the one where more samples were taken.
It will be at the center of the screen and later TAB/shift-TAB will

When annotating multiple entries, for instance, when running simply as:
$ perf annotate
the right and left keys, as well as TAB can be used to cycle thru the
multiple symbols being annotated.
If one doesn't like TUI annotate, disable it by editing ~/.perfconfig
and adding:
[tui]
annotate = off
Just like it is possible for report.

Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.
Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.
The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

In cbbc79a we introduced support for multiple events by introducing a
new "event_stat_id" struct and then made several perf_session methods
receive a point to it instead of a pointer to perf_session, and kept the
event_stats and hists rb_tree in perf_session.
While working on the new newt based browser, I realised that it would be
better to introduce a new class, "hists" (short for "histograms"),
renaming the "event_stat_id" struct and the perf_session methods that
were really "hists" methods, as they manipulate only struct hists
members, not touching anything in the other perf_session members.
Other optimizations, such as calculating the maximum lenght of a symbol
name present in an hists instance will be possible as we add them,
avoiding a re-traversal just for finding that information.
The rationale for the name "hists" to replace "event_stat_id" is that we
may have multiple sets of hists for the same event_stat id, as, for
instance, the 'perf diff' tool has, so event stat id is not what
characterizes what this struct and the functions that manipulate it do.

The first hit for an entry, the one that calls malloc to create a new

Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:
perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.
Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

That will be in both struct hist_entry and struct

(map, symbol) in the trees where hist_entries and

Before this patch we would not find a vmlinux, then try to pass
objdump "[kernel.kallsyms]" as the filename, it would get
confused and produce no output:
[root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
------------------------------------------------
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms]
------------------------------------------------
Now we check that and emit meaningful warning:
[root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
path: [0] vmlinux

This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for
vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux
file.
v2: Print the warning just for the first symbol found when no
symbol name is specified, otherwise it will spam the screen
repeating the warning for each symbol.

The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump
addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look:
For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS
output is something like this:
000004ac <my_strlen>:
int my_strlen(const char *s)
4ac: 55 push %ebp
4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
{
i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there.
For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry
can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs,
e.g.
08048604 <zz_strlen>:
extern "C"
int zz_strlen(const char *s)
8048604: 55 push %ebp
8048605: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
8048607: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
{
So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll
have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for
ET_DYN cases.
(*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for
adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym()
Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN
dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was
empty.
The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from
non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is
wrong.
To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to
objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and
unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to
understand it.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation
from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for
the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement
matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem
here.
Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for
the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when
loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first
creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO
store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on
one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to
process IP sample events:
int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the
global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all
this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like
annotate and report can further process the event by creating
hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs,
etc).
It in turn uses the new next layer function:
void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode,
enum map_type type, u64 addr,
struct addr_location *al,
symbol_filter_t filter)
This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread
one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE
too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into
account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all
these details in the addr_location given.
Tools that need a more compact API for plain function
resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one:
struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr,
symbol_filter_t filter)
So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool
needs, its just a matter of calling:
sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL);
The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy
parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms.
With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is
always good, huh? :-)

util/process_event.[ch] were not being used at all, then started
looking if there were other functions that could be shared
and...
All those functions really don't need to receive offset + head,
the only thing they did was common to all of them, so do it at
one place instead.
Stats about number of each type of event processed now is done

Making the routines that were so far specific to the kernel maps
useful for all threads.
This is done by making the kernel maps be contained in a kernel
"thread".
This gets the kernel specific routines closer to the userspace
counterparts, which will help in reducing the boilerplate for
resolving a symbol, as will be demonstrated in the next patches.

And also express its configuration toggles via a struct.
Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the
defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the
desired configuration.
If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel
and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init()
first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the
subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.
