Some parameters of syscall tracepoints named as 'nr', 'event', etc.
When dealing with them, perf convert to ctf meets some problem:
1. If a parameter with name 'nr', it will duplicate syscall's
common field 'nr'. One such syscall is io_submit().
2. If a parameter with name 'event', it is denied to be inserted
because 'event' is a CTF spec keyword[1]. One such syscall is
epoll_ctl.
This patch appends '_dupl_X' suffix to avoid problem 1, prepend a '_'
prefix to avoid problem 2.

For big data files the size of data allocated for stream instance could
get really high. It's needed to flush the data out of the stream once in
a while.
Unfortunately there's no size indication in the stream object, so we
govern the flush based on the number of stored events. Current flush
limit is set ot 100000 events.

Currently we store the data into single data strea/file. The cpu if data
is stored within the event sample. The lttng puts the CPU number that
belongs to the event into the packet context instead into the event.
This patch makes sure that the trace produce by perf does look the same
way. We now use one stream per-CPU. Having it all in one stream
increased the total size of the resulting file. The test went from
416KiB (with perf_cpu event member) to 24MiB due to the required (and
pointless) flush. With the per-cpu streams the total size went up to
588KiB.

The first argument passed to find_probe_point_lazy() should be CU die,
which will be passed to die_walk_lines() when lazy_line matches.
Currently, when we probe with lazy_line pattern to file without function
name, NULL pointer is passed and causes a segment fault.
Can be reproduced as following:
$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
[ 1958.984658] perf[1020]: segfault at 10 ip 00007fc6e10d8c71 sp

After this patch:
$ perf probe -k vmlinux --add='fs/super.c;s->s_count=1;'
Added new event:
probe:_stext (on @fs/super.c)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

When perf probe searched in a debuginfo file and failed, it tried with
an alternative, in function get_alternative_probe_event():
memcpy(tmp, &pev->point, sizeof(*tmp));
memset(&pev->point, 0, sizeof(pev->point));
In this case, it drops the retprobe flag and forgets to set it back in
find_alternative_probe_point(), so the problem occurs.

commit: f3b623b849 ("perf tools: Reference count struct thread")

perf_event__exit_del_thread() releases thread wihout using

machine_remove_thread() instead of using thread__put() directly.

Fix 'perf probe' to track down unnamed union/structure members.
perf probe did not track down the tree of unnamed union/structure
members, since it just failed to find given "name" in a parent
structure/union. To solve this issue, I've introduced 2 changes.
- Fix die_find_member() to track down the type-DIE if it is
unnamed, and if it contains the specified member, returns the
unnamed member.
(note that we don't return found member, since unnamed member
has the offset in the parent structure)
- Fix convert_variable_fields() to track down the unnamed union/
structure (one-by-one).
With this patch, perf probe can access unnamed fields:
-----
#./perf probe -nfx ./perf lock__delete ops 'locked_ops=ops->locked.ops'
Added new event:
probe_perf:lock__delete (on lock__delete in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf with ops locked_ops=ops->locked.ops)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:lock__delete -aR sleep 1

As these can be obtained from the ordered_events pointer, via
container_of, reducing the cross section of ordered_samples.
These were added to ordered_samples in:
commit b7b61cbebd
Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Mar 3 11:58:45 2015 -0300
perf ordered_events: Shorten function signatures
By keeping pointers to machines, evlist and tool in ordered_events.
But that was more a transitional patch while moving stuff out from
perf_session.c to ordered_events.c and possibly not even needed by then,
as we could use the container_of() method and instead of having the
nr_unordered_samples stats in events_stats, we can have it in
ordered_samples.

Even when it is not used to actually reorder events, some of its fields
are used, like session->ordered_events->tool, to shorten function
signatures where tool, for instance, was being passed, as the tool is
needed for the ordered_events code, we need it there and might as well
use it for other perf_session needs.
This fixes a problem where 'perf script' had some condition that made
session->ordered_events not to be initialized even with its
script->tool ordered_events related flags asking for it to be, which
looks like another bug and needs to be investigated further.
Always initializing session->ordered_events at least leaves the current
assumptions in place, so do it now.

Rather than parsing /proc/pid/status file one line at a time, read it
into a buffer in one shot and search for all strings in one pass.
tgid conversion also simplified -- removing the isspace walk. As noted
by Arnaldo those are not needed for atoi == strtol calls.

As this commit breaks callchains on s390x (symbols not getting resolved,

must be kept when iterating over all ips, otherwise the default

Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel
symtab, 'perf top' would show:
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────┐
│The vmlinux file can't be used. │
│Kernel samples will not be resolved.│
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
Now, it reports:
# perf top --vmlinux /dev/null
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│The /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF file│
│Kernel samples will not be resolved. │
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able
to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a
dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like
string with a short reason for the error while loading.
That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.

To deal with forwarding the strerror_r (GNU) return we need to check if
the returned value is the buffer we passed or maybe some constant
