In recent versions of perf top, pressing the 'e' key to change the
number of displayed samples had no effect.
The number of samples was still dictated by the size of the terminal
(stdio mode). That was quite annoying because typically only the first
dozen samples really matter.
This patch fixes this.

When a user tries to open so many events, perf_event_open syscall may
fail with EMFILE. Provide advise for that case.

It will be recalculated at __hists__output_resort, to take into account
filters possibly applied by the TUI, etc.
Since we do the percent math only for those entries that will appear on
the TUI instead of for _all_ the entries at decay time, updating it for
each sample makes the entries seem to decay faster when using the
navigation keys (since the screen will be refreshed), as we're not
coalescing the entries that are being batched to be merged at next
resort/decay time, but considering their periods.
Bug introduced in 743eb86.

At first tools were required to do that, but while writing the python
bindings to simplify the API I made them auto-allocate when needed.
This just makes record, stat and top use that auto allocation,
simplifying them a bit.

So that we don't need to have that many globals.
Next steps will remove the 'session' pointer, that in most cases is

Then we can rename perf_event_ops to 'perf_tool' that better describes

In the old --stdio interface the annotation is done just after one
selects a symbol, while in --tui, now the default when the required libs
are installed, we annotate all symbols with samples so that when
annotation is asked we see what happened recently on that symbol.
To achieve that the --stdio variant checks if the hist_entry being
processed is the one selected by the user via the 's' hotkey. What
happens now that we share the hist_entry abstractions with 'perf report'
is that for minimizing locking contention multiple rb_trees are used,
one for collecting the samples and other to browse/show them after
resorting it by number of samples and decay them, which is done
periodically.
So the simple test in record_precise_ip doesn't work as we move
hist_entries between those rb_trees. To fix it just check that the
underlying struct symbol associated with those hist_entries is the same.

Just like the old perf top --tui and the --stdio version.
But because we have the initial menu to choose which event to show in a
session with multiple events we can see how many chunks were lost in
each of the event types, clarifying which events are being affected the
most.

The __perf_evsel__open routing was grouping just the threads for that
specific events per cpu when we want to group all threads in all events
to the first fd opened on that cpu.
So pass the xyarray with the first event, where the other events will be
able to get that first per cpu fd.
At some point top and record will switch to using perf_evlist__open that
takes care of this detail and probably will also handle the fallback
from hw to soft counters, etc.

To disable it either:
1. Make sure newt-devel is not installed when building it
2. Use 'perf top --stdio' just like with report
3. Edit your ~/.perfconfig or system wide config and have this there:
[tui]
top = off
But you shouldn't, since the TUI is so much more powerful, has
integration with annotation and where lots more interesting features
will be developed, so if something annoys you (the colors?) just let me
know and I'll do my best to make it pleasant as a default.

This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':
1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
"KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.
And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:
[root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso
PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs)

All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols,
etc.
The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the
zoom operations, do annotation, etc.
This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as
well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

The 'perf top' tool came from the kernel where we had each DSO (vmlinux,
modules) loaded just once at a time.
But userspace may have DSOs loaded in multiple addresses (shared
libraries), requiring that we use the just resolved map instead of the
first one found.

perf stat doesn't mmap and its perfectly fine for it to use task-bound
counters with inheritance.
So set the attr.inherit on the caller and leave the syscall itself to
validate it.
When the mmap fails perf_evlist__mmap will just emit a warning if this
is the failure reason.

Resend of patch sent back in January 2011 in light of recent confusion around
unsupported events for a given platform.
Improve sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return handling in top and record, just
like 5a3446b does for stat.
Retry of Arnaldo's patch using ui_warning instead of die which allows the
fallback from hardware cycles to software clock.

We have to deal with the TUI mode in perf top, so that we don't end up
with a garbled screen when, say, a non root user on a machine with a
paranoid setting (the default) tries to use 'perf top'.
Introduce a ui__warning_paranoid() routine shared by top and record that
tells the user the valid values for /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

builtin-top.c has an uninitialized variable.
gcc(version 4.5.1) warns about it and it results in build failure:
builtin-top.c: In function 'display_thread':

This situation can indeed trigger, if the getline() call in

While going thru each of the sym_entry fields looking to reduce it to
the set of entries needed when in an active symbols list, 'skip' should
really be in symbol, as we set it when loading the symtab.
And the space used by the basic symbol allocation remains the same as
we had 5 bytes of padding.

So that we can reuse things like the id to attr lookup routine
(perf_evlist__id2evsel) that uses a hash table instead of the linear
lookup done in the older perf_header_attr routines, etc.
Also to make evsels/evlist more pervasive an API, simplyfing using the
emerging perf lib.

Now one has just to press the right key, 'a' or Enter on the main 'perf
top --tui' screen to live annotate the symbol under the cursor.
The annotate window starts centered on the hottest line (the one with
most samples so far) then TAB and shift+TAB can be used to go to the
prev/next hot line.
Pressing 'H' at any point will center again the screen on the hottest
line.

Jeff Moyer reported these messages:
Warning: ... trying to fall back to cpu-clock-ticks
couldn't open /proc/-1/status
couldn't open /proc/-1/maps
[ls output]
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (~363 samples) ]
That lead me and David Ahern to see that something was fishy on the thread
synthesizing routines, at least for the case where the workload is started
from 'perf record', as -1 is the default for target_tid in 'perf record --tid'
parameter, so somehow we were trying to synthesize the PERF_RECORD_MMAP and
PERF_RECORD_COMM events for the thread -1, a bug.
So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for
recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and
that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event
synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of
threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.
Checked in the following ways:
On a 8-way machine run cyclictest:

This will create one extra thread per CPU:
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches

28831 FIFO 94 5 59825 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
So we should expect only samples for the above 9 threads when using the
--dump-raw-trace|-D perf report switch to look at the column with the tid:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
629 28825
110 28826

225 28831
203 28832
89 28833
[root@emilia ~]#
So for workloads started by 'perf record' seems to work, now for existing workloads,
just run cyclictest first, without 'perf record':
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches
pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd
28859 OTHER 0 0xff 594 200 cyclictest

28862 FIFO 97 2 24895 1 cyclictest
28863 FIFO 96 3 19918 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
and then later did:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --pid 28859 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (~1195 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]#
To collect 3 seconds worth of samples for pid 28859 and its children:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
15 28859
33 28860
19 28861
13 28862
13 28863
10 28864
11 28865
9 28866
255 28867
[root@emilia ~]#
Works, last thing is to check if looking at just one of those threads also works:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --tid 28866 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data (~242 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
3 28866
[root@emilia ~]#
Works too.

The live annotation done in 'perf top' needs to limit the context before
lines that aren't filtered out by the min percent filter, if we don't do
that, the screen in a tty often is not enough for showing what is
interesting: lines with hits and a few source code lines before it.

Since we'll need it when implementing the live annotate TUI browser.
This also simplifies things a bit by having the list head for the source
code to be in the dynamicly allocated part of struct annotation, that
way we don't have to pass it around, it can be found from the struct
symbol that is passed everywhere.
