Solve the problems around the broken definition of perf_event_mmap_page::
cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc fields which used to overlap, partially
fixed by:
860f085b74e9 ("perf: Fix broken union in 'struct perf_event_mmap_page'")
The problem with the fix (merged in v3.12-rc1 and not yet released
officially), noticed by Vince Weaver is that the new behavior is
not detectable by new user-space, and that due to the reuse of the
field names it's easy to mis-compile a binary if old headers are used
on a new kernel or new headers are used on an old kernel.
To solve all that make this change explicit, detectable and self-contained,
by iterating the ABI the following way:
- Always clear bit 0, and rename it to usrpage->cap_bit0, to at least not
confuse old user-space binaries. RDPMC will be marked as unavailable
to old binaries but that's within the ABI, this is a capability bit.
- Rename bit 1 to ->cap_bit0_is_deprecated and always set it to 1, so new
libraries can reliably detect that bit 0 is deprecated and perma-zero
without having to check the kernel version.
- Use bits 2, 3, 4 for the newly defined, correct functionality:
cap_user_rdpmc : 1, /* The RDPMC instruction can be used to read counts */
cap_user_time : 1, /* The time_* fields are used */
cap_user_time_zero : 1, /* The time_zero field is used */
- Rename all the bitfield names in perf_event.h to be different from the
old names, to make sure it's not possible to mis-compile it
accidentally with old assumptions.
The 'size' field can then be used in the future to add new fields and it
will act as a natural ABI version indicator as well.
Also adjust tools/perf/ userspace for the new definitions, noticed by
Adrian Hunter.

The test uses the newly added cap_usr_time_zero and time_zero of
perf_event_mmap_page. TSC from rdtsc is compared with the time
from 2 perf events. The test passes if the calculated times are
all in the correct order.

Including libio.h causes build failures on uClibc systems (which lack
libio.h).
It appears that libio.h was only included to pull in a definition for
NULL, so it has been replaced by stddef.h.
On powerpc, libio.h was conditionally included, but could be removed
completely as it is unneeded. Also, the included of stdlib.h was changed
to stddef.h (as again, only NULL is needed).

Make perf build for x86 once the UAPI disintegration patches for that arch
have been applied by adding the appropriate -I flags - in the right order -
and then converting some #includes that use ../.. notation to find main kernel
headerfiles to use <asm/foo.h> and <linux/foo.h> instead.
Note that -Iarch/foo/include/uapi is present _before_ -Iarch/foo/include.
This makes sure we get the userspace version of the pt_regs struct. Ideally,
we wouldn't have the latter -I flag at all, but unfortunately we want
asm/svm.h and asm/vmx.h in builtin-kvm.c and these aren't part of the UAPI -
at least not for x86. I wonder if the bits outside of the __KERNEL__ guards
*should* be transferred there.
I note also that perf seems to do its dependency handling manually by listing
all the header files it might want to use in LIB_H in the Makefile. Can this
be changed to use -MD?
Note that to do make this work, we need to export and UAPI disintegrate
linux/hw_breakpoint.h, which I think should've been exported previously so that
perf can access the bits. We have to do this in the same patch to maintain
bisectability.

Arnaldo reported that annotation during perf top resulted in a segfault.
It was because the env->arch was NULL and we don't set it for a live
session. In fact, no need to look up objdump in this case since we can
use system's default (native) objdump.

David reported that perf report for i686 target data on x86_64 host
failed to work because it tried to find out cross-compiled objdump.
However objdump for x86_64 is compatible to i686 so that it doesn't need
to do it at all. To prevent similar artifacts, normalize arch name when
comparing host and file architectures.

This brings the support for DWARF cfi unwinding on perf post
processing. Call frame informations are retrieved and then passed
to libunwind that requests memory and register content from the
applications.
Adding unwind object to handle the user stack backtrace based
on the user register values and user stack dump.
The unwind object access the libunwind via remote interface
and provides to it all the necessary data to unwind the stack.
The unwind interface provides following function:
unwind__get_entries
And callback (specified in above function) to retrieve
the backtrace entries:
typedef int (*unwind_entry_cb_t)(struct unwind_entry *entry,
void *arg);

Several places were expecting that the value returned was the number of
characters printed, not what would be printed if there was space.
Fix it by using the scnprintf and vscnprintf variants we inherited from
the kernel sources.
Some corner cases where the number of printed characters were not
accounted were fixed too.

The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
what was recorded, on what machine and when.
This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format. The
change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.
We define the following useful new extensions:
- HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
- HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
- HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
- HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
- HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
- HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
- HEADER_VERSION: perf version
- HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
- HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
- HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication
The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
ASCII strings.
Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
topology may be requested with the -I option.
Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
this patch.

This requires the functionality represented by the config symbol

compile without it. That functionality is added for PowerPC in commit
359e4284 ("powerpc: Add kprobe-based event tracer").
