Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:
struct parse_events_error {
int idx;
char *str;
char *help;
};
where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.
The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:
$ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
\___ unknown tracepoint
...
$ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
...
$ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
\___ parser error
...
The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

Provides united way of parsing kernel module path
into several components.
The new kmod_path__parse function and few defines:
int __kmod_path__parse(struct kmod_path *m, const char *path,
bool alloc_name, bool alloc_ext);
#define kmod_path__parse(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, false)
#define kmod_path__parse_name(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, true , false)
#define kmod_path__parse_ext(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, true)
parse kernel module @path and updates @m argument like:
@comp - true if @path contains supported compression suffix,
false otherwise
@kmod - true if @path contains '.ko' suffix in right position,
false otherwise
@name - if (@alloc_name && @kmod) is true, it contains strdup-ed base name
of the kernel module without suffixes, otherwise strudup-ed
base name of @path
@ext - if (@alloc_ext && @comp) is true, it contains strdup-ed string
the compression suffix
It returns 0 if there's no strdup error, -ENOMEM otherwise.

Do not rely on dso__data_read_offset() will always call dso__data_fd()
internally. With multi-thread support, accessing a fd will be protected
by a lock and it'll cause a huge contention. It can be avoided since we
can skip reading from file if there's a data in the dso cache.
If one needs to call the dso__data_read_offset(), [s]he also needs to
call dso__data_fd() (or set dso->binary_type at least) first like the
dwarf unwind code does.

The current dso cache permits to keep dso->data.fd is open under a half
of open file limit. But test__dso_data_cache() sets dso_cnt to limit /
2 + 1 so it'll reach the limit in the loop even though the loop count is
one less than the dso_cnt and it makes the final dso__data_fd() after
the loop meaningless.
I guess the intention was dsos[0]->data.fd is open before the last open
and gets closed after it. So add an assert before the last open.

Perf tool fails to unwind user stack if the event raises in a shared
object. This patch improves tests/dwarf-unwind.c to demonstrate the
problem by utilizing commonly used glibc function "bsearch". If perf is
not statically linked, the testcase will try to unwind a mixed call
trace.
By debugging libunwind I found that there is a bug in unwind-libunwind:
it always passes 0 as segbase to libunwind, cause libunwind unable to
locate debug_frame entry fir first level ip address (I add some more
debugging output into libunwind to make things clear):
>_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: start_ip = 10be98, end_ip = 10c2a4
>_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: found debug_frame table `/lib/libc-2.18.so': segbase=0x0, len=7, gp=0x0, table_data=0x449388
>_Uarm_dwarf_search_unwind_table: call lookup:ip = b6cd3bcc, segbase = 0, rel_ip = b6cd3bcc

This patch passes map->start as segbase to dwarf_find_debug_frame(), so
di will be initialized correctly.
In addition, dso and executable are different when setting segbase. This
patch first check whether the elf is executable, and pass segbase only
for shared object.

When perf report --children resorts output fields, it tries to put
caller above the callee. But this was only meaningful for a same thread
and doing this requires callchain enabled. So fix its check before
comparing the callchain depth.
This also changes the hist accumulation tests: In test 3, xmalloc in
bash thread should be above than other perf threads due to alphabetical
order of comm string. Also it's under page_fault in bash thread since
alphabetical order of dso name. The sys_perf_event_open in perf thread
is put on the last line since it's self overhead is 0.
In test 4, the sys_perf_event_open is put above other perf entries that
have same children overhead since its callchain depth is smaller.

Add test case in automated tests suite. It checks not only the two types
of pmu event stytle formats "pmu_event_name" and "cpu/pmu_event_name/",
but also the different formats mixtures which are more likely to trigger
parse issue.
The patch set including this one has been tested by the perf automated
test:
./perf test parse -v"
On haswell, ivybridge and Romley platform.
The patch set also has been tested on haswell by the following script.
Note: please make sure that your test system support TSX and
L1-dcache-loads events. Otherwise, you may want to change the events to
other pmu events.

We will use this in perf's evlist class so that it can, at
fdarray__filter() time, to unmap the associated ring buffer.
We may need to have further info associated with each fdarray entry, in
that case we'll make that int array a 'union fdarray_priv' one and put a
pointer there so that users can stash whatever they want there. For now,
an int is enough tho.
v2: Add clarification to the per array entry priv area, as well as make
it a union, which makes usage a bit longer, but if/when we make it
use more space by allowing per entry pointers existing users source
code will not have to be changed, just rebuilt.

The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class
can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists
need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it.
v2: Don't use {} like in:
libapi_dirs:
$(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/
in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10.
v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa)
v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to
be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the
fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa)
v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a
bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from
current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version
number of the running kernel. This can be a problem when reporting old
data recorded on a kernel version not running currently.
We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it
always. As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be
changed to use it for the search automatically.
Before:
$ perf report
...
# Samples: 4K of event 'cpu-clock'
# Event count (approx.): 1067250000
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ .......... ................. ..............................
71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] recover_probed_instruction
After:
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ .......... ................. ....................
71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
This requires to change signature of symbol__init() to receive struct
perf_session_env *.
