perf tools: Add on_exit implementation

on_exit() is only available in new versions of glibc.
It is not implemented in Bionic and will lead to linking errors when
compiling for Android.

Implement a wrapper for on_exit using atexit.

The implementation for on_exit is the one sent by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316. The configuration part from the Makefile
is different than the one from the original patch.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

Error: unknown option `hell'

usage: perf trace <PID>

-p, --pid <pid> trace events on existing process id

--cpu <cpu> list of cpus to monitor
--no-inherit child tasks do not inherit counters
--mmap-pages <n> number of mmap data pages
--uid <user> user to profile

[acme@sandy linux]$

Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'.

It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too!

In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have
a:
-o filename

Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be
used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report,
etc).

It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the
previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner:

"Announcing a new utility: 'trace'"
http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/

Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments
of that LWN article.

perf tools: Back [vdso] DSO with real data

Storing data for VDSO shared object, because we need it for the post
unwind processing.

The VDSO shared object is same for all process on a running system, so
it makes no difference when we store it inside the tracer - perf.

When [vdso] map memory is hit, we retrieve [vdso] DSO image and store it
into temporary file.

During the build-id processing phase, the [vdso] DSO image is stored in
build-id db, and build-id reference is made inside perf.data. The
build-id vdso file object is called '[vdso]'. We don't use temporary
file name which gets removed when record is finished.

During report phase the vdso build-id object is treated as any other
build-id DSO object.

Adding following API for vdso object:

bool is_vdso_map(const char *filename)
- returns true if the filename matches vdso map name

struct dso *vdso__dso_findnew(struct list_head *head)
- find/create proper vdso DSO object

vdso__exit(void)
- removes temporary VDSO image if there's any

This change makes backtrace dwarf post unwind possible from [vdso] maps.

Following output is current report of [vdso] sample dwarf backtrace:

# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .............................
#
99.52% ex [vdso] [.] 0x00007fff3ace89af

perf is currently including magic.h directly from the kernel. If the

Only two constants from magic.h are used by perf (DEBUGFS_MAGIC and
SYSFS_MAGIC). This fix provides a wrapper for magic.h that includes only
these constants instead of including the kernel header file directly.

perf hists: Introduce perf_hpp for hist period printing

Current hist print functions are messy because it has to consider many
of command line options and the code doing that is scattered around to
places. So when someone wants to add an option to manipulate the hist
output it'd very easy to miss to update all of them in sync. And things
getting worse as more options/features are added continuously.

So I'd like to refactor them using hpp formats and move common code to
ui/hist.c in order to make it easy to maintain and to add new features.

perf tools: add NO_BACKTRACE for application self-debugging

perf has support for self-debugging by defining dump_stack function.
This function uses backtrace and backtrace_symbols functions defined as

In Android, bionic does not offer support for these functions and
compilation will fail with the following error:

Add a compile-time option (NO_BACKTRACE) to enable or disable
self-debugging functionality in perf. This can also help in debugging
since it offers the possibility to turn on/off printing the backtrace.

perf tools: Fix x86 builds with ARCH specified on the command line

e.g., compiling i386 on x86_64 using:
$ make -C tools/perf ARCH=i386

fails with:

CC /tmp/pbuild/util/evsel.o
In file included from util/evsel.c:21:0:
util/perf_regs.h:5:23: fatal error: perf_regs.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Adding V=1 you see that the include argument for the arch is
'-Iarch/i386/include' is wrong. It is supposed to be -Iarch/x86/include
per the redefinition of ARCH in the Makefile.

According to the make manual,
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Override-Directive:
"If a variable has been set with a command argument (see Overriding
Variables), then ordinary assignments in the makefile are ignored. If
you want to set the variable in the makefile even though it was set
with a command argument, you can use an override directive ..."

Make it so.
