Stephane Eranian 5c5e854bc7 perf tools: Add attr->mmap2 support
This patch adds support for the new PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 record type
exposed by the kernel. This is an extended PERF_RECORD_MMAP record.

It adds for each file-backed mapping the device major, minor number and
the inode number and generation.

This triplet uniquely identifies the source of a file-backed mapping. It
can be used to detect identical virtual mappings between processes, for
instance.

The patch will prefer MMAP2 over MMAP.

Adrian Hunter 314add6b1f perf tools: change machine__findnew_thread() to set thread pid
Add a new parameter for 'pid' to machine__findnew_thread().
Change callers to pass 'pid' when it is known.

Note that callers sometimes want to find the main thread
which has the memory maps.  The main thread has tid == pid
so the usage in that case is:

	machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, pid)

whereas the usage to find the specific thread is:

	machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, tid)

David Ahern 236a3bbd5c perf tools: Sample after exit loses thread correlation
Occassionally events (e.g., context-switch, sched tracepoints) are losing
the conversion of sample data associated with a thread. For example:

$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -c 1 -a -- sleep 5
$ perf script
<selected events shown>
    ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
    ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
:30482 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...

The last line lost the conversion from tid to comm. If you look at the events
(perf script -D) you see why - a SAMPLE event is generated after the EXIT:

0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0
... thread: :30482:30482

When perf processes the EXIT event the thread is moved to the dead_threads
list. When the SAMPLE event is processed no thread exists for the pid so a new
one is created by machine__findnew_thread.

This patch address the problem by delaying the move to the dead_threads list
until the tid is re-used (per Adrian's suggestion).

With this patch we get the previous example shows:

  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...
  ls 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482 ...

and

  0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
  0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482: 0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0
  ... thread: ls:30482

v4: per Arnaldo's request add dead flag to thread struct and set when task exits

v3: re-do from a time based check to a delayed move to dead_threads list

v2: Rebased to latest perf/core branch. Changed time comparison to use
    a macro which explicitly shows the time basis

Jason Wessel 8f76fcd902 perf machine: Do not require /lib/modules/* on a guest
For some types of work loads and special guest environments, you might
have a kernel that has no kernel modules.  The perf kvm record tool
fails instantiate vmlinux maps when the kernel modules directory cannot
be opened, even though the kallsyms has been properly processed.  This
leads to a perf kvm report that has no guest symbols resolved.

This patch changes the failure to locate kernel modules to be non-fatal.

Adrian Hunter 8e0cf965f9 perf symbols: Add support for reading from /proc/kcore
In the absence of vmlinux, perf tools uses kallsyms for symbols.  If the
user has access, now also map to /proc/kcore.

The dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__KCORE or
DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_KCORE as approprite.

This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test.  That is
fixed in a following patch.

Adrian Hunter 39b12f7812 perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from vmlinux
The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
object code from vmlinux.  That is because the mappings do not map to
the dso.  This patch fixes that.

A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must
be taken into account.  As a result of that separate map functions for
relocation are no longer needed.

Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and
so is not done.

The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX
or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX as approprite, which enables the
correct file name to be determined by dso__binary_type_file().

This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test.  That is
fixed in a following patch.

Greg Price b21484f1a1 perf report/top: Add option to collapse undesired parts of call graph
For example, in an application with an expensive function implemented
with deeply nested recursive calls, the default call-graph presentation
is dominated by the different callchains within that function.  By
ignoring these callees, we can collect the callchains leading into the
function and compactly identify what to blame for expensive calls.

For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are
scattered across the tree:

  $ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      22.03%     ruby  [.] gc_mark
                 --- gc_mark
                    |--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue
                    |          st_foreach
                    |          gc_mark_children
                    |          |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark
                    |          |          rb_vm_mark
                    |          |          gc_mark_children
                    |          |          gc_marks
                    |          |          |--99.00%-- garbage_collect

If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced:

  $ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
      72.92%     ruby  [.] garbage_collect
                 --- garbage_collect
                     vm_xmalloc
                    |--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc
                    |          st_insert2
                    |          rb_hash_aset
                    |          |--98.45%-- features_index_add
                    |          |          rb_provide_feature

perf_sample entries, but for tools not interested in doing any special
processing on non PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events, like 'perf top', and for
those not using perf_session, like 'perf trace', they were using
perf_event__process passing tool and sample paramenters that were just
not used.

Provide 'machine' methods for this purpose and make the perf_event
ones use them.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 9d2f8e22fc perf machine: Introduce find_thread method
There are cases where we want just to find a thread if it exists
already, so provide a method for that.

While doing that start moving 'machine' methods to a separate file.
