On s390, the vmexit event has a tree-like structure: between
exit_event_begin and exit_event_end several other events may happen and
with each of them refining the previous ones.
This patch adds a decoder for such events to the generic code and also
the files <asm/kvm_perf.h> and kvm-stat.c for s390.
Commands 'perf kvm stat record', 'report' and 'live' are supported.

Current code skips output of the x86 specific HLT event in order to
avoid flooding the output with enabled --duration option. The events to
be skipped should be architecture dependent, though.
Let's add an architecture specific array of events to be skipped and
introduce a skip_event() function checking against that array.

Parts of a 'perf kvm stat' code make sense only for x86.
Let's move this code into the arch/x86/kvm-stat.c file and add
util/kvm-stat.h for generic structure definitions.
Add a global array 'kvm_reg_events_ops' for accessing the arch-specific
'kvm_events_ops' from generic code.
Since the several global arrays (i.e. 'kvm_events_tp') have been moved
to arch/*, we can not know their sizes and use them directly in
builtin-kvm.c. This patch fixes that problem by adding trimming NULL
element to each array and changing the behavior of their handlers in
generic code.

The raw_syscalls:sys_enter tracer for instance passes has one argument
named 'arg' which is an array of 6 integers. Right the python scripts
gets only 0 passed as an argument. The reason is that
pevent_read_number() can not handle data types of 48 and returns always
0.
This patch changes this by passing num array as list of nums which fit
the description. As a result python will now see a list named arg which

When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess
entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases
but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine
when the entries are needed.
Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the
return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored.
If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs
in the call-graphs.
Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries
should be ignored when building call-graphs.

The function machine__get_kernel_start_addr() was taking the first symbol
of kallsyms as the start address. This is incorrect in certain cases
where the first symbol is something at 0, while the actual kernel
functions begin at a later point (e.g. 0x80200000).
This patch fixes machine__get_kernel_start_addr() to search for the
symbol "_text" or "_stext", which marks the beginning of kernel mapping.
This was already being done in machine__create_kernel_maps(). Thus, this
patch is just a refactor, to move that code into
machine__get_kernel_start_addr().

When configuring event perf checked a wrong condition that user
specified both of freq (-F) and period (-c) or the event has no
default value. This worked because most of events don't have default
value and only tracepoint events have default of 1 (and it's not
desirable to change it for those events).
However, Andi's downloadable event patch changes the situation so it
cannot change the value for those events. Fix it by allowing override
the default value if user gives one of the options.

Improve error messages of 'perf probe --line' mode.
Currently 'perf probe' shows the "Debuginfo analysis failed" message with
an error code when the given symbol is not found:
-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----
But -2 (-ENOENT) means that the given source line or function was not
found. With this patch, 'perf probe' shows the correct error message:
-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Specified source line is not found.
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----
There is also another debug error code is shown in the same function
after get_real_path(). This removes that too.

Fix an error message when failed to find given address in --vars
mode.
Without this fix, perf probe -V doesn't show the final "Error"
message if it fails to find given source line. Moreover, it
tells it fails to find "variables" instead of the source line.
-----
# perf probe -V foo@bar
Failed to find variables at foo@bar (0)
-----
The result also shows mysterious error code. Actually the error
returns 0 or -ENOENT means that it just fails to find the address
of given source line. (0 means there is no matching address,
and -ENOENT means there is an entry(DIE) but it has no instance,
e.g. an empty inlined function)
This fixes it to show what happened and the final error message
as below.
-----
# perf probe -V foo@bar
Failed to find the address of foo@bar
Error: Failed to show vars.

In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a
particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data
address.
One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique
cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting
them can reveal cache contention.
This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group
entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it.
The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine
if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared.
The alogortithm is as follows:
o group cpumodes together
o group entries with discovered maps together
o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers
o if userspace anon, then sort on pid
o sort on cachelines based on data addresses
The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'.
Sample output:
#
# Samples: 206 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp'
# Total weight : 2534
# Sort order : dcacheline,pid
#
# Overhead Samples Data Cacheline Command: Pid

Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column

With the Sebastian's change of handling num array argument (of raw
syscall enter), the script still failed to work like this:
$ perf record -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1
$ perf script -g python
$ perf script -s perf-script.py
...
Traceback (most recent call last):

(id, args),
TypeError: %u format: a number is required, not list
Fatal Python error: problem in Python trace event handler

This is because the generated script tries to print the array arg as
unsigned integer (%u). Since the python seems to convert arguments to
strings by default, just using %s solved the problem for me.

Coming in v3.16, trace events will be able to save bitmasks in raw
format in the ring buffer and output it with the __get_bitmask() macro.
In order for userspace tools to parse this, it must be able to handle
the __get_bitmask() call and be able to convert the data that's in
the ring buffer into a nice bitmask format. The output is similar to
what the kernel uses to print bitmasks, with a comma separator every
4 bytes (8 characters).
This allows for cpumasks to also be saved efficiently.
The first user is the thermal:thermal_power_limit event which has the
following output:
thermal_power_limit: cpus=0000000f freq=1900000 cdev_state=0 power=5252

Fix perf probe to find correct variable DIE which has location or
external instance by tracking down the lexical blocks.
Current die_find_variable() expects that the all variable DIEs
which has DW_TAG_variable have a location. However, since recent
dwarf information may have declaration variable DIEs at the
entry of function (subprogram), die_find_variable() returns it.
To solve this problem, it must track down the DIE tree to find
a DIE which has an actual location or a reference for external
instance.
e.g. finding a DIE which origin is <0xdc73>;
<1><11496>: Abbrev Number: 95 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<11497> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc42>
<1149b> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x1850
[...]
<2><114cc>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this is a declaration
<114cd> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73>
<2><114d1>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable)
[...]
<3><115a7>: Abbrev Number: 105 (DW_TAG_lexical_block)
<115a8> DW_AT_ranges : 0xaa0
<4><115ac>: Abbrev Number: 96 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this has a location
<115ad> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73>
<115b1> DW_AT_location : 0x486c (location list)

Fix a segfault bug by asking for variable it doesn't find.
Since the convert_variable() didn't handle error code returned
from convert_variable_location(), it just passed an incomplete
variable field and then a segfault was occurred when formatting
the field.
This fixes that bug by handling success code correctly in
convert_variable(). Other callers of convert_variable_location()
are correctly checking the return code.
This bug was introduced by following commit. But another hidden
erroneous error handling has been there previously (-ENOMEM case).

After output/sort fields refactoring, it's expensive
to check the elide bool in its current location inside
the 'struct sort_entry'.
The perf_hpp__should_skip function gets highly noticable in
workloads with high number of output/sort fields, like for:
$ perf report -i perf-test.data -F overhead,sample,period,comm,pid,dso,symbol,cpu --stdio
Performance report:
9.70% perf [.] perf_hpp__should_skip
Moving the elide bool into the 'struct perf_hpp_fmt', which
makes the perf_hpp__should_skip just single struct read.
Got speedup of around 22% for my test perf.data workload.
The change should not harm any other workload types.

To do that, add new HPP_PERCENT_ACC_FNS macro and generate a

by accumulated period value. When accumulated periods of two entries
are same (i.e. single path callchain) put the caller above since
accumulation tends to put callers on higher position for obvious
reason.
