Adding TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN and TRACE_REG_PERF_CLOSE to differentiate
register/unregister from open/close actions.
The register/unregister actions are invoked for the first/last
tracepoint user when opening/closing the event.
The open/close actions are invoked for each tracepoint user when
opening/closing the event.

Adding a way to temporarily enable/disable ftrace_ops. The change
follows the same way as 'global' ftrace_ops are done.
Introducing 2 global ftrace_ops - control_ops and ftrace_control_list
which take over all ftrace_ops registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL
flag. In addition new per cpu flag called 'disabled' is also added to
ftrace_ops to provide the control information for each cpu.
When ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL is registered, it is
set as disabled for all cpus.
The ftrace_control_list contains all the registered 'control' ftrace_ops.
The control_ops provides function which iterates ftrace_control_list
and does the check for 'disabled' flag on current cpu.
Adding 3 inline functions:
ftrace_function_local_disable/ftrace_function_local_enable
- enable/disable the ftrace_ops on current cpu
ftrace_function_local_disabled
- get disabled ftrace_ops::disabled value for current cpu

If more than one __print_*() function is used in a tracepoint
(__print_flags(), __print_symbols(), etc), then the temp seq buffer will
not be zero on entry. Using the temp seq buffer's length to know if
data has been printed or not in the current function is incorrect and
may produce incorrect results.
Currently, no in-tree tracepoint causes this bug, but new ones may
be created.

If __print_flags() is used after another __print_*() function, the
temp seq_file buffer will not be empty on entry, and the delimiter will
be printed even though there's just one field. We get something like:
|S
instead of just:
S
This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine
if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when
the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed
because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.

Added is a new static inline function that lets *any* tracepoint be used
inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. And this also solves the problem where
the same tracepoint may be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section as well
as outside of one.
I added a new tracepoint function with a "_rcuidle" extension. All
tracepoints can be used with either the normal "trace_foobar()"
function, or the "trace_foobar_rcuidle()" function when inside a
rcu_idle_exit() section.
All tracepoints defined by TRACE_EVENT() or any of the derivatives
will have a "_rcuidle()" function also defined. When a tracepoint is
used within an rcu_idle_exit() section, the "_rcuidle()" version must
be used. This denotes that the tracepoint is within rcu_idle_exit()
and it allows the rcu read locks within the tracepoint to still
be valid, as this version takes us out of rcu_idle_exit().
Another nice aspect about this patch is that "static inline"s are not
compiled into text when not used. So only the tracepoints that actually
use the _rcuidle() version will have them defined in the actual text
that is booted.

The current version of perf detects whether or not the perf.data file is
written in a different endianness using the attr_size field in the
header of the file. This field represents sizeof(struct perf_event_attr)
as known to perf record. If the sizes do not match, then perf tries the
byte-swapped version. If they match, then the tool assumes a different
endianness.
The issue with the approach is that it assumes the size of
perf_event_attr always has to match between perf record and perf report.
However, the kernel perf_event ABI is extensible. New fields can be
added to struct perf_event_attr. Consequently, it is not possible to use
attr_size to detect endianness.
This patch takes another approach by using the magic number written at
the beginning of the perf.data file to detect endianness. The magic
number is an eight-byte signature. It's primary purpose is to identify
(signature) a perf.data file. But it could also be used to encode the
endianness.
The patch introduces a new value for this signature. The key difference
is that the signature is written differently in the file depending on
the endianness. Thus, by comparing the signature from the file with the
tool's own signature it is possible to detect endianness. The new
signature is "PERFILE2".
Backward compatiblity with existing perf.data file is ensured.

Stephane Eranian reported that doing a scheduler latency
measurements with perf on AMD doesn't work out as expected due
to the fact that the sched_clock() granularity is too coarse,
i.e. done in jiffies due to the sched_clock_stable not set,
which, if set, would mean that we get to use the TSC as sample
source which would give us much higher precision.
However, there's no reason not to set sched_clock_stable on AMD
because all families from F10h and upwards do have an invariant
TSC and have the CPUID flag to prove (CPUID_8000_0007_EDX[8]).
Make it so, #1.

This patch fixes an issue where perf report shows nan% for certain
perf.data files. The below is from a report for a do_fork probe:

-nan% packagekitd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% dbus-daemon [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
A git bisect shows commit f3bda2c as the cause. However, looking back
through the git history, I saw commit 640c03c which seems to have
removed the required initialization for perf_sample->period. The problem
only started showing after commit f3bda2c. The below patch re-introduces
the initialization and it fixes the problem for me.
With the below patch, for the same perf.data:

8.97% 11-dhclient [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
6.41% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
3.85% 20-chrony [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork

In some perf ancient versions we used '[kernel.kallsyms._text]' as the
name for the kernel map.
This got changed with commit:
perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host
commit a1645ce12a
Author: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com>
and we started to use following name '[kernel.kallsyms]_text'.
This name change is important for the report code dealing with ancient
perf data. When processing the kernel map event, we need to recognize
the old naming (dont match the last ']') and initialize the kernel map
correctly.
The subsequent call to maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym deals with the
superfluous ']' to get correct symbol name.

With the new throttling/unthrottling code introduced with
commit:
e050e3f0a7 ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling")
we occasionally hit two WARN_ON_ONCE() checks in:
- intel_pmu_pebs_enable()
- intel_pmu_lbr_enable()
- x86_pmu_start()
The assertions are no longer problematic. There is a valid
path where they can trigger but it is harmless.
The assertion can be triggered with:
$ perf record -e instructions:pp ....
Leading to paths:
intel_pmu_pebs_enable
intel_pmu_enable_event
x86_perf_event_set_period
x86_pmu_start
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context
perf_event_task_tick
scheduler_tick
And:
intel_pmu_lbr_enable
intel_pmu_enable_event
x86_perf_event_set_period
x86_pmu_start
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.
perf_event_task_tick
scheduler_tick
cpuc->enabled is always on because when we get to
perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context() the PMU is not totally
disabled. Furthermore when we need to adjust a period,
we only stop the event we need to change and not the
entire PMU. Thus, when we re-enable, cpuc->enabled is
already set. Note that when we stop the event, both
pebs and lbr are stopped if necessary (and possible).
