When annotating source/disasm lines the perf tools parse the output of
objdump, trying to provide augmented output that allows navigating
jumps, calls, etc.
But when a line output by objdump can't be parsed the annotation code
falls back to just presenting the unparsed line.
When fixing a leak in the 0fb9f2aab7 commit ("perf annotate: Fix
memory leaks in LOCK handling") we failed to take that into account and
instead tried to free one of the data structures that should be freed
only when successfully allocated, oops, segfault.
There was a change in the way the objdump output for lock prefixed
instructions is formatted that lead the relevant parser to fail to grok
it.
At least RHEL7 works ok, but Fedora 20 segfaults.
Fix it by making the ins__delete() destructor work like the most basic
destructor: free().
Namely make it accept a NULL pointer and when handling it just do
nothing.
Further investigation is needed to figure out the nature of the objdump
output change so as to make the parser grok it.

The recent build changes cause perf to not compile for sparc64 since the
arch/sparc64/Build file does not exist:
/home/dahern/kernels/linux.git/tools/build/Makefile.build:40: arch/sparc64/Build: No such file or directory
Fix by converting the sparc64 RAW_ARCH to sparc ARCH -- similar to what
is done for x86_64.

perf evlist: Refcount mmaps
We need to know how many fds are using a perf mmap via
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT, so that we can know when to ditch an mmap,
refcount it.
This commit added 'int refcnt' to struct perf_mmap and the addition makes the
event_copy element no longer 8-byte aligned.
Fix by adding __attribute__((aligned(8))) to the event_copy struct
member.

Commit f6edb53c49 converted the probe to
a CPU wide event first (pid == -1). For kernels that do not support
the PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag the probe fails with EINVAL. Since this
errno is not handled pid is not reset to 0 and the subsequent use of
pid = -1 as an argument brings in an additional failure path if
perf_event_paranoid > 0:
$ perf record -- sleep 1
perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 13 (Permission denied)
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.007 MB /tmp/perf.data (11 samples) ]
Also, ensure the fd of the confirmation check is closed and comment why
pid = -1 is used.
Needs to go to 3.18 stable tree as well.

The perf_event_attr.task bit is to track task (fork and exit) events but
it missed to be set by perf_evsel__config(). While it was not a problem
in practice since setting other bits (comm/mmap) ended up being in same
result, it'd be good to set it explicitly anyway.
The attr->task is to track task related events (fork/exit) only but
other meta events like comm and mmap[2] also needs the task events. So
setting attr->comm and/or attr->mmap causes the kernel emits the task
events anyway. So the attr->task is only meaningful when other bits are
off but I'd like to set it for completeness.

After perf record finishes, it prints file size and number of samples in
the file but this info is wrong since it assumes typical sample size of
24 bytes and divides file size by the value.
However as we post-process recorded samples for build-id, it can show
correct number like below. If build-id post-processing is not requested
just omit the wrong number of samples.

When perf exits with some error it shows the error message with
ui__error() or ui__warning() and then calls ui__exit() during
exit_browser().
On TUI, it then shows a window titled "Fatal Error" to inform user a
last message which might be related with this condition. However it
sometimes contains no message and just annoyes users.
The usual case for this is running perf top as normal user. (And
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid being 1).
