perf tools: Store the cpu socket and core ids in the perf.data header

This patch stores the cpu socket_id and core_id in a perf.data header,
and reads them into the perf_env struct when processing perf.data files.

The changes modifies the CPU_TOPOLOGY section, making sure it is
backward/forward compatible.

The patch checks the section size before reading the core and socket ids.

It never reads data crossing the section boundary. An old perf binary
without this patch can also correctly read the perf.data from a new perf
with this patch.

Because the new info is added at the end of the cpu_topology section, an
old perf tool ignores the extra data.

Examples:

1. New perf with this patch read perf.data from an old perf without the
patch:

$ perf_new report -i perf_old.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# Core ID and Socket ID information is not available
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29315548 kB
# node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
......

2. Old perf without the patch reads perf.data from a new perf with the
patch:

$ perf_old report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29190932 kB
# node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53
......

3. New perf read new perf.data:

$ perf_new report -i perf_new.data --header-only -I
......
# sibling threads : 33
# sibling threads : 34
# sibling threads : 35
# CPU 0: Core ID 0, Socket ID 0
# CPU 1: Core ID 1, Socket ID 0
......
# CPU 61: Core ID 10, Socket ID 1
# CPU 62: Core ID 11, Socket ID 1
# CPU 63: Core ID 16, Socket ID 1
# node0 meminfo : total = 32823872 kB, free = 29190932 kB
# node0 cpu list : 0-17,36-53

perf tools: Add support for cycles, weight branch_info field

cycles is a new branch_info field available on some CPUs that indicates
the time deltas between branches in the LBR.

Add a sort key and output code for the cycles to allow to display the
basic block cycles individually in perf report.

We also pass in the cycles for weight when LBRs are processed, which
allows to get global and local weight, to get an estimate of the total
cost.

And also print the cycles information for perf report -D. I also added
printing for the previously missing LBR flags (mispredict etc.)

perf session env: Rename exit method

The semantic associated in tools/perf/ with foo__delete(instance) is to
release all resources referenced by 'instance' members and then release
the memory for 'instance' itself.

The perf_session_env__delete() function isn't doing this, it just does
the first part, but the space used by 'instance' itself isn't freed, as
it is embedded in a larger structure, that will be freed at other stage.

For these cases we se foo__exit(), i.e. the usage is:

void foo__delete(foo)
{
if (foo) {
foo__exit(foo);
free(foo);
}
}

But when we have something like:

struct bar {
struct foo foo;
. . .
}

Then we can't really call foo__delete(&bar.foo), we must have this
instead:

void bar__exit(bar)
{
foo__exit(&bar.foo);
/* free other bar-> resources */
}

void bar__delete(bar)
{
if (bar) {
bar__exit(bar);
free(bar);
}
}

So just rename perf_session_env__delete() to perf_session_env__exit().

perf tools: Add time out to force stop proc map processing

System wide sampling like 'perf top' or 'perf record -a' read all
threads /proc/xxx/maps before sampling. If there are any threads which
generating a keeping growing huge maps, perf will do infinite loop
during synthesizing. Nothing will be sampled.

This patch fixes this issue by adding per-thread timeout to force stop
this kind of endless proc map processing.

PERF_RECORD_MISC_PROC_MAP_PARSE_TIME_OUT is introduced to indicate that
the mmap record are truncated by time out. User will get warning
notification when truncated mmap records are detected.

perf tools: Ensure thread-stack is flushed

The thread-stack represents a thread's current stack. When a thread
exits there can still be many functions on the stack e.g. exit() can be
called many levels deep, so all the callers will never return. To get
that information output, the thread-stack must be flushed.

Previously it was assumed the thread-stack would be flushed when the
struct thread was deleted. With thread ref-counting it is no longer
clear when that will be, if ever. So instead explicitly flush all the
thread-stacks at the end of a session.

The bug is in perf_event__attr_swap(). It swaps all fields in 'struct
perf_event_attr' without checking whether the swapped field exist or
not. In addition, in read_event_desc() allocs memory for attr according
to size read from perf.data.

Therefore, if the perf.data is collected by an old perf (without
aux_watermark, for example), when perf_event__attr_swap() swaping
attr->aux_watermark it destroy malloc's metadata.

