We'll also have to fix the argument ordering in different arches,
probably having multiple syscall_fmt entries with each possible order
and then use perf_evsel__env_arch() (if dealing with a perf.data file)
or the current system info, for live sessions.

So that we make sure we have recent enough defines for things
such as 'perf trace' system call argument beautifiers.

For instance, the 'clone' syscall argument 'flag' needs to use
CLONE_NEWCGROUP, and that is not available in RHEL7.

All callers now can use syscall__arg_val(arg, idx), be it to iterate
thru the syscall arguments while taking into account alignment, or to
get values for other arguments that affect how the current argument
should be formatted (think of fcntl's 'cmd' and 'arg' arguments).

Previously we only used the syscall_fmt when we had sc->tp_format set,
i.e. when we found the (enter, exit) pair in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

But we really only need to use what is in sc->arg_fmt to apply the arg
beautifiers to the syscall argument values, so do it.

With this we will be able to provide formatters to the "clone" syscall,
which doesn't have entries in tracefs/events/syscalls/.

At least "clone" doesn't have (enter, exit) entries tracefs/events/syscalls/,

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo-4.13-20170718' 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:

User visible changes:

- Initial support for namespaces, using setns to access files in
  namespaces, grabbing their build-ids, etc. We still need to work
  more to deal with namespaces that vanish before we can get the
  needed data to do analysis, but this should be as good as what is
  in bcc now (Krister Johansen)

- Add header record types to pipe-mode, now this command:

  $ perf record -o - -e cycles sleep 1 | perf report --stdio --header

  Will show the same as in non-pipe mode, i.e. involving a perf.data
  file (David Carrillo-Cisneros)

- Implement a visual marker for fused x86 instructions in the annotate
  TUI browser, available now in 'perf report', more work needed to have
  it available as well in 'perf top' (Jin Yao)

  Further explanation from one of Jin's patches:

       │   ┌──cmpl   $0x0,argp_program_version_hook
 81.93 │   ├──je     20
       │   │  lock   cmpxchg %esi,0x38a9a4(%rip)
       │   │↓ jne    29
       │   │↓ jmp    43
 11.47 │20:└─→cmpxch %esi,0x38a999(%rip)

  That means the cmpl+je is a fused instruction pair and they should be
  considered together.

- Record the branch type and then show statistics and info about
  in callchain entries (Jin Yao)

  Example from one of Jin's patches:

  # perf record -g -j any,save_type
  # perf report --branch-history --stdio --no-children

             __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)
             __random random.c:295 (RET CROSS_2M cycles:9)

- Beautify the fcntl syscall, which is an interesting one in the sense
  that infrastructure had to be put in place to change the formatters of
  some arguments according to the value in a previous one, i.e. cmd
  dictates how arg and the syscall return will be formatted.

The root cause of the bug is that the following commit:

  487f05e1 ("perf/core: Optimize event rescheduling on active contexts")

erronously assumed that event's 'pinned' setting determines whether the
event belongs to a pinned group or not, but in fact, it's the group
leader's pinned state that matters.

This was discovered by Vince in the test case described above, where two instruction
counters are grouped, the group leader is pinned, but the other event is not;
in the regressed case the counters were off by 33% (the difference between events'
periods), but should be the same within the error margin.

Fix the problem by looking at the group leader's pinning.

The branch info such as predicted/cycles/... are printed at the
callchain entries.

For example: perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio

    --1.07%--main div.c:39 (predicted:52.4% cycles:1 iterations:17)
              main div.c:44 (predicted:52.4% cycles:1)

              __random random.c:295 (cycles:1)

But the current code is difficult to maintain and extend. This patch
refactors the code for easy maintenance.

Change log:

v6: 1. Put the multiline condition code into {} brackets in
       counts_str_build()

    2. Keep the original display order, that is:
       predicted, abort, cycles, iterations

v5: It's a new patch in v5 patch series.

Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction
and using the branch type for filtering. The patch just records
the branch type in perf_branch_entry.

Before recording, the patch converts the x86 branch type to
common branch type.

Change log:

v10: Set the branch_map array to be static. The previous version
     has it on stack then makes the compiler to create it every
     time when the function gets called.

v9: Use __ffs() to find first bit in type in common_branch_type().
    It lets the code be clear.

v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.

v7: Just convert following x86 branch types to common branch types.

X86_BR_CALL      -> PERF_BR_CALL
X86_BR_RET       -> PERF_BR_RET
X86_BR_JCC       -> PERF_BR_COND
X86_BR_JMP       -> PERF_BR_UNCOND
X86_BR_IND_CALL  -> PERF_BR_IND_CALL
X86_BR_ZERO_CALL -> PERF_BR_CALL
X86_BR_IND_JMP   -> PERF_BR_IND
X86_BR_SYSCALL   -> PERF_BR_SYSCALL
X86_BR_SYSRET    -> PERF_BR_SYSRET

Others are set to PERF_BR_NONE

v6: Not changed.

v5: Just fix the merge error. No other update.

v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:

1. Uses a lookup table to convert x86 branch type to common branch
   type.

2. Move the JCC forward/JCC backward and cross page computing to
   user space.

3. Initialize branch type to 0 in intel_pmu_lbr_read_32 and
   intel_pmu_lbr_read_64

It is often useful to know the branch types while analyzing branch data.
For example, a call is very different from a conditional branch.

