With this we can list the buildids in a perf.data file so that
we can pipe them to other, distro specific tools that from the
buildids can figure out separate packages (foo-debuginfo) where
we can find the matching symtabs so that perf report can do its
job.
E.g:
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ perf buildid-list | head -5
8e08b117e5458ad3f85da16d42d0fc5cd21c5869

Use strlen & macros instead of manually counting string lengths as

Enables 'perf probe' even if libdwarf is not installed. If libdwarf is
not found, 'perf probe' just disables dwarf support. Users can use
'perf probe' to set up new events by using kprobe_events format.

Add perf probe subcommand that implements a kprobe-event setup helper
to the perf command.
This allows user to define kprobe events using C expressions (C line
numbers, C function names, and C local variables).
Usage
-----
perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]
-k, --vmlinux <file> vmlinux/module pathname
-P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]>
probe point definition, where
p: kprobe probe
r: kretprobe probe
GRP: Group name (optional)
NAME: Event name
FUNC: Function name
OFFS: Offset from function entry (in byte)
SRC: Source code path
LINE: Line number
ARG: Probe argument (local variable name or
kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)
Changes in v4:
- Add _GNU_SOURCE macro for strndup().
Changes in v3:
- Remove -r option because perf always be used for online kernel.
- Check malloc/calloc results.
Changes in v2:
- Check synthesized string length.
- Rename perf kprobe to perf probe.
- Use spaces for separator and update usage comment.
- Check error paths in parse_probepoint().
- Check optimized-out variables.

timechart is a tool to visualize what is going on in the system.
The user makes a trace of what is going on with
> perf record --timechart /usr/bin/some_command
and then can turn the output of this into an svg file
> perf timechart
which then can be viewed with any SVG view; inkscape works well
enough for me.
The idea behind timechart is to create a "infinitely zoomable"
picture; something that has high level information on a 1:1 zoom
level, but which exposes more details every time you zoom into a
specific area.

This turn-key tool allows scheduler measurements to be
conducted and the results be displayed numerically.
First baby step towards that goal: clone the new command off of
perf trace.
Fix a few other details along the way:
- add (minimal) perf trace documentation
- reorder a few places
- list perf trace in the mainporcelain list as well
as it's a very useful utility.

Enable -Wextra. This found a few real bugs plus a number
of signed/unsigned type mismatches/uncleanlinesses. It
also required a few annotations
All things considered it was still worth it so lets try with
this enabled for now.
