<content type='text'>
The 'dso-&gt;kernel' condition is true also for kernel modules now,
and there are several places that were omited by the initial change:

  - we need to identify modules separately in dso__process_kernel_symbol
  - we need to set 'dso-&gt;kernel' for module from buildid table
  - there's no need to use 'dso-&gt;kernel || kmodule' in one condition

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf test -v object
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  Objdump command is: objdump -z -d --start-address=0xffffffff813e682f --stop-address=0xffffffff813e68af /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.7.14-200.fc32.x86_64/vmlinux
  Bytes read match those read by objdump
  Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffffc02dc257
  File is: /lib/modules/5.7.14-200.fc32.x86_64/kernel/arch/x86/crypto/crc32c-intel.ko.xz
  On file address is: 0xffffffffc02dc2e7
  dso__data_read_offset failed
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Object code reading: FAILED!
  #

After:

  # perf test object

<title>perf tools: Rename 'enum dso_kernel_type' to 'enum dso_space_type'</title>

<content type='text'>
Rename enum dso_kernel_type to enum dso_space_type, which seems like
better fit.

Committer notes:

This is used with 'struct dso'-&gt;kernel, which once was a boolean, so
DSO_SPACE__USER is zero, !zero means some sort of kernel space, be it
the host kernel space or a guest kernel space.

the clock related stuff in one place.

<title>perf header: Store clock references for -k/--clockid option</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d1e325cf40fec5fec9b18aa2b537de7e3680ef6c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new CLOCK_DATA feature that stores reference times when
-k/--clockid option is specified.

It contains the clock id and its reference time together with wall clock
time taken at the 'same time', both values are in nanoseconds.

The format of data is as below:

  struct {
       u32 version;  /* version = 1 */
       u32 clockid;
       u64 wall_clock_ns;
       u64 clockid_time_ns;
  };

This clock reference times will be used in following changes to display
wall clock for perf events.

It's available only for recording with clockid specified, because it's
the only case where we can get reference time to wallclock time. It's
can't do that with perf clock yet.

Committer testing:

  $ perf record -h -k

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -k, --clockid &lt;clockid&gt;
                            clockid to use for events, see clock_gettime()

  $ perf record -k monotonic sleep 1

  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
  $ perf report --header-only | grep clockid -A1

<title>perf session: Try to read pipe data from file</title>

<id>urn:sha1:14d3d54052539a1e833b5b615add5bc9ac3ef76a</id>
<content type='text'>
Ian came with the idea of having support to read the pipe data also from
file. Currently pipe mode files fail like:

  $ perf record -o - sleep 1 &gt; /tmp/perf.pipe.data
  $ perf report -i /tmp/perf.pipe.data
  incompatible file format (rerun with -v to learn more)

This patch adds the support to do that by trying the pipe header first,
and if its successfully detected, switching the perf data to pipe mode.

Committer testing:

  # ls
  # perf record -a -o - sleep 1 &gt; /tmp/perf.pipe.data
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
  # ls
  # perf report -i /tmp/perf.pipe.data | head -25
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

<title>perf tools: Do not seek in pipe fd during tracing data processing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b491198db8fd8db0aacb880964dea891f0b6c04e</id>
<content type='text'>
There's no need to set 'fd' position in pipe mode, the file descriptor
is already in proper place. Moreover the lseek will fail on pipe
descriptor and that's why it's been working properly.

I was tempted to remove the lseek calls completely, because it seems
that tracing data event was always synthesized only in pipe mode, so
there's no need for 'file' mode handling. But I guess there was a reason
behind this and there might (however unlikely) be a perf.data that we
could break processing for.

<id>urn:sha1:6f91ea283a1ed23e4a548ddd62db6deb2c707f82</id>
<content type='text'>
To stitch LBR call stack, the max LBR information is required. So the
CPU PMU capabilities information has to be stored in perf header.

Add a new feature HEADER_CPU_PMU_CAPS for CPU PMU capabilities.
Retrieve all CPU PMU capabilities, not just max LBR information.

Add variable max_branches to facilitate future usage.

The perf.data may be generated by a newer version of perf tool, which
support new input bits in attr, e.g. new bit for branch_sample_type.

The perf.data may be parsed by an older version of perf tool later.  The
old perf tool may parse the perf.data incorrectly. There is no warning
message for this case.

Current perf header never check for unknown input bits in attr.

When read the event desc from header, check the stored event attr.  The
reserved bits, sample type, read format and branch sample type will be
checked.
