      perf hists browser: Fix UI bug after fold/unfold · 4fabf3d1
      He Kuang authored 
      In perf hists browser, the fold/unfold stat of each hist entry is
recorded but hb->nr_callchain_rows loses its value after zoom out and
zoom in back. This causes a wrong row cursor range that restrict user to
move down anymore.

This bug can be reproduced as follows:

  $ perf record -g -e syscalls:* ls
  $ perf report

    Available samples
  ================================================================
    2 syscalls:sys_enter_mprotect <= [enter one of the entries]
    2 syscalls:sys_exit_mprotect
    13 syscalls:sys_enter_brk
    ...

In the hists brower, unfold some of the items, now the cursor can reach
to any rows:

    Children      Self  Command  Shared Object          Symbol
  ================================================================
  -  100.00%   100.00%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.33.2.so  [.] lstat64
  - lstat64
       16.67% 0x6469702e64
       8.33% 0x646970
       8.33% 0x617461
       8.33% 0x65
  -   16.67%     0.00%  ls       [unknown]              [.]0x6469702e64
     0x6469702e64 <= [cursor can reach to bottom line, everything is ok]

Now, zoom back to "Available samples" and enter again:

    Children      Self  Command  Shared Object          Symbol
  ================================================================
  -  100.00%   100.00%  ls       libuClibc-0.9.33.2.so  [.] lstat64
  - lstat64
       16.67% 0x6469702e64
       8.33% 0x646970
       8.33% 0x617461 <= [cursor may stop here, can't move down anymore]
       8.33% 0x65
  -   16.67%     0.00%  ls       [unknown]              [.]0x6469702e64
     0x6469702e64

This patch recalculates hb->nr_callchain_rows to fix the bug.

      perf hists browser: Fix UI bug after zoom into thread/dso/symbol · a8cd1f43
      He Kuang authored 
      When zoom into thread/dso/symbol, the fold/unfold stat is cleared in
hists__filter_by_thread/dso/symbol(), but h->nr_rows is not cleared. So
if we toggle fold stat on the unfold entires, nr_entries got a wrong
value.

This bug can be reproduced as follows:

$ perf record -g -e syscalls:sys_enter_open ls
$ perf report

    Children      Self  Command  Shared Object            Symbol
  ================================================================

      _dl_load_shared_library <= [Zoom into thread/dso]
      _dl_get_ready_to_run
      _start
  ...

In the new thread hists, all entries reset to fold, if we unfold the
same entry as we previously unfolded, nr_entries got wrong value, and we
can't move down cursor to bottom row.

                                                         Thread: ls
    Children      Self  Command  Shared Object            Symbol

  -   50.00%     0.00%  ls       ld64.so  [.]  _dl_load_shared_library
      _dl_load_shared_library

      perf build: Fix libbabeltrace detection · 19a9df35
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Following patch added -Werror for feature builds:

  b49f1a4b perf tools: Improve feature test debuggability

and exposed a problem in the libbabeltrace feature build, because it was
including wrong header and gcc couldn't find the used symbol definition.

Adding proper header and keeping the old one as it is needed also
(libbabeltrace quirk).

      perf probe: Allow weak symbols to be probed · e578da3b
      Namhyung Kim authored 
      It currently prevents adding probes in weak symbols.  But there're cases
that given name is an only weak symbol so that we cannot add probe.

  $ perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc.so.6 -a calloc
  Failed to find symbol calloc in /usr/lib/libc-2.21.so
    Error: Failed to add events.

  $ nm /usr/lib/libc.so.6 | grep calloc
  000000000007b1f0 t __calloc
  000000000007b1f0 T __libc_calloc
  000000000007b1f0 W calloc

This change will result in duplicate probes when strong and weak symbols
co-exist in a binary.  But I think it's not a big problem since probes
at the weak symbol will never be hit anyway.

      perf symbols: Allow symbol alias when loading map for symbol name · 680d926a
      Namhyung Kim authored 
      When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it
sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso.

When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one
symbol at given address.  But for finding address from symbol, it'd be
better to keep all names (including aliases).

So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via
symbol_conf.allow_aliases.

      Fix perf probe --line to handle aliased symbols correctly in glibc.

This makes line_range search failing back to address-based alternative
search as same as --add and --vars.

Without this patch;

Note that this actually shows __libc_malloc, since it is the real
instance of malloc. User can use both __libc_malloc and malloc for
--line.

      perf probe: Fix to handle aliased symbols in glibc · 9b118aca
      Masami Hiramatsu authored 
      Fix perf probe to handle aliased symbols correctly in glibc.  In the
glibc, several symbols are defined as an alias of __libc_XXX, e.g.
malloc is an alias of __libc_malloc.

In such cases, dwarf has no subroutine instances of the alias functions
(e.g. no "malloc" instance), but the map has that symbol and its
address.

Thus, if we search the alieased symbol in debuginfo, we always fail to
find it, but it is in the map.

To solve this problem, this fails back to address-based alternative
search, which searches the symbol in the map, translates its address to
alternative (correct) function name by using debuginfo, and retry to
find the alternative function point from debuginfo.

This adds fail-back process to --vars, --lines and --add options. So,
now you can use those on malloc@libc :)

Without this patch;
  -----
  # ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -V malloc
  Failed to find the address of malloc
    Error: Failed to show vars.
  # ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -a "malloc bytes"
  Probe point 'malloc' not found in debuginfo.
    Error: Failed to add events.

With this patch;

  Available variables at malloc

  # ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -a "malloc bytes"
  Added new event:
    probe_libc:malloc    (on malloc in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so with bytes)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

      perf tools: tool->finished_round() doesn't need perf_session · d704ebda
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      It is all about flushing the ordered queue or piping it thru, no need
for a perf_session pointer.

      So that we can simplify the deliver method to pass just:

      perf sched: No need to keep the session around · ae536acf
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We were keeping the session around just because we kept pointers to
struct thread instances, but now we reference count them, so no need
for deferring the perf_session__delete call to after we traverse the
work_list entries.

      perf tools: Reference count struct thread · f3b623b8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      We need to do that to stop accumulating entries in the dead_threads
linked list, i.e. we were keeping references to threads in struct hists
that continue to exist even after a thread exited and was removed from
the machine threads rbtree.

We still keep the dead_threads list, but just for debugging, allowing us
to iterate at any given point over the threads that still are referenced
by things like struct hist_entry.
