Commit 1c5aae7710 ("perf machine: Create maps for x86 PTI entry
trampolines") revealed a problem with maps__find_symbol_by_name() that
resulted in probes not being found e.g.
$ sudo perf probe xsk_mmap
xsk_mmap is out of .text, skip it.
Probe point 'xsk_mmap' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
maps__find_symbol_by_name() can optionally return the map of the found
symbol. It can get the map wrong because, in fact, the symbol is found
on the map's dso, not allowing for the possibility that the dso has more
than one map. Fix by always checking the map contains the symbol.

Starting with binutils 2.28, aarch64 objdump adds comments to the
disassembly output to show the alternative names of a condition code
[1].
It is assumed that commas in objdump comments could occur in other
arches now or in the future, so this fix is arch-independent.
The fix could have been done with arm64 specific jump__parse and
jump__scnprintf functions, but the jump__scnprintf instruction would
have to have its comment character be a literal, since the scnprintf
functions cannot receive a struct arch easily.
This inconvenience also applies to the generic jump__scnprintf, which is
why we add a raw_comment pointer to struct ins_operands, so the __parse
function assigns it to be re-used by its corresponding __scnprintf
function.
Example differences in 'perf annotate --stdio2' output on an aarch64
perf.data file:
BEFORE: → b.cs ffff200008133d1c <unwind_frame+0x18c> // b.hs, dffff7ecc47b
AFTER : ↓ b.cs 18c
BEFORE: → b.cc ffff200008d8d9cc <get_alloc_profile+0x31c> // b.lo, b.ul, dffff727295b
AFTER : ↓ b.cc 31c
The branch target labels 18c and 31c also now appear in the output:
BEFORE: add x26, x29, #0x80
AFTER : 18c: add x26, x29, #0x80
BEFORE: add x21, x21, #0x8
AFTER : 31c: add x21, x21, #0x8
The Fixes: tag below is added so stable branches will get the update; it
doesn't necessarily mean that commit was broken at the time, rather it
didn't withstand the aarch64 objdump update.
Tested no difference in output for sample x86_64, power arch perf.data files.

Some implementations of libc do not support the 'm' width modifier as
part of the scanf string format specifier. This can cause the parsing to
fail. Since the parser never checks if the scanf parsing was
successesful, this can result in a crash.
Change the comm string to be allocated as a fixed size instead of
dynamically using 'm' scanf width modifier. This can be safely done
since comm size is limited to 16 bytes by TASK_COMM_LEN within the
kernel.
This change prevents perf from crashing when linked against bionic as
well as reduces the total number of heap allocations and frees invoked
while accomplishing the same task.

In the write to the output_fd in the error condition of
record_saved_cmdline(), we are writing 8 bytes from a memory location on
the stack that contains a primitive that is only 4 bytes in size.
Change the primitive to 8 bytes in size to match the size of the write
in order to avoid reading unknown memory from the stack.

The reason for this is in the python interface, that allows a script to
pass arbitrary cpu number, which is then used to access struct
perf_evlist::mmap array. That's obviously wrong and works only when if
all cpus are available and fails if some cpu is missing, like in the
example above.
This patch makes pyrf_evlist__read_on_cpu() search the evlist's maps
array for the proper map to access.
It's linear search at the moment. Based on the way how is the
read_on_cpu used, I don't think we need to be fast in here. But we
could add some hash in the middle to make it fast/er.
We don't allow python interface to set write_backward event attribute,
so it's safe to check only evlist's mmaps.

Add is_compressed callback to the compressions array, that returns 0 if
the file is compressed or != 0 if not.
The new callback is used to recognize the situation when we have a
'compressed' object, like:
/lib/modules/.../drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.ko.xz
but we need to read its debug data from debuginfo files, which might not
be compressed, like:
/root/.debug/.build-id/d6/...c4b301f/debug
So even for a 'compressed' object we read debug data from a plain
uncompressed object. To keep this transparent, we detect this in
decompress_kmodule() and return the file descriptor to the uncompressed
file.

Store a decompression ID in 'struct kmod_path', so it can be later
stored in 'struct dso'.
Switch 'struct kmod_path's 'comp' from 'bool' to 'int' to return the
compressions array index. Add 0 index item into compressions array, so
that the comp usage stays as it was: 0 - no compression, != 0
compression index.
Update the kmod_path tests.

This is the second version of a patch that improves the error message of
the perf events parser when the PMU hardware does not support address
filters.
Previously, the perf returned the following error:
$ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write'
--filter option should follow a -e tracepoint or HW tracer option
This implies there is some syntax error present in the command line,
which is not true. Rather, notify the user that the CPU does not have
support for this feature.
For example, Intel chips based on the Broadwell micro-archticture have
the Intel PT PMU, but do not support address filtering.
Now, perf prints the following error message:
$ perf record -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter sys_write'
This CPU does not support address filtering

Threads share map_groups, all map events are merged into it.
Thus we could send mmaps only for thread group leader. Otherwise it
took ages to attach and record something from processes with many vmas
and threads.
Thread group leader could be already dead, but it seems perf cannot
handle this case anyway.
Testing dummy:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void *thread(void *arg) {
pause();
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int threads = 10000;
int vmas = 50000;
pthread_t th;
for (int i = 0; i < threads; i++)
pthread_create(&th, NULL, thread, NULL);
for (int i = 0; i < vmas; i++)
mmap(NULL, 4096, (i & 1) ? PROT_READ : PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE, -1, 0);
sleep(60);
return 0;
}
Comment by Jiri Olsa:
We actualy synthesize the group leader (if we found one) for the thread
even if it's not present in the thread_map, so the process maps are
always in data.

Add --percent-type option to set annotation percent type from following
choices:
global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits
Examples:
$ perf annotate --percent-type period-local --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: local period)
$ perf annotate --percent-type hits-local --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: local hits)
$ perf annotate --percent-type hits-global --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: global hits)
$ perf annotate --percent-type period-global --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: global period)
The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed in the scope
of the function (local) or the whole data (global).
The period/hits keywords set the base the percentage is computed on -
the samples period or the number of samples (hits).
