The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

This script helps to create bonding network devices based on synthetic NIC
(the virtual network adapter usually provided by Hyper-V) and the matching
VF NIC (SRIOV virtual function). So the synthetic NIC and VF NIC can
function as one network device, and fail over to the synthetic NIC if VF is
down.
Mayjor distros (RHEL, Ubuntu, SLES) supported by Hyper-V are supported by
this script.

In --stdio we turn off color output when the output is not a tty,
which is not always desirable, for instance, in:
perf annotate | more
the 'more' tool is perfectly capable of processing the escape sequences
for colored output.
Allow using the existing logic for .perfconfig's "color.ui" to be used
from the command line by providing a stdio__config_color() helper, that
will be used by annotate and report in follow up patches.

Mathieu Desnoyers reported that the STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD macro
wasn't working with the lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode() function in
the lttng-modules code.
Usually the relocation created by STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD creates a
reference to a section symbol like this:
Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 000000000000000000 +3136 .text
But in this case it created a reference to a function symbol:
Offset Type Value Addend Name
000000000000000000 X86_64_64 0x00000000000003a0 +0 lttng_filter_interpret_bytecode
To be honest I have no idea what causes gcc to decide to do one over the
other. But both are valid ELF, so add support for the function symbol.

Currently it doesn't appear the resulting binary actually uses any
Altivec or VSX instructions the solution is to explicitly tell GCC to
use vector instructions and use vector types in the code.
Part of this this issue can be GCC version specific:
GCC 4.9.x is happy to use Altivec and VSX instructions if altivec.h is
includedi (and possibly if vector types are used), this also means that
4.9.x will use VSX instructions even if only -maltivec is passed. It is
also possible that Altivec instructions will be used even without
-maltivec or -mabi=altivec.
GCC 5.2.x complains about the lack of -maltivec parameter if altivec.h
is included and will not use VSX unless -mvsx is present on commandline.
GCC 5.3.0 has a regression that means __attribute__((__target__("no-vsx"))
fails to build. A fix is targeted for 5.4.
Furthermore LTO (Link Time Optimisation) doesn't play well with
__attribute__((__target__("no-vsx")), LTO can cause GCC to forget about
the attribute and compile with VSX instructions regardless. Be wary when
enabling -flfo for this test.

Excerpt from man 2 perf_event_open:
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
The perf_event_paranoid file can be set to restrict access to the
performance counters.
2 allow only user-space measurements.
1 allow both kernel and user measurements (default).
0 allow access to CPU-specific data but not raw tracepoint samples.
-1 no restrictions.
require_paranoia_below() should return 0 if perf_event_paranoid is below
a specified level, the value from perf_event_paranoid is read into an
unsigned long so the incorrect value is returned when
perf_event_paranoid is set to -1.
Without this patch applied there is the same number of selftests/powerpc
which skip when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 1 or -1
but no skips when set to zero.
With this patch applied there are no skipped selftests/powerpc test when

Noticed by the build system, that emitted this warning:
Warning: x86_64's syscall_64.tbl differs from kernel
This was due to the wiring up of the recently added preadv2 & pwritev2
syscalls to the compat code, which hadn't been done by the patch
introducing those syscalls: 4babf2c5ef ("x86: wire up preadv2 and
pwritev2").
The patch doing the compat wiring was:
482dd2ef12 ("x86/syscalls: Wire up compat readv2/writev2 syscalls")
This just silences the perf build warning, as compat syscalls still
can't be supported in 'perf trace´ due to limitations in the
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints it relies on.

perf buildid-cache --add <binary> scans given binary and add
the SDT events to probe cache. "sdt_" prefix is appended for
all SDT providers to avoid event-name clash with other pre-defined
events. It is possible to use the cached SDT events as other cached
events, via perf probe --add "sdt_<provider>:<event>=<event>".
e.g.
----
# perf buildid-cache --add /lib/libc-2.17.so
# perf probe --cache --list | head -n 5
/usr/lib/libc-2.17.so (a6fb821bdf53660eb2c29f778757aef294d3d392):
sdt_libc:setjmp=setjmp
sdt_libc:longjmp=longjmp
sdt_libc:longjmp_target=longjmp_target
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
# perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so \
-a sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
Added new event:
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on memory_heap_new
in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libc:memory_heap_new -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on new_heap+183 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
----
Note that SDT event entries in probe-cache file is somewhat different
from normal cached events. Normal one starts with "#", but SDTs are
starting with "%".

This patch serves the initial support to identify and list SDT events in
binaries. When programs containing SDT markers are compiled, gcc with
the help of assembler directives identifies them and places them in the
section ".note.stapsdt".
To find these markers from the binaries, one needs to traverse through
this section and parse the relevant details like the name, type and
location of the marker. Also, the original location could be skewed due
to the effect of prelinking. If that is the case, the locations need to
be adjusted.
The functions in this patch open a given ELF, find out the SDT section,
parse the relevant details, adjust the location (if necessary) and
populate them in a list.
A typical note entry in ".note.stapsdt" section is as follows :
|--nhdr.n_namesz--|
------------------------------------
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
----- |----------------------------------|
| | <location> <base_address> |
| | <semaphore> |
nhdr.n_descsize | "provider_name" "note_name" |
| | <args> |
----- |----------------------------------|
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
|...
The above shows an excerpt from the section ".note.stapsdt". 'nhdr' is
a structure which has the note name size (n_namesz), note description
size (n_desc_sz) and note type (n_type).
So, in order to parse the note note info, we need nhdr to tell us where
to start from. As can be seen from <sys/sdt.h>, the name of the SDT
notes given is "stapsdt". But this is not the identifier of the note.
After that, we go to description of the note to find out its location, the
address of the ".stapsdt.base" section and the semaphore address.
Then, we find the provider name and the SDT marker name and then follow the
arguments.

'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given. Note that
the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events.
If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as
expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have
actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard
is acceptable). For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read
$params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.
