When we detect a different endianity we swap event before processing.
It's tricky for samples because we have no idea what's inside. We treat
it as an array of u64s, swap them and later on we swap back parts which
are different.
We mangle this way also the tracepoint raw data, which ends up in report
showing wrong data:
1.95% comm=Q^B pid=29285 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
1.67% comm=l^B pid=0 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
Luckily the traceevent library handles the endianity by itself (thank
you Steven!), so we can pass the RAW data directly in the other
endianity.
2.51% comm=beah-rhts-task pid=1175 prio=120 target_cpu=002
2.23% comm=kworker/0:0 pid=11566 prio=120 target_cpu=000
The fix is basically to swap back the raw data if different endianity is
detected.

Teach buildid-cache how to add, remove, and update binary objects from
other mount namespaces. Allow probe events tracing binaries in
different namespaces to add their objects to the probe and build-id
caches too. As a handy side effect, this also lets us access SDT probes
in binaries from alternate mount namespaces.

[ Add util/namespaces.c to tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources, to fix the python binding 'perf test' ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
In ac12f6764c ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we
started using the parse_branch_str() function from one of the files used
in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail:
# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 16667
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
parse_branch_str
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the
pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this
regression to pass, sigh.
Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using
ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use
pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.
Now:
# perf test python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

The commit that introduced it should've moved it to the same place, plus
the 'tools/' prefix, but instead moved it to a bogus tools/lib/util/
directory, being the only file there.
Move it to tools/lib/find_bit.c, picking the name for the file where
these routines live since:
8f6f19dd51 ("lib: move find_last_bit to lib/find_next_bit.c")
Next step is to make tools/lib/find_bit.c to differ from lib/find_bit.c
just in removing what is not used by tools/.

Moving 'struct perf_counts' and associated functions into separate
object, so we could remove stat.c object dependency from python build.
It makes the python code to build properly, because it fails to load due
to missing stat-shadow.c object dependency if some patches from Kan
Liang are applied.
So apply this one, then Kan's.

The python binding build process was still looking at the kernel
rbtree.c file, so, when doing a in-tree build it would work, but when
creating a tarball using tools/perf/MANIFEST as the contents list and
then trying to build the resulting detached sources, it failed.
Fix it by removing one level of indirection from rbtree.c in the
tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources file.

routines that now are used in tools/perf/ and other tools and that can
be shared.
