Note: Though this should already work with O=$outputdir we better use
the OUTPUT variable directly.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo fcf65bf149 perf evsel: Cache associated event_format
We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data
header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do
it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can
avoid relookups in tools that need to access it.

Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were
using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further
removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event
field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per
event_format fields).

This is something that was planned but only got actually done when
Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when
we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with
pevent_find_event().

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 8b6ee4c5d4 perf header: Set the tracepoint names on PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA
We only have access to pevent after processing that event, so set the
tracepoint names there.

Right now this isn't a problem as we're deferring resolving the
tracepoint names to when we process samples, but in the next patches we
will be doing it in advance, to avoid relookups, so do it earlier, as
soon as we process the tracing data event.

Artem Bityutskiy f0cd2dbb6c vfs: kill write_super and sync_supers
Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the
'->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone.
Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and
its dirty state.

The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management.
Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up
every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and
even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and
journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And
because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it.
So I am quite happy to make it go away.

Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which
was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old
Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and
'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.

the default shells on many systems do not support this feature resulting in
some generated files not being removed by clean.

David Ahern 347ed9903a perf kvm: Use strtol for walking guestmount directory
Only want to process directories under the guestmnount directory that
have a pid as a name (ie, all digits). Other entries in the guestmount
directory should be ignored.  There is already a check that requires the
first character of each entry to be a digit, but atoi is used to convert
the directory name to a pid. For example if guestmount contains a
directory with the name 1foo, atoi converts it to a pid of 1 and a
machine is created with a pid of 1. This is wrong; this directory really
should be ignored. Use strtol to do that.
