Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo e248de331a perf tools: Improve support for sessions with multiple events
By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded
sessions in addition to when we record sessions.

More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
the same time.

But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d7603d5122 perf hists: Remove needless global col lenght calcs
To support multiple events we need to do these calcs per 'struct hists'
instance, and it turns out we already do that at:

	__hists__add_entry
		hists__inc_nr_entries
			hists__calc_col_len

for all the unfiltered hist_entry instances we stash in the rb tree, so
trow away the dead code.

Since we'll need it when implementing the live annotate TUI browser.

This also simplifies things a bit by having the list head for the source
code to be in the dynamicly allocated part of struct annotation, that
way we don't have to pass it around, it can be found from the struct
symbol that is passed everywhere.

They will be used by perf top, so that we have just one set of routines
to do annotation.

Rename "struct sym_priv" to "struct annotation", etc, to clarify this
code a bit.

Rename "struct sym_ext" to "struct source_line", to give it a meaningful
name, that clarifies that it is a the result of an addr2line call, that
is sorted by percentage one particular source code line appeared in the
annotation.

And since we're moving things around also rename 'sym_hist->ip' to
'sym_hist->addr' as we want to do data structure annotation at some
point.

Frederic Weisbecker 1b3a0e9592 perf callchain: Feed callchains into a cursor
The callchains are fed with an array of a fixed size.
As a result we iterate over each callchains three times:

- 1st to resolve symbols
- 2nd to filter out context boundaries
- 3rd for the insertion into the tree

This also involves some pairs of memory allocation/deallocation
everytime we insert a callchain, for the filtered out array of
addresses and for the array of symbols that comes along.

Instead, feed the callchains through a linked list with persistent
allocations. It brings several pros like:

- Merge the 1st and 2nd iterations in one. That was possible before
but in a way that would involve allocating an array slightly taller
than necessary because we don't know in advance the number of context
boundaries to filter out.

- Much lesser allocations/deallocations. The linked list keeps
persistent empty entries for the next usages and is extendable at
will.

- Makes it easier for multiple sources of callchains to feed a
stacktrace together. This is deemed to pave the way for cfi based
callchains wherein traditional frame pointer based kernel
stacktraces will precede cfi based user ones, producing an overall
callchain which size is hardly predictable. This requirement
makes the static array obsolete and makes a linked list based
iterator a much more flexible fit.

Basic testing on a big perf file containing callchains (~ 176 MB)
has shown a throughput gain of about 11% with perf report.

Frederic Weisbecker d425de5436 perf: Fix callchain hit bad cast on ascii display
ipchain__fprintf_graph() casts the number of hits in a branch as an
int, which means we lose its highests bits.

This results in meaningless number of callchain hits in perf.data
that have a high number of hits recorded, typically those that have
callchain branches hits appearing more than INT_MAX. This happens
easily as those are pondered by the event period.

David Ahern ec5761eab3 perf symbols: Add symfs option for off-box analysis using specified tree
The symfs argument allows analysis of perf.data file using a locally accessible
filesystem tree with debug symbols - e.g., tree created during image builds,
sshfs mount, loop mounted KVM disk images, USB keys, initrds, etc. Anything
with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a
local data store with build-ids.

Commiter notes:

o Fixed up symfs="/" variants handling.

o prefixed DSO__ORIG_GUEST_KMODULE case with symfs too, avoiding use of files
  outside the symfs directory.

Frederic Weisbecker 612d4fd7d0 perf: Support for callchains merge
If we sort the histograms by comm, which is the default,
we need to merge some of them, typically different thread
histograms of a same process, or just same comm. But during
this merge, we forgot to merge callchains.

So imagine we have three threads (tids: 1000, 1001, 1002) that
belong to comm "foo".

tid 1000 got 100 events
tid 1001 got 10 events
tid 1002 got 3 events

Once we merge these histograms to get a per comm result, we'll
finally get:

"foo" got 113 events

The problem is if we merge 1000 and 1001 histograms into 1002, then
the end merge result, wrt callchains, will be only callchains that
belong to 1002.
This is because we haven't handled callchains in the merge. Only those
from one of the threads inside a common comm survive.

