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.

We cannot limit processing stacks from the current value of the sysctl,
as we may be processing perf.data files, possibly from other machines.
Instead use the old PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH, the sysctl default, that can
be overriden using --max-stack or equivalent.

This means the user can't access /proc/kallsyms, for instance, because
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict is set to 1.
Instead leave the ref_reloc_sym as NULL and code using it will cope.
This allows 'perf trace' to work on such systems for !root, the only
issue would be when trying to resolve kernel symbols, which happens,
for instance, in some libtracevent plugins. A warning for that case
will be provided in the next patch in this series.
Noticed in Ubuntu 16.04, that comes with kptr_restrict=1.

The perf_sample->ip_callchain->nr value includes all the entries in the

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->nr taking into account

When unwinding callchains on a different machine, vdso info should be
available so the unwind process won't be interrupted if address falls
into vdso region. But in most cases, the addresses of sample events are
not in vdso range, the buildid of a zero hit vdso won't be stored into
perf.data.
This patch stores vdso buildid regardless of whether the vdso is hit or

When an IP with an unresolved symbol occurs in the callchain more than
once (ie. recursion), then duplicate symbols can be created because
the callchain nodes are never updated after they are first created.
To fix this issue we call dso__find_symbol whenever we encounter a NULL
symbol, in case we already added a symbol at that IP since we started
traversing the callchain.
This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported when duplicate
IPs are present in the callchain.

The current method for inserting symbols is to use the symbols__insert()
function. However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol
cache. This causes problems in the following scenario:
1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol
2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function
3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't
updated. This is undesired behavior.
The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function,
dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol
cache if necessary.
If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(),
then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

This change introduces a fix to symbols__find, so that it is able to
find symbols of length zero (where start == end).
The current code has the following problem:
- The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols
of length zero.
- The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at
locations where no symbol currently exists.
The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar
to the example below.
1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be
resolved.
2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address
and inserts it into the dso.
3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable
to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved.
4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate
symbol, even though it already did this in step 2.
This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information
is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be
allocated.
The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an
exported database before/after the fix (generated with
scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py)
Ex.
BEFORE THE CHANGE:
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
count
--------

example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown';
