      perf_counter tools: Introduce alias member in event_symbol · 74d5b588
      Jaswinder Singh Rajput authored 
      By introducing alias member in event_symbol :

1. duplicate lines are removed, like:
   cpu-cycles and cycles
   branch-instructions and branches
   context-switches and cs
   cpu-migrations and migrations

2. We can also add alias for another events.

Now ./perf list looks like :

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  cpu-cycles OR cycles                     [Hardware event]
  instructions                             [Hardware event]
  cache-references                         [Hardware event]
  cache-misses                             [Hardware event]
  branch-instructions OR branches          [Hardware event]
  branch-misses                            [Hardware event]
  bus-cycles                               [Hardware event]

  cpu-clock                                [Software event]
  task-clock                               [Software event]
  page-faults                              [Software event]
  faults                                   [Software event]
  minor-faults                             [Software event]
  major-faults                             [Software event]
  context-switches OR cs                   [Software event]
  cpu-migrations OR migrations             [Software event]

      perf_counter tools: Define separate declarations for H/W and S/W events · 51e26842
      Jaswinder Singh Rajput authored 
      Define separate declarations for H/W and S/W events to:

 1. Shorten name to save some space so that we can add more members
 2. Fix alignment
 3. Avoid declaring HARDWARE/SOFTWARE again and again.

Removed unused CR(x, y)

      perf_counter tools: Fix vmlinux fallback when running on a different kernel · c1f47b45
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      Lucas De Marchi reported that perf report and perf annotate
displays mismatching profile if a perf.data is analyzed on
an older kernel - even if the correct vmlinux is specified
via the -k option.

The reason is the fallback path in util/symbol.c:dso__load_kernel():

int dso__load_kernel(struct dso *self, const char *vmlinux,
                     symbol_filter_t filter, int verbose)
{
        int err = -1;

        if (vmlinux)
                err = dso__load_vmlinux(self, vmlinux, filter, verbose);

        if (err)
                err = dso__load_kallsyms(self, filter, verbose);

        return err;
}

dso__load_vmlinux() returns negative on error, but on success it
returns the number of symbols loaded - which confuses the function
to load the kallsyms.

This is normally harmless, as reporting is usually performed on the
same kernel that is analyzed - but if there's a mismatch then we
load the wrong kallsyms and create a non-sensical symbol tree.

The fix is to only fall back to kallsyms on errors.
