Adad support to convert and store time of day in CTF data conversion for
'perf data convert' subcommand.
The perf.data used for conversion needs to have clock data information -
must be recorded with -k/--clockid option).
New --tod option is added to 'perf data convert' subcommand to convert
data with timestamps converted to wall clock time.
Record data with clockid set:
# perf record -k CLOCK_MONOTONIC kill
kill: not enough arguments
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.033 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
Convert data with TOD timestamps:
# perf data convert --tod --to-ctf ./ctf
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './ctf' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.000 MB (8 samples) ]
Display data in perf script:
# perf script -F+tod --ns

It's available only for recording with clockid specified, because it's
the only case where we can get reference time to wallclock time. It's
can't do that with perf clock yet.
Error is display if you want to use --tod on data without clockid
specified:
# perf data convert --tod --to-ctf ./ctf
Can't provide --tod time, missing clock data. Please record with -k/--clockid option.

Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in

systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.

In places where the equivalent was already being done, i.e.:
free(a);
a = NULL;
And in placs where struct members are being freed so that if we have
some erroneous reference to its struct, then accesses to freed members
will result in segfaults, which we can detect faster than use after free
to areas that may still have something seemingly valid.

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.
This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.
Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

This strncat() is safe because the buffer was allocated with zalloc(),
however gcc doesn't know that. Since the string always has 4 non-null

This adds the mmap and mmap2 events to the CTF trace obtained from perf
data.
These events will allow CTF trace visualization tools like Trace Compass
to automatically resolve the symbols of the callchain to the
corresponding function or origin library.
To include those events, one needs to convert with the --all option.
Here follows an output of babeltrace:
$ sudo perf data convert --all --to-ctf myctftrace

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.
Committer notes:
Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.
Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:

After babeltrace commit 5cec03e402aa ("ir: copy variants and sequences
when setting a field path"), 'perf data convert' gets incorrect result
if there's bpf output data. For example:
# perf data convert --to-ctf ./out.ctf
# babeltrace ./out.ctf
[10:44:31.186045346] (+?.?????????) evt: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF810E7DD1, perf_tid = 23819, perf_pid = 23819, perf_id = 518, raw_len = 3, raw_data = [ [0] = 0xC028E32F, [1] = 0x815D0100, [2] = 0x1000000 ] }
[10:44:31.286101003] (+0.100055657) evt: { cpu_id = 0 }, { perf_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF8105B609, perf_tid = 23819, perf_pid = 23819, perf_id = 518, raw_len = 3, raw_data = [ [0] = 0x35D9F1EB, [1] = 0x15D81, [2] = 0x2 ] }
The expected result of the first sample should be:
raw_data = [ [0] = 0x2FE328C0, [1] = 0x15D81, [2] = 0x1 ] }
however, 'perf data convert' output big endian value to resuling CTF
file.
The reason is a internal change (or a bug?) of babeltrace.
Before this patch, at the first add_bpf_output_values(), byte order of
all integer type is uncertain (is 0, neither 1234 (le) nor 4321 (be)).
It would be fixed by:
perf_evlist__deliver_sample
-> process_sample_event
-> ctf_stream
...
->bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class
->bt_ctf_field_type_structure_set_byte_order
->bt_ctf_field_type_integer_set_byte_order
during creating the stream.
However, the babeltrace commit mentioned above duplicates types in
sequence to prevent potential conflict in following call stack and link
the newly allocated type into the 'raw_data' sequence:
perf_evlist__deliver_sample
-> process_sample_event
-> ctf_stream
...
-> bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class
-> bt_ctf_stream_class_resolve_types
...
-> bt_ctf_field_type_sequence_copy
->bt_ctf_field_type_integer_copy
This happens before byte order setting, so only the newly allocated
type is initialized, the byte order of original type perf choose to
create the first raw_data is still uncertain.
Byte order in CTF output is not related to byte order in perf.data.
Setting it to anything other than BT_CTF_BYTE_ORDER_NATIVE solves this
problem (only BT_CTF_BYTE_ORDER_NATIVE needs to be fixed). To reduce
behavior changing, set byte order according to compiling options.

A new patch in libbabeltrace [1] reveals a object leak problem in
'perf data' CTF support: perf code never releases the event_class
which is allocated in add_event() and stored in evsel's private field.
If libbabeltrace has the above patch applied, leaking event_class
prevents the writer from being destroyed and flushing metadata. For
example:
$ perf record ls
perf.data
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (12 samples) ]
$ perf data convert --to-ctf ./out.ctf
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.000 MB (12 samples) ]
$ cat ./out.ctf/metadata
$ ls -l ./out.ctf/metadata
-rw-r----- 1 w00229757 mm 0 Jan 27 10:49 ./out.ctf/metadata
The correct result should be:
...
$ cat ./out.ctf/metadata
/* CTF 1.8 */
trace {
[SNIP]
$ ls -l ./out.ctf/metadata
-rw-r----- 1 w00229757 mm 2446 Jan 27 10:52 ./out.ctf/metadata
The full story is:
Patch [1] of babeltrace redesigns its reference counting scheme. In that
patch:
* writer <- trace (bt_ctf_writer_create)
* trace <- stream_class (bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class)
* stream_class <- event_class (bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class)
('<-' means 'is a parent of')
Holding of event_class causes reference count of corresponding 'writer'
to increase through parent chain. Perf expects that 'writer' is released
(so metadata is flushed) through bt_ctf_writer_put() in
ctf_writer__cleanup(). However, since it never releases event_class, the
reference of 'writer' won't be dropped, so bt_ctf_writer_put() won't
lead to the release of writer.
Before this CTF patch, !(writer <- trace). Even with event_class leaking,
the writer ends up being released.

When converting int values, perf first extractes it to a ulonglong, then
feeds it to babeltrace as a signed value.
For negative 32 bit values (for example, return values of failed
syscalls), the extracted data should be something like 0xfffffffe (-2).
It becomes a large int64 value.
Babeltrace denies to insert it with bt_ctf_field_signed_integer_set_value()
because it is larger than 0x7fffffff, the largest positive value a
32 bit int can be.
This patch introduces adjust_signedness(), which fills high bits of
ulonglong with 1 if the value is negative.
