Check if parse_single_tracepoint_event has already asked for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME.
This is kludgy but short term fix for problems introduced by eac23d1c that
broke 'perf script' by having different sample_types when using multiple
tracepoint events when we use a perf binary that tries to use sample_id_all on
an older kernel.
We need to move counter creation to perf_session, support different
sample_types, etc.
Ongoing work on the perf test infrastructure needs this so that we can create
counters to monitor threads generating specific events, etc.

Some are weak functions, others are just markers, etc. They get in the rb tree
with the same addr, so we need to look around to find the symbol with the same
name.
We were looking just at the previous entries with the same addr, look forward
too.

For kallsyms we don't have the symbol address end, so we do an extra pass and
set the symbol end addr as being the start of the next minus one.
But this was being done just after we filtered the symbols of a
particular type (functions, variables), so the symbol end was sometimes
after what it really is.
Fixing up symbol end also was falling apart when we have symbol aliases,
then the end address of all but the last alias was being set to be
before its start.
Fix it up by checking for symbol aliases and making the kallsyms__parse
routine use the next symbol, whatever its type, as the limit for the
previous symbol, passing that end address to the callback.
This was detected by the 'perf test' synthetic paranoid regression
tests, fix it up so that even that case doesn't mislead us.

When listing a whole file or a function which is located at the end,
perf-probe -L output wrongly: "Source file is shorter than expected.".
This is because show_one_line() always consider EOF as an error.
This patch fixes this by not considering EOF as an error when dumping
the trailing lines. Otherwise it's still an error and perf-probe still
outputs its warning.

The actual file used by 'perf probe -L sched.c' is reported in the ouput
of the command.
But it's simply displayed as it has been given to the command (simply
sched.c) which is too ambiguous to be really usefull since several
sched.c files can be found into the same project and we also don't know
which search path has been used.

The symfs argument allows analysis of perf.data file using a locally accessible
filesystem tree with debug symbols - e.g., tree created during image builds,
sshfs mount, loop mounted KVM disk images, USB keys, initrds, etc. Anything
with an OS tree can be analyzed from anywhere without the need to populate a
local data store with build-ids.
Commiter notes:
o Fixed up symfs="/" variants handling.
o prefixed DSO__ORIG_GUEST_KMODULE case with symfs too, avoiding use of files
outside the symfs directory.

If we are running the new perf on an old kernel without support for
sample_id_all, we should fall back to the old unordered processing of
events. If we didn't than we would *always* process events without
timestamps out of order, whether or not we hit a reordering race. In
other words, instead of there being a chance of not attributing samples
correctly, we would guarantee that samples would not be attributed.
While processing all events without timestamps before events with
timestamps may seem like an intuitive solution, it falls down as
PERF_RECORD_EXIT events would also be processed before any samples.
Even with a workaround for that case, samples before/after an exec would
not be attributed correctly.
This patch allows commands to indicate whether they need to fall back to
unordered processing, so that commands that do not care about timestamps
on every event will not be affected. If we do fallback, this will print
out a warning if report -D was invoked.
This patch adds the test in perf_session__new so that we only need to
test once per session. Commands that do not use an event_ops (such as
record and top) can simply pass NULL in it's place.

This was broken since link(2) doesn't dereference symbolic
links. Instead 'filename' becomes a symbolic link to the same file
that 'name' refers to.
This had the bad effect to create dangling symlinks in the case that
even can't be removed with perf-buildid-cache(1).
