perf jitdump: DWARF is also needed

While building on a Docker container for ubuntu and installing package

perf jitdump: DWARF is also needed

While building on a Docker container for ubuntu and installing package
by package one ends up with:

MKDIR /tmp/build/util/
CC /tmp/build/util/genelf.o
util/genelf.c:22:19: fatal error: dwarf.h: No such file or directory
#include <dwarf.h>
^
compilation terminated.
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/build/util/.genelf.o.tmp': No such file or directory

Because the jitdump code needs the DWARF related development packages to
be installed. So make it dependent on that so that the build can succeed
without jitdump support.

perf jit: add source line info support

This patch adds source line information support to perf for jitted code.

The source line info must be emitted by the runtime, such as JVMTI.

Perf injects extract the source line info from the jitdump file and adds
the corresponding .debug_lines section in the ELF image generated for
each jitted function.

The source line enables matching any address in the profile with a
source file and line number.

The improvement is visible in perf annotate with the source code
displayed alongside the assembly code.

The dwarf code leverages the support from OProfile which is also
released under GPLv2. Copyright 2007 OProfile authors.

perf inject: Add jitdump mmap injection support

This patch adds a --jit/-j option to perf inject.

This options injects MMAP records into the perf.data file to cover the
jitted code mmaps. It also emits ELF images for each function in the
jidump file. Those images are created where the jitdump file is. The
MMAP records point to that location as well.

Typical flow:

$ perf record -k mono -- java -agentpath:libpjvmti.so java_class
$ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted
$ perf report -i perf.data.jitted

Note that jitdump.h support is not limited to Java, it works with any
jitted environment modified to emit the jitdump file format, include
those where code can be jitted multiple times and moved around.

The jitdump.h format is adapted from the Oprofile project.

The genelf.c (ELF binary generation) depends on MD5 hash encoding for
the buildid. To enable this, libssl-dev must be installed. If not, then
genelf.c defaults to using urandom to generate the buildid, which is not
ideal. The Makefile auto-detects the presence on libssl-dev.

This version mmaps the jitdump file to create a marker MMAP record in
the perf.data file. The marker is used to detect jitdump and cause perf
inject to inject the jitted mmaps and generate ELF images for jitted
functions.

In V8, the following fixes and changes were made among other things:

- the jidump header format include a new flags field to be used
to carry information about the configuration of the runtime agent.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

- Fix mmap pgoff: MMAP event pgoff must be the offset within the ELF file
at which the code resides.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

- Fix ELF virtual addresses: perf tools expect the ELF virtual addresses of dynamic
objects to match the file offset.
Contributed by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>

- JIT MMAP injection does not obey finished_round semantics. JIT MMAP injection injects all
MMAP events in one go, so it does not obey finished_round semantics, so drop the
finished_round events from the output perf.data file.

- Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:

Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.

Simple example:

$ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

1,134,996 cycles

0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat report

Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':

1,134,996 cycles

0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

$

It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:

$ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535
0x12a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_CONFIG
0x16a [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_STAT
-1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
[acme@ssdandy linux]$

An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.

- Make command line options always available, even when they depend
on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
options (Wang Nan)

- Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)

- Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
(Russell King)

- Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read. (Taeung
Song)

- Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)

- Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
Nan)

- BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)

Testing some of these new BPF features:

kernel, at arbitrary place.

- Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
explodes, please tell us!

- Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

E.g:

# perf report | grep -v ^# | head
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
|
---cpu_startup_entry
|
|--12.07%--start_secondary
|
--6.30%--rest_init
start_kernel
x86_64_start_reservations
x86_64_start_kernel
#

Becomes, in "folded" mode:

# perf report -g folded | grep -v ^# | head -5
18.37% 0.00% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cpu_startup_entry
12.07% cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
6.30% cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

New features:

- Allow using trace events fields as sort order keys, making 'perf evlist --trace_fields'
show those, and then the user can select a subset and use like:

perf top -e sched:sched_switch -s prev_comm,next_comm

That works as well in 'perf report' when handling files containing
tracepoints.

The default when just tracepoint events are found in a perf.data file is to
format it like ftrace, using the libtraceevent formatters, plugins, etc (Namhyung Kim)

- Add support in 'perf script' to process 'perf stat record' generated files,
culminating in a python perf script that calculates CPI (Cycles per
Instruction) (Jiri Olsa)

- Show random perf tool tips in the 'perf report' bottom line (Namhyung Kim)

- perf report now defaults to --group if the perf.data file has grouped events, try it with:

# perf record -e '{cycles,instructions}' -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.093 MB perf.data (1247 samples) ]
# perf report
# Samples: 1K of event 'anon group { cycles, instructions }'
# Event count (approx.): 1955219195
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol

User visible fixes:

- Coect data mmaps so that the DWARF unwinder can handle usecases needing them,
like softice (Jiri Olsa)

- Decay callchains in fractal mode, fixing up cases where 'perf top -g' would
show entries with more than 100% (Namhyung Kim)

Infrastructure changes:

- Sync tools/lib with the lib/ in the kernel sources for find_bit.c and
move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/util/ to tools/lib/ (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- No need to set attr.sample_freq in some 'perf test' entries that only
want to deal with PERF_RECORD_ meta-events, improve a bit error output
for CQM test (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix python binding build, adding some missing object files now required
due to cpumap using find_bit stuff (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- tools/build improvemnts (Jiri Olsa)

- Add more files to cscope/ctags databases (Jiri Olsa)

- Do not show 'trace' in 'perf help' if it is not compiled in (Jiri Olsa)

- Make perf_evlist__open() open evsels with their cpus and threads,
like perf record does, making them consistent (Adrian Hunter)

- Fix pmu snapshot initialization bug (Stephane Eranian)

- Add missing headers in perf's MANIFEST (Wang Nan)

tools lib: Move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/ to tools/{lib,include}/

So that lib/find_bit.c doesn't requires anything inside tools/perf/
