string to be allocated as a fixed size instead of
dynamically using 'm' scanf width modifier. This can be safely done
since comm size is limited to 16 bytes by TASK_COMM_LEN within the
kernel.
This change prevents perf from crashing when linked against bionic as
well as reduces the total number of heap allocations and frees invoked
while accomplishing the same task.

In the write to the output_fd in the error condition of
record_saved_cmdline(), we are writing 8 bytes from a memory location on
the stack that contains a primitive that is only 4 bytes in size.
Change the primitive to 8 bytes in size to match the size of the write
in order to avoid reading unknown memory from the stack.

The reason for this is in the python interface, that allows a script to
pass arbitrary cpu number, which is then used to access struct
perf_evlist::mmap array. That's obviously wrong and works only when if
all cpus are available and fails if some cpu is missing, like in the
example above.
This patch makes pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() search the evlist's maps
array for the proper map to access.
It's linear search at the moment. Based on the way how is the
read_on_cpu used, I don't think we need to be fast in here. But we
could add some hash in the middle to make it fast/er.
We don't allow python interface to set write_backward event attribute,
so it's safe to check only evlist's mmaps.

Add is_compressed callback to the compressions array, that returns 0 if
the file is compressed or != 0 if not.
The new callback is used to recognize the situation when we have a
'compressed' object, like:
/lib/modules/.../drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.ko.xz
but we need to read its debug data from debuginfo files, which might not
be compressed, like:
/root/.debug/.build-id/d6/...c4b301f/debug
So even for a 'compressed' object we read debug data from a plain
uncompressed object. To keep this transparent, we detect this in
decompress_kmodule() and return the file descriptor to the uncompressed
file.
