We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.
This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.
Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).
Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.
This fixes 2 issues:
- Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
function descriptors.
- On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
dynsym section.
Assumptions:
- If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
image with a dynsym section.
- This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
(ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
(which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).
The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
pass both runtime & debug images.
Assumptions made here:
- The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.
- The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.
Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).

Only one callsite of dso__load_sym() uses the want_symtab functionality,
so place the logic at the callsite instead of within dso__load_sym().
This sets us up for removal of want_symtab completely once we keep
multiple elf handles (within symsrc's) around.

Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an
external structure.
The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up
sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in
dso__load()).
We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of
function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions
don't point to their actual location, they point to their function
descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location.
It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end
up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for
the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need
to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).

kallsyms__parse() takes a callback that is called on every discovered
symbol. As /proc/kallsyms does not supply symbol sizes, the callback was
simply called with end=start, faking the symbol size to 1.
All of the callbacks (there are 2) used in calls to kallsyms__parse()
are _only_ used as callbacks for kallsyms__parse().
Given that kallsyms__parse() lacks real information about what
end/length should be, don't make up a length in kallsyms__parse().
Instead have the callbacks handle guessing the length.
Also relocate a comment regarding symbol creation to the callback which
does symbol creation (kallsyms__parse() is not in general used to create
symbols).

In kallsyms_parse() when calling process_symbol() (a callback argument
to kallsyms_parse()), we pass start as both start & end (ie:
start=start, end=start).
In map__process_kallsym_symbol(), the length is calculated as 'end -
start + 1', making the length 1, not 0.
Essentially, start & end define an inclusive range.

This patch enables perf to use the DWARF unwind code.
It extends the perf record '-g' option with following arguments:
'fp' - provides framepointer based user
stack backtrace
'dwarf[,size]' - provides DWARF (libunwind) based user stack
backtrace. The size specifies the size of the
user stack dump. If omitted it is 8192 by default.
If libunwind is found during the perf build, then the 'dwarf' argument
becomes available for record command. The 'fp' stays as default option
in any case.
Examples: (perf compiled with libunwind)
perf record -g dwarf ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 8192 as stack dump size
perf record -g dwarf,4096 ls
- provides dwarf unwind with 4096 as stack dump size
perf record -g -- ls
perf record -g fp ls
- provides frame pointer unwind

Currently only trace point events are supported in perf/python script,
the first 3 patches of this serie add the support for all types of
events. This script is just a simple sample to show how to gather the
basic information of the events and analyze them.
This script will create one object for each event sample and insert them
into a table in a database, then leverage the simple SQL commands to
sort/group them. User can modify or write their brand new functions
according to their specific requirment.
Here is the sample of how to use the script:
$ perf record -a tree
$ perf script -s process_event.py
There is 100 records in gen_events table

This library defines several class types for perf events which could
help to better analyze the event samples. Currently there are just a few
classes, PerfEvent is the base class for all perf events, PebsEvent is
a HW base Intel x86 PEBS event, and user could add more SW/HW event
classes based on requriements.

Both perl and python script start processing events other than trace
points, and it's useful to pass the resolved symbol and the dso info to
the event handler in script for better analysis and statistics.
Struct thread is already a member of struct addr_location, using
addr_location will keep the thread info, while providing additional
symbol and dso info if exist, so that the script itself doesn't need to
bother to do the symbol resolving and dso searching work.

This patch just follows Robert Richter's idea and the commit 37a058ea0
"perf script: Add generic perl handler to process events"
to similarly add a python handler for general events other than tracepoints.
For non-tracepoint events, this patch will try to find a function named
"process_event" in the python script, and pass the event attribute,
perf_sample, raw_data in format of raw string. And the python script can
use "struct" module's unpack function to disasemble the needed info and process.

We already lookup the associated event_format when reading the perf.data
header, so that we can cache the tracepoint name in evsel->name, so do
it a little further and save the event_format itself, so that we can
avoid relookups in tools that need to access it.
Change the tools to take the most obvious advantage, when they were
using pevent_find_event directly. More work is needed for further
removing the need of a pointer to pevent, such as when asking for event
field values ("common_pid" and the other common fields and per
event_format fields).
This is something that was planned but only got actually done when
Andrey Wagin needed to do this lookup at perf_tool->sample() time, when
we don't have access to pevent (session->pevent) to use with
pevent_find_event().

We only have access to pevent after processing that event, so set the
tracepoint names there.
Right now this isn't a problem as we're deferring resolving the
tracepoint names to when we process samples, but in the next patches we
will be doing it in advance, to avoid relookups, so do it earlier, as
soon as we process the tracing data event.
