ae93880244 perf python: Support the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event
To test it check tools/perf/python/twatch.py, after following the
instructions there to enable context_switch, output looks like:

1b85337d06 tools lib api: Adopt fdarray class from perf's evlist
The extensible file description array that grew in the perf_evlist class
can be useful for other tools, as it is not something that only evlists
need, so move it to tools/lib/api/fd to ease sharing it.

v2: Don't use {} like in:

 libapi_dirs:
	$(QUIET_MKDIR)mkdir -p $(OUTPUT){fs,fd}/

in Makefiles, as it will not work in some systems, as in ubuntu13.10.

v3: Add fd/*.[ch] to LIBAPIKFS_SOURCES (Fix from Jiri Olsa)

v4: Leave the fcntl(fd, O_NONBLOCK) in the evlist layer, remains to
    be checked if it is really needed there, but has no place in the
    fdarray class (Fix from Jiri Olsa)

v5: Remove evlist details from fdarray grow/filter tests. Improve it a
    bit doing more tests about expected internal state.

8afb4c018e perf tools: Re-implement debug print function for linking python/perf.so
The python/perf.so python binding links a subset of objects.

Re-implement 'verbose' and 'eprintf' so they (and consequently
'pr_debug') can be used in objects linked into pythin/perf.so.

Note 'eprintf' must be re-implemented because the full version links the
browser ui.

0c6332e9d8 perf python: Fix breakage introduced by the test_attr infrastructure
The test_attr infrastructure hooks on the sys_perf_event_open call,
checking if a variable is set and if so calling a function to intercept
calls and do the checking.

But both the variable and the function aren't on objects that are
linked on the python binding, breaking it:

  # perf test -v 15
  15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       :
  --- start ---
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled
  ---- end ----
  Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  #

Fix it by moving the variable to one of the linked object files and
providing a stub for the function in the python.o object, that is only
linked in the python binding.

Now 'perf test' is happy again:

  # perf test 15
  15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       : Ok

0da2e9c248 perf python: Initialize 'page_size' variable
The commit 0c1fe6b:

 'perf tools: Have the page size value available for all tools'

Broke the python binding because the global variable 'page_size' is
initialized on the main() routine, that is not called when using
just the python binding, causing evlist.mmap() to fail because it
expects that variable to be initialized to the system's page size.

Fix it by initializing it on the binding init routine.

1d037ca164 perf tools: Use __maybe_used for unused variables
perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored

__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.

The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

Just like was done for parse_events__set_leader.

Also we need to have the list_entry set_leader method in evlist.c so that we

And also remove a pr_debug from evsel.c so that we avoid this one too:

6a4bb04caa perf tools: Enable grouping logic for parsed events
This patch adds a functionality that allows to create event groups
based on the way they are specified on the command line. Adding
functionality to the '{}' group syntax introduced in earlier patch.

The current '--group/-g' option behaviour remains intact. If you
specify it for record/stat/top command, all the specified events
become members of a single group with the first event as a group
leader.

With the new '{}' group syntax you can create group like:
  # perf record -e '{cycles,faults}' ls

resulting in single event group containing 'cycles' and 'faults'
events, with cycles event as group leader.

All groups are created with regards to threads and cpus. Thus
recording an event group within a 2 threads on server with
4 CPUs will create 8 separate groups.

Examples (first event in brackets is group leader):

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock},{minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 1 group (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock -e minor-faults,major-faults ls
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults}' ls

  # 2 groups (cpu-clock,task-clock) (minor-faults,major-faults)
  perf record -e '{cpu-clock,task-clock} -e '{minor-faults,major-faults}' \
   -e instructions ls

  # 1 group
  # (cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions)
  perf record --group -e cpu-clock,task-clock \
   -e minor-faults,major-faults -e instructions ls perf record -e
'{cpu-clock,task-clock,minor-faults,major-faults,instructions}' ls

It's possible to use standard event modifier for a group, which spans
over all events in the group and updates each event modifier settings,
for example:

  # perf record -r '{faults:k,cache-references}:p'

resulting in ':kp' modifier being used for 'faults' and ':p' modifier
being used for 'cache-references' event.

cb0b29e086 perf evlist: Introduce perf_evlist__parse_sample
That is a more compact form of perf_session__parse_sample and to support
multiple evlists per perf_session is the way to go anyway.

bde09467b5 perf evsel: Precalculate the sample size
So that we don't have to store it in the perf_session instance, because
in the future perf_session instances may have multiple evlists, each
with different sample_type/sizes.

0d37aa34f8 perf tools: Introduce per user view
The new --uid command line option will show only the tasks for a given
user, using the proc interface to figure out the existing tasks.

Kernel work is needed to close races at startup, but this should already
be useful in many use cases.
