Fix it by enclosing functions only used when those libraries are installed
under the suitable preprocessor define and using __maybe_unused to a function
that is only built when DWARF support is disabled.

In
$ perf diff -c ratio
color the Ratio column using value_color_snprintf(), a new function that
operates exactly like percent_color_snprintf().
At first glance, it looks like percent_color_snprintf() can be turned
into a non-variadic function simplifying things; however, 53805ec (perf
tools: Remove cast of non-variadic function to variadic, 2013-10-31)
explains why it needs to be a variadic function.

perf stat has a --delay option to delay measuring the workload.
This is useful to skip measuring the startup phase of the program, which
is often very different from the main workload.
The same is useful for perf record when sampling.
--no-delay was already taken, so add a --initial-delay
to perf record too.
-D was already taken for record, so there is only a long option.
v2: Don't disable group members (Namhyung Kim)
v3: port to latest perf/core
rename to --initial-delay to avoid conflict with --no-delay

Test one of the main kernel Makefile targets to generate a perf sources
tarball suitable for build outside the full kernel sources.
This is to test that the tools/perf/MANIFEST file lists all the files
needed to be in such tarball, which sometimes gets broken when we move
files around, like when we made some files that were in tools/perf/
available to other tools/ codebases by moving it to tools/include/, etc.
Now everytime we use 'make -C tools/perf -f tests/make' this test will
be performed, helping detect such problems earlier in the devel cycle.

Pull perf updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
Improvements:
* Support showing source code, asking for variables to be collected
at probe time and other 'perf probe' operations that use DWARF information.
This supports only binaries with debugging information at this time, detached
debuginfo (aka debuginfo packages) support should come in later patches.
(Masami Hiramatsu)
* Add a perf.data file header window in the 'perf report' TUI, associated
with the 'i' hotkey, providing a counterpart to the --header option in the
stdio UI. (Namhyung Kim)
* Guest related improvements to 'perf kvm', including allowing to
specify a directory with guest specific /proc information. (Dongsheng Yang)
* Print session information only if --stdio is given (Namhyung Kim)
Developer stuff:
Fixes:
* Get rid of a duplicate va_end() in error reporting (Namhyung Kim)
* If a hist entry doesn't have symbol information, compare it with its
address. Affects upcoming new feature (--cumulate) (Namhyung Kim)
Improvements:
* Make libtraceevent install target quieter (Jiri Olsa)
* Make tests/make output more compact (Jiri Olsa)
* Ignore generated files in feature-checks (Chunwei Chen)
New APIs:
* Introduce pevent_filter_strerror() in libtraceevent, similar in
purpose to libc's strerror() function. (Namhyung Kim)
Refactorings:
* Use perf_data_file methods to write output file in 'record' and
'inject' (Jiri Olsa)
* Use pr_*() functions where applicable in 'report' (Namhyumg Kim)
* Add 'machine' 'addr_location' struct to have full picture (machine,
thread, map, symbol, addr) for a (partially) resolved address, reducing
function signatures (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
* Reduce code duplication in the histogram entry creation/insertion. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
* Auto allocate annotation histogram data structures, (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
* No need to test against NULL before calling free, also set
freed memory in struct pointers to NULL, to help fixing use after
free bugs. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo>

This patch fixes a problem with the initialization of the
struct perf_event active_entry field. It is defined inside
an anonymous union and was initialized in perf_event_alloc()
using INIT_LIST_HEAD(). However at that time, we do not know
whether the event is going to use active_entry or hlist_entry (SW).
Or at last, we don't want to make that determination there.
The problem is that hlist and list_head are not initialized
the same way. One is okay with NULL (from kzmalloc), the other
needs to pointers to point to self.
This patch resolves this problem by dropping the union.
This will avoid problems later on, if someone starts using
active_entry or hlist_entry without verifying that they
actually overlap. This also solves the initialization
problem.

Support basic dwarf(debuginfo) based operations for uprobe events. With
this change, perf probe can analyze debuginfo of user application binary
to set up new uprobe event.
This allows perf-probe --add(with local variables, line numbers) and
--line works with -x option. (Actually, --vars has already accepted -x
option)
For example, the following command shows the probe-able lines of a given
user space function. Something that so far was only available in the
'perf probe' tool for kernel space functions:
# ./perf probe -x perf --line map__load
<map__load@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-2.6/tools/perf/util/map.c:0>
0 int map__load(struct map *map, symbol_filter_t filter)
1 {
2 const char *name = map->dso->long_name;
int nr;
5 if (dso__loaded(map->dso, map->type))
6 return 0;
8 nr = dso__load(map->dso, map, filter);
9 if (nr < 0) {
10 if (map->dso->has_build_id) {
And this shows the available variables at the given line of the
function.
# ./perf probe -x perf --vars map__load:8
Available variables at map__load:8
@<map__load+96>
char* name
struct map* map
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map__find_symbol+112>
char* name
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map__find_symbol_by_name+136>
char* name
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map_groups__find_symbol_by_name+176>
char* name
struct map* map
symbol_filter_t filter
And lastly, we can now define probe(s) with all available
variables on the given line:
# ./perf probe -x perf --add 'map__load:8 $vars'
Added new events:
probe_perf:map__load (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_1 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_2 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_3 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:map__load_3 -aR sleep 1
Changes from previous version:
- Add examples in the patch description.
- Use .text section start address and dwarf symbol address
for calculating the offset of given symbol, instead of
searching the symbol in symtab again.
With this change, we can safely handle multiple local
function instances (e.g. scnprintf in perf).
