In verbose level 2, errors returned by libdw are reported in most cases,
but not when calling dwfl_attach_state.
Since elfutils v 0.160 (2014), dwfl_attach_state sets the error code to
report failure cause. On failure, log the reported error.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Fixes for problems experienced with new GCC 8 warnings, that treated
as errors, broke the build, related to snprintf and casting issues.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Jiri Olsa, Josh Poinboeuf)
- Fix build of new breakpoint 'perf test' entry with clang < 6, noticed
on fedora 25, 26 and 27 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Workaround problem with symbol resolution in 'perf annotate', using
the symbol name already present in the objdump output (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Document 'perf top --ignore-vmlinux' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix out of bounds access on array fd when cnt is 100 in one of the
'perf test' entries, detected using 'cpptest' (Colin Ian King)
- Add support for the forced leader feature, i.e. 'perf report --group'
for a group of events not really grouped when scheduled (without using
{} to enclose the list of events in the command line) in pipe mode,
e.g.:
$ perf record -e cycles,instructions -o - kill | perf report --group -i -
- Use right type to access array elements in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Update POWER9 vendor events (those described in JSON format) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Discard head in overwrite_rb_find_range() (Yisheng Xie)
- Avoid setting 'quiet' to 'true' unnecessarily (Yisheng Xie)

Starting with recent GCC 8 builds, objtool and perf fail to build with
the following error:
../str_error_r.c: In function ‘str_error_r’:
../str_error_r.c:25:3: error: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 5 [-Werror=restrict]
snprintf(buf, buflen, "INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(%d, %p, %zd)=%d", errnum, buf, buflen, err);
The code seems harmless, but there's probably no benefit in printing the
'buf' pointer in this situation anyway, so just remove it to make GCC
happy.

Current 'perf probe' converts the type of array-elements incorrectly. It
always converts the types as a pointer of array. This passes the "array"
type DIE to the type converter so that it can get correct "element of
array" type DIE from it.
E.g.
====
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(int a[])
{
printf("%d\n", a[1]);
}
void main()
{
int a[3] = {4, 5, 6};
printf("%d\n", a[0]);
foo(a);
}
$ gcc -g hello.c -o hello
$ perf probe -x ./hello -D "foo a[1]"
====
Without this fix, above outputs
====
p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):u64
====
The "u64" means "int *", but a[1] is "int".
With this,
====
p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):s32
====
So, "int" correctly converted to "s32"

There is a bug where when using 'perf annotate timerqueue_add' the
target for its only routine called with the 'callq' instruction,
'rb_insert_color', doesn't get resolved from its address when parsing
that 'callq' instruction.
That symbol resolution works when using 'perf report --tui' and then
doing annotation for 'timerqueue_add' from there, the vmlinux
dso->symbols rb_tree somehow gets in a state that we can't find that
address, that is a bug that has to be further investigated.
But since the objdump output has the function name, i.e. the raw objdump
disassembled line looks like:
So, before:
# perf annotate timerqueue_add
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq *ffffffff8184dc80
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
# perf report
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq rb_insert_color
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
And after both look the same:
# perf annotate timerqueue_add
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq rb_insert_color
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
From 'perf report' one can annotate and navigate to that 'rb_insert_color'
function, but not directly from 'perf annotate timerqueue_add', that
remains to be investigated and fixed.
