Committer notes:
Just like the 'verbose' variable this new 'debug_peo_args' needs to be
added to util/python.c, since we don't link the debug.o file in the
python binding, which ended up making 'perf test python' fail with:
# perf test -v python
18: 'import perf' in python :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 19237
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: debug_peo_args
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: FAILED!
#
After adding that new variable to util/python.c:
# perf test -v python
18: 'import perf' in python :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 22364
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
'import perf' in python: Ok

Move the PERF_RECORD_THROTTLE event definition into libperf's event.h
header include.
In order to keep libperf simple, we switch 'u64/u32/u16/u8' types used
events to their generic '__u*' versions.
Perf added 'u*' types mainly to ease up printing __u64 values as stated
in the linux/types.h comment:
/*
* We define u64 as uint64_t for every architecture
* so that we can print it with "%"PRIx64 without getting warnings.
*
* typedef __u64 u64;
* typedef __s64 s64;
*/
Add and use new PRI_lu64 and PRI_lx64 macros for that. Use extra '_' to
ease up the reading and differentiate them from standard PRI*64 macros.

Fixup the PRI_l[ux]64 macros on 32-bit arches, conditionally defining it
with that extra 'l' modifier only on arches where __u64 is long long,
leaving it aside on 32-bit arches.

Move the perf_event_attr struct fron 'struct evsel' to 'struct perf_evsel'.
Committer notes:
Fixed up these:
tools/perf/arch/arm/util/auxtrace.c
tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c
tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/arm-spe.c
tools/perf/arch/s390/util/auxtrace.c
tools/perf/util/cs-etm.c
Also
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
tests/sample-parsing.c: In function 'do_test':
tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: missing initializer
tests/sample-parsing.c:162: error: (near initialization for 'evsel.core.cpus')
struct evsel evsel = {
.needs_swap = false,
- .core.attr = {
- .sample_type = sample_type,
- .read_format = read_format,
+ .core = {
+ . attr = {
+ .sample_type = sample_type,
+ .read_format = read_format,
+ },
[perfbuilder@a70e4eeb5549 /]$ gcc --version |& head -1
gcc (GCC) 4.4.7
Also we don't need to include perf_event.h in
tools/perf/lib/include/perf/evsel.h, forward declaring 'struct
perf_event_attr' is enough. And this even fixes the build in some
systems where things are used somewhere down the include path from
perf_event.h without defining __always_inline.

Ondřej reported that when compiled with python3, the python extension
regresses in evlist.get_pollfd function behaviour.
The evlist.get_pollfd function creates file objects from evlist's fds
and returns them in a list. The python3 version also sets them to 'close
the original descriptor' when the object dies (is closed), by passing
True via the 'closefd' arg in the PyFile_FromFd call.
The python's closefd doc says:
If closefd is False, the underlying file descriptor will be kept open
when the file is closed.
That's why the following line in python3 closes all evlist fds:
evlist.get_pollfd()
the returned list is immediately destroyed and that takes down the
original events fds.
Passing closefd as False to PyFile_FromFd to fix this.

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space
conflicts.
This renames 'struct tep_event_format' to 'struct tep_event', which
describes more closely the purpose of the struct.

Jaroslav reported errors from valgrind over perf python script:

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.
