Adding perf_evsel::ignore_missing_cpu_thread bool.
When set true, it allows perf to ignore error of missing pid of perf
event syscall.
We remove missing thread id from the thread_map, so the rest of the
processing like ioctl and mmap won't get disturbed with -1 fd.
The reason for supporting this is to ease up monitoring group of pids,
that 'disappear' before perf opens their event. This currently leads
perf to report error and exit and makes perf record's -u option unusable
under certain setup.
With this change we will allow this race and ignore such failure with
following warning:
WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 8605

After this patch, perf utilizes builtin clang support to build BPF
script, no longer depend on external clang, but fallbacking to it
if for some reason the builtin compiling framework fails.
Test:
$ type clang
-bash: type: clang: not found
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
$ echo '#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 0x040700' > ./test.c
$ cat ./tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c >> ./test.c
$ ./perf record -v --dry-run -e ./test.c 2>&1 | grep builtin
bpf: successfull builtin compilation
$
Can't pass cflags so unable to include kernel headers now. Will be fixed
by following commits.
Committer notes:
Make sure '-v' comes before the '-e ./test.c' in the command line otherwise the
'verbose' variable will not be set when the bpf event is parsed and thus the
pr_debug indicating a 'successfull builtin compilation' will not be output, as
the debug level (1) will be less than what 'verbose' has at that point (0).

Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for
manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this
patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end.
To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into
'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report
an error to help debugging.
A test case for perf hook is introduced.
Test result:
$ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook

Before this patch perf panics if kptr_restrict is set to 1 and perf is
owned by root with suid set:
$ whoami
wangnan
$ ls -l ./perf
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 19781908 Sep 21 19:29 /home/wangnan/perf
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
1
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
-1
$ ./perf record -a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
The reason is that perf assumes it is allowed to read kptr from
/proc/kallsyms when euid is root, but in fact the kernel doesn't allow
reading kptr when euid and uid do not match with each other:
$ cp /bin/cat .
$ sudo chown root:root ./cat
$ sudo chmod u+s ./cat
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
0000000000000000 T _do_fork <--- kptr is hidden even euid is root
$ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
ffffffff81080230 T _do_fork
See lib/vsprintf.c for kernel side code.
This patch fixes this problem by checking both uid and euid.

On ubuntu the internal kernel version code is different from what can
be retrived from uname:
$ uname -r
4.4.0-47-generic
$ cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 263192
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
$ cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "4.4.0-47-generic"
#define UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI 47
$ cat /proc/version_signature
Ubuntu 4.4.0-47.68-generic 4.4.24
The macro LINUX_VERSION_CODE is set to 4.4.24 (263192 == 0x40418), but
`uname -r` reports 4.4.0.
This mismatch causes LINUX_VERSION_CODE macro passed to BPF script become
an incorrect value, results in magic failure in BPF loading:
$ sudo ./buildperf/perf record -e ./tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c ls
event syntax error: './tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c'
\___ Failed to load program for unknown reason
According to Ubuntu document (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ), the
correct kernel version can be retrived through /proc/version_signature, which
is ubuntu specific.
This patch checks the existance of /proc/version_signature, and returns
version number through parsing this file instead of uname. Version string
is untouched (value returns from uname) because `uname -r` is required
to be consistence with path of kbuild directory in /lib/module.

Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing,
this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to
indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag.
Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what
the branch flag it has.
The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It
would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next
steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations.
For example:
Before remove_loops(),
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800
After remove_loops()
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800
The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations
(from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1).
iterations = removed number + 1;
average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples
This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple
buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good
enough.

To write config items to a particular config file, we should know where
is each config section and item from.
Current setting functionality of perf-config use autogenerating way by
overwriting collected config items to a config file.
For example, when collecting config items from user and system config
files (i.e. ~/.perfconfig and $(sysconf)/perfconfig), perf_config_set
can contain both user and system config items. So we should know where
each value is from to avoid merging user and system config items on user
config file.

Markus reported that there's a weird behavior on perf top --hierarchy
regarding the column length.
Looking at the code, I found a dubious code which affects the symptoms.
When --hierarchy option is used, the last column length might be
inaccurate since it skips to update the length on leaf entries.
I cannot remember why it did and looks like a leftover from previous
version during the development.
Anyway, updating the column length often is not harmful. So let's move
the code out.
