perf session: Sort all events if ordered_samples=true

Now that we have timestamps on FORK, EXIT, COMM, MMAP events we can
sort everything in time order. This fixes the following observed
problem:

mmap(file1) -> pagefault() -> munmap(file1)
mmap(file2) -> pagefault() -> munmap(file2)

Resulted in decoding both pagefaults in file2 because the file1 map
was already replaced by the file2 map when the map address was
identical.

With all events sorted we decode both pagefaults correctly.

First column is the cpu and the second the timestamp.

That way we can investigate problems in the event stream.

If the new perf binary is run on an older kernel, it will disable this feature
automatically.

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.

perf session: Keep file mmaped instead of malloc/memcpy

Profiling perf with perf revealed that a large part of the processing time is
spent in malloc/memcpy/free in the sample ordering code. That code copies the
data from the mmap into malloc'ed memory. That's silly. We can keep the mmap
and just store the pointer in the queuing data structure. For 64 bit this is
not a problem as we map the whole file anyway. On 32bit we keep 8 maps around
and unmap the oldest before mmaping the next chunk of the file.

perf_session__create_kernel_maps where the kmap structure is located, just
after the vmlinux_maps.

Make it also check if the kernel maps were actually created, which may not
be the case if, for instance, perf_session__new can't complete due to
permission problems in, for instance, a 'perf report' case, when a
segfault will take place, that is how this was noticed.

The problem was introduced in d65a458, thus post .35.

This also adds code to release guest machines as them are also created
in perf_session__create_kernel_maps, so should be deleted on this newly
introduced counterpart, perf_session__destroy_kernel_maps.

perf session: fix error message on failure to open perf.data

If we cannot open our data file, print strerror(errno) for a more
comprehensible error message; and only suggest 'perf record' on ENOENT.

perf session: fix error message on failure to open perf.data

If we cannot open our data file, print strerror(errno) for a more
comprehensible error message; and only suggest 'perf record' on ENOENT.

In particular, this fixes the nonsensical advice when:

% sudo perf record sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.009 MB perf.data (~381 samples) ]
% perf trace
failed to open file: perf.data (try 'perf record' first)

perf session: Remove threads from tree on PERF_RECORD_EXIT

Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that
are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them.

perf session: Remove threads from tree on PERF_RECORD_EXIT

Move them to a session->dead_threads list just like we do with maps that
are replaced, because we may have hist_entries pointing to them.

This fixes a bug when inserting maps for a new thread that reused the
TID, mixing maps for two different threads, causing an endless loop.

The code for insering maps should be made more robust but for .35 this
is the minimalistic patch.
