All events from 'perf list', except SDT events, can be directly recorded
with 'perf record'. But, the flow is little different for SDT events.
Probe points for SDT event needs to be created using 'perf probe' before
recording it using 'perf record'.
Perf shows misleading hint when a user tries to record SDT event without
first creating a probe point. Show proper hint there.
Before patch:
$ perf record -a -e sdt_glib:idle__add
event syntax error: 'sdt_glib:idle__add'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_glib/idle__add not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
...
After patch:
$ perf record -a -e sdt_glib:idle__add
event syntax error: 'sdt_glib:idle__add'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sdt_glib/idle__add not found.
Hint: SDT event cannot be directly recorded on.
Please first use 'perf probe sdt_glib:idle__add' before recording it.
...
$ perf probe sdt_glib:idle__add
Added new event:
sdt_glib:idle__add (on %idle__add in /usr/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0.5000.2)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_glib:idle__add -aR sleep 1
$ perf record -a -e sdt_glib:idle__add
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.175 MB perf.data ]

make already provides the current working directory in a variable, so make
use of it instead of forking a shell. Also replace usage of PWD by
CURDIR. PWD is provided by most shells, but not all, so this makes the
build system more robust.

By using 0 for base, the strtoull() detects the base automatically (see
'man strtoull').
ATM we have just one user of this function, the cpu__get_max_freq
function reading the "cpuinfo_max_freq" sysfs file. It should not get
affected by this change.
Committer note:
This change seems motivated by this discussion:
"[PATCH] [RFC V1]s390/perf: fix 'start' address of module's map"
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160711120155.GA29929@krava
I.e. this patches paves the way for filename__read_ull() to be used in a
S/390 related fix.

Adding support for warning/info/debug output within libapi code. Adding
following macros:
pr_warning(fmt, ...)
pr_info(fmt, ...)
pr_debug(fmt, ...)
Also adding libapi_set_print function to set above functions. This will
be used in perf to set standard debug handlers for libapi.
Adding 2 header files:
debug.h
- to be used outside libapi, contains
libapi_set_print interface
debug-internal.h
- to be used within libapi, contains
pr_warning/pr_info/pr_debug definitions

Storing the actual tracing path mountpoint to display correct
error message hint ('Hint:' line). The error hint rediscovers
mountpoints, but it could be different from what we actually
used in tracing path.
Before we'd display debugfs mount even though tracefs was used:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
...
After this change, correct mountpoint is displayed:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
\___ can't access trace events
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'

E.g.:
$ ./cpu__get_max_freq
3200000
It does that, as Kan's patch does, by looking at these files:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
0-3
$ ./sysfs__read_ull
devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq=3200000
$
I.e. find out the first online CPU, then read its cpufreq info.
But do it in tools/lib/api/, so that other tools/ living code can use
it, not just perf.

Now that we have two mountpoints, one for debugfs and another, for
tracefs, we end up needing to check permissions for both, so, on
a system with default config we were always asking the user to
check the permission of the debugfs mountpoint, even when it was
already sufficient. Fix it.
E.g.:
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
$ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
$ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
0.326 ( 0.061 ms): usleep/11961 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffef1081c50) = 0

Some toolchains (like Hardened Gentoo) define _FORTIFY_SOURCE in the
built-in, default args. This causes perf builds to fail with:
<command-line>:0:0: error: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror]
<built-in>: note: this is the location of the previous definition cc1:
all warnings being treated as errors
To avoid this, undefine _FORTIFY_SOURCE before (possibly re-)defining it
in tools/lib/api.
v2 applies cleanly on top of already pulled kbuild changes for 4.1-rc1.

Since tracefs will now hold the event directory for perf, and even
though by default, debugfs still mounts tracefs on the debugfs/tracing
directory, the system admin may now choose to not mount debugfs and
instead just mount tracefs instead.
Having tracefs helper functions will facilitate having perf look for
tracefs first, and then try debugfs as a fallback.

It's rather strange to be checking the debugfs MAGIC number for the
tracing directory. A system admin may want to have a custom set of
events to trace and it should be allowed to let the admin make a temp
file (even for tracing virtual boxes, this is useful).
Also with the coming tracefs, the files may not even be under debugfs,
so checking the debugfs MAGIC number is pointless.
