Running "perf top" on a machine with possibly invalid or non-matching
vmlinux at the various places results in no symbol resolving despite
/proc/kallsyms being present and valid.
Add a new option --ignore-vmlinux to explicitly indicate that we do not
want to use these kernels and just use what we have (kallsyms).

On OpenEmbedded the symbol files are located under a .debug folder on
the same folder as the binary file.
This patch adds support for such files.
Without this patch on perf top you can see:
no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2, maybe
install a debug package?

Fix to find the correct (as much as possible) line information for
listing probes. Without this fix, perf probe --list action will show
incorrect line information as below;
probe:getname_flags (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:-89@x86/include/asm/current.h)
probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:-2054@x86/include/asm/current.h)
The minus line number is obviously wrong, and current.h is not related
to the probe point. Deeper investigation discovered that there were 2
issues related to this bug, and minor typos too.
The 1st issue is the rack of considering about nested inlined functions,
which causes the wrong (relative) line number.
The 2nd issue is that the dwarf line info is not correct at those
points. It points 14th line of current.h.
Since it seems that the line info includes somewhat unreliable
information, this fixes perf to try to find correct line information
from both of debuginfo and line info as below.
1) Probe address is the entry of a function instance
In this case, the line is set as the function declared line.
2) Probe address is the entry of an expanded inline function block
In this case, the line is set as the function call-site line.
This means that the line number is relative from the entry line
of caller function (which can be an inlined function if nested)
3) Probe address is inside a function instance or an expanded
inline function block
In this case, perf probe queries the line number from lineinfo
and verify the function declared file is same as the file name
queried from lineinfo.
If the file name is different, it is a failure case. The probe
address is shown as symbol+offset.
4) Probe address is not in the any function instance
This is a failure case, the probe address is shown as
symbol+offset.
With this fix, perf probe -l shows correct probe lines as below;
probe:getname_flags (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:2@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:4@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
Changes at v2:
- Fix typos in the function comments. (Thanks to Namhyung Kim)
- Use die_find_top_inlinefunc instead of die_find_inlinefunc_next.

Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions
using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction
length.
This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions.
Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles
counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel
abstract handle both cases here.
Enable with a new --transaction / -T option.
This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each
other.
This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel

On ARM the debug info is not present in the .eh_frame sections but
in .debug_frame instead, in dwarf format.
Use libunwind to load and parse the debug info.
Dependencies:
. if present, libunwind >= 1.1 is needed to prevent a segfault when
parsing the dwarf info,
. libunwind needs to be configured with --enable-debug-frame. Note:
--enable-debug-frame is automatically selected on ARM.

This reverts commit de95ab5364.
Markus Trippelsdorf reported that this commit broke 'perf top':
> I just see a gray screen with no text at all. Sometimes the
> following error messages are printed:
>
> *** Error in `perf': invalid fastbin entry (free): 0x00000000029b18c0
> ***
> *** Error in `perf': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000000ee0b10 ***
While this code is fixable, the commit itself fails on several levels:
- it should have been a separate helper function
- why the heck does it do strchr() twice
- it casts a const char * over into char *
- sloppy style
- it's not even a regression fix!
So lets revert it and re-try the patch in v3.13.

Fix perf probe to probe on some symbols which have some optimzation
suffixes, e.g. ".part", ".isra", and ".constprop".
To fix this issue, instead of using the DIE name, perf probe uses the
symbol name found by dwfl_module_addrsym().
This also involves a perf probe --vars operation update which now shows
the symbol name instead of the DIE name.
Without this patch, putting a probe on an inlined function which was
compiled with a suffixed symbol will fail like this:
$ perf probe -v getname_flags
probe-definition(0): getname_flags
symbol:getname_flags file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
0 arguments
Looking at the vmlinux_path (6 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/3.11.0+/build/vmlinux for symbols
found inline addr: 0xffffffff8119bb70
Probe point found: getname_flags+0
found inline addr: 0xffffffff8119bcb6
Probe point found: getname+6
found inline addr: 0xffffffff811a06a6
Probe point found: user_path_at_empty+6

Added new events:
Writing event: p:probe/getname_flags getname_flags+0
Failed to write event: No such file or directory
Error: Failed to add events. (-1)
Because the debuginfo knows only the original (non suffix) symbol name,
it uses the original symbol for probe address but the kernel (kallsyms)
knows only suffixed symbol. Then, the kernel rejects that original
symbol.
This patch uses dwfl_module_addrsym() to get the correct (suffixed)
symbol from symtab when a probe point is found.

When parsing lines from objdump a line containing source code starting
with a numeric label is mistaken for a line of disassembly starting with
a memory address.
Current validation fails to recognise that the "memory address" is out
of range and calculates an invalid offset which later causes this
segfault:

This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type
exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record.
It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and
the inode number and generation.
This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It
can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for
instance.
The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

When there are no tracepoints in a perf.data file the struct pevent
that contains the list of tracepoints that will be used to lookup the
tracepoint id by name will not be populated, causing a NULL deref.
And we don't need to do all that dance to look at pevents for an entry
with a slighly different name to then lookup the tracepoint by its id on
the evlist, just use the perf_evlist__find_tracepoint_by_name() routine,
that will find the tracepoint, if present.

Currently when processing events in the __perf_session__process_events
function we update a progress bar based on the file_size. During the
same processing we update the progress bar from within
flush_sample_queue which is based on number of samples count.
Having 2 different based updates is causing the progress bar to jump
heavily back and forth giving not much usefull info.
Fixing this by keeping only __perf_session__process_events based
progress bar update. And turning on flush_sample_queue progress bar
update only for final flushing.
This reduces the number of time the progress bar update function is
called and it significantly reduces the loading time for TUI, where the
progress bar update takes quite a lot of time.
