perf tools: Construct LBR call chain
LBR call stack only has user-space callchains. It is output in the
PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_STACK data format. For kernel callchains, it's
still in the form of PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN.
The perf tool has to handle both data sources to construct a
complete callstack.
For the "perf report -D" option, both lbr and fp information will be
displayed.
A new call chain recording option "lbr" is introduced into the perf
tool for LBR call stack. The user can use --call-graph lbr to get
the call stack information from hardware.
Here are some examples.
When profiling bc(1) on Fedora 19:
echo 'scale=2000; 4*a(1)' > cmd; perf record --call-graph lbr bc -l < cmd

perf tools: Enable LBR call stack support
Currently, there are two call chain recording options, fp and dwarf.
Haswell has a new feature that utilizes the existing LBR facility to
record call chains. Kernel side LBR support code provides this as a
third option to record call chains. This patch enables the lbr call
stack support on the tooling side.
LBR call stack has some limitations:
- It reuses current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and branch record
can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
However, it also offers some advantages:
- LBR call stack can work on user apps which don't have frame-pointers
or dwarf debug info compiled. It is a good alternative when nothing
else works.

There is plenty of room to further tighen these restrictions. For
example, this allows rdpmc for any x86_pmu event, but it's only
useful for self-monitoring tasks.
As a side effect, cap_user_rdpmc will now be false for AMD uncore

perf: Decouple unthrottling and rotating
Currently the adjusments made as part of perf_event_task_tick() use the
percpu rotation lists to iterate over any active PMU contexts, but these
are not used by the context rotation code, having been replaced by
separate (per-context) hrtimer callbacks. However, some manipulation of
the rotation lists (i.e. removal of contexts) has remained in
perf_rotate_context(). This leads to the following issues:
* Contexts are not always removed from the rotation lists. Removal of
PMUs which have been placed in rotation lists, but have not been
removed by a hrtimer callback can result in corruption of the rotation
lists (when memory backing the context is freed).
This has been observed to result in hangs when PMU drivers built as
modules are inserted and removed around the creation of events for
said PMUs.
* Contexts which do not require rotation may be removed from the
rotation lists as a result of a hrtimer, and will not be considered by
the unthrottling code in perf_event_task_tick.
This patch fixes the issue by updating the rotation ist when events are
scheduled in/out, ensuring that each rotation list stays in sync with
the HW state. As each event holds a refcount on the module of its PMU,
this ensures that when a PMU module is unloaded none of its CPU contexts
can be in a rotation list. By maintaining a list of perf_event_contexts
rather than perf_event_cpu_contexts, we don't need separate paths to
handle the cpu and task contexts, which also makes the code a little
simpler.
As the rotation_list variables are not used for rotation, these are
renamed to active_ctx_list, which better matches their current function.
perf_pmu_rotate_{start,stop} are renamed to
perf_pmu_ctx_{activate,deactivate}.

perf: Drop module reference on event init failure
When initialising an event, perf_init_event will call try_module_get() to
ensure that the PMU's module cannot be removed for the lifetime of the
event, with __free_event() dropping the reference when the event is
finally destroyed. If something fails after the event has been
initialised, but before the event is installed, perf_event_alloc will
drop the reference on the module.
However, if we fail to initialise an event for some reason (e.g. we ask
an uncore PMU to perform sampling, and it refuses to initialise the
event), we do not drop the refcount. If we try to open such a bogus
event without a precise IDR type, we will loop over each PMU in the pmus
list, incrementing each of their refcounts without decrementing them.
This patch adds a module_put when pmu->event_init(event) fails, ensuring
that the refcounts are balanced in failure cases. As the innards of the
precise and search based initialisation look very similar, this logic is
hoisted out into a new helper function. While the early return for the
failed try_module_get is removed from the search case, this is handled
by the remaining return when ret is not -ENOENT.
