Parts of the build process were generating files outside the specified
O= directory, causing the build to fail on systems where the sources are
in a read only file system.
Fix it by using $(OUTPUT) on these locations.
Also check that $(OUTPUT) actually exists, just like the top level
kernel Makefile does. Otherwise the failure message emitted is
completely misleading.

doesn't support unindented nested constructs.
Build fails with:

Moving the tests to a separate file, feature-tests.mak and using a try-cc
function similar to the try-run in Kbuild.
This also makes the output more quiet as we can stop using the INTERMEDIATE
target to remove the .perf.dev.null file needed for some gcc versions where
/dev/null can't be used as the output file name.
As the tests get shorter by uninlining the source code used to test for
features, we can more properly use identation.
The feature tests itself can be made more clear and reused, like when trying to
see what is needed to have bfd_demangle.
We also get a bit closer to reusing scripts/Kbuild.include, reducing the
distance from the kernel build system.

After we use the filters to zoom into DSOs or threads, we can use <-
(left arrow) to zoom out from the last filter applied.
It is still possible to zoom out of order by using the popup menu.
With this we now have the zoom out operation on the browsing fast path,
by allowing fast navigation using just the four arrors and the enter key
to expand collapse callchains.

Now we don't anymore use popen to run 'perf annotate' for the selected
symbol, instead we collect per address samplings when processing samples
in 'perf report' if we're using the newt browser, then we use this data
directly to do annotation.
Done this way we can actually traverse the objdump_line objects
directly, matching the addresses to the collected samples and colouring
them appropriately using lower level slang routines.
The new ui_browser class will be reused for the main, callchain aware,
histogram browser, when it will be made generic and don't assume that
the objects are always instances of the objdump_line class maintained
using list_heads.

For Fedora, I want to force perf to link against libiberty.a for
cplus_demangle, rather than libbfd.a for bfd_demangle due to licensing insanity
on binutils. (libiberty is LGPL2, libbfd is GPL3.)
If we just rely on autodetection, we'll end up with libbfd linked against us,
since they're both in binutils-static in the buildroot.

Currently, perf 'live mode' writes build-ids at the end of the
session, which isn't actually useful for processing live mode events.
What would be better would be to have the build-ids sent before any of
the samples that reference them, which can be done by processing the
event stream and retrieving the build-ids on the first hit. Doing
that in perf-record itself, however, is off-limits.
This patch introduces perf-inject, which does the same job while
leaving perf-record untouched. Normal mode perf still records the
build-ids at the end of the session as it should, but for live mode,
perf-inject can be injected in between the record and report steps
e.g.:
perf record -o - ./hackbench 10 | perf inject -v -b | perf report -v -i -
perf-inject reads a perf-record event stream and repipes it to stdout.
At any point the processing code can inject other events into the
event stream - in this case build-ids (-b option) are read and
injected as needed into the event stream.
Build-ids are just the first user of perf-inject - potentially
anything that needs userspace processing to augment the trace stream
with additional information could make use of this facility.

First an example with the first internal test:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
So it run just one test, that is "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", and it was
successful.
If we run it in verbose mode, we'll see details about errors and extra warnings
for non-fatal problems:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf test -v
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms:
--- start ---
Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
No build_id in vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux, ignoring it
No build_id in /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc4-tip+, ignoring it
Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc4-tip+/build/vmlinux for symbols
Maps only in vmlinux:
ffffffff81cb81b1-ffffffff81e1149b 0 [kernel].init.text
ffffffff81e1149c-ffffffff9fffffff 0 [kernel].exit.text
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0
ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn
ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1
ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2
Maps in vmlinux with a different name in kallsyms:
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff6000ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_0 in kallsyms as [kernel].0
ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_fn in kallsyms as:
*ffffffffff600100-ffffffffff60012f 0 [kernel].2
ffffffffff600400-ffffffffff6007ff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_1 in kallsyms as [kernel].6
ffffffffff600800-ffffffffffffffff 0 [kernel].vsyscall_2 in kallsyms as [kernel].8
Maps only in kallsyms:
ffffffffff600130-ffffffffff6003ff 0 [kernel].4
---- end ----
vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$
In the above case we only know the name of the non contiguous kernel ranges in
the address space when reading the symbol information from the ELF symtab in
vmlinux.
The /proc/kallsyms file lack this, we only notice they are separate because
there are modules after the kernel and after that more kernel functions, so we
need to have a module rbtree backed by the module .ko path to get symtabs in
the vmlinux case.
The tool uses it to match by address to emit appropriate warning, but don't
considers this fatal.
The .init.text and .exit.text ines, of course, aren't in kallsyms, so I left
these cases just as extra info in verbose mode.
The end of the sections also aren't in kallsyms, so we the symbols layer does
another pass and sets the end addresses as the next map start minus one, which
sometimes pads, causing harmless mismatches.
But at least the symbols match, tested it by copying /proc/kallsyms to
/tmp/kallsyms and doing changes to see if they were detected.
This first test also should serve as a first stab at documenting the
symbol library by providing a self contained example that exercises it
together with comments about what is being done.
More tests to check if actions done on a monitored app, like doing mmaps, etc,
makes the kernel generate the expected events should be added next.
