Even though we don't register the counters until the child is right about
to exec(), we're still going to get at least a few events while the
fork()'d child is still executing 'perf' and in particular we're going to
get the MMAP events.
We can't distinguish the ones in the newly executed process because the
PID will be the same.
One way to solve this would be to have a PERF_RECORD_EXEC event, and when
this is seen 'perf' can flush it's map cache. We can't use
PERF_RECORD_COMM since that's generated by other things, not just exec().
Actually, thinking about it some more, using PERF_RECORD_COMM might be a
good enough approximation.

syscall_name() helper, which resolves a syscall arch number to
its name, is not yet available as we first need to implement
event injection for it to work.
Remove it from the documentation or tag its references as
unavailable yet. Once it's implemented, we can just revert
the current patch.

The check-perf-trace script only checks Perl functionality, and
doesn't really need to be listed as as user script anyway.
This only removes the '-report' shell script, so although it doesn't
appear in the listing, the '-record' shell script and the check perf
trace perl script itself is still available and can still be run
manually as such:
$ libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/bin/check-perf-trace-record
$ perf trace -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/check-perf-trace.pl

As the parent comm then is worthless, confusing users about the
thread where the sample really happened, leading to think that
the sample happened in the parent, not where it really happened,
in the children of a thread for which a PERF_RECORD_COMM event
was not received.

cpumode bits are defined as such:
#define PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 0)
#define PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER (2 << 0)
#define PERF_RECORD_MISC_HYPERVISOR (3 << 0)
We need to compare against the complete value of cpumode,
otherwise hypervisor samples get incorrectly attributed as
userspace.

When 'perf record -g' a existing process, even with debuginfo
packages, still cannnot get symbol from 'perf report'.
try:
perf record -g -p `pidof xxx` -f
perf report

The reason is: for existing process, in __cmd_record(),
the pid is 0 rather than the existing process id.

So look for the address exactly at the start of the line instead
so that annotation can work for in these cases.

First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was
fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being
wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no
conversion needed, but in
src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16);
src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff
we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and
then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are
approximately close for small programs.
Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no
matching with real runtime IPs.
And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with
non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address
conversion wrong.
Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does
annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new
helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced.
(*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of
hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's
better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion
at runtime.
I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded
8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos
with small addresses like '4ac')
Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated
IPs, e.g. look at source lines here:
000004ac <my_strlen>:
extern "C"
int my_strlen(const char *s)
4ac: 55 push %ebp
4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
{
int len = 0;
4b2: c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,-0x4(%ebp)
4b9: eb 08 jmp 4c3 <my_strlen+0x17>
while (*s) {
++len;
4bb: 83 45 fc 01 addl $0x1,-0x4(%ebp)
++s;
4bf: 83 45 08 01 addl $0x1,0x8(%ebp)
So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate
lookup code.