It means during this merge, we can lose a lot of callchains.

Fix this by implementing callchains merge and apply it on histograms
that collapse.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0f0cbf7aa3 perf ui: New hists tree widget
The stock newt checkbox tree widget we were using was not really
suitable for hist entry + callchain browsing.

The problems with it were manifold:

- We needed to traverse the whole hist_entry rb_tree to add each entry +
  callchains beforehand.

- No control over the colors used for each row

So a new tree widget, based mostly on slang, was written.

It extends the ui_browser class already used for annotate to allow the
user to fold/unfold branches in the callchains tree, using extra fields
in the symbol_map class that is embedded in hist_entry and
callchain_node instances to store the folding state and when changing
this state calculates the number of rows that are produced when showing
a particular hist_entry instance.

This greatly speeds up browsing as we don't have to upfront touch all
the entries and only calculate callchain related operations when some
callchain branch is actually unfolded.

The memory footprint is also reduced as the data structure is not
duplicated, just some extra fields for controling callchain state and to
simplify the process of seeking thru entries (nr_rows, row_offset) were
added.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 70a7cb3b39 perf annotate: Fix handling of goto labels that are valid hex numbers
When parsing the objdump disassembly output we can have goto labels that
are valid hex numbers and thus get confused with lines with machine
code.

Handle the common case of a label that has nothing after it and other
cases where there is just source code by validating the resulting "ip".

It is still possible that we find goto labels that are in the function
address range, but only if they are located before the real address we
should be OK.

A change in the objdump output to have a clear marker separating
addresses from the disassembly would come handy, but we would still have
to deal with older versions.

this value and we always print the buffer, which might be
untouched and then only made of random stack garbage.

Not only does it paint the screen with barf, it also prints
the callchains for these hists, even though they have been filtered,
since the hist has been filtered as well.

We need to check the return value of hist_entry__snprintf() and
ignore the hist if it is 0, which means it didn't get any callchain
matching the parent filter. This fixes the barf and the undesired
callchains.

Perf report is demangling symbols but not annotate.

The former uses internal demangling via libbdf or libiberty. The latter
executes objdump which by default does not demangle symbols.

This patch adds the -C option to the objdump cmdline to enable symbol

We were still using the pathname found on the MMAP event, that could not

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c82ee828aa perf report: Report number of events, not samples
Number of samples is meaningless after we switched to auto-freq, so
report the number of events, i.e. not the sum of the different periods,
but the number PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE emitted by the kernel.

While doing this I noticed that naming "count" to the sum of all the
event periods can be confusing, so rename it to .period, just like in
struct sample.data, so that we become more consistent.

This helps with the next step, that was to record in struct hist_entry
the number of sample events for each instance, we need that because we
use it to generate the number of events when applying filters to the
tree of hist entries like it is being done in the TUI report browser.

Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost

Looking at the users, builtin-sched.c can make use of these fields and

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ef7b93a119 perf report: Librarize the annotation code and use it in the newt browser
Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.

Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.

The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1c02c4d2e9 perf hist: Introduce hists class and move lots of methods to it
In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.

While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.

Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.

The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

This allows us to remove the use_browser checking in the color_printf

The newt TUI browser (and other GUIs that may come in the future) don't
have to worry about stdio specific stuff in the strings they get from
the se->snprintf routines and instead use whatever means to do the
equivalent.

Also the newt TUI browser don't have to use the fmemopen() hack, instead
it can use the se->snprintf routines directly. For now tho use the
hist_entry__snprintf routine to reduce the patch size.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 5f4d3f8816 perf report: Add progress bars
For when we are processing the events and inserting the entries in the
browser.

Experimentation here: naming "ui_something" we may be treading into
creating a TUI/GUI set of routines that can then be implemented in terms
of multiple backends.

Also the time it takes for adding things to the "browser" takes, visually
(I guess I should do some profiling here ;-) ), more time than for
processing the events...

That means we probably need to create a custom hist_entry browser, so
that we reuse the structures we have in place instead of duplicating
them in newt.

But progress was made and at least we can see something while long files
are being loaded, that must be one of UI 101 bullet points :-)
