Instead of using zalloc(nr_entries * sizeof_entry) that is what calloc()
does.

In some places where linux/zalloc.h isn't needed, remove it, add when
needed and was getting it indirectly.

The hashmap__new() function never returns NULL, it returns error
pointers. Fix the error checking to match.

Additionally, set ftrace-&gt;profile_hash to NULL on error, and return the
exact error code from hashmap__new().

Fixes: 0f223813edd051a5 ("perf ftrace: Add 'profile' command")

<title>perf ftrace latency: Add -e option to measure time between two events</title>

In addition to the function latency, it can measure events latencies.
Some kernel tracepoints are paired and it's menningful to measure how
long it takes between the two events.  The latency is tracked for the
same thread.

Currently it only uses BPF to do the work but it can be lifted later.
Instead of having separate a BPF program for each tracepoint, it only
uses generic 'event_begin' and 'event_end' programs to attach to any
(raw) tracepoints.

Gathering threads with a uid by scanning /proc is inherently racy
leading to perf_event_open failures that quit perf. All users of the
functionality now use BPF filters, so remove uid and uid_str from
target.

<title>perf ftrace: Use process/session specific trace settings</title>

Executing 'perf ftrace' commands 'ftrace', 'profile' and 'latency' leave
tracing disabled as can seen in this output:

 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
 1
 # perf ftrace trace --graph-opts depth=5 sleep 0.1 &gt; /dev/null
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
 0
 #

The 'tracing_on' file is not restored to its value before the command.

To fix that this patch uses the .../tracing/instances/XXX subdirectory
feature.

Each 'perf ftrace' invocation creates its own session/process
specific subdirectory and does not change the global state
in the .../tracing directory itself.

Use rmdir(../tracing/instances/dir) to stop process/session specific
tracing and delete all process/session specific setings.

Especially while using several buckets, it isn't uncommon to have some
of them empty and reading the histogram may be a bit more complex:

Especially while using several buckets, it isn't uncommon to have some
of them empty and reading the histogram may be a bit more complex:

The max-latency value can make the histogram smaller, but not larger, we
have a maximum of 22 buckets and specifying a max-latency that would
require more buckets has no effect.

Dynamically allocate the buckets and compute the bucket number from the
max latency as (max-min) / range + 2

If the maximum is not specified, we still set the bucket number to 22
and compute the maximum accordingly.

Fail if the maximum is smaller than min+range, this way we make sure we
always have 3 buckets: those below min, those above max and one in the
middle.

Since max-latency is not available in log2 mode, always use 22 buckets.

When min_latency is not given, it prints 0 - 0.  It should be 0 - 1.

Before:

  $ sudo ./perf ftrace latency -a -T do_futex sleep 1
  #   DURATION     |      COUNT | GRAPH                                          |

  ...

After:

  $ sudo ./perf ftrace latency -a -T do_futex sleep 1
  #   DURATION     |      COUNT | GRAPH                                          |

It's an optional feature and remains 0 when bucket range is not given.
And it makes the histogram goes to the last entry always because any
latency (num) is greater than or equal to 0.
