3b4694de35 perf probe: Fix to support libdwfl older than 0.148
Since the libdwfl library before 0.148 fails to analyze live kernel debuginfo,
'perf probe --list' compiled with those old libdwfl sometimes crashes.

To avoid that bug, perf probe does not use libdwfl's live kernel analysis
routine when it is compiled with older libdwfl.

Side effect: perf with older libdwfl doesn't support listing probe in modules
with source code line. Those could be shown by symbol+offset.

68a7a771ad perf buildid-cache: Fix symbolic link handling
This was broken since link(2) doesn't dereference symbolic
links. Instead 'filename' becomes a symbolic link to the same file
that 'name' refers to.

This had the bad effect to create dangling symlinks in the case that
even can't be removed with perf-buildid-cache(1).

d214afbd81 perf symbols: Figure out start address of kernel map from kallsyms
On ARM, module symbol start address is ahead of kernel symbol start address, so
we can't suppose that the start address of kernel map always is zero, otherwise
may cause incorrect .start and .end of kernel map (caused by fixup) when there
are modules loaded, then map_groups__find may return incorrect map for symbol
query.

This patch always figures out the start address of kernel map from
/proc/kallsyms if the file is available, so fix the issues on ARM for module
loaded case.

This patch fixes the following issues on ARM when modules are loaded:

	- vmlinux symbol can't be found by kallsyms maps doing 'perf test'
	- module symbols are parsed mistakenlly when doing 'perf top'/'perf report'

c1a3a4b90a perf record: Handle restrictive permissions in /proc/{kallsyms,modules}
The 59365d1 commit, even being reverted by 33e0d57, showed a non robust
behavior in 'perf record': it really should just warn the user that some
functionality will not be available.

The new behavior then becomes:

	[acme@felicio linux]$ ls -la /proc/{kallsyms,modules}
	-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/kallsyms
	-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 12:19 /proc/modules
	[acme@felicio linux]$ perf record ls -R > /dev/null
	Couldn't record kernel reference relocation symbol
	Symbol resolution may be skewed if relocation was used (e.g. kexec).
	Check /proc/kallsyms permission or run as root.
	[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.004 MB perf.data (~161 samples) ]

It still has the build-ids for DSOs in the maps with hits:

That can be used in another machine to resolve kernel symbols.

b5b8731219 perf trace: live-mode command-line cleanup
This patch attempts to make the perf trace command-line for live-mode
commands more user-friendly and consistent with other perf commands.

The main change it makes is to allow <commands> to be run as part of
perf trace live-mode commands, as other perf commands do, instead of
the system-wide traces they're currently hard-coded to by the shell
scripts.

With this patch, the following live-mode trace now works as expected:

 $ perf trace rw-by-pid ls -al

The previous system-wide behavior for this command would still be
available by explicitly specifying -a:

 $ perf trace rw-by-pid -a ls -al

and if no <command> is specified, the output is also system-wide:

 $ perf trace rw-by-pid

Because live-mode requires both record and report steps to be invoked,
it isn't always possible to know which args to send to the report and
which to send to the record steps - mainly this is the case for report
scripts with optional args - in those cases it would be necessary to
use separate 'perf trace record' and 'perf trace report' steps.

For example:

 $ perf trace syscall-counts ls

Here we can't decide whether ls should be passed as a param to the
syscall-counts script or whether we should invoke ls as a <command>.
In these cases, we just say that we'll ignore optional script params
and always interpret the extra arguments as a <command>.

If the user instead wants the other interpretation, that can be
accomplished by using separate record and report commands explicitly:

 $ perf trace record syscall-counts
 $ perf trace report syscall-counts ls

So the rules that this patch implements, which seem to make the most
intuitive sense for live-mode commands:

- for commands with optional args and commands with no args, no args
  are sent to the report script, all are sent to the record step

- for 'top' commands i.e. that end with 'top', <commands> can't be
  used - all extra args are send to the report script as params

- for commands with required args, the n required args are taken to be
  the first n args after the script name and sent to the report
  script, and the rest are sent to the record step

34c86ea97e perf trace record: handle commands correctly
Because the perf-trace shell scripts hard-coded the use of the
perf-record system-wide param, a perf trace record session was always
system wide, even if it was given a command.

If given a command, perf trace record now only records the events for
the command, as users expect.

If no command is given, or if the '-a' option is used, the recorded
events are system-wide, as before.

0ab7368f8d perf record: Remove newline character from perror() argument
If we include a newline character in the string argument to perror()
then the output will be split across two lines like so,

    Unable to read perf file descriptor
    : No space left on device

Deleting the newline character prints a much more readable error,

Existing documentation doesn't discuss event modifiers, so add a description of
what's currently possible to the documentation of perf-list.

8bfb5e7d6a perf tools: Remove direct slang.h include
We wrap it in libslang.h because we need to deal with older slang release
where HAVE_LONG_LONG is referenced as:

So we need to define it.

Noticed when rebuilding the perf tools on a RHEL5 machine.

469b9b8848 perf probe: Add basic module support
Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module
<MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and
variables in the given module.

Currently, this supports only probing on running modules.  Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.

e.g.)
[show lines]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
      0  int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
      1  {
                struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
      3         struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
 ...
[show vars]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
        @<drm_vblank_info+20>
                (unknown_type)  data
                struct drm_info_node*   node
                struct seq_file*        m
[put a probe]
 # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
  probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)

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

        perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1
[list probes]
 # ./perf probe -l
probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3@drivers/gpu/drm/drm_info.c with ...

fb8c5a56c7 perf probe: Show accessible global variables
Add --externs for allowing --vars to show accessible global (externally
defined) variables from a given probe point too.

This will give you a hint which globals can be accessible from the probe point.

0f940cb7d9 perf trace scripting: Fix extern struct definitions
Both python_scripting_ops and perl_scripting_ops have two global definitions.
One in trace-event-scripting.c and one in their respective scripting-engine
modules.

The issue is that depending on the linker order one definition or the other
is chosen. One is uninitialized (bss), while the other is initialized. If
the uninitialized version is chosen, then perf does not function properly.

This patch fixes this by adding the extern prefix to the definitions in
trace-event-scripting.c.
