981c125269 perf symbols: Check '/tmp/perf-' symbol file ownership
The external symbol files are generated by JIT compilers, for example, but we
need to make sure they're ours before injecting them to 'perf report'.

4c09bafae3 perf sched: Do not delete session object prematurely
The session object is released prematurely when processing events for
latency command. The session's thread objects are used within the
output_lat_thread function.

Runnning following commands:

 # perf sched record
 # perf sched latency

the latter displays incorrect data and might cause access violation.

9941c96ad8 perf tools: Add support to install perf python extension
Adding install-python_ext target to install python extension related
files.  Installation directory is governed by python distutils package
and follows the DESTDIR variable settings.

Also moving python extension build output into '$(O)python_ext_build'
directory and making it configurable via PYTHON_EXTBUILD variable.

Keeping the '$(O)python/perf.so' file, so it could be used for testing
as of until now.

aba8d05607 perf tools: do not look at ./config for configuration
In addition to /etc/perfconfig and $HOME/.perfconfig, perf looks for
configuration in the file ./config, imitating git which looks at
$GIT_DIR/config.  If ./config is not a perf configuration file, it
fails, or worse, treats it as a configuration file and changes behavior
in some unexpected way.

"config" is not an unusual name for a file to be lying around and perf
does not have a private directory dedicated for its own use, so let's
just stop looking for configuration in the cwd.  Callers needing
context-sensitive configuration can use the PERF_CONFIG environment
variable.

00894ce9b8 perf report: Use ui__warning in some more places
So that we get a proper warning in the TUI in cases like:

 $ perf report --stdio -g fractal,0.5,caller --sort pid
 Selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g?
 $

The --stdio case is ok because it uses fprintf, ui__warning is needed to
figure out if --stdio or --tui is being used.

eda3913bb7 perf tools: Fix endian conversion reading event attr from file header
The perf_event_attr struct has two __u32's at the top and
they need to be swapped individually.

With this change I was able to analyze a perf.data collected in a
32-bit PPC VM on an x86 system. I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit
binaries for the Intel analysis side; both read the PPC perf.data
file correctly.

-v2:
 - changed the existing perf_event__attr_swap() to swap only elements
   of perf_event_attr and exported it for use in swapping the
   attributes in the file header
 - updated swap_ops used for processing events

0111919da2 perf tools: Add missing 'node' alias to the hw_cache[] array
Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.

The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:

  # ./perf stat -e krava ls

The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.

Adding read/write/prefetch as allowed operations for node cache
event.

14a8fd7cee perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modules
Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.

E.g)
 # perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
   -a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
 Add new events:
   probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
   probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)

 You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:

         perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C <comms>.

 v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
	- Added -c to perf script
	- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
	- Update documentation

 v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

3ae9a34d74 perf stat: Add noise output for csv mode
Previously, when you want perf-stat to output the statistics in
csv mode, no information of the noise will be printed out.

For example right now we output this --repeat information:

 ./perf stat -r3 -x, sleep 1
 1.164789,task-clock
 8,context-switches
 0,CPU-migrations
 219,page-faults
 3337800,cycles

With this patch, the output will be appended with an additional
entry for the noise value:

 ./perf stat -r3 -x, sleep 1
 1.164789,task-clock,3.75%
 8,context-switches,75.00%
 0,CPU-migrations,100.00%
 219,page-faults,0.00%
 3337800,cycles,3.36%

cb1955b86c perf tools: Only display parent field if explictly sorted
We don't need to display the parent field if the parent
sorting machinery is only used for parent filtering
(as in "-p foo").

However if parent filtering is used in combination with
explicit parent sorting ( -s parent), we want to
display it.

Result with:

  perf report -p kernel_thread -s parent

fd8ea21276 perf tools: Allow sort dimensions to be registered more than once
So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
if we request a parent filter (-p foo).

We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
"-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
parent.

The practical current effect of this is to make parent

were given a null parent but were still displayed. This
resulted in some weird effects:

Discard these from the stdio display.

Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
graph statistics.

Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.

203db2952b tools/perf: Fix static build of perf tool
To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed
libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols
resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt
support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an
unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs
libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in
the long run without the need to keep track of transitive
library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS
multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

09223371de rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.

The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.

Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)

This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.
