Add -V (--vars) option for listing accessible local variables at given probe
point. This will help finding which local variables are available for event
arguments.
e.g.)
# perf probe -V call_timer_fn:23
Available variables at call_timer_fn:23
@<run_timer_softirq+345>
function_type* fn
int preempt_count
long unsigned int data
struct list_head work_list
struct list_head* head
struct timer_list* timer
struct tvec_base* base

Both python_scripting_ops and perl_scripting_ops have two global definitions.
One in trace-event-scripting.c and one in their respective scripting-engine
modules.
The issue is that depending on the linker order one definition or the other
is chosen. One is uninitialized (bss), while the other is initialized. If
the uninitialized version is chosen, then perf does not function properly.
This patch fixes this by adding the extern prefix to the definitions in
trace-event-scripting.c.

There a typo in util/ui/browsers/hists.c that leads to a segfault when you
press the 'a' key on a non-resolved symbol (plain hex address).

Add a perf script which shows packets processing and processed
time. It helps us to investigate networking or network devices.
If you want to use it, install perf and record perf.data like
following.
If you set script, perf gathers records until it ends.
If not, you must Ctrl-C to stop recording.
And if you want a report from record,
If you use some options, you can limit the output.
Option is below.
tx: show only tx packets processing
rx: show only rx packets processing
dev=: show processing on this device
debug: work with debug mode. It shows buffer status.
For example, if you want to show received packets processing
associated with eth4,
106133.171439sec cpu=0
irq_entry(+0.000msec irq=24:eth4)
|
softirq_entry(+0.006msec)
|
|---netif_receive_skb(+0.010msec skb=f2d15900 len=100)
| |
| skb_copy_datagram_iovec(+0.039msec 10291::10291)
|
napi_poll_exit(+0.022msec eth4)
This perf script helps us to analyze the processing time of a
transmit/receive sequence.

Each histogram entry has a callchain root that stores the
callchain samples. However we forgot to initialize the
tracking of children hits of these roots, which then got
random values on their creation.
The root children hits is multiplied by the minimum percentage
of hits provided by the user, and the result becomes the minimum
hits expected from children branches. If the random value due
to the uninitialization is big enough, then this minimum number
of hits can be huge and eventually filter every children branches.
The end result was invisible callchains. All we need to
fix this is to initialize the children hits of the root.

External shared libraries should never be appended to the LDFLAGS as this
messes the linking order. As EXTLIBS collects those libraries, it seems that
perl and python libraries should also be appended to EXTLIBS.
Also fix the broken linking order.
This is a refresh of a patch by Ozan Çağlayan and improved by both Tom Zanussi
and Kirill A. Shutemov.

When looking at a callchains enabled perf data file one can find it
tiresome to start with all callchains collapsed and then to have to go
one by one expanding them.
So associate 'E' with "Expand all callchains" and 'C' with "Collapse all
callchains".
This way now one can have the top level view and then switch to/from
having all callchains expanded.
More work is needed to allow expanding just from one branch down to its
leaves.
