perf evlist: Add API to pause/resume

2016-05-23T21:22:00+00:00

perf_evlist__toggle_{pause,resume}() are introduced to pause/resume
events in an evlist. Utilize PERF_EVENT_IOC_PAUSE_OUTPUT ioctl.

Following commits use them to ensure overwrite ring buffer is paused
before reading.

perf report: Add srcline_from/to branch sort keys

2016-05-23T14:25:16+00:00

Add "srcline_from" and "srcline_to" branch sort keys that allow to show
the source lines of a branch.

That makes it much easier to track down where particular branches happen
in the program, for example to examine branch mispredictions, or to
associate it with cycle counts:

  % perf record -b -e cycles:p ./tcall
  % perf report --sort srcline_from,srcline_to,mispredict

perf evsel: Record fd into perf_mmap

2016-05-20T17:56:58+00:00

Add a fd field into struct perf_mmap so that perf can track the mmap fd.

This feature will be used for toggling overwrite ring buffers.

perf evsel: Add overwrite attribute and check write_backward

2016-05-20T17:54:23+00:00

Add 'overwrite' attribute to evsel to mark whether this event is
overwritable. The following commits will support syntax like:

  # perf record -e cycles/overwrite/ ...

An overwritable evsel requires kernel support for the
perf_event_attr.write_backward ring buffer feature.

Add it to perf_missing_feature.

2016-05-20T17:37:43+00:00

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

- We should not use the current value of the kernel.perf_event_max_stack as the
  default value for --max-stack in tools that can process perf.data files, they
  will only match if that sysctl wasn't changed from its default value at the
  time the perf.data file was recorded, fix it.

  This fixes a bug where a 'perf record -a --call-graph dwarf ; perf report'
  produces a glibc invalid free backtrace (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Provide a better warning when running 'perf trace' on a system where the
  kernel.kptr_restrict is set to 1, similar to the one produced by 'perf record',
  noticed on ubuntu 16.04 where this is the default kptr_restrict setting.
  (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix ordering of instructions in the annotation code, noticed when annotating
  ARM binaries, now that table is auto-ordered at first use, to avoid more such
  problems (Chris Ryder)

- Set buildid dir under symfs when --symfs is provided (He Kuang)

- Fix the 'exit_group()' syscall output in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Only auto set call-graph to "dwarf" in 'perf trace' when syscalls are being
  traced (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

perf tools: Set buildid dir under symfs when --symfs is provided

2016-05-20T14:43:58+00:00

This patch moves the reference of buildid dir to 'symfs/.debug' and
skips the local buildid dir when '--symfs' is given, so that every
single file opened by perf is relative to symfs directory now.

Currently the list of instructions recognised by perf annotate has to be
