For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its
build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache.
Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a
perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have
the tools find it when resolving symbols.
It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

There are still some problems related to loading vmlinux files,
but those are unrelated to the feature implemented in this
patch, so will get fixed in the next patches, but here are some
results:
1. collect perf.data file on a Fedora 12 machine, x86_64, 64-bit
userland
2. transfer it to a Debian Testing machine, PARISC64, 32-bit
userland

So I think this is really, really nice in that it demonstrates
the portability of perf.data files and the use of build-ids
accross such aliens worlds :-)
There are some things to fix tho, like the bitmap on the header,
but things are looking good.

That does all the initialization boilerplate, opening the file,
reading the header, checking if it is valid, etc.
And that will as well have the threads list, kmap (now) global
variable, etc, so that we can handle two (or more) perf.data files
describing sessions to compare.

With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP
calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session
finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids,
stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new
feature bit in the header bitmask.
'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the
'dsos' list and set the build ids.
When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that
doesn't have the same build id. This improves the
reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling
data is more guaranteed to match.
Example:
[root@doppio ~]# perf report | head
/home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols
# Samples: 2621434559
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............... ............................. ......
#
7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet
7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9
[root@doppio ~]#
In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished,
so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly
different (and misleading) output.
Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build
id notes for it and the modules from /sys.
Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command:
'perf list-buildids'
that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to
fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This
will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine
and 'perf report' in another.
Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel
in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the
DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this
patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older
kernels.

Use DECLARE_BITMAP instead of an open coded array for our bitmap
of featured sections.
This makes the array an unsigned long instead of a u64 but since
we use a 256 bits bitmap, the array size shouldn't vary between
different boxes.

This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is
added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing
optional features present in the perf.data file.
The layout can be pictured like this:
(Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature
n][Feature 255]
If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file.
They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward
compatibility.
The trace_info section has moved into such optional features,
this is the first and only one for now.
This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although
it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file.
And finally it doesn't support the current interim development
version.

This drops the trace.info file and move its contents into the
common perf.data file.
This is done by creating a new trace_info section into this file. A
user of perf headers needs to call perf_header__set_trace_info() to
save the trace meta informations into the perf.data file.
A file created by perf after his patch is unsupported by previous
version because the size of the headers have increased.
That said, it's two new fields that have been added in the end of
the headers, and those could be ignored by previous versions if
they just handled the dynamic header size and then ignore the
unknow part. The offsets guarantee the compatibility. We'll do a
-stable fix for that.
But current previous versions handle the header size using its
static size, not dynamic, then it's not backward compatible with
trace records.

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. )

The trace event name<->id mapping is dynamic for each kernel
compile. In order for perf.data to be useable outside the actual
system, we thus need to store a table of this mapping for later
use.
This patch adds this table to perf.data, and provides helper
functions for lookup up fields from this table.
To avoid mistakes, lookup-from-table is kept completely seprate
from lookup-from-local-debugfs.

for some reason, this structure gets compiled as 36 bytes in some files
(the ones that alloacte it) but 40 bytes in others (the ones that use it).
The cause is an off_t type that gets a different size in different
compilation units for some yet-to-be-explained reason.
But the effect is disasterous; the size/offset members of the struct
are at different offsets, and result in mostly complete garbage.
The parser in perf is so robust that this all gets hidden, and after
skipping an certain amount of samples, it recovers.... so this bug
is not normally noticed.
.... except when you want every sample to be exact.
Fix this by just using an explicitly sized type.

Create a structured file format that includes the full
perf_counter_attr and all its relevant counter IDs so that
the reporting program has full information.
