After commit 5baecbcd9c ("perf symbols: we can now read separate
debug-info files based on a build ID") and when --symfs option is used
perf failed to pick up symbols for file with the same name between host
and sysroot specified by --symfs option. One can see message like this:
bin/bash with build id 26f0062cb6950d4d1ab0fd9c43eae8b10ca42062 not found, continuing without symbols
It happens because code added by 5baecbcd9c opens files directly by
dso->long_name without symbol_conf.symfs consideration, which as result
picks one from the host. It reads its build ID and later even code finds
another proper file in directory pointed by --symfs perf ignores it
because build id mismatches.
Fix is to use __symbol__join_symfs to adjust file name according to
--symfs setting. If no --symfs passed the operation would noop and picks
the same host file as before.
Also note in latter tree after 5baecbcd9c commit additional check for
'!dso->has_build_id' was added, so to observe error condition 'perf
record' should run with --no-buildid, so perf.data itself would not have
build id for target binary in buildid perf section and 'perf report'
will pass '!dso->has_build_id' condition. Or target binary should not
have build id, but the same binary on host has build id, again
'!dso->has_build_id' will pass in this case and incorrect build id could
be read if --symfs is used.

For debugging and testing it is useful to see the converted alias
string. Add support to perf stat/record and perf list to print the alias
conversion. The text string is saved in the alias structure. For perf
stat/record it is folded into the normal -v. For perf list -v was taken,
so we use --debug.

The code for handling pmu aliases without specifying the PMU hardcoded
only supported the cpu PMU.
This patch extends it to work for all PMUs. We always duplicate the
event for all PMUs that have an matching alias. This allows to
automatically expand an alias for all instances of a PMU (so for example
you can monitor all cache boxes with a single event)

Add support for registering json aliases per PMU. Any alias with an unit
matching the prefix is registered to the PMU. Uncore has multiple
instances of most units, so all these aliases get registered for each
individual PMU (this is important later to run the event on every
instance of the PMU).
To avoid printing the events multiple times in perf list filter out
duplicated events during printing.
v2: Rely on uncore_ prefix already in unit
v3: Document why calls were reordered

Handle the "Unit" field, which is needed to find the right PMU for an
event. We call it "pmu" and convert it to the perf pmu name with an
uncore prefix.
Handle the "ExtSel" field, which just extends the event mask with an
additional bit.
Handle the "Filter" field which adds parameters to the main event
to configure filtering.
Handle the "Unit" field which declares the unit the values should be
scaled too (similar to what the kernel exports)
Set up the "perpkg" field for uncore events so that perf knows they are
per package (similar to what the kernel exports)
Then output the fields into the pmu-events data structures which are
compiled into perf.
Filter out zero fields, except for the event itself.
v2: Fix compilation. Add uncore_ prefix at pre-processing time.
Move eventcode change to separate patch.
v3: Remove extra __maybe_unused
v4: dont duplicate aliases for cpu pmu events

perf_event is a utility controller whose primary role is identifying
cgroup membership to filter perf events; however, because it also
tracks some per-css state, it can't be replaced by pure cgroup
membership test. Mark the controller as implicitly enabled on the
default hierarchy so that perf events can always be filtered based on
cgroup v2 path as long as the controller is not mounted on a legacy
hierarchy.
"perf record" is updated accordingly so that it searches for both v1
and v2 hierarchies. A v1 hierarchy is used if perf_event is mounted
on it; otherwise, it uses the v2 hierarchy.
v2: Doc updated to reflect more flexible rebinding behavior.

Commit 21e6d84286 ("perf diff: Use perf_hpp__register_sort_field
interface") changed list_add() to perf_hpp__register_sort_field().
This resulted in a behavior change since the field was added to the tail
instead of the head. So the -o option is mostly ignored due to its
order in the list.
This patch fixes it by adding perf_hpp__prepend_sort_field().

The -o/--order option is to select column number to sort a diff result.
It does the job by adding a hpp field at the beginning of the sort list.
But it should not be added to the output field list as it has no
callbacks required by a output field.
During the setup_sorting(), the perf_hpp__setup_output_field() appends
the given sort keys to the output field if it's not there already.
Originally it was checked by fmt->list being non-empty. But commit
3f931f2c42 ("perf hists: Make hpp setup function generic") changed it
to check the ->equal callback.
Anyways, we don't need to add the pseudo hpp field to the output field
list since it won't be used for output. So just skip fields if they
have no ->color or ->entry callbacks.

While propagating the errors from perf_config(), which were being
completely ignored, everything stopped working for people without a
~/.perfconfig file, because the perf_config_set__init() was considering
an error not to have a .perfconfig file, duh, fix it by checking the
errno after the failed stat() call.
It should also not return an error when it says it is ignoring the file,
and also a empty file should not return an error either.

Using perf with call graph method dwarf fails to provide backtrace
support for stripped binary even though .gnu_debuglink points to *.dbg
flavor with properly populated debug symbols.
Problem is reproduced on ARM (v7, v8), kernels 3.14.y, 4.4.y and
4.10.rc3. Perf is configured with libunwind, and unwind dwarf support
[1]. Test code (stress_bt.c) can be found on [2].
Running (explicitly disable other unwinding methods):
$ gcc -g -o stress_bt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unwind-tables \
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables stress_bt.c
$ perf record -N --call-graph dwarf ./stress_bt
$ perf report
results in properly generated call graph. Stripping the binary and running
it results with missing call graph. Expected result is to have call graph:
$ gcc -g -o stress_bt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unwind-tables \
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables stress_bt.c
$ objcopy --only-keep-debug stress_bt stress_bt.dbg
$ objcopy --strip-debug stress_bt
$ objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=stress_bt.dbg stress_bt
$ perf record -N --call-graph dwarf ./stress_bt
$ perf report
Problem is that perf doesn't try to read symbols pointed by gnu
debuglink. Patch adds checking, and reading of the symbols from
debuglink and symsrc. Order of the check is to first check within dso,
then check whether symsrc is defined and try to read from it. Finally,
debuglink is checked. Default locations of debug files are discussed in
[3] and [4]. Comments on RFC are on [5].

The use_browser and perf_version_string variables are both declared in
perf.c but they are also referenced by other functions of libperf.a.
Therefore a user linking an own main() with libperf.a must declare those
two variables in their files even if the files never use the browser or
the version information.
This patch fixes this issue by moving use_browser and
perf_version_string out of perf.c to some other files.

Fix to probe on gcc generated functions on modules. Since
probing on a module is based on its symbol name, it should
be adjusted on actual symbols.
E.g. without this fix, perf probe shows probe definition
on non-exist symbol as below.
$ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -F in_range*
in_range.isra.12
$ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range+0
With this fix, perf probe correctly shows a probe on
gcc-generated symbol.
$ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range
p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.12+0
This also fixes same problem on online module as below.
$ perf probe -m i915 -D assert_plane
p:probe/assert_plane i915:assert_plane.constprop.134+0
