There seems to be a new dependency on arch/*/lib/memcpy*.S when compiling
the perf tool. Make sure that file is included in the MANIFEST when
creating the tarball.

The ordered sample code allocates singular reference objects struct
sample_queue which have 48byte size on 64bit and 20 bytes on 32bit. That's
silly. Allocate ~64k sized chunks and hand them out.
Performance gain: ~ 15%

When the sample queue is flushed we free the sample reference objects. Though
we need to malloc new objects when we process further. Stop the malloc/free
orgy and cache the already allocated object for resuage. Only allocate when
the cache is empty.

Profiling perf with perf revealed that a large part of the processing time is
spent in malloc/memcpy/free in the sample ordering code. That code copies the
data from the mmap into malloc'ed memory. That's silly. We can keep the mmap
and just store the pointer in the queuing data structure. For 64 bit this is
not a problem as we map the whole file anyway. On 32bit we keep 8 maps around
and unmap the oldest before mmaping the next chunk of the file.
Performance gain: 2.95s -> 1.23s (Faktor 2.4)

On 64bit we can map the whole file in one go, on 32bit we can at least map
32MB and not map/unmap tiny chunks of the file.
Base the progress bar on 1/16 of the data size.
Preparatory patch to get rid of the malloc/memcpy/free of trace data.

The homebrewn sort algorithm fails to sort in time order. One of the problem
spots is that it fails to deal with equal timestamps correctly.
My first gut reaction was to replace the fancy list with an rbtree, but the
performance is 3 times worse.

Fix it by explaining what can be happening and giving the number of processed
and lost events.
Also holler if unknown events were found, that can be due to processing a
perf.data file collected using a newer tool where newer events got added on
reporting using an older perf tool, that or a bug, so ask for a report to be
made.
Works on both --tui and --stdio.

Tool developers have to fill in a 'perf_event_ops' method table to
specify how to handle each event, so far the ones that were not
explicitely especified would get a stub that would just discard the
event.
Change that so that tool developers can get the lost event details and
the total number of such events at the end of 'perf report -D' output.

Collecting build-ids for long running sessions may take a long time
because it needs to traverse the whole just collected perf.data stream
of events, marking the DSOs that had hits and then looking for the
.note.gnu.build-id ELF section.
For things like the 'trace' tool that records and right away consumes
the data on systems where its unlikely that the DSOs being monitored
will change while 'trace' runs, it is desirable to remove build id
collection, so add a -B/--no-buildid option to perf record to allow such
use case.
Longer term we'll avoid all this if we, at DSO load time, in the kernel,
take advantage of this slow code path to collect the build-id and stash
it somewhere, so that we can insert it in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event.

The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot,
some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall).
The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall()
and expects the hardware pmu to be present.
Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to
initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit
initcall right after that.

In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they
return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing
a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have
specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all
NMIs thinking the counters overflowed.
This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its
magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests.
The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the
initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm
guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as
a result.

no being exclusive with the list iteration in the inheritance code.

arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S memcpy routines via 'perf bench mem'
This patch ports arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S to perf bench mem
memcpy for benchmarking memcpy() in userland with tricky and
dirty way.
util/include/asm/cpufeature.h, util/include/asm/dwarf2.h, and
util/include/linux/linkage.h are mostly dummy files with small
wrappers, so that we are able to include memcpy_64.S
unmodified.

This patch makes several changes to "perf stat":
- "perf stat" will no longer go ahead and run the application when one or
more of the specified events could not be opened.
- Use error() and die() instead of pr_err() so that the output is more
consistent with "perf top" and "perf record".
- Handle permission errors in a more robust way, and in a similar way to
"perf record" and "perf top".
In addition, the sys_perf_event_open() error handling of "perf top" and "perf
record" is made more consistent and adds the following phrase when an event
doesn't open (with something ther than an access or permission error):
"/bin/dmesg may provide additional information."
This is added because kernel code doesn't have a good way of expressing
detailed errors to user space, so its only avenue is to use printk's. However,
many users may not think of looking at dmesg to find out why an event is being
rejected.

Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().
It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.
struct fstrim_range {
__u64 start;
__u64 len;
__u64 minlen;
}
start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
block size.
After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included
in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point
in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through
->ioctl.
So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs
from super_operation structure.

This reverts commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a.
It turns out that this can break certain existing user land setups.
Quoth Sarah Sharp:
"On Wednesday, I updated my branch to commit 460781b from linus' tree,
and my box would not boot. klogd segfaulted, which stalled the whole
system.
At first I thought it actually hung the box, but it continued booting
after 5 minutes, and I was able to log in. It dropped back to the
text console instead of the graphical bootup display for that period
of time. dmesg surprisingly still works. I've bisected the problem
down to this commit (commit 59365d136d205cc20fe666ca7f89b1c5001b0d5a)
The box is running klogd 1.5.5ubuntu3 (from Jaunty). Yes, I know
that's old. I read the bit in the commit about changing the
permissions of kallsyms after boot, but if I can't boot that doesn't
help."
So let's just keep the old default, and encourage distributions to do
the "chmod -r /proc/kallsyms" in their bootup scripts. This is not
worth a kernel option to change default behavior, since it's so easily
done in user space.

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).
Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.
Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
and manually included in CFLAGS

This patch adds a new -A option to perf stat. If specified then perf stat does
not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode, i.e., when
using -a. This option is not supported in per-thread mode.
Being able to get a per-cpu breakdown is useful to detect imbalances between
CPUs when running a uniform workload than spans all monitored CPUs.
The second version corrects the missing cpumap[] support, so that it works when
the -C option is used.
The third version fixes a missing cpumap[] in print_counter() and removes a
stray patch in builtin-trace.c.
Examples on a 4-way system:
# perf stat -a -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
9592808135 cycles
3490380006 instructions # 0.364 IPC
1.001584632 seconds time elapsed
# perf stat -a -A -e cycles,instructions -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
CPU0 2398163767 cycles
CPU1 2398180817 cycles
