Removing it from util.h, part of an effort to disentangle the includes
hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause
a complete rebuild of the tools.

<title>perf tools: Find right DSO taking into account if binary is 32 or 64-bit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:76c588f1f6b560c510953b390bc0a26c27cbfbd0</id>
<content type='text'>
There's a problem in machine__findnew_vdso(), vdso buildid generated by a
32-bit machine stores it with the name 'vdso', but when processing buildid on a
64-bit machine with the same 'perf.data', perf will search for vdso named as
'vdso32' and get failed.

This patch tries to find the existing dsos in machine-&gt;dsos by thread dso_type.
64-bit thread tries to find vdso with name 'vdso', because all 64-bit vdso is
named as that. 32-bit thread first tries to find vdso with name 'vdso32' if
this thread was run on 64-bit machine, if failed, then it tries 'vdso' which
indicates that the thread was run on 32-bit machine when recording.

Committer note:

Additional explanation by Adrian Hunter:

We match maps to builds ids using the file name - consider
machine__findnew_[v]dso() called in map__new().  So in the context of a perf
data file, we consider the file name to be unique.

A vdso map does not have a file name - all we know is that it is vdso.  We look
at the thread to tell if it is 32-bit, 64-bit or x32.  Then we need to get the
build id which has been recorded using short name "[vdso]" or "[vdso32]" or
"[vdsox32]".

The problem is that on a 32-bit machine, we use the name "[vdso]".  If you take
a 32-bit perf data file to a 64-bit machine, it gets hard to figure out if
"[vdso]" is 32-bit or 64-bit.

This patch solves that problem.

 ----

This also merges a followup patch fixing a problem introduced by the
original submission of this patch, that would crash 'perf record' when
recording samples for a 32-bit app on a 64-bit system.

<title>perf tools: Fix lockup using 32-bit compat vdso</title>

The __machine__findnew_compat() function is called only from
__machine__findnew_vdso_compat() which is called only from
machine__findnew_vdso() which already holds machine-&gt;dsos.lock, so
remove locking from __machine__findnew_compat().

This manifests itself tracing 32-bit programs with a 64-bit perf.

<title>perf tools: Reference count struct dso</title>

<content type='text'>
This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.

So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

To allow concurrent access, next step: refcount struct dso instances, so
that we can ditch unused them when the last map pointing to it goes
away.

<title>perf machine: Fix up vdso methods names</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9a4388c711d07889217b19eaf63485122dec8817</id>
<content type='text'>
To make it consistent with the other dso lifetime routines.

For instance:

 struct dso *vdso__new(struct machine *machine, const char *short_name,
		        const char *long_name)

Becomes:

 struct dso *machine__addnew_vdso(struct machine *machine, const
				  char *short_name, const char *long_name)

Because:

1) There is no 'struct vdso' for us to have vdso__ prefixed routines.

2) Because it will not really just create a new instance of 'struct
   dso', it'll call dso__new() but it will also insert it into the
   DSO's list/rbtree, and we have a method name for that: 'addnew',
   just like we have dsos__addnew().

3) So it is really a 'struct machine' operation, it is the first
   argument, etc.

This way the place where this is used gets consistent:

                if (vdso) {
                        pgoff = 0;
-                       dso = vdso__dso_findnew(machine, thread);
+                       dso = machine__findnew_vdso(machine, thread);
                } else
                        dso = machine__findnew_dso(machine, filename);

We can, given a DSO, figure out if it is a kernel, a kernel module or
a userlevel DSO, so stop having to process two lists in several
functions.

If searching becomes an issue at some point, we can have them in a
rbtree, etc.

popen() causes an error message to print if perf-read-vdso32 does not
run.  Avoid that by not trying to run it if it was not built.  Ditto
perf-read-vdsox32.

<title>perf tools: Add support for 32-bit compatibility VDSOs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6832e1720f5cc283703cfe9ccbfb46a3fb6f548</id>
<content type='text'>
'perf record' post-processes the event stream  to create a list of
build-ids for object files for which sample events have been recorded.
That results in those object files being recorded in the build-id cache.

In the case of VDSO, perf tools reads it from memory and copies it into
a temporary file, which as decribed above, gets added to the build-id
cache.

Then when the perf.data file is processed by other tools, the build-id
of VDSO is listed in the perf.data file and the VDSO can be read from
the build-id cache.  In that case the name of the map, the short name of
the DSO, and the entry in the build-id cache are all "[vdso]".

However, in the 64-bit case, there also can be 32-bit compatibility
VDSOs.

A previous patch added programs "perf-read-vdso32" and "perf
read-vdsox32".

This patch uses those programs to read the correct VDSO for a thread and
create a temporary file just as for the 64-bit VDSO.

The map name and the entry in the build-id cache are still "[vdso]" but
the DSO short name becomes "[vdso32]" and "[vdsox32]" respectively.

perf tools copy VDSO out of memory.  However, on 64-bit machines there
may be 32-bit compatibility VDOs also.  To copy those requires separate
32-bit executables.

This patch adds to the build additional programs perf-read-vdso32 and
perf-read-vdsox32 for 32-bit and x32 respectively.
