The present use of -Wcast-align causes the build to blow up on
SH due to generating a "cast increases required alignment of
target type" error on each invocation of list_for_each_entry().
It seems that this was previously reported and killed off in the
ia64 support patch, but nothing seems to have happened with
that. Presumably the same problem still remains there, too.

[from KS feedback]
Currently, scheduler delays are shown in a mostly transparent,
light yellow color. This color is rather hard to see on several
screens, especially projectors.
This patch changes the color of the scheduler delays to be a
much more "hard" yellow that survived the kernel summit
projector.

This patch fixes this oversight, by looking through all

as falling back to just showing the PID if no name for the

Randy Dunlap reported that 'make NO_64BIT=1' fails to build
a pure 32-b it binary on 64-bit/64-bit x86 systems.
The reason is that we dont pass in the -m32 and GCC defaults
to -m64.
So pass it in - and also extend the warning message about libelf

Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.
These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.
However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.

For doing work on the Linux power management components, I need to
make long (30+ seconds) traces. Currently, this then results in a
HUGE svg file, with mostly process data that isn't interesting.
This patch adds a --power-only mode to perf timechart that only
outputs the CPU power section of the SVG; this significantly
reduces the size of the SVG file, making even 30+ second traces
viewable with inkscape.
As a minor tweak for the same effect, the minimum text size is
decreased; current inkscape cannot zoom in deep enough to show text
this small, but it reduces inkscape compute time.

Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.
If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.
Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system.
The user makes a trace of what is going on with
> perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command
and then can turn the output of this into an svg file
> perf timechart
which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well
enough for me.
The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable"
picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom
level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a
specific area.

get_tracing_file() should be paired with put_tracing_file().

For 'perf sched map' output, determine max_cpu automatically,
instead of the static default of 15.

I noticed that perf-record continues profiling itself after the
child terminated and we're draining the buffer.
This can cause a _lot_ of overhead with --all recording - we keep
and keep recording, which produces new and new events.

Peter noticed that we have 3 ways of referring to the idle thread:
[idle]:0
swapper:0
swapper-0
Standardize on 'swapper:0'.

Use 'perf sched latency' to track the current task based on
context-switch events, and flag the cases where there's some
impossible transition: such as a PID being switched out that
was not switched in.

Output such lost event and state machine weirdness stats:
TOTAL: | 14974.910 ms | 46384 |
---------------------------------------------------
INFO: 8.865% lost events (19132 out of 215819, in 8 chunks)
INFO: 0.198% state machine bugs (49 out of 24708) (due to lost events?)
And increase buffering to -m 1024 (4 MB) by default. Since we
use output multiplexing that kind of space is needed.

Also, streamline the code a bit more, add asserts for various state
machine failures (they should be debugged if they occur) and fix
a few odd ends.
