f9ea55d0dd perf tools: Move weight back to common sort keys
This is a partial revert of Namhyung's patch

 afab87b91f
 perf sort: Separate out memory-specific sort keys

He wrote

 For global/local weights, I'm not entirely sure to place them into the
 memory dimension.  But it's the only user at this time.

Well TSX is another (in fact the original) user of the flags, and it
needs them to be common. So move local/global weight back to the common
sort keys.

e0af43d248 perf hists: Marking dummy hists entries
It does not make sense to make some computation (ratio, wdiff), when the
hist_entry is 'dummy' - added via hists__link.

Adding dummy field to struct hist_entry which indicates that it was
added by hists__link and avoiding some of the processing for such
entries.

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

This patch adds the sorting and histogram support
functions to enable profiling of memory accesses.

 - symbol_daddr: data address symbol (or raw address)
 - dso_daddr: data address shared object
 - locked: access uses locked transaction
 - tlb : TLB access
 - mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...)
 - snoop: access snoop mode

05484298cb perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)
perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.

Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the
total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event
and the total cost over the measurement period.

Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.

v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

fc5871ed0d perf sort: Separate out branch stack specific sort keys
Current perf report gets segmentation fault when a branch stack specific
sort key is provided by --sort option to a perf.data file which contains
no branch infomation.  It's because those sort keys reference branch
info of a hist entry unconditionally.  Maybe we can change it checks
whether such branch info is valid or not.  But if the branch stacks are
not recorded, it'd be nop.  Thus it'd be better to make those keys are
unselectable.

This patch separates those keys to a different dimension array, so that
if user passes such a key to a file which has no branch stack will get
following message rather than a segfault.

  Error: Invalid --sort key: `symbol_from'

perf.data files and moreover, match hist_entries (buckets) in multiple
events in a group.

So the "baseline"/"leader" will instead of a ->pair pointer, use a
list_head, that will link to the pairs and hists__match use it.

Following that perf_evlist__link will link the hists in its evsel
groups.

1980c2ebd7 perf hists: Threaded addition and sorting of entries
By using a mutex just for inserting and rotating two hist_entry rb
trees, so that when sorting we can get the last batch of entries created
from the ring buffer, merge it with whatever we have processed so far
and show the output while new entries are being added.

The 'report' tool continues, for now, to do it without threading, but
will use this in the future to allow visualization of results in long
perf.data sessions while the entries are being processed.

The new 'top' tool will be the first user.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So if you want to zoom into libc:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so | head -8
    37.34%                find  [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                find  [.] __GI_memmove

     5.07%     -1.00%     find  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%     find  [.] _int_free
$

And if there were multiple commands using libc, it is also
possible to aggregate them all by using --sort symbol:

$ perf diff --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%             [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%             [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%  [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%  [.] _int_free
$

The displacement column now is off by default, to use it:

perf diff -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
    37.34%                   [.] _IO_vfprintf_internal
    10.34%                   [.] __GI_memmove
     8.25%     +2.00%        [.] _int_malloc
     5.07%     -1.00%    +2  [.] __GI_mempcpy
     7.62%     +2.00%    -1  [.] _int_free
$

Using -t/--field-separator can be used for scripting:

$ perf diff -t, -m --dsos libc-2.10.1.so --sort symbol | head -8
37.34, , ,[.] _IO_vfprintf_internal

This should be enough for diffs where the system is non
volatile, i.e. when one doesn't updates binaries.

For volatile environments, stay tuned for the next perf tool
feature: a buildid cache populated by 'perf record', managed by
'perf buildid-cache' a-la ccache, and used by all the report
tools.

a4fb581b15 perf tools: Bind callchains to the first sort dimension column
Currently, the callchains are displayed using a constant left
margin. So depending on the current sort dimension
configuration, callchains may appear to be well attached to the
first sort dimension column field which is mostly the case,
except when the first dimension of sorting is done by comm,
because these are right aligned.

This patch binds the callchain to the first letter in the first
column, whatever type of column it is (dso, comm, symbol).
Before:

     0.80%             perf  [k] __lock_acquire
             __lock_acquire
             lock_acquire

             |          |          fsnotify
             |          |          __fsnotify_parent

After:

     0.80%             perf  [k] __lock_acquire
                       __lock_acquire
                       lock_acquire

                       |--58.33%-- _spin_lock
                       |          |

                       |          |          __fsnotify_parent

Also, for clarity, we don't put anymore the callchain as is but:

- If we have a top level ancestor in the callchain, start it
  with a first ascii hook.

  Before:

     0.80%             perf  [kernel]                        [k] __lock_acquire

                      [..]       [..]

   After:

     0.80%             perf  [kernel]                         [k] __lock_acquire
                       |
                       --- __lock_acquire
                           lock_acquire
                          |
                          |--58.33%-- _spin_lock
                          |          |

                         [..]       [..]

- Otherwise, if we have several top level ancestors, then
  display these like we did before:

af0a6fa463 perf tools: Fix missing top level callchain
While recursively printing the branches of each callchains, we
forget to display the root. It is never printed.

Say we have:

    symbol
    f1
    f2
     |
     -------- f3
     |        f4
     |
     ---------f5
              f6

Actually we never see that, instead it displays:

    symbol
    |
    --------- f3
    |         f4
    |
    --------- f5
              f6

However f1 is always the same than "symbol" and if we are
sorting by symbols first then "symbol", f1 and f2 will be well
aligned like in the above example, so displaying f1 looks
redundant here.

But if we are sorting by something else first (dso, comm,
etc...), displaying f1 doesn't look redundant but rather
necessary because the symbol is not well aligned anymore with
its callchain:

     comm     dso        symbol
     f1
     f2
     |
     --------- [...]

And we want the callchain to be obvious.
So we fix the bug by printing the root branch, but we also
filter its first entry if we are sorting by symbols first.

439d473b47 perf tools: Rewrite and improve support for kernel modules
Representing modules as struct map entries, backed by a DSO, etc,
using /proc/modules to find where the module is loaded.

DSOs now can have a short and long name, so that in verbose mode we
can show exactly which .ko or vmlinux image was used.

As kernel modules now are a DSO separate from the kernel, we can
ask for just the hits for a particular set of kernel modules, just
like we can do with shared libraries:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -n --vmlinux

     0.54%         85             Xorg  [k] drm_mm_search_free
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

Specifying --dsos /lib/modules/2.6.31-tip/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
would have the same effect. Allowing specifying just 'drm.ko' is left
for another patch.

Processing kallsyms so that per kernel module struct map are
instantiated was also left for another patch. That will allow
removing the module name from each of its symbols.

struct symbol was reduced by removing the ->module backpointer and
moving it (well now the map) to struct symbol_entry in perf top,
that is its only user right now.

The total linecount went down by ~500 lines.