This patch introduces boundary checking in perf_event__attr_swap(). It
adds macros bswap_field_64 and bswap_field_32 into
perf_event__attr_swap() to make it only swap exist fields.

perf tools: handle PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES

This patch modifies the perf tool to handle the new RECORD type,
PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES.

The number of lost-sample events is stored in
.nr_events[PERF_RECORD_LOST_SAMPLES]. The exact number of samples
which the kernel dropped is stored in total_lost_samples.

When the percentage of dropped samples is greater than 5%, a warning
is printed.

Here are some examples:

Eg 1, Recording different frequently-occurring events is safe with the
patch. Only a very low drop rate is associated with such actions.

$ perf record -e '{cycles:p,instructions:p}' -c 20003 --no-time ~/tchain ~/tchain

$ perf report -D | tail
SAMPLE events: 120243

SAMPLE events: 60895

$ perf report --stdio --group
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
#
# Total Lost Samples: 24
#
# Samples: 120K of event 'anon group { cycles:p, instructions:p }'

0.04% 0.00% tchain_edit [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ixgbe_read_reg

Eg 2, Recording the same thing multiple times can lead to high drop
rate, but it is not a useful configuration.

$ perf record -e '{cycles:p,cycles:p}' -c 20003 --no-time ~/tchain

perf session: Fix perf_session__peek_event()

perf_session__peek_event() generally leverages there being a single mmap
of the perf.data file, however on 32-bit platforms when there is more
that 32MiB of data, then there are multiple mmaps, so
perf_session__peek_event() reads from the file.

In that case a couple of bugs were exposed (note how the seg. fault
appears with >32M of data):

The wrong address was being passed to the readn() function and the

perf tools: Add support for PERF_RECORD_AUX

Add support for the PERF_RECORD_AUX event type.

PERF_RECORD_AUX is a new kernel event that records when new data lands
in the AUX buffer. Currently it is assumed that AUX data follows the
same ring buffer conventions used by the perf events buffer, and
consequently the AUX event is not processed during recording.

It is processed during session processing so that the information in the
'flags' member is made available.

The format of PERF_RECORD_AUX is outlined in the linux/perf_events.h
header file. The 'flags' are also enumerated.

Intel PT and Intel BTS use the flag named PERF_AUX_FLAG_TRUNCATED to
determine if data has been lost because the buffer became full as perf
was not able to empty it fast enough.

perf tools: Add AUX area tracing index

Add an index of AUX area tracing events within a perf.data file.

perf record uses a special user event PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND to
enable sorting of events in chunks instead of having to sort all events
altogether.

AUX area tracing events contain data that can span back to the very
beginning of the recording period. i.e. they do not obey the rules of
PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND.

By adding an index, AUX area tracing events can be found in advance and
the PERF_RECORD_FINISHED_ROUND approach works as usual.

The index is recorded with the auxtrace feature in the perf.data file.
A session reads the index but does not process it. An AUX area decoder
can queue all the AUX area data in advance using
auxtrace_queues__process_index() or otherwise process the index in some
custom manner.

perf session: Add hooks to allow transparent decoding of AUX area tracing data

Hook into session processing so that AUX area decoding can synthesize
events transparently to the tools.

The advantages of transparent decoding are that tools can be used
directly with perf.data files containing AUX area tracing data, which is
easier for the user and more efficient than having a separate decoding
tool.

This will work as follows:

1. Tools will feed auxtrace events to the decoder using
perf_tool->auxtrace() (support for that still to come).

2. The decoder can process side-band events as needed due
to the auxtrace->process_event() hook.

3. The decoder can deliver synthesized events into the
event stream using perf_session__deliver_synth_event().

Note the expectation is that decoding will work on data that is
time-ordered with respect to the per-cpu or per-thread contexts that
were recorded.

perf tools: Add user events for AUX area tracing

Add two user events for AUX area tracing.

PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO contains metadata, consisting primarily the
type of the AUX area tracing data plus some amount of
architecture-specific information. There should be only one
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO event.

PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE identifies AUX area tracing data copied from the
mmapped AUX area tracing region. The actual data is not part of the
event but immediately follows it.

perf kmaps: Check kmaps to make code more robust

This patch add checks in places where map__kmap is used to get kmaps
from struct kmap.

Error messages are added at map__kmap to warn invalid accessing of kmap
(for the case of !map->dso->kernel, kmap(map) does not exists at all).

Also, introduces map__kmaps() to warn uninitialized kmaps.
