Ensure the id_pos is correct when perf_evlist__open() is used.
This fixes a problem introduced in 7556257 that broke 'perf kvm stat
live' in that this tool wasn't updated to use the sample_type bits
setting helpers.Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter

Before:
perf trace -i perf.data
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#After:
# perf trace -i perf.data
Data file does not have raw_syscalls:sys_enter events
#When there are no tracepoints in a perf.data file the struct pevent
that contains the list of tracepoints that will be used to lookup the
tracepoint id by name will not be populated, causing a NULL deref.And we don't need to do all that dance to look at pevents for an entry
with a slighly different name to then lookup the tracepoint by its id on
the evlist, just use the perf_evlist__find_tracepoint_by_name() routine,
that will find the tracepoint, if present.Cc: Adrian Hunter

…it/acme/linux into perf/urgent
Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
* Fix parsing with no sample_id_all bit set, this regression prevents perf
from reading old perf.data files generated in systems where
perf_event_attr.sample_id_all isn't available, from Adrian Hunter.* Add signal checking to the inner 'perf trace' event processing loop, allowing
faster response to control+C.* Fix formatting of long symbol names removing the hardcoding of a buffer
size used to format histogram entries, which was truncating the lines.* Separate progress bar update when processing events, reducing potentially big
overhead in not needed TUI progress bar screen updates, from Jiri Olsa.* Fix 'perf trace' build in architectures where MAP_32BIT is not defined, from
Kyle McMartin.Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> -
Currently when processing events in the __perf_session__process_events
function we update a progress bar based on the file_size. During the
same processing we update the progress bar from within
flush_sample_queue which is based on number of samples count.Having 2 different based updates is causing the progress bar to jump
heavily back and forth giving not much usefull info.Fixing this by keeping only __perf_session__process_events based
progress bar update. And turning on flush_sample_queue progress bar
update only for final flushing.This reduces the number of time the progress bar update function is
called and it significantly reduces the loading time for TUI, where the
progress bar update takes quite a lot of time.Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa

We had a hardcoded buffer for formatting histogram entries, truncating
long symbol names (C++ anyone?).Fix it by using hists__sort_list_width() before formatting the first
histogram entry to calculate the max lenght needed by traversing the
overheads and columns lists (sort order).Reported-by: Stephane Eranian

The perf_evlist__event2evsel() is changed to handle non-sample events
(such as mmap events) that have no id sample appended i.e. when
sample_id_all is not set.Note that such events have a fixed format, so that the selected event
(evsel) they are associated with is immaterial.Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter

. Make 'perf trace' command line arguments consistent with
'perf record', by David Ahern.. Allow specifying syscalls a la strace, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Add --verbose and -o/--output options, by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.
. Support ! in -e expressions, to filter a list of syscalls,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.. Arg formatting improvements to allow masking arguments in
syscalls such as futex and open, where the some arguments are
ignored and thus should not be printed depending on other args,
by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo.. Beautify futex open, openat, open_by_handle_at, lseek and futex

far beautifiers for mmap, madvise, syscall return values,

assembly annotation. This also improves this use case because
vmlinux has just the initial kernel image, not what is actually
in use after various code patchings by things like alternatives.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible
to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
planned unified hierarchy.- The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
(cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers
(cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed,
which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that
decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.- cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high
flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward,
new events will simply generate file modified event and the
existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull
request contains prepatory patches for such change.- Various fixes and cleanups"
