There are two hunks in this patch that stops probe processing as soon as one
error is found, breaking out of loops, the other fix an error propagation that
should return a negative error number but instead was returning the result of
"ret < 0", which is 1 and thus made several error checks fail because they test
agains < 0.

The problem could be triggered by asking for a variable that was optimized out,
fact that should stop the whole probe processing but instead was segfaulting
while installing broken probes:

[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
 Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.
Add new events:
  probe:perf_mmap      (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
  probe:perf_mmap_1    (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@emilia ~]# perf probe -l
  probe:perf_mmap      (on perf_mmap:55@git/linux/kernel/perf_event.c with user_lock_limit)
  probe:perf_mmap_1    (on perf_mmap:55@git/linux/kernel/perf_event.c with user_lock_limit)
[root@emilia ~]#

After the fix:

[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
 Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.

This commit squashes several commits that remove:

 unnecessary uname calls
 `sh -c'
 BUILT_INS and QUIET_BUILT_IN

    They have no effect, and the `fixup-builtins' and `check-builtins.sh'
    scripts don't even exist.

 RUNTIME_PREFIX

    It's currently never anything but unset, and it's apparently
    only meaningful when Microsoft Windows is the operating system
    (according to the source for git).

 TEST_PROGRAMS
 EXTRA_PROGRAMS
 unused SHELL_PATH_SQ portions
 unused test for V=2
 useless exports

    Only when `V' is undefined (that is, only when the value of `V'
    is empty) is `export V' performed, which just has the effect of
    placing the empty-valued variable `V' in the environment.

    The only other script to make use of `V' is `Documentation/Makefile',
    which only checks whether `V' is undefined (that is, whether the value
    of `V' is empty); hence, the `export V' has no effect whatsoever.

    Similarly, `export QUIET_GEN' is useless because it will only have
    a non-empty value when `V' has an empty-value, and when `V' has
    an empty-value, `QUIET_GEN' is always explicitly set in every
    script in which it is used.

    `DESTDIR' is only ever defined by the user via the environment
    or the command line, both of which are automatically exported
    to sub-make processes. Furthermore, no non-make sub-scripts
    make use of `DESTDIR' as an environment variable.

    No other scripts use `perfexec_instdir'.

 unused QUIET_SUBDIR{0,1}
 TAR and RPMBUILD
 PTHREAD_LIBS
 Maintainer's dist rules and commands
 distclean target
 Test suite coverage testing
 PRINT_DIR and NO_SUBDIR
 `configure' target
 NO_CURL
 @@PERF_VERSION@@ substitution

    Without the sed command, all of the rule's commands can be reduced
    to a single line that copies a file and sets the permissions properly
    in the process.

 `make test' echo line
 template_instdir
 PERF-BUILD-OPTIONS
 double-colon rules

    The use of double-colon rules seems misguided or vestigial git.

Merge branch 'tip/perf/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace into perf/core

This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a
run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its
encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without
their modifiers (u, k, pp).

This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel
struct and uses it to print the final event name.

This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as
libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables.

Show filename which contains a target function with the function name on
"--lines" mode, because perf-probe just shows the first function even if
there are many same-name functions.

Originally adopted by Franck Bui-Huu's patch which shows file name
instead of function name. I've just modified it to show both of function
name and file name, because of completeness of output.

 E.g.)
 $ perf probe -L t_show

      0  static int t_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v)

There is no need to re-initialize the hrtimer every time we start it,
so don't do that (shaves a few cycles). Also, since we know hrtimers
run at a fixed rate (nanoseconds) we can pre-compute the desired
frequency at which they tick. This avoids us having to go through the
whole adaptive frequency feedback logic (shaves another few cycles).

This patch adds support for AMD family 15h core counters. There are
major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr
msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate
now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain
events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to
extend the event scheduling and constraints.

We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets.
This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for
this.

This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.

The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.

Example:

$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

      2,368,667,414  cycles                   test1
      2,369,661,459  cycles
      <not counted>  cycles                   test2

This kernel patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on
container groups (cgroups). This is for use in per-cpu mode only.

The cgroup to monitor is passed as a file descriptor in the pid
argument to the syscall. The file descriptor must be opened to
the cgroup name in the cgroup filesystem. For instance, if the
cgroup name is foo and cgroupfs is mounted in /cgroup, then the
file descriptor is opened to /cgroup/foo. Cgroup mode is
activated by passing PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP in the flags argument
to the syscall.

For instance to measure in cgroup foo on CPU1 assuming
cgroupfs is mounted under /cgroup:

struct perf_event_attr attr;
int cgroup_fd, fd;

cgroup_fd = open("/cgroup/foo", O_RDONLY);
fd = perf_event_open(&attr, cgroup_fd, 1, -1, PERF_FLAG_PID_CGROUP);
close(cgroup_fd);

Make the ::exit method act like ::attach, it is after all very nearly
the same thing.

The bug had no effect on correctness - fixing it is an optimization for
the scheduler. Also, later perf-cgroups patches rely on it.

It was possible to call pmu::start() on an already running event. In
particular this lead so some wreckage as the hrtimer events would
re-initialize active timers.

This was due to throttled events being activated again by scheduling.
Scheduling in a context would add and force start events, resulting in
running events with a possible throttle status. The next tick to hit
that task will then try to unthrottle the event and call ->start() on
an already running event.

Several people have reported spurious unknown NMI
messages on some P4 CPUs.

This patch fixes it by checking for an overflow (negative
counter values) directly, instead of relying on the
P4_CCCR_OVF bit.

The struct_tty associated with a port is now a direct pointer
from within the local private driver info struct. So fix all uses
of it.
