Fix up parse_callchain_record_opt error message for 'fp', in the past using '-g
fp' was a valid alternative to '--call-graph fp', which is not the case since:
commit 09b0fd45ff
Author: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]>
Date: Sat Oct 26 16:25:33 2013 +0200
perf record: Split -g and --call-graph
I.e. -g means "use the configured unwind data collection method" which has as
default 'fp', while --call-graph requires passing the method to use.

Add a --branch-history option to perf report that changes all the
settings necessary for using the branches in callstacks.
This is just a short cut to make this nicer to use, it does not enable
any functionality by itself.
v2: Change sort order. Rename option to --branch-history to
be less confusing.
v3: Updates
v4: Fix conflict with newer perf base
v5: Port to latest tip
v6: Add more comments. Remove CCKEY_ADDRESS setting. Remove
unnecessary branch_mode setting. Use a boolean.

Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.
This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.
This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.
Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:
tcall.c:
volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c;
__attribute__((noinline)) f2()
{
c = a / b;
}
__attribute__((noinline)) f1()
{
f2();
f2();
}
main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
f1();
}
% perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

The default output is unchanged.
This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.
This adds the basic code to report:
- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.
The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.
- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR
Current limitations:
- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)
v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
-b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

When debugging the tui browser I find it useful to redirect the debug
log into a file. Currently it's always forced to the message line.
Add an option to force it to stderr. Then it can be easily redirected.
Example:
[root@zoo ~]# perf --debug stderr report -vv 2> /tmp/debug
[root@zoo ~]# tail /tmp/debug
dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory

When the source line is not found fall back to sym + offset. This is
generally much more useful than a raw address.
For this we need to pass in the symbol from the caller.
For some callers it's awkward to compute, so we stay at the old
behaviour.

We need to define bfd_demangle() to either a wrapper for
cplus_demangle() or to a stub when NO_DEMANGLE is defined.
That is at odds with using bfd.h for some other reason, as it defines
bfd_demangle() and then if code that wants to use symbol.h, where the
above stubbing/wrapping is done, and bfd.h for other reasons, we end up
with a build error where bfd_demangle() is found to be redefined.
Avoid that by moving the stubbing/wrapping to symbol-elf.c, that is the
only user of such function. If we ever get to a point where there are
more valid users, we can then introduce a header for that.

For lbr-as-callgraph we need to see the line number in the history,
because many LBR entries can be in a single function, and just
showing the same function name many times is not useful.
When the history code is configured to sort by address, also try to
resolve the address to a file:srcline and display this in the browser.
If that doesn't work still display the address.
This can be also useful without LBRs for understanding which call in a large
function (or in which inlined function) called something else.

Currently perf report on TUI doesn't print percent for first-level
callchain entry.
I guess it (wrongly) assumes that there's only a single callchain in the
first level.
This patch fixes it by handling the first level callchains same as
others - if it's not 100% it should print the percent value.
Also it'll affect other callchains in the other way around - if it's
100% (single callchain) it should not print the percentage.

- 30.95% 6.84% abc2 abc2 [.] a

- 70.00% c
- 100.00% apic_timer_interrupt

Events may still be ordered even if there are no timestamps e.g. if the
data is recorded per-thread.
Also synthesized COMM events have a timestamp of zero.
Consequently it is better to keep comm entries even if they have a
timestamp of zero.
However, when a struct thread is created the command string is not known
and a comm entry with a string of the form ":<tid>" is used.
In that case thread->comm_set is false and the comm entry should be
overridden.

With srcline key/sort'ing it's useful to have line numbers in the
annotate window. This patch implements this.
Use objdump -l to request the line numbers and save them in the line
structure. Then the browser displays them for source lines.
The line numbers are not displayed by default, but can be toggled on
with 'k'
There is one unfortunate problem with this setup. For lines not
containing source and which are outside functions objdump -l reports
line numbers off by a few: it always reports the first line number in
the next function even for lines that are outside the function.
I haven't found a nice way to detect/correct this. Probably objdump has
to be fixed.
See https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16433
The line numbers are still useful even with these problems, as most are
correct and the ones which are not are nearby.
v2: Fix help text. Handle (discriminator...) output in objdump.
Left align the line numbers.

For perf report with --sort srcline only print the base source file
name. This makes the results generally fit much better to the screen.
The path is usually not that useful anyways because it is often from
different systems.
