We pre-calculate the symbol name length, then after we sort the entries to print, calculate the biggest one and use that for the symbol name width justification, then use the dso->long_name->len to justificate the DSO name, deciding whether using the short or long name depending on how much space we have on the terminal. IOW give as much info to the user as the terminal width allows.

With this we can list the buildids in a perf.data file so that we can pipe them to other, distro specific tools that from the buildids can figure out separate packages (foo-debuginfo) where we can find the matching symtabs so that perf report can do its job.

We need to pass the symbol to the filter so that, for instance, 'perf top' can do filtering and also set the private area it manages, setting the ->map pointer, etc. I found this while running 'perf top' on a machine where hits happened on PLT symbols, where ->map wasn't being set up and segfaults thus happened.

Peter Zijlstra authored
The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to: 1) avoid publishing incomplete data [ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry that is still being written ] 2) guarantee fwd progress [ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to 0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced quiecent states of RCU ] To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation) a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only published when the bottom most writer completes. Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we already deal with nesting due to NMIs. This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ disable/enable ops.

Lockdep events subsystem gathers various locking related events such as a request, release, contention or acquisition of a lock. The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events. Hence this rename.

PPS events must be recorded according to PPS's mode settings. If a process asks for (i.e.) capture-assert events only, when the PPS client calls the pps_event() function to save the current PPS event, we should verify the event type and then discard unwanted ones. Also, without this patch userland processes waiting for a specific PPS event (assert or clear but not both) may be awakened at wrong time.

v3020_mmio_read_bit() always returns 0 when left_shift > 7. v3020_mmio_read_bit()'s return type is (unsigned char). The code returns a value masked by (1 << left_shift) that is casted to the return type. If left_shift is larger than 7, the cast will always result in a 0 return value. The problem was discovered with left_shift = 16, and the included patch corrects the problem. The bug was introduced in the last (Apr 3 2009) commit of the file, kernel versions 2.6.30 and later.
