perf annotate: Make output more readable

perf annotate: Make output more readable

This patch adds two new options to perf annotate:
- --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings
- --no-source : Do not interleave source code with assembly code

We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable.

Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and
especially optimized code.

Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range

Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C <comms>.

v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
- Added -c to perf script
- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
- Update documentation

v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,

Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a

perf tools: Improve support for sessions with multiple events

By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded
sessions in addition to when we record sessions.

More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
the same time.

But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

perf record,report,annotate,diff: Process events in order

This patch changes perf report to ask for the ID info on all events be
default if recording from multiple CPUs.

Perf report, annotate and diff will now process the events in order if
the kernel is able to provide timestamps on all events. This ensures
that events such as COMM and MMAP which are necessary to correctly
interpret samples are processed prior to those samples so that they are
attributed correctly.

perf session: Fallback to unordered processing if no sample_id_all

If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for
sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of
events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without
timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In
other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples
correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed.

While processing all events without timestamps before events with
timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as
PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples.
Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would
not be attributed correctly.

This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to
unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps
on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print
out a warning if report -D was invoked.

This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to
test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as
record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

perf session: Parse sample earlier

At perf_session__process_event, so that we reduce the number of lines in eache
tool sample processing routine that now receives a sample_data pointer already
parsed.

This will also be useful in the next patch, where we'll allow sample the
identity fields in MMAP, FORK, EXIT, etc, when it will be possible to see (cpu,
timestamp) just after before every event.

Also validate callchains in perf_session__process_event, i.e. as early as
possible, and keep a counter of the number of events discarded due to invalid
callchains, warning the user about it if it happens.

There is an assumption that was kept that all events have the same sample_type,
that will be dealt with in the future, when this preexisting limitation will be
removed.

Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected

in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.

Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.

The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

perf hist: Introduce hists class and move lots of methods to it

In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.

While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.

Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.

The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.