Currently we have to look it up in binary while the binary may later not
be available and even the binary is available but user has to take some
time. It is very useful for user to check it directly in perf report.

Perf already has support for disassembling the branch instruction to get
the x86 branch type.

To keep consistent on kernel and userspace and make the classification
more common, the patch adds the common branch type classification
in perf_event.h.

The patch only defines a minimum but most common set of branch types.

PERF_BR_UNKNOWN         : unknown
PERF_BR_COND            ：conditional
PERF_BR_UNCOND          : unconditional
PERF_BR_IND             : indirect
PERF_BR_CALL            : function call
PERF_BR_IND_CALL        : indirect function call
PERF_BR_RET             : function return
PERF_BR_SYSCALL         : syscall
PERF_BR_SYSRET          : syscall return
PERF_BR_COND_CALL       : conditional function call
PERF_BR_COND_RET        : conditional function return

The patch also adds a new field type (4 bits) in perf_branch_entry
to record the branch type.

Since the disassembling of branch instruction needs some overhead,
a new PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_TYPE_SAVE is introduced to indicate if it
needs to disassemble the branch instruction and record the branch
type.

Change log:

v10: Not changed.

v9: Not changed.

v8: Change PERF_BR_NONE to PERF_BR_UNKNOWN.
    No other change.

v7: Just keep the most common branch types.
    Others are removed.

v6: Not changed.

v5: Not changed. The v5 patch series just change the userspace.

v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:

1. Remove the PERF_BR_JCC_FWD/PERF_BR_JCC_BWD, they will be
   computed later in userspace.

2. Remove the "cross" field in perf_branch_entry. The cross page
   computing will be done later in userspace.

There are three FEAT_OP* macros:
  - FEAT_OPA: for features without process record.
  - FEAT_OPP: for features with process record.
  - FEAT_OPF: like FEAT_OPP but to show only if show_full_info flags
    is set.

To add pipe-mode headers we need yet another variation of the macros
(one to specify whether a feature generates an auxiliar record).

Instead, we redefine macros so that:
  - show_full_info is specified as an argument (to remove the
  FEAT_OPF variation) and,
  - it always sets "process" handler (to remove the FEAT_OPA variation).
  Individual process handlers can be NULLed individually.

This allows to define two variations only:
  - FEAT_OPR: synthesizes auxiliar event record.
  - FEAT_OPN: doesn't synthesize an auxiliar event record.

Extend struct feat_fd to use a temporal buffer in pipe-mode, instead of
perf.data's file descriptor.

The header features build_id and aux_trace already have logic to print
in file-mode that heavily rely on lseek the file. For now, leave such
features inactive in pipe-mode and print a warning if their functions
are called in pipe-mode.

In pipe-mode, we will operate over a buffer instead of a file descriptor
but write_pmu_mappings uses lseek to move over the perf.data file.

Refactor write_pmu_mappings to avoid the usage of lseek and allow
reusing the same logic in pipe-mode (next patch).

Make buf in helper function "writen" constant to simplify the life of
its callers.

This requires to hack a cast of buf prior to passing it to "ion" which
is simpler than the alternative of reworking the "ion" function to
provide a read and a write paths, the latter with constant buf argument.

Do not proceed if write_padded() error failed.

Also, add comments to remind that the return value of write_* functions
in util/header.c is an errno code and not the number of bytes written.

Simplify code by adding a macro to handle the common case of processing
header features that are a simple string.

Most callers of readn() in perf header read either a 32 or a 64 bits
number, error check it and swap it, if necessary.

Create do_read_u32 and do_read_u64 to simplify these use cases.

Currently perf supports a mode to query inline stack. It works well for
finding user space inline functions but it doesn't work for kernel ones,
due to some unnecessary check.

This patch removes these unnecessary checks. Now kernel inline functions
can be reported.

For example:

  perf report --inline -g func --stdio

  |--46.19%--do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page
  |          do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page (inline)
  |          __do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page (inline)
  |          __SetPageUptodate (inline)
  |          __set_bit (inline)

  The result is compared with the output of addr2line. They match.

Removing syscall_fmt::err_msg and instead always formatting negative
returns as errno values.

With this we can remove a lot of entries that have no special handling
besides the ones we can do by looking at the tracefs format files, i.e.
the types for the fields (e.g. pid_t), well known names (e.g. fd).
