Adding the check for maximum allowed frequency rate defined in following
file:
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
When we cross the maximum value we fail and display detailed error
message with advise.
$ perf record -F 3000 ls
Maximum frequency rate (2000) reached.
Please use -F freq option with lower value or consider
tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
In case user does not specify the frequency and the default value cross
the maximum, we display warning and set the frequency value to the
current maximum.
$ perf record ls
Lowering default frequency rate to 2000.
Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
Same messages are used for 'perf top'.

Currently when using the raw format for fields, when looking at a
character array, to determine if it is a string or not, we make sure all
characters are "isprint()". If not, then we consider it a numeric array,
and print the hex numbers of the characters instead.
But it seems that '\n' fails the isprint() check! Add isspace() to the
check as well, such that if all characters pass isprint() or isspace()
it will assume the character array is a string.

The kernel has a few events with a format similar to this excerpt:
field:unsigned int len; offset:12; size:4; signed:0;
field:__data_loc unsigned char[] data_array; offset:16; size:4; signed:0;
print fmt: "%s", __print_hex(__get_dynamic_array(data_array), REC->len)
trace-cmd could already parse that arg correctly, but print_str_arg()
was unable to handle the first parameter being a dynamic array. (It
just printed a "field not found" warning).
Teach print_str_arg's PRINT_HEX case to handle the nested
PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY correctly. The output now matches the kernel's own
formatting for this case.

Attributes (struct perf_event_attr) are recorded separately in the
perf.data file. perf script uses them to set up output options.
However attributes can also be in the event stream, for example when the
input is a pipe (i.e. live mode). This patch makes perf script process
in-stream attributes in the same way as on-file attributes.
Here is an example:
Before this patch:

This new COMM infrastructure provides two features:
1) It keeps track of all comms lifecycle for a given thread. This way we
can associate a timeframe to any thread COMM, as long as
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples are joined to COMM and fork events.
As a result we should have more precise COMM sorted hists with seperated
entries for pre and post exec time after a fork.
2) It also makes sure that a given COMM string is not duplicated but
rather shared among the threads that refer to it. This way the threads
COMM can be compared against pointer values from the sort
infrastructure.

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to
a precise COMM:timeslice couple.
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus
should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no
sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread
without time informations.

Negative message lengths make no sense -- so don't do negative queue
lenghts or identifier counts. Prevent them from getting negative.
Also change the underlying data types to be unsigned to avoid hairy
surprises with sign extensions in cases where those variables get
evaluated in unsigned expressions with bigger data types, e.g size_t.
In case a user still wants to have "unlimited" sizes she could just use
INT_MAX instead.

scripts/kallsyms: filter symbols not in kernel address space
A vmalloc fault needs to sync up PGD/PTE entry from init_mm to current
task's "active_mm". ARC vmalloc fault handler however was using mm.
A vmalloc fault for non user task context (actually pre-userland, from
init thread's open for /dev/console) caused the handler to deref NULL mm
(for mm->pgd)
The reasons it worked so far is amazing:
1. By default (!SMP), vmalloc fault handler uses a cached value of PGD.
In SMP that MMU register is repurposed hence need for mm pointer deref.
2. In pre-3.12 SMP kernel, the problem triggering vmalloc didn't exist in
pre-userland code path - it was introduced with commit 20bafb3d23

This patch uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols which
are not in kernel address space because these symbols are
generally for generating code purpose and can't be run at
kernel mode, so we needn't keep them in /proc/kallsyms.
For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be
linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse
symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the
problem (introduced b9b32bf70f)
