Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the
record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g.
$ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i -
In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require
the user to type and remember more than necessary.
This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without
specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe. So the
same command as above can be accomplished more simply as:
$ perf trace rwtop 5
Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case -
they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are
passed along to the report script (but not to the record
script).
The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf
trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the
expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to
'perf trace'.

It should be possible to run any perf trace script in 'live
mode'. This requires being able to pass in e.g. '-i -' or other
args, which the current shell scripts aren't equipped to handle.
In a few cases, there are required or optional args that also
need special handling. This patch makes changes the current set
of shell scripts as necessary.

A couple of scripts, one in Python and the other in Perl, that
demonstrate 'live mode' tracing. For each, the output of the
perf event stream is fed continuously to the script, which
continuously aggregates the data and reports the current results
every 3 seconds, or at the optionally specified interval. After
the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared
and the cycle begins anew.
To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace
record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report'
step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i:
$ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i -
Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and
Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the
screen.

The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
to break it down into component events. The tracing_data event
itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
processing loop in a previous patch.

This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream
to be sent and received over a pipe:
- adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code
- adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code
- adds a range of event types to be used for header or other
pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel
- checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use
to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually
reading them into event objects.
- unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its
users.
Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data
file format or processing - this code only comes into play if
perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.
This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).
I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.

This is a fix to the signed/unsigned field handling in the
Python scripting engine, based on a patch from Roel Kluin.
Basically, Python wants to use a PyInt (which is internally a
long) if it can i.e. if the value will fit into that type. If
not, it stores it into a PyLong, which isn't actually a long,
but an arbitrary-precision integer variable.
The code below is similar to to what Python does internally, and
it seems to work as expected on the x86 and x86_64 sytems I

The newt TUI browser (and other GUIs that may come in the future) don't
have to worry about stdio specific stuff in the strings they get from
the se->snprintf routines and instead use whatever means to do the
equivalent.
Also the newt TUI browser don't have to use the fmemopen() hack, instead
it can use the se->snprintf routines directly. For now tho use the

For when we are processing the events and inserting the entries in the
browser.
Experimentation here: naming "ui_something" we may be treading into
creating a TUI/GUI set of routines that can then be implemented in terms
of multiple backends.
Also the time it takes for adding things to the "browser" takes, visually
(I guess I should do some profiling here ;-) ), more time than for
processing the events...
That means we probably need to create a custom hist_entry browser, so
that we reuse the structures we have in place instead of duplicating
them in newt.
But progress was made and at least we can see something while long files
are being loaded, that must be one of UI 101 bullet points :-)

perf probe outputs incorrect error message when it is called with
non-existent field on a non-data structure local variable.
<Before>
# perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge'
Fatal: Structure on a register is not supported yet.
# perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge'
Fatal: Semantic error: hoge must be referred by '.'
This corrects the messsage.
<After>
# perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge'
Fatal: count is not a data structure.
# perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge'
Fatal: count is not a data structure.

* 'perf-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
powerpc/perf_events: Fix call-graph recording, add perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs
perf top: Add missing initialization to zero
perf probe: Use original address instead of CU-based address
perf probe: Fix offset to allow signed value
perf top: Improve the autosizing of column lenghts
perf probe: Fix need_dwarf flag if lazy matching is used
perf probe: Fix probe_point buffer overrun
Mostly used in symbol.c so move them there to reduce the number
of files needed to use the symbol system.
Also do some header adjustments with the same intent.
