Currently, perf probe considers patterns including a '.' to be a file.
However, this causes problems on powerpc ABIv1 where all functions have
a leading '.':
$ perf probe -F | grep schedule_timeout_interruptible
.schedule_timeout_interruptible
$ perf probe .schedule_timeout_interruptible
Semantic error :File always requires line number or lazy pattern.
Error: Command Parse Error.
Fix this:
- by checking the probe pattern in more detail, and
- skipping leading dot if one exists when creating/deleting events.

The YYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL is defined in the Build file, but unlike
pmu-bison.c, gcc complained about it for parse-events-bison.c:
CC util/parse-events-bison.o
In file included from util/parse-events.y:16:
util/parse-events-bison.h:101:1: error: "YYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL" redefined
<command-line>: error: this is the location of the previous definition
make[3]: *** [util/parse-events-bison.o] Error 1
Comments from Jiri Olsa:
"Reason is the parse error handling that was added just recently: it
adds YYLTYPE type (which is not present in pmu-bison.h), so
YYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL gets redefined, which is ok in F20 that handle the
error via '-w' option, but it's not ok for RHEL6 where the '-w' does not
work for this kind of error."

Reference counting of the mmap buffer does not work correctly when there
is an AUX area mmap also.
In snapshot mode it is not easy to know if the AUX area mmap buffer
contains usefull information. Equally the evlist does not know if the
recording is in sanpshot mode anyway.
Consequently, for now just assume the AUX area mmap always has data,
which will just cause the mmap buffer to remain mmapped for the duration
of the recording.

Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since
powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as
described here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638
"The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function,
both global and local entry points."
...
"If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up
the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other
bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point,
and what its offset from the global entry point is. Note that GDB does
the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry."

Currently in perf IPC and other metrics cannot be directly shown
separately for both user and kernel in a single run. The problem was
that the metrics matching code did not check event qualifiers.
With this patch the following case works correctly.
% perf stat -e cycles:k,cycles:u,instructions:k,instructions:u true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
531,718 cycles:k
203,895 cycles:u
338,151 instructions:k # 0.64 insns per cycle
105,961 instructions:u # 0.52 insns per cycle
0.002989739 seconds time elapsed
Previously it would misreport the ratios because they were matching the
wrong value.
The patch is fairly big, but quite mechanic as it just adds context
indexes everywhere.

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:
struct parse_events_error {
int idx;
char *str;
char *help;
};
where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.
The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:
$ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
\___ unknown tracepoint
...
$ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
...
$ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
\___ parser error
...
The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.

Instruction tracing will typically have access to information about the
instruction being executed for a particular ip sample. Some of that
information will be available in the 'flags' member of struct
perf_sample.
With the addition of transactions events synthesis to Instruction
Tracing options, there is a need to be able easily to see the flags
because they show whether the ip is at the start, commit or abort of a
tranasaction.
Consequently add an option to display the flags.
The flags are "bcrosyiABEx" which stand for branch, call, return,
conditional, system, asynchronous, interrupt, transaction abort, trace
begin, trace end, and in transaction, respectively.
Example using Intel PT:
perf script -fip,time,event,sym,addr,flags

Decoding AUX area data may involve walking object code. Rather than
repetitively decoding the same instructions, a cache can be used to
cache the results.
This patch implements a fairly generic hashtable with a 32-bit key that
could be used for other purposes as well.

A AUX area decoder need not use the queues, however Intel BTS and Intel
PT will use them.
There is one queue for each of the mmap buffers that were used for
recording. Because those mmaps were associated with per-cpu or
per-thread contexts, the data is time-ordered with respect to those
contexts.

It is assumed that AUX area decoding will synthesize events for
consumption by other tools.
At this time, the main use of AUX area tracing will be to capture
instruction trace (aka processor trace) data.
The nature of instruction tracing suggests the initial inclusion of
options for "instructions" and "branches" events, but more could be
added as needed.

Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize
events transparently to the tools.
The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used
directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is
easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding
tool.
This will work as follows:
1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using
perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come).
2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due
to the auxtrace->process_event() hook.
3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the
event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event().
Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is
time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that
were recorded.

Add support for reading from the AUX area tracing mmap and synthesizing
AUX area tracing events.
This patch introduces an abstraction for recording AUX area data.
Recording is initialized by auxtrace_record__init() which is a weak
function to be implemented by the architecture to provide recording
callbacks.
Recording is mainly handled by auxtrace_mmap__read() and
perf_event__synthesize_auxtrace() but there are callbacks for
miscellaneous needs including validating and processing user options,
populating private data in auxtrace_info_event, and freeing the
structure when finished.
