The prior change fixes default output ordering with each column but it
breaks -o/--order option. This patch prepends a new hpp fmt struct to
sort list but not to output field list so that it can affect ordering
without adding a new output column.
The new hpp fmt uses its own compare functions which treats dummy
entries (which have no baseline) little differently - the delta field
can be computed without baseline but others (ratio and wdiff) are not.
The new output will look like below:
$ perf diff -o 2 perf.data.{old,cur,new}
...
# Baseline/0 Delta/1 Delta/2 Shared Object Symbol
# .......... ....... ....... ................. ..........................................
22.98% +0.51% +0.52% libc-2.20.so [.] _int_malloc

+0.01% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] read_tsc
+0.01% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part.82
In above example, the output was sorted by 'Delta/2' column first, and
then 'Baseline/0' and finally 'Delta/1'.

Current perf diff result is somewhat confusing since it sometimes hide
small result and sometimes there's no result. So do not hide small
result (less than 0.01%) and print "N/A" if baseline is not
recorded (for ratio and wdiff only). Blank means the baseline is
available but its pairs are not.

Event parameters are a basic way for partial events to be specified in
sysfs with per-event names given to the fields that need to be filled in
when using a particular event.
It is intended for supporting cases where the single 'cpu' parameter is
insufficient. For example, POWER 8 has events for physical
sockets/cores/cpus that are accessible from with virtual machines. To
keep using the single 'cpu' parameter we'd need to perform a mapping
between Linux's cpus and the physical machine's cpus (in this case Linux
is running under a hypervisor). This isn't possible because bindings
between our cpus and physical cpus may not be fixed, and we probably
won't have a "cpu" on each physical cpu.

This patch modifies perf mem to default to sampling loads and stores
simultaneously. It could only do one or the other before yet there was
no hardware restriction preventing simultaneous collection. With this
patch, one run is sufficient to collect both.
It is still possible to sample only loads or stores by using the
-t option:
$ perf mem -t load rec
$ perf mem -t load rep
Or
$ perf mem -t store rec
$ perf mem -t store rep
The perf report TUI will show one event at a time. The store output will
contain a Weight column which will be empty.
In V2, we updated the man pages to reflect the change and also simplify
the initialization of the argv vector passed to the cmd_*() functions as
per LKML feedback.
In V3, we fixed typos in the changelog.

The commit dfef99cd0b ("perf probe: Use ref_reloc_sym based address
instead of the symbol name") converts kprobes to use ref_reloc_sym (i.e.
_stext) and offset instead of using symbol's name directly. So on my
system, adding do_fork ends up with like below:
$ sudo perf probe -v --add do_fork%return
probe-definition(0): do_fork%return
symbol:do_fork file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
0 arguments
Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/3.17.6-1-ARCH/build/vmlinux for symbols
Could not open debuginfo. Try to use symbols.
Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
Added new event:
Writing event: r:probe/do_fork _stext+456136
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Operation not permitted (Code: -1)
As you can see, the do_fork was translated to _stext+456136. This was
because to support (local) symbols that have same name. But the problem
is that kretprobe requires to be inserted at function start point so it
simply checks whether it's called with offset 0. And if not, it'll
return with -EINVAL. You can see it with dmesg.
$ dmesg | tail -1
[125621.764103] Return probe must be used without offset.
So we need to use the symbol name instead of ref_reloc_sym in case of
return probes.

The find_probe_trace_events_from_map() searches matching symbol from a
map (so from a backing dso). For uprobes, it'll create a new map (and
dso) and loads it using a filter. It's a little bit inefficient in that
it'll read out the symbol table everytime but works well anyway.
For kprobes however, it'll reuse existing kernel map which might be
loaded before. In this case map__load() just returns with no result.
It makes kprobes always failed to find symbol even if it exists in the
map (dso).
To fix it, use map__find_symbol_by_name() instead. It'll load a map
with full symbols and sorts them by name. It needs to search sibing
nodes since there can be multiple (local) symbols with same name.

[ Use symbol__next_by_name ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
When a dso contains multiple symbols which have same name, current
dso__find_symbol_by_name() only finds an one of them and there's no way
to get the all symbols without going through the rbtree.
So make symbols__find_by_name() return the first entry with the given
name and the next patch in this series will provide a way to iterate
from there, by the name ordered rb_tree, till a suitable symbol is
found.
