      Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
      
        - Fix segfault when using both the map symtab viewer and annotation
          in the TUI (Namhyung Kim).

        - bitops/hweight were moved from tools/perf/ too tools/include, move
          some leftovers (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      
        - Fix dwarf unwind x86_64 build error (Namhyung Kim)
      
        - Fix __machine__findnew_thread() error path (Namhyung Kim)
      
        - Propagate error code when write(2) failed in 'perf probe' (Namhyung Kim)
      
        - Use dwfl_report_elf() instead of offline in powerpc bits to
          properly handle non prelinked DSOs (Sukadev Bhattiprolu).
      
        - Fix dwarf unwind using libunwind in 'perf test' (Wang Nan)

      perf tools powerpc: Use dwfl_report_elf() instead of offline. · 6bcf9c1f
      Sukadev Bhattiprolu authored
      dwfl_report_offline() works only when libraries are prelinked.
      
      Replace dwfl_report_offline() with dwfl_report_elf() so we correctly
      extract debug info even from libraries that are not prelinked.

      perf tools: Fix segfault for symbol annotation on TUI · 813ccd15
      Namhyung Kim authored
      Currently the symbol structure is allocated with symbol_conf.priv_size
      to carry sideband information like annotation, map browser on TUI and
      sort-by-name tree node.  So retrieving these information from symbol
      needs to care about the details of such placement.
      
      However the annotation code just assumes that the symbol is placed after
      the struct annotation.  But actually there's other info between them.
      So accessing those struct will lead to an undefined behavior (usually a
      crash) after they write their info to the same location.
      
      To reproduce the problem, please follow the steps below:
      
        1. run perf report (TUI of course) with -v option
        2. open map browser (by pressing right arrow key for any entry)
        3. search any function (by pressing '/' key and input whatever..)
        4. return to the hist browser (by pressing 'q' or left arrow key)
        5. open annotation window for the same entry (by pressing 'a' key)

      perf test: Fix dwarf unwind using libunwind. · b93b0967
      Wang Nan authored
      Perf tool fails to unwind user stack if the event raises in a shared
      object. This patch improves tests/dwarf-unwind.c to demonstrate the
      problem by utilizing commonly used glibc function "bsearch". If perf is
      not statically linked, the testcase will try to unwind a mixed call
      trace.
      
      By debugging libunwind I found that there is a bug in unwind-libunwind:
      it always passes 0 as segbase to libunwind, cause libunwind unable to
      locate debug_frame entry fir first level ip address (I add some more
      debugging output into libunwind to make things clear):

                     >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 6d314 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
                     >lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 33d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)

      This patch passes map->start as segbase to dwarf_find_debug_frame(), so
      di will be initialized correctly.
      
      In addition, dso and executable are different when setting segbase. This
      patch first check whether the elf is executable, and pass segbase only
      for shared object.

      This is due to duplicated unistd inclusion (via uClibc headers + kernel headers)
