To restrict a counter to either host or guest mode this patch introduces
two new event modifiers: G and H.
With G the counter is configured in guest-only mode and with H in
host-only mode.

We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just
one in util/debugfs.c will do.
Also rename debugfs_path to tracing_events_path, as it is not the path
to debugfs, that is debugfs_mountpoint. Both are now accessible.
This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without
having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c.
The defaults for these variables are the canonical "/sys/kernel/debug"
and "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/", removing the need for simple
tools to call debugfs_mount(NULL).

There was a problem with the parse_events() code not printing the
correct event name when an event was unknown and starting with an 'r'.
The source of the problem was the way raw notation was parsed.
Without the patch:
$ perf stat -e retired_foo
invalid event modifier: 'tired_foo'
With the patch:
$ perf stat -e retired_foo
invalid or unsupported event: 'retired_foo'
This also covers the case where the name of the event was not printed at
all when perf was linked with libpfm4.

Add "node" as a simple alias for NODE cache events.
The addition of NODE cache events broke the parse_alias
function, so any mismatched event caused the segfault, like:
# ./perf stat -e krava ls
The hw_cache/hw_cache_op/hw_cache_result arrays needs to follow
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_*MAX enums. Adding those MAXs to be size
of those arrays, so possible ommision in future wil not lead to
segfault.

Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".
The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.
This patch changes the code to be more informative:
$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers
And restructures the return value of parse_event_modifier() to allow
the printing of all variants of invalid event modifiers.

This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a
run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its
encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without
their modifiers (u, k, pp).
This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel
struct and uses it to print the final event name.
This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as
libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables.

It was broken by f006d25 that passed just the event name, not the complete
sys:event that it expected to open the /sys/.../sys/sys:event/id file to get
the id.
Fix it by moving it to after parse_events in cmd_record, as at that point
we can just traverse the evsel_list and use evsel->attr.config +
event_name(evsel) instead of re-opening the /id file.

I found when specifying all tracepoints with -e to one of subcommand,
such as 'stat', the program will trigger a buffer overflow error, like
this:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./perf terminated
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x382cefb2c7]
....
The tracepoints are separated by comma, something like this:
$ perf stat -a -e `perf list |grep Tracepoint|awk -F'[' '{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`
The root reason of this problem is that store_event_type() is called for all
events, and will overflow the 'filename' at:
strncat(filename, orgname, strlen(orgname));
This patch fixes it by calling store_event_type() only when the event name has
been found.

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:
0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.
Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.
This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.

Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to
be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really
require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly
need to trigger everytime.
It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we
lost a lot of events because we forgot the "-c 1" option.
Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user
override it.

Mostly used in symbol.c so move them there to reduce the number
of files needed to use the symbol system.
Also do some header adjustments with the same intent.

Minimal userspace interface to the new 'precise' events flag.
Can be used like "perf top -e r00c0p" which will use PEBS to sample
retired instructions.

Support glob wildcard when selecting tracepoint events by -e
option. Without this patch, perf-tools supports 'GROUP:*:record'
syntax for selecting all tracepoints under GROUP group.
With this patch, user can choose tracepoints more flexibly by using
partial wildcards, e.g. 'block:*bio*:record'.

Uses of strcat are almost always signs that someone is too lazy
to think about the code a bit more carefully. One always has to
know about the lengths of the strings involved to avoid buffer
overflows.
This is one case where the size of the object code for me is
reduced by 38 bytes. The code should also be faster, especially
if flags is non-NULL.

The size argument to zalloc should be the size of desired
structure, not the pointer to it.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

// <smpl>

x =

This way we type less characters and it looks more like the
kzalloc kernel counterpart.

Add the breakpoint events support with this new sysnopsis:
mem:addr[:access]
Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be
either [r][w][x]
Example to profile tasklist_lock:
$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock
$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
$ perf report
# Samples: 62
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............... ............. ......

29.03% swapper [kernel] [k] _raw_read_trylock
29.03% swapper [kernel] [k] _raw_read_unlock
19.35% init [kernel] [k] _raw_read_trylock

1.61% events/0 [kernel] [k] _raw_read_trylock
1.61% events/0 [kernel] [k] _raw_read_unlock
Coming soon:
- Support for symbols in the event definition.
- Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
events.
