perf bpf: Collect perf_evsel in BPF object files

file(s) and fills 'struct evlist' with them. The previously introduced
dummy event is now removed. After this patch, the following command:
# perf record --event filter.o ls
Can trace on each of the probes defined in filter.o.
The core of this patch is bpf__foreach_tev(), which calls a callback
function for each 'struct probe_trace_event' event for a bpf program
with each associated file descriptors. The add_bpf_event() callback
creates evsels by calling parse_events_add_tracepoint().
Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__foreach_tev() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid build errors.

perf tools: Load eBPF object into kernel
This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all
objects into kernel.
Committer notes:
Testing it:
When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your
eBPF proggie:
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;
For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event
parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user:
# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
libbpf:
libbpf: -- END LOG --
libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'
event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
\___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?

If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+
kernel, the whole process goes thru:

perf tools: Create probe points for BPF programs
This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the
section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event'
is stored into program private data for further using.
By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during
event parsing.
To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so
even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing
points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before
bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger
bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed.
strerror style error reporting scaffold is created by this patch.
bpf__strerror_probe() is the first error reporting function in
bpf-loader.c.
Committer note:

perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event
By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.
After applying this patch, commands like:
# perf record --event foo.o sleep
become possible.
However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the
evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program
attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to
be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list,
this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be
removed when probing and extracting code is ready.

perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf
By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build
libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.
The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.
MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.
Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.
The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.
Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.
tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

$ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits

perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page
Commit:
b20112edeadf ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock")
allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much
as 32. Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift
have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value
32, the type must be u64.
In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps
that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of
granularity so they look like they are not changing at all.
Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly.
Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code
based on it will be more future-proof.

perf bench: Default to all routines in 'perf bench mem'
So few people know that the --routine option to 'perf bench memcpy/memset'
exists, and would not know that it's capable of testing the kernel's
memcpy/memset implementations.
Furthermore, 'perf bench mem all' will not run all routines:
vega:~> perf bench mem all
# Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
Routine default (Default memcpy() provided by glibc)
# Copying 1MB Bytes ...

perf test: Suppress libtraceevent warnings
Currently libtraceevent emits warning on unsupported event formats.
However it'd be better to see them only -v option is given. To do that,
it needs to override the warning() function which is used in the
libtracevent. Thus add set_warning_routine() same as set_die_routine()
and check the verbose flag in our warning routine.
Before:
# perf test 5
5: parse events tests :
Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_get_page] bad op token {
Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_sync_page] bad op token {
Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_unsync_page] bad op token {
Warning: [kvmmmu:kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page] bad op token {
Warning: [kvmmmu:fast_page_fault] function is_writable_pte not defined
...
Ok
After:
# perf test 5
5: parse events tests : Ok

perf test: Silence tracepoint event failures
Currently, when 'perf test' is run by a normal user, it'll fail to
access tracepoint events. The output becomes somewhat messy because it
tries to be nice with long error messages and hints.
IMHO this is not needed for 'perf test' by default and AFAIK 'perf test'
uses pr_debug() rather than pr_err() for such messages so that one can
use -v option to see further details on failed testcases if needed.

User visible changes:
- Use the alternative with the most descriptive filename containing
a vmlinux file for a given build-id, providing a better title line
for tools such as 'annotate'. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Remove help messages about previous right and left arrow keybidings, that
were repurposed for horizontal scrolling. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Inform how to reset the symbol filter in the hists browser. (top & report)
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add 'm' key for context menu display in the hists browser, that became
inacessible with the repurposing of the right arrow key for horizontal
scrolling. (Namhyung Kim)
- Use debug_frame for callchains if eh_frame is unusable. (Rabin Vicent)
Build fixes:
- Fix strict-aliasing breakage with gcc 4.4 in the READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code
adopted from the kernel tree, that builds with -fno-strict-aliasing while
tools/perf/ uses -Wstrict-aliasing=3. (Jiri Olsa)
- Fix unw_word_t pointer casts in code using libunwind for callchains,
fixing the build in at least 32-bit MIPS systems. (Rabin Vicent)
- Work around cross compile build problems related to fixdep. (Jiri Olsa)

tools build: Fix cross compile build
He Kuang the new fixdep tool breaks cross compiling. The reason is it
wouldn't get compiled under host arch, but under cross arch and failed
to run.
We need to add support for host side tools build, meanwhile disabling
fixdep usage for cross arch builds.

linux-next/tools/include/linux/compiler.h:66: error: dereferencing
pointer ‘res.41’ does break strict-aliasing rules
The reason is READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE code we took from kernel sources. They
intentionaly break aliasing rules. While this is ok for kernel because it's
built with -fno-strict-aliasing, it breaks perf which is build with
-Wstrict-aliasing=3.
Using extra __may_alias__ type to allow aliasing in this case.
