tools lib traceevent: Handle dynamic array's element size properly
Fixing the dynamic array format field parsing.
Currently the event_read_fields function could segfault while parsing
dynamic array other than string type. The reason is the event->pevent
does not need to be set and gets dereferenced unconditionaly.
Also adding proper initialization of field->elementsize based on the
parsed dynamic type.

Sometimes a test is problematic for some reason and one wants to skip it,
for instance:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok
2: detect open syscall event : Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus : Ok
4: read samples using the mmap interface : Ok

Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: function is_writable_pte not defined
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
So now we can use -s/--skip while the problematic tests are being fixed,
allowing us to test all the other entries:

1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok
2: detect open syscall event : Ok

The reason is that the 'pevent' field was added to
perf_scripting_context but it wasn't hooked up with an actual pevent in
either case, so when one of the 'common' fields is accessed (in
util/trace-event-parse.c:get_common_fields()), pevent->events tries to
dereference a NULL pointer.
This sets the pevent field when the scripting context is set up.

perf script: Don't display trace info when invoking scripts
Only display the trace info if using the default event display. When
invoking scripts we assume they have complete control of what's
displayed so we shouldn't unconditionally display the trace info, and
when generating scripts we don't expect to see trace info obscuring the
output message.

perf tools: Reinstate 'signed' field flag for tracepoints
For some reason the libtraceevent tracepoint-parsing code is missing
the FIELD_IS_SIGNED flag-setting code, which causes problems for the
Perl trace event binding at least, since it ends up unable to
recognize negative numbers.
Things like checking for negative return values therefore fail, causing
scripts like rwtop to instead interpret the negative return value as a
large positive value, which in turn get added to e.g. read totals with
insanely invalid results.
So set the FIELD_IS_SIGNED flag for tracepoint events that specify
"signed:1".
Before:
# perf script record rw-by-pid
# perf script report rw-by-pid
On POWER, the 'perf format parsing' test always fails.
Looks like it is because memset() is being passed number of longs rather
than number of bytes. It is interesting that the test always passes on
my x86 box.
With this patch, the test passes on POWER and continues to pass on x86.

perf tests: Check python path on attr and binding test
Current perf test code tries to execute python version 2 in order to
test attributes on perf_event_open syscall. However it's not default
python version anymore a system can have python v3 only or v2 with a
different name (e.g. python2). So if there's no such python interpreter
with the name 'python', the test would fail like this (yes, it's
happened on my new archlinux laptop :).
13: struct perf_event_attr setup :sh: python: command not found
FAILED!
As we can pass name of the python interpreter on make, use it for
the attr test also.

perf python: Fix breakage introduced by the test_attr infrastructure
The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call,
checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept
calls and do the checking.
But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are
linked on the python binding, breaking it:
# perf test -v 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled
---- end ----
Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and
providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only
linked in the python binding.
Now 'perf test' is happy again:
# perf test 15
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok

In this test I made a fake machine and two evsel. Each evsel got 10
samples (so hist entries) - 5 are common and the rests are not. So
after hists__match() both of them will have 5 entries with pair set.
And the second evsel has a collapsed entry so that the total number is 9

hists__link the first entry will have 14 entries - 5 are common (w/

perf hists: Link hist entries before inserting to an output tree
For matching and/or linking hist entries, they need to be sorted by

output trees, so that the entries in the output tree need to be resort
before doing it.
This looks not so good since we have trees for collecting or collapsing
entries before passing them to an output tree and they're already sorted
by the given sort keys. Since we don't need to print anything at the
time of matching/linking, we can use these internal trees directly
instead of bothering with double resort on the output tree.

after resume/init ops call. This caused a regression when the jack
state has been changed during power-down (e.g. in the power save

using the cached value due to no dirty flag, the pin state remains

ftrace: Use only the preempt version of function tracing
The function tracer had two different versions of function tracing.
The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version.
As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion
issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to
do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening
then it would just return without recording.
This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one)
not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the
recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all,
because every function that was traced would think it recursed on
itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag).
Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we
no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption,
set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an
interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit
and happily continue to trace.
As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version,
there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around.
And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing
out on tracing NMI code.
Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the
preempt disable version be the default (and only version).

When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made:
If arch does not support a ftrace feature:
call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls...
If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list
function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits.
then this function calls...
The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to
check for recursion.
Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls
the global list function which calls the ftrace callback
all three of these steps will do a recursion protection.
There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already
did. The recursion that we are protecting against will
go through the same steps again.
To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion
bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current
check, then we know that the check was made by the previous
caller, and we can skip the current check.

ftrace: Add context level recursion bit checking
Currently for recursion checking in the function tracer, ftrace
tests a task_struct bit to determine if the function tracer had
recursed or not. If it has, then it will will return without going
further.
But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit
was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and
think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return.
Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi).
A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the
associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer
after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions
can still be traced.
