Currently, if we use perf kvm --guestkallsyms --guestmodules report, we
can not get the perf information from perf data file. All sample are
shown as unknown.
Reproducing steps:
# perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules record -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.624 MB perf.data.guest (~27260 samples) ]
# perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules report |grep %
100.00% [guest/6471] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff8164f330
This bug was introduced by 207b57926 (perf kvm: Fix regression with guest machine creation).
In original code, it uses perf_session__find_machine(), it means we deliver symbol to machine
which has the same pid, if no machine found, deliver it to *default* guest. But if we use
perf_session__findnew_machine() here, if no machine was found, new machine with pid will be built
and added. Then the default guest which with pid == 0 will never get a symbol.
And because the new machine initialized here has no kernel map created, the symbol delivered to
it will be marked as "unknown".
This patch here is to revert commit 207b57926 and fix the SEGFAULT bug in another way.
Verification steps:
# ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /home/kallsyms --guestmodules /home/modules record -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.651 MB perf.data.guest (~28437 samples) ]

Add field 'srcline' that displays the source file name and line number
associated with the sample ip. The information displayed is the same as
from addr2line.

Allows a command to have a symbol_filter controlled by the user to skip
certain functions in a backtrace. One example is to allow the user to
reduce repeating patterns like:
do_select core_sys_select sys_select
to just sys_select when dumping callchains, consuming less real estate
on the screen while still conveying the essential message - the process
is in a select call.
This option is leveraged by the upcoming timehist command.

This way we can later delimit a lifecycle for the COMM and map a hist to
a precise COMM:timeslice couple.
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_FORK events that don't have
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME samples can only send 0 value as a timestamp and thus
should overwrite any previous COMM on a given thread because there is no
sensible way to keep track of all the comms lifecycles in a thread
without time informations.

[ Made it cope with PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 ]

When callgraph data was included in the perf data file, it may take a
long time to scan all those data and merge them together especially if
the stored callchains are long and the perf data file itself is large,
like a Gbyte or so.
The callchain stack is currently limited to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127).
This is a large value. Usually the callgraph data that developers are
most interested in are the first few levels, the rests are usually not
looked at.
This patch adds a new --max-stack option to perf-report to limit the
depth of callchain stack data to look at to reduce the time it takes for
perf-report to finish its processing. It trades the presence of trailing
stack information with faster speed.
The following table shows the elapsed time of doing perf-report on a
perf.data file of size 985,531,828 bytes.
