perf stat on PPC currently fails to run:
$ perf stat -- sleep 1
Error: open_counter returned with 6 (No such device or address). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
Fatal: Not all events could be opened.
The problem is that until 2.6.37 (behavior changed with commit b0a873e)
perf on PPC returns ENXIO when hw_perf_event_init() fails. With this
patch we get the expected behavior:
$ perf stat -v -- sleep 1
cycles event is not supported by the kernel.

By default, perf stat sets exclude_guest = 1. But when you run perf on a
kernel which does not support host/guest filtering, then you get an
error saying the event in unsupported. This comes from the fact that
when the perf_event_attr struct passed by the user is larger than the
one known to the kernel there is safety check which ensures that all
unknown bits are zero. But here, exclude_guest is 1 (part of the unknown
bits) and thus the perf_event_open() syscall return EINVAL.
To my surprise, running perf record on the same kernel did not exhibit
the problem. The reason is that perf record handles the problem by
catching the error and retrying with guest/host excludes set to zero.
For some reason, this was not done with perf stat. This patch fixes this
problem.

When loading symbols from DSO we check multiple paths of DSO binary
until we succeed to load symbols ('.symtab' section). Once symbols are
read we try to load also plt symbols.
During the reading of plt symbols, the dso file is reopened from
location given by dso->long_name. This could be wrong in case we want
process buildid binaries.
The change is to make the plt symbols being read from the DSO path, that
normal symbols were read from.

If a '$PERF_BUILDID_DIR'(typically $HOME/.debug) is a symbolic link
directory, cutting of the path will fail.
Here is an example where a buildid directory is a symbolic link.
/ # ls -al /root
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 26 2012 /root -> opt/home/root
/ # cd ~
/opt/home/root # perf record -a -g sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.322 MB perf.data (~14057 samples) ]
/opt/home/root # perf archive
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
Now please run:
$ tar xvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
wherever you need to run 'perf report' on.
/opt/home/root # mkdir temp
/opt/home/root # tar xf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ./temp
/opt/home/root # find ./temp -name "*kernel*"
./temp/opt/home/root/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms]
-> If successfully cut off the path, [kernel.kallsyms] is located
in top of the archived file.
This patch enables to cut correctly even if the buildid directory
is a symbolic link.

This routine was checking only if the provided address was after
sym->end, not if it was before sym->start.
Fix that by checking for both and return in both cases -ERANGE, so that
tools can communicate this to the user properly, or if they chose so, to
abort.
This problem was reported previously but the fixes involved either doing
what was being done for the > end case, i.e. silently drop the sample,
returning 0, or aborting at this function, which is in a lib (or better,
is slated to be at some point) and shouldn't abort.
The 'report' tool already checks this value and uses pr_debug to warn
the user.
This patch makes the 'top' tool check it too and warn once per map where
such range problem takes place.

If there's an event with no samples in data file, the perf report
command can segfault after entering the event details menu.
Following steps reproduce the issue:
# ./perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load,syscalls:sys_enter_mmap ls
# ./perf report
# enter '0 syscalls:sys_enter_kexec_load' menu
# pres ENTER twice
Above steps are valid assuming ls wont run kexec.. ;)
The check for sellection to be NULL is missing. The fix makes sure it's
being check. Above steps now endup with menu being displayed allowing
'Exit' as the only option.

When a process exec()'s, all the maps are retired, but we keep the hist
entries around which hold references to those outdated maps.
If the same library gets mapped in for which we have hist entries, a new
map will be created. But when we take a perf entry hit within that map,
we'll find the existing hist entry with the older map.
This causes symbol translations to be done incorrectly. For example,
the perf entry processing will lookup the correct uptodate map entry and
use that to calculate the symbol and DSO relative address. But later
when we update the histogram we'll translate the address using the
outdated map file instead leading to conditions such as out-of-range
offsets in symbol__inc_addr_samples().
Therefore, update the map of the hist_entry dynamically at lookup/
creation time.
