0ad21f6869 perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START
Add support for the PERF_RECORD_ITRACE_START event type.  This event can
be used to determine the pid and tid that are running when Instruction
Tracing starts.  Generally that information would come from a
sched_switch event but, at the start, no sched_switch events may yet
have been recorded.

4a96f7a02e perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX
Add support for the PERF_RECORD_AUX event type.

PERF_RECORD_AUX is a new kernel event that records when new data lands
in the AUX buffer. Currently it is assumed that AUX data follows the
same ring buffer conventions used by the perf events buffer, and
consequently the AUX event is not processed during recording.

It is processed during session processing so that the information in the
'flags' member is made available.

The format of PERF_RECORD_AUX is outlined in the linux/perf_events.h
header file. The 'flags' are also enumerated.

Intel PT and Intel BTS use the flag named PERF_AUX_FLAG_TRUNCATED to
determine if data has been lost because the buffer became full as perf
was not able to empty it fast enough.

e9bf54d25f perf tools: Add a user event for AUX area tracing errors
Errors encountered when decoding an AUX area trace need to be reported
to the user. However the "user" might be a script or another tool, so
provide a new user event to capture those errors.

a16ac0233e perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing
Add two user events for AUX area tracing.

PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO contains metadata, consisting primarily the
type of the AUX area tracing data plus some amount of
architecture-specific information.  There should be only one
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO event.

PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE identifies AUX area tracing data copied from the
mmapped AUX area tracing region.  The actual data is not part of the
event but immediately follows it.

3c659eedad perf tools: Add id index
Add an index of the event identifiers, in preparation for Intel PT.

The event id (also called the sample id) is a unique number
allocated by the kernel to the event created by perf_event_open().  Events
can include the event id by having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or
PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER.

Currently the main use of the event id is to match an event back to the
evsel to which it belongs i.e. perf_evlist__id2evsel()

The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to match an event back to
the mmap from which it was read.  The reason that is useful is because the
mmap represents a time-ordered context (either for a cpu or for a thread).
Intel PT decodes trace information on that basis.  In full-trace mode, that
information can be recorded when the Intel PT trace is read, but in
sample-mode the Intel PT trace data is embedded in a sample and it is in
that case that the "id index" is needed.

So the mmaps are numbered (idx) and the cpu and tid recorded against the id
by perf_evlist__set_sid_idx() which is called by perf_evlist__mmap_per_evsel().

That information is recorded on the perf.data file in the new "id index".
idx, cpu and tid are added to struct perf_sample_id (which is the node of
evlist's hash table to match ids to evsels).  The information can be
retrieved using perf_evlist__id2sid().  Note however this all depends on
having a sample type including PERF_SAMPLE_ID or PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER,
otherwise ids are not recorded.

The "id index" is a synthesized event record which will be created when
Intel PT sampling is used by calling perf_event__synthesize_id_index().

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.

6065210db9 perf tools: Remove event types framework completely
Removing event types framework completely. The only remainder (apart
from few comments) is following enum:

  enum perf_user_event_type {
    ...
    PERF_RECORD_HEADER_EVENT_TYPE           = 65, /* deprecated */
    ...
  }

It's kept as deprecated, resulting in error when processed in
perf_session__process_user_event function.

ee29be625b perf tools: Save some loops using perf_evlist__id2evsel
Since we already ask for PERF_SAMPLE_ID and use it to quickly find the
associated evsel, add handler func + data to struct perf_evsel to avoid
using chains of if(strcmp(event_name)) and also to avoid all the linear
list searches via trace_event_find.

To demonstrate the technique convert 'perf sched' to it:

 # perf sched record sleep 5m
