In the hierarchical view, entries will be grouped and sorted on the
first key, and then on the second key, and so on. Add the
he->hroot_{in,out} fields to keep the lower level entries. Actually this
can share space, in a union, with callchain's 'sorted_root' since the
hroots are only used by non-leaf entries and callchain is only used by
leaf entries.
It also adds the 'parent_he' and 'depth' fields which can be used by browsers.
This patch only implements collapsing part which creates internal
entries for each sort key. These need to be sorted by output_sort stage
and to be displayed properly in the later patch(es).

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,
for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are
filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non
filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI.
But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,
--dsos, etc).
So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in
place.

When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it
sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso.
When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one
symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be
better to keep all names (including aliases).
So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via
symbol_conf.allow_aliases.

Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.
This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.
This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.
Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:
tcall.c:
volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;
__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
c = a / b;
}

f2();
f2();
}
main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
f1();
}

The default output is unchanged.
This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.
This adds the basic code to report:
- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.
The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.
- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR
Current limitations:
- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)
v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
-b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

We need to define bfd_demangle() to either a wrapper for
cplus_demangle() or to a stub when NO_DEMANGLE is defined.
That is at odds with using bfd.h for some other reason, as it defines
bfd_demangle() and then if code that wants to use symbol.h, where the
above stubbing/wrapping is done, and bfd.h for other reasons, we end up
with a build error where bfd_demangle() is found to be redefined.
Avoid that by moving the stubbing/wrapping to symbol-elf.c, that is the
only user of such function. If we ever get to a point where there are
more valid users, we can then introduce a header for that.

When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order
to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples.
During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it
ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name.
But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path
so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the
~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users.
This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so
that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name,
not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.

Some C++ symbols have very long name and they make column length longer.
Most of them are about parameters including templates and we can ignore
such info most of time IMHO.
This patch passes DMGL_NO_OPTS by default when calling bfd_demangle().

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

The --percentage option is for controlling overhead percentage
displayed. It can only receive either of "relative" or "absolute".
"relative" means it's relative to filtered entries only so that the
sum of shown entries will be always 100%. "absolute" means it retains
the original value before and after the filter is applied.

Allow to add events on the local functions without debuginfo.
(With the debuginfo, we can add events even on inlined functions)
Currently, probing on local functions requires debuginfo to
locate actual address. It is also possible without debuginfo since
we have symbol maps.
Without this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a t_show
Added new event:
probe:t_show (on t_show)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -x perf -a identity__map_ip
no symbols found in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf, maybe install a debug package?
Failed to load map.
Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
----
As the above results, perf probe just put one event
on the first found symbol for kprobe event. Moreover,
for uprobe event, perf probe failed to find local
functions.
With this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a t_show
Added new events:
probe:t_show (on t_show)
probe:t_show_1 (on t_show)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -x perf -a identity__map_ip
Added new events:
probe_perf:identity__map_ip (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_1 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_2 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_3 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:identity__map_ip_3 -aR sleep 1
----
Now we succeed to put events on every given local functions
for both kprobes and uprobes. :)
Note that this also introduces some symbol rbtree
iteration macros; symbols__for_each, dso__for_each_symbol,
and map__for_each_symbol. These are for walking through
the symbol list in a map.
Changes from v2:
- Fix add_exec_to_probe_trace_events() not to convert address
to tp->symbol any more.
- Fix to set kernel probes based on ref_reloc_sym.

kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However,
kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel
decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a
copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique
for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files
are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory:
~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh>
which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules.
Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the
kcore_copy() function for how that is determined.
The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already
one with the same modules at the same addresses.
Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is
addressed in another patch.
