Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a7c2b572e2 perf map_groups: Auto sort maps by name, if needed
There are still lots of lookups by name, even if just when loading
vmlinux, till that code is studied to figure out if its possible to do
away with those map lookup by names, provide a way to sort it using
libc's qsort/bsearch.

Doing it at the first lookup defers the sorting a bit, and as the code
stands now, is never done for user maps, just for the kernel ones.

  # perf probe -l
  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L __map_groups__find_by_name
  <__map_groups__find_by_name@/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:0>
        0  static struct map *__map_groups__find_by_name(struct map_groups *mg, const char *name)
        1  {
                  struct map **mapp;

        4         if (mg->maps_by_name == NULL &&
        5             map__groups__sort_by_name_from_rbtree(mg))
        6                 return NULL;

        8         mapp = bsearch(name, mg->maps_by_name, mg->nr_maps, sizeof(*mapp), map__strcmp_name);
        9         if (mapp)
       10                 return *mapp;
       11         return NULL;
       12  }

           struct map *map_groups__find_by_name(struct map_groups *mg, const char *name)
           {

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf 'found=__map_groups__find_by_name:10 name:string'
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:found     (on __map_groups__find_by_name:10 in /home/acme/bin/perf with name:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_perf:found -aR sleep 1

                   */

       22                 if (strcmp(map->dso->short_name, name) == 0) {
       23                         mg->last_search_by_name = map;
       24                         goto out_unlock;
                          }

       27         map = NULL;

           out_unlock:
       30         up_read(&maps->lock);
       31         return map;
       32  }

           int dso__load_vmlinux(struct dso *dso, struct map *map,
                                const char *vmlinux, bool vmlinux_allocated)

  # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf 'fallback=map_groups__find_by_name:21 name:string'
  Added new events:
    probe_perf:fallback  (on map_groups__find_by_name:21 in /home/acme/bin/perf with name:string)
    probe_perf:fallback_1 (on map_groups__find_by_name:21 in /home/acme/bin/perf with name:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_perf:fallback_1 -aR sleep 1

  #
  # perf probe -l
    probe_perf:fallback  (on map_groups__find_by_name:21@util/symbol.c in /home/acme/bin/perf with name_string)
    probe_perf:fallback_1 (on map_groups__find_by_name:21@util/symbol.c in /home/acme/bin/perf with name_string)
    probe_perf:found     (on __map_groups__find_by_name:10@util/symbol.c in /home/acme/bin/perf with name_string)
  #
  # perf stat -e probe_perf:*

Now run 'perf top' in another term and then, after a while, stop 'perf stat':

Furthermore, if we ask for interval printing, we can see that that is done just
at the start of the workload:

  # perf stat -I1000 -e probe_perf:*
  #           time             counts unit events
