For now, we disable the extended MMAP record support (MMAP2).
We have identified cases where it would not report the correct mapping
information, clone(VM_CLONE) but with separate pids. We will revisit
the support once we find a solution for this case.
The patch changes the kernel to return EINVAL if attr->mmap2 is set. The
patch also modifies the perf tool to use regular PERF_RECORD_MMAP for
synthetic events and it also prevents the tool from requesting
attr->mmap2 mode because the kernel would reject it.
The support will be revisited once the kenrel interface is updated.
In V2, we reduce the patch to the strict minimum.
In V3, we avoid calling perf_event_open() with mmap2 set because we know
it will fail and require fallback retry.

Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup
with:
perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string'
or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code.
In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it
will be preferred.
This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the
/proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not
populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence.
As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once
and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf
trace' of any other tool.

kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However,
kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel
decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a
copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique
for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files
are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory:
~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh>
which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules.
Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the
kcore_copy() function for how that is determined.
The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already
one with the same modules at the same addresses.
Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is
addressed in another patch.

Arnaldo reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not work anymore.
The reason is that 'Makefile' only passes it through to
'Makefile.perf' via the environment, but 'Makefile.perf'
checks that it's a command line option:
ifeq ("$(origin DEBUG)", "command line")
PERF_DEBUG = $(DEBUG)
endif
So pass it through properly, and also clean up DEBUG parameter
handling while at it and fix a couple of annoyances:
- DEBUG=0 used to be interpreted as 'debugging on'. Turn it
into 'debugging off' instead.
- Same was the case for 'DEBUG=' - turn that into debug-off
as well.
- Pass in just a clean, sanitized 'DEBUG' value and get rid of
the intermediate, unnecessary PERF_DEBUG variable.

Currently, execution of 'perf trace' reports the following cryptic
message to the user:
$ perf trace
Couldn't read the raw_syscalls tracepoints information!
Typically this happens because the user does not have permissions to
read the debugfs filesystem. Also handle the case when the kernel was
not compiled with debugfs support or when it isn't mounted.
Now, the tool prints detailed error messages:
$ perf trace
Error: Unable to find debugfs
Hint: Was your kernel was compiled with debugfs support?
Hint: Is the debugfs filesystem mounted?
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug'
$ perf trace
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/events/raw_syscalls

The various build lines from libtraceevent and perf mix up during a
parallel build and produce unaligned output like:
CC builtin-buildid-list.o

To solve this, harmonize all the build message alignments to be similar
to the kernel's kbuild output: prefixed by two spaces and 11-char wide.
After the patch the output looks pretty tidy, even if output lines get
mixed up:

Task comm's are getting lost when processing events from a file. The
problem is that the trace struct used by the live processing has its
host machine and the perf-session used for file based processing has its
host machine. Fix by having both references point to the same machine.
