Running the check-perf-trace scripts causes segfaults in both the Perl
and Python cases:
# perf script record check-perf-trace
# perf script -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/check-perf-trace.py
trace_begin
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The reason is that the 'pevent' field was added to
perf_scripting_context but it wasn't hooked up with an actual pevent in
either case, so when one of the 'common' fields is accessed (in
util/trace-event-parse.c:get_common_fields()), pevent->events tries to
dereference a NULL pointer.
This sets the pevent field when the scripting context is set up.

When make runs it tries to update the Makefile rules by reading all of
included Makefiles. During the perf build it checks PERF-VERSION-FILE
to get the current version number. But it triggers Makefile update so
that make runs again with the update Makefile and, in turn, users will
see duplicate CHK message on the second path.
Running make with -d option for debugging tells me this:

Actually PERF-VERSION-FILE is used only for perf.c to #define
PERF_VERSION macro. So make it like a C header file and include it
during compiling the perf.c file will remove the need of being
included into Makefile. Hench no need to update the Makefile and no
CHK lines anymore.

Current perf report gets segmentation fault when a branch stack specific
sort key is provided by --sort option to a perf.data file which contains
no branch infomation. It's because those sort keys reference branch
info of a hist entry unconditionally. Maybe we can change it checks
whether such branch info is valid or not. But if the branch stacks are
not recorded, it'd be nop. Thus it'd be better to make those keys are
unselectable.
This patch separates those keys to a different dimension array, so that
if user passes such a key to a file which has no branch stack will get
following message rather than a segfault.
Error: Invalid --sort key: `symbol_from'

The "pid" sort key prints "Command: Pid" output but it's misaligned.
It's because of the offset of 6 was added to the column length during
the calculation in order to reserve an space for Pid part but it isn't
honored when printed. The output before this patch was like this:
# Overhead Command: Pid Shared Object
# ........ ............. .................
#
99.70% noploop:17814 noploop
0.29% noploop:17814 [kernel.kallsyms]
0.01% noploop:17814 ld-2.15.so
Fix it by subtracting 6 for printing comm part.

The elf.h header file is used for NO_LIBELF build too so it should be
included anyway. Also remove duplicated include of the header file in
symbol-*.c. This patch fixes following build error on NO_LIBELF build:

The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call,
checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept
calls and do the checking.
But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are
linked on the python binding, breaking it:
# perf test -v 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled
---- end ----
Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and
providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only
linked in the python binding.
Now 'perf test' is happy again:
# perf test 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok

For matching and/or linking hist entries, they need to be sorted by
given sort keys. However current hists__match/link did this on the
output trees, so that the entries in the output tree need to be resort
before doing it.
This looks not so good since we have trees for collecting or collapsing
entries before passing them to an output tree and they're already sorted
by the given sort keys. Since we don't need to print anything at the
time of matching/linking, we can use these internal trees directly
instead of bothering with double resort on the output tree.
Its only user - at the time of this writing - perf diff can be easily
converted to use the internal tree and can save some lines too by
getting rid of unnecessary resorting codes.

When mmaping multiple events we need to find the right evsel that
matches an event in the ring buffer.
For that we need to set the PERF_FORMAT_ID bit in
perf_event_attr.read_format so that when we read the event fds we get
that id to then hash it and be able later to use perf_evlist__id2evsel
to find the right evsel.
We also need to set the PERF_SAMPLE_ID bit in
perf_event_attr.sample_type to ask for that id to be stashed in each
sample, so that we can demux it.
So add a perf_evsel__set_sample_id() method to do those two things in
one operation.
