Change event groups into RB trees sorted by CPU and then by a 64bit
index, so that multiplexing hrtimer interrupt handler would be able
skipping to the current CPU's list and ignore groups allocated for the
other CPUs.
New API for manipulating event groups in the trees is implemented as well
as adoption on the API in the current implementation.
pinned_group_sched_in() and flexible_group_sched_in() API are
introduced to consolidate code enabling the whole group from pinned
and flexible groups appropriately.

Which results in doing a pmu::read() on an !ACTIVE event.
I _think_ this is 'new' since we added attr.inherit_stat, which added
the perf_event_read_event() to the exit path, without that
perf_event_read_output() would only trigger from samples and for
@event to trigger a sample, it's leader _must_ be ACTIVE too.
Still, adding this check makes it consistent with the @sub case for
the siblings.

In fixed period mode, the auto-reload mechanism could be enabled for
PEBS events, but the calculation of event->count does not take the
auto-reload values into account.
Anyone who reads event->count will get the wrong result, e.g x86_pmu_read().
This bug was introduced with the auto-reload mechanism enabled since
commit:
851559e35fd5 ("perf/x86/intel: Use the PEBS auto reload mechanism when possible")
Introduce intel_pmu_save_and_restart_reload() to calculate the
event->count only for auto-reload.
Since the counter increments a negative counter value and overflows on
the sign switch, giving the interval:
[-period, 0]
the difference between two consequtive reads is:
A) value2 - value1;
when no overflows have happened in between,
B) (0 - value1) + (value2 - (-period));
when one overflow happened in between,
C) (0 - value1) + (n - 1) * (period) + (value2 - (-period));
when @n overflows happened in between.
Here A) is the obvious difference, B) is the extension to the discrete
interval, where the first term is to the top of the interval and the
second term is from the bottom of the next interval and C) the extension
to multiple intervals, where the middle term is the whole intervals
covered.
The equation for all cases is:
value2 - value1 + n * period
Previously the event->count is updated right before the sample output.
But for case A, there is no PEBS record ready. It needs to be specially
handled.
Remove the auto-reload code from x86_perf_event_set_period() since
we'll not longer call that function in this case.

perf pmu: Auto-merge PMU events created by prefix or glob match
Auto-merge for these events was disabled when auto-merging of non-alias
events was disabled in commit 63ce844 (perf stat: Only auto-merge events
that are PMU aliases).
Non-merging of legacy events is preserved:
$ perf stat -ag -e cache-misses,cache-misses sleep 1
perf pmu: Display pmu name when printing unmerged events in stat
To simplify creation of events accross multiple instances of the same
type of PMU stat supports two methods for creating multiple events from
a single event specification:
1. A prefix or glob can be used in the PMU name.
2. Aliases, which are listed immediately after the Kernel PMU events
by perf list, are used.
When the --no-merge option is passed and these events are displayed
individually the PMU name is lost and it's not possible to see which
count corresponds to which pmu:
$ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge ls > /dev/null
perf pmu: Support wildcards on pmu name in dynamic pmu events
Starting on v4.12 event parsing code for dynamic pmu events already
supports prefix-based matching of multiple pmus when creating dynamic
events. E.g., in a system with the following dynamic pmus:
mypmu_0
mypmu_1
mypmu_2
mypmu_4
passing mypmu/<config>/ as an event spec will result in the creation of
the event in all of the pmus. This change expands this matching through
the use of fnmatch so glob-like expressions can be used to create events
in multiple pmus. E.g., in the system described above if a user only
wants to create the event in mypmu_0 and mypmu_1, mypmu_[01]/<config>/
can be passed.

perf auxtrace: Make auxtrace_queues__add_buffer() return buffer_ptr
In preparation for supporting AUX area sampling buffers,
auxtrace_queues__add_buffer() needs to be more generic. To that end, make
it return buffer_ptr instead of the caller.
One can set a cgroup as a default cgroup to be used by all events or
set cgroups with the 'perf stat' and 'perf record' behaviour, i.e.
'-G A' will be the cgroup for events defined so far in the command line.
Here in my main machine, with a kvm instance running a rhel6 guinea pig
I have:
# ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/ | grep drw
drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 360 Mar 6 12:04 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 0 Mar 6 15:05 machine.slice
#
So I can go ahead and use that cgroup hierarchy, say lets see what
syscalls are being emitted by threads in that 'machine.slice' hierarchy
that are taking more than 100ms:
See the documentation about how to set more than one cgroup for
different events in the same command line.

The usual thing is for a constructor to allocate space for its members,
not to require that the caller pass a pre-allocated 'name' and then, at
its destructor, to free something not allocated by it.
Fix it by making cgroup__new() to receive a const char pointer, then
allocate cgroup->name that then can continue to be freed at
cgroup__delete(), balancing the alloc/free operations inside the cgroup
struct methods.
This eases calling evlist__findnew_cgroup() from the custom 'perf trace'
cgroup parser, that will only call parse_cgroups() when the '-G cgroup'
is passed on the command line after '-e event' entries, when it'll
behave just like 'perf stat' and 'perf record', i.e. the previous
parse_cgroup() users that mandate that -G only can come after a -e.

The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array
allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it.
We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because
it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for
single event as a key for evsel update event.
Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when

perf kallsyms: Fix the usage on the man page
First, all man pages highlight only perf and subcommands except 'perf
kallsyms', which includes the full usage. Fix it for commands to
monopolize underlines.
Second, options can be ommited when executing 'perf kallsyms', so add
square brackets between <option>.

perf record: Fix crash in pipe mode
Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like:
$ perf record ls | perf report
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
perf: Segmentation fault
Error:
The - file has no samples!
The callstack of the crash is:
0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name
3513 ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]);

#7 0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv
#8 0x00000000004cc422 in main
The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array
allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it.
We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because
it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for
single event as a key for evsel update event.
Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when
we are in pipe mode.

perf tests: Switch trace+probe_libc_inet_pton to use record
There's a problem with relying on backtrace data from 'perf trace' the
way the trace+probe_libc_inet_pton does. This test inserts uprobe within
ping binary and checks that it gets its sample using 'perf trace'.
It also checks it gets proper backtrace from sample and that's where the
issue is.
The 'perf trace' does not sort events (by definition) so it can happen
that it processes the event sample before the ping binary memory map
event. This can (very rarely) happen as proved by this events dump
output (from custom added debug output):
In this case 'perf trace' fails to resolve the last callchain IP (within
the ping binary) because it does not know about the ping binary memory
map yet and the test fails like this:

I.e. jumps to a label inside that function (_cpp_lex_token), and those
works, but also this kind:

I.e. jumps to another function, outside _cpp_lex_token, which are not
being correctly handled generating as a side effect references to
ab->offset[] entries that are set to NULL, so to make this code more
robust, check that here.
A proper fix for will be put in place, looking at the function name
right after the '<' token and probably treating this like a 'call'

For now just don't draw the arrow.
