The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.
However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.
Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.
Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of
pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.

If symbol_conf.priv_size is not a multiple of "sizeof(u64)" we'll bus
error on sparc64 in symbol__new because the "struct symbol *" pointer
is computed by adding symbol_conf.priv_size to the memory allocated.
We cannot isolate the fix to symbol__new and symbol__delete since the
private area is computed by subtracting the priv_size value from a
"struct symbol" pointer, so then the private area can still be
potentially unaligned.
So, simply align the symbol_conf.priv_size value in symbol__init()

We have to deal with the TUI mode in perf top, so that we don't end up
with a garbled screen when, say, a non root user on a machine with a

Introduce a ui__warning_paranoid() routine shared by top and record that

Perf can't currently trace into the vsyscall page. It looks like it was
meant to work.
Tested on 2.6.38 and today's -git.
The bug is easy to reproduce. Compile this:
int main()
{
int i;
struct timespec t;
for(i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t);
return 0;
}
and run it through perf record; perf report. The top entry shows
"[unknown]" and you can't zoom in.
It looks like there are two issues. The first is a that a test for user
mode executing in kernel space is backwards. (That's the first hunk
below). The second (I think) is that something's wrong with the code
that generates lots of little struct dso objects for different sections
-- when it runs on vmlinux it results in bogus long_name values which
cause objdump to fail.

Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.
Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such
systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined
from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'.
Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep
versions, gives a usable version number.

Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).
Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.
Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.
Examples (output compressed)
1. trace, default format

The snprintf function returns number of printed characters even if it

will cause segmentation fault.
It's reproduced by following command:

{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];\
for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`
Attached patch is adding SNPRINTF macro that provides the overflow check
and returns actuall number of printed characters.

kallsyms has a virtual file name [kernel.kallsyms]. Currently, it can't
be added to buildid cache successfully because the code
(build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real
absolute pathname and that fails.
Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms].
So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.

Currently, if a test causes constant output but never reaches a
boot prompt, or crashes, the test will never stop. Add STOP_TEST_AFTER
to create a variable that will stop (and fail) the test after it has run
for this amount of time. The default is 10 minutes. Setting this
variable to -1 will disable it.

Record the console of tests to both the console and the log.
Also, record the bug reports afte the test has completed.
Currently, if a kernel bug happens while running the userland
test, the test stops and will not record the kernel bug. This
makes it difficult to solve what happened.

The config STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is the number of seconds to continue
the test when a failure is detected. This lets the monitor record
more data to the logs and console that may be helpful in solving
the bug that was found.
But the test had a bug. If the failure caused multiple
"Call Trace" stack dumps, the start time to compare the
STOP_AFTER_FAILURE would constantly be reset. Only update the start
time at the first "Call Trace" instance.

Add the config option BISECT_FILES that allows the user to
specify what path in the kernel to run the git bisect on.

If a during a git bisect, ktest fails on something other than
what it is testing (if BISECT_TYPE is test but it fails on build),
if BISECT_SKIP is set, then it will do a "git bisect skip" instead
of just failing the bisect and letting the user find a good commit
to test.

For both git bisect and config bisect, if BISECT_MANUAL is set to 1,
then bisect will stop between iterations and ask the user for the
result. The actual result is ignored. This makes it possible to
use ktest.pl for bisecting configs and git and let the user examine
the results themselves and enter their own results.

When bisecting, one may come across a kernel that does not have
make oldnoconfig. In this case, we need to run the command "yes"
into a make oldconfig. This will select defaults instead of 'n'
into each command, but it works as a work around.
Note, "yes n" will not work because a config may have a value that
"n" is not acceptable for.

Currently we just look for a Call Trace to start the time out
when to reboot the box. But if the kernel panics and does not
show a Call Trace, the test will not reboot the box after
the specified timeout.

If the test fails and a logfile was specified. Print the name to
let the user know where to look for more information on the
failure.

When multiple events were used in 'perf record', allow the user to
choose which one is wanted before showing the per event histograms.
Annotations will be performed on the chosen event.
Allow going back and forth from event to event quickly using just the
arrow keys and enter.

By creating an perf_evlist out of the attributes in the perf.data file
header, so that we can use evlists and evsels when reading recorded
sessions in addition to when we record sessions.
More work is needed to allow tools to allow the user to select which
events are wanted when browsing sessions, be it just one or a subset of
them, aggregated or showed at the same time but with different
indications on the UI to allow seeing workloads thru different views at
the same time.
But the overall goal/trend is to more uniformly use evsels and evlists.

The previous situation was to receive an fd from where to read the event
ID.
Spin off a routine for when we have the ID handy, not having to read it
from some fd.
