      perf tools: Fix module symbol loading bug · 508c4d08
      Mike Galbraith authored
      Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
      requested function was not annotated.
      
      If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
      scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
      dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
      of what we've already loaded.
      
      Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
      Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
      hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

      Chris Malley reported that 'perf sched record' sometimes
      crashes his box with:

      The problem is that the box has no lapic enabled:
      
        [    0.042445] Local APIC not detected. Using dummy APIC emulation.
      
      The below seems like the best fix. We disabled all lapic bits, except
      the self-IPI-resend logic.

      PERF_EVENT_FORK always outputs the time field, so update the header
      to reflect this.

      perf_event, powerpc: Fix compilation after big perf_counter rename · a8f90e90
      Paul Mackerras authored
      This fixes two places in the powerpc perf_event (perf_counter) code
      where 'list_entry' needs to be changed to 'group_entry', but were
      missed in commit 65abc865 ("perf_counter: Rename list_entry ->
      group_entry, counter_list -> group_list").
      
      This also changes 'event' back to 'counter' in a couple of
      contexts:
      
      * Field and function names that deal with the limited-function
        counters: it's really the hardware counters whose function is
        limited, not the events that they count.  Hence:
      
        MAX_LIMITED_HWEVENTS -> MAX_LIMITED_HWCOUNTERS
        limited_event -> limited_counter
        freeze/thaw_limited_events -> freeze/thaw_limited_counters
      
      * The machine-specific PMU description struct (struct power_pmu): this
        renames 'n_event' back to 'n_counter' since it really describes how
        many hardware counters the machine has.  (Renaming this back avoids
        a compile error in each of the machine-specific PMU back-ends where
        they initialize their power_pmu struct.)
