d7b76f0935 perf hists: Move the dso and thread filters from hist_browser
Since with dynamic addition of new hist entries we need to apply those
filters as we merge new batches of hist_entry instances, for instance in
perf top.

f1cf602c16 perf hists: Don't format the percentage on hist_entry__snprintf
We can't have color correctly set there because in libslang (and in a future
GUI) the colors must be set on a separate function call, so move that part to a
separate function and make the stdio fprintf function call it.

e345fa185a perf top: Remove entries from entries_collapsed on decay
We were removing only when using a --sort order that needs collapsing,
while we also use it in the threaded case, causing memory corruption
because we were scribbling freed hist entries, oops.

e39622ceb1 perf tools: Fix broken number of samples for perf report -n
The perf report -n option was broken because it was not reporting the
correct number of samples depending on the sorting mode. By default,
samples are sorted by comm,dso,sym. That means that samples for the same
command (binary) get collapsed.

The hists__collapse_insert_entry() had a bug whereby it was aggregating
the number of events observed (periods) but not the number of samples.
Consequently, the number of samples reported could be below reality. The
percentage remained correct because based on the periods.

This patch fixes the problem by also aggregating the number of samples.
Here is an example:

$ perf report -n --stdio
    12.38%        842     pong  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] __lock_acquire

Here pong (a ctxsw stress test), is the only program running
and thus it is the only one responsible for the lock_acquire samples.

If we change the sorting mode:

$ perf report -n --stdio --sort=sym
    12.38%       1732  [k] __lock_acquire

The actual number of samples is shown.

With the fix:

$ perf report -n --stdio
    12.38%       1732     pong  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] __lock_acquire

ab81f3fd35 perf top: Reuse the 'report' hist_entry/hists classes
This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':

1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
   "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
   that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.

And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:

[root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso
PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     0.08%  libX11.so.6.3.0
     0.07%  [vdso]

^C

All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols,
etc.

The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the
zoom operations, do annotation, etc.

This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as
well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

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.

e84d21227c perf tools: Don't display ignored entries on stdio ui
As for newt ui, don't display entries that have been marked
as ignored.

The practical current effect of this is to make parent
filtering really working. Before, entries that were ignored
were given a null parent but were still displayed. This
resulted in some weird effects:

 # Overhead      Command      Shared Object        Symbol
 # ........  ...........  .................  ............
 #
^A
                   |
                   --- __lock_acquire
                      |
                      |--95.97%-- lock_acquire
                      |          |
                      |          |--30.75%-- _raw_spin_lock

Discard these from the stdio display.

d797fdc5c5 perf tools: Add inverted call graph report support.
Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
graph statistics.

Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.

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.

for all the unfiltered hist_entry instances we stash in the rb tree, so

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

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.

9486aa3877 perf tools: Fix 64 bit integer format strings
Using %L[uxd] has issues in some architectures, like on ppc64.  Fix it
by making our 64 bit integers typedefs of stdint.h types and using
PRI[ux]64 like, for instance, git does.

Reported by Denis Kirjanov that provided a patch for one case, I went
and changed all cases.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

58c3439083 perf: Fix various display bugs with parent filtering
Hists that have been filtered, because they don't have callchains
matching the parent filter, won't be printed. As such,
hist_entry__snprintf() returns 0 for them, but we don't control
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.

edb7c60e27 perf options: Type check all the remaining OPT_ variants
OPT_SET_INT was renamed to OPT_SET_UINT since the only use in these
tools is to set something that has an enum type, that is builtin
compatible with unsigned int.

Several string constifications were done to make OPT_STRING require a
const char * type.

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.

cee75ac7ec perf hist: Clarify events_stats fields usage
The events_stats.total field is too generic, rename it to .total_period,
and also add a comment explaining that it is the sum of all the .period
fields in samples, that is needed because we use auto-freq to avoid
sampling artifacts.

Ditto for events_stats.lost, that is the sum of all lost_event.lost
fields, i.e. the number of events the kernel dropped.

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