<title>perf tools: Fix kernel version error in ubuntu</title>

<id>d18acd15c6dfb669f0463afa31ac5343594d2fe2</id>

On ubuntu the internal kernel version code is different from what can
be retrived from uname:

 $ uname -r
 4.4.0-47-generic
 $ cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
 #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 263192
 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) &lt;&lt; 16) + ((b) &lt;&lt; 8) + (c))
 $ cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h
 #define UTS_RELEASE "4.4.0-47-generic"
 #define UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI 47
 $ cat /proc/version_signature
 Ubuntu 4.4.0-47.68-generic 4.4.24

The macro LINUX_VERSION_CODE is set to 4.4.24 (263192 == 0x40418), but
`uname -r` reports 4.4.0.

This mismatch causes LINUX_VERSION_CODE macro passed to BPF script become
an incorrect value, results in magic failure in BPF loading:

 $ sudo ./buildperf/perf record -e ./tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c ls
 event syntax error: './tools/perf/tests/bpf-script-example.c'
                      \___ Failed to load program for unknown reason

According to Ubuntu document (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ), the
correct kernel version can be retrived through /proc/version_signature, which
is ubuntu specific.

This patch checks the existance of /proc/version_signature, and returns
version number through parsing this file instead of uname. Version string
is untouched (value returns from uname) because `uname -r` is required
to be consistence with path of kbuild directory in /lib/module.

<title>perf tools: Introduce timestamp__scnprintf_usec()</title>

Joonwoo reported that there's a mismatch between timestamps in script
and sched commands.  This was because of difference in printing the
timestamp.  Factor out the code and share it so that they can be in
sync.  Also I found that sched map has similar problem, fix it too.

Committer notes:

Fixed the max_lat_at bug introduced by Namhyung's original patch, as
pointed out by Joonwoo, and made it a function following the scnprintf()
model, i.e. returning the number of bytes formatted, and receiving as
the first parameter the object from where the data to the formatting is
obtained, renaming it from:

   char *timestamp_in_usec(char *bf, size_t size, u64 timestamp)

to

   int timestamp__scnprintf_usec(u64 timestamp, char *bf, size_t size)

these macros to include linux/time64.h instead, to match how this is

<title>perf tools: Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly</title>

<id>2a1ef032cfccd8c92f32b86615a0b0151a7cd86f</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly. This fix includes two
changes;

 - Fix to use lstat(3) instead of stat(3) since if the target
   file is a symbolic link, rm_rf() should unlink the symbolic
   link itself, not the file which pointed by the symlink.
 - Fix to unlink non-regular files (except for directory),
   including symlink.

Even though the first one fixes to stat symlink itself, without second
fix, it still failed because the symlink is not a regular file.

Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly. This fix includes two
changes;

 - Fix to use lstat(3) instead of stat(3) since if the target
   file is a symbolic link, rm_rf() should unlink the symbolic
   link itself, not the file which pointed by the symlink.
 - Fix to unlink non-regular files (except for directory),
   including symlink.

Even though the first one fixes to stat symlink itself, without second
fix, it still failed because the symlink is not a regular file.

The perf_sample-&gt;ip_callchain-&gt;nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain-&gt;ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So match the kernel support and validate chain-&gt;nr taking into account
both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.

Fix lsdir() to set correct positive error number (ENOMEM).  Since
"errno" must have a positive error number instead of negative number,
fix lsdir to set it correctly.

<title>perf callchain: Recording 'dwarf' callchains do not need DWARF unwinding support</title>

<content type='text'>
There is no need to check for DWARF unwinding support when using the
'dwarf' callchain record method, as this will only ask the kernel to
collect stack dumps for later DWARF CFI processing, which can be done in
another machine, where the support for DWARF unwinding need to be
present.
