perf script: Fix a NULL pointer dereference

If 'perf script --gen-script' was called with a perf.data which contains
no tracepoint event, it'd segfault due to NULL pevent pointer. Fix it.

perf symbols: Use both runtime and debug images

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.

This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.

Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).

Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.

This fixes 2 issues:

 - Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
   installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
   function descriptors.

 - On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
   that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
   dynsym section.

Assumptions:

 - If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
   image with a dynsym section.

 - This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
   (ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

perf symbols: Convert dso__load_syms to take 2 symsrc's

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
(which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).

The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
pass both runtime & debug images.

Assumptions made here:

 - The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
   both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.

 - The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
   image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.

Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).

perf symbols: Factor want_symtab out of dso__load_sym()

Only one callsite of dso__load_sym() uses the want_symtab functionality,
so place the logic at the callsite instead of within dso__load_sym().

dso__load()).

We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of

don't point to their actual location, they point to their function
descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location.

It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end
up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for

perf tools: Support for DWARF mode callchain

This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code.

It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
  'fp'           - provides framepointer based user
                   stack backtrace
  'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack
                   backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
                   user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default.

If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument
becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option
in any case.

Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)

   perf record -g dwarf ls
      - provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size

   perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
      - provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size

   perf record -g -- ls
   perf record -g fp ls
      - provides frame pointer unwind

perf scripts python: Add event_analyzing_sample.py as a sample for general event handling

Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script,
the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of
events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the
basic information of the events and analyze them.

This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them
into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to
sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions
according to their specific requirment.

Here is the sample of how to use the script:

 $ perf record -a tree
 $ perf script -s process_event.py

There is 100 records in gen_events table

perf scripts python: Add a python library EventClass.py

This library defines several class types for perf events which could
help to better analyze the event samples. Currently there are just a few
classes, PerfEvent is the base class for all perf events,  PebsEvent is
a HW base Intel x86 PEBS event, and user could add more SW/HW event
classes based on requriements.

perf script: Replace "struct thread" with "struct addr_location" as a parameter for "process_event()"

Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace
points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info to
the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics.

Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using
addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional
symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need to
bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

perf script: Add general python handler to process non-tracepoint events

This patch just follows Robert Richter's idea and the commit 37a058ea0
"perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events"
to similarly add a python handler for general events other than tracepoints.

For non-tracepoint events, this patch will try to find a function named
"process_event" in the python script, and pass the event attribute,
perf_sample, raw_data in format of raw string. And the python script can
use "struct" module's unpack function to disasemble the needed info and process.

perf evsel: Cache associated event_format

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data
header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do
it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can
avoid relookups in tools that need to access it.

Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were
using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further
removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event
field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per
event_format fields).

This is something that was planned but only got actually done when
Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when
we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with
pevent_find_event().

We only have access to pevent after processing that event, so set the

Right now this isn't a problem as we're deferring resolving the

will be doing it in advance, to avoid relookups, so do it earlier, as

vfs: kill write_super and sync_supers

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the
'->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone.
Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and
its dirty state.

The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
So I am quite happy to make it go away.

Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

perf kvm: Use strtol for walking guestmount directory

Only want to process directories under the guestmnount directory that
have a pid as a name (ie, all digits). Other entries in the guestmount
directory should be ignored.  There is already a check that requires the
first character of each entry to be a digit, but atoi is used to convert
the directory name to a pid. For example if guestmount contains a
directory with the name 1foo, atoi converts it to a pid of 1 and a
machine is created with a pid of 1. This is wrong; this directory really
should be ignored. Use strtol to do that.

perf tool: Save cmdline from user in file header vs what is passed to record

A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to
cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of
the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command
-- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line
as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record.

As an example consider the command:
$ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record
    -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10

Currently the command saved to the header is:
    cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1

(ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm).

With this patch the command line saved to the header is:
cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount
    record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1

v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion

perf top: Error handling for counter creation should parallel perf-record

5a7ed29 fixed up perf-record but not perf-top. Similar argument holds
for it -- fallback to PMU only if it does not exist and handle invalid
attributes separately.

ACPI processor: Fix tick_broadcast_mask online/offline regression

In commit 99b725084 "ACPI processor hotplug: Delay acpi_processor_start()
call for hotplugged cores", acpi_processor_hotplug(pr) was wrongly replaced
by acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() inside the acpi_cpu_soft_notify(). This
patch will restore it back, fixing the tick_broadcast_mask regression:
