E.g.:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -v --vmlinux
../build/tip/vmlinux > /dev/null build_id in vmlinux is
e96699725a47413a50c231864a8e7a8ced40a31b while expected is
18e7cc53db62a7d35e9d6f6c9ddc23017d38ee9a, ignoring it
I.e. perf top was told to use a vmlinux file that is not the one
currently running on the machine, it ignores it and falls back
to using /proc/kallsyms.
This solves many, at first, mysterious results when people have
a stale vmlinux file while keeping the default of trying to use
the vmlinux file in the current directory in things like 'perf
annotate' where the DWARF info is required and thus we can't use
just /proc/kallsyms.
Modules buildids are already being checked as of the previous
changeset in this series, because we are using the default
dso__load routine, that will look at a series of places looking
for the best file with a matching buildid, starting in the
-debuginfo directories.

Just like we do with the other DSOs. This also simplifies the
kernel_maps setup process, now all that the tools need to do is
to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and
kernel will be created, then, later, when
kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call
maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded,
loading it if needed.
Now if one does 'perf top --hide_kernel_symbols' we won't pay
the price of loading the (many) symbols in /proc/kallsyms or
vmlinux.

In the kernel we have more than one notes section, so the linker

we want, with the build_id.

It should just load kernel symbols, not load the list of
modules. There are more stuff to move to other routines, but
lets do it in several steps.
End goal is to be able to defer symbol table loading till we
find a hit for that map address range. So that the kernel &
modules are handled just like all the other DSOs in the system.

Several refactorings were needed so that we can have symmetry
between dsos__load_modules() and dsos__load_kernel(), i.e. those
functions will respectively create and add to the dsos list the
loaded modules and kernel, with its buildids, but not load its
symbols. That is something the subcomands that need will have to
call dso__load_kernel_sym(), just like we do with modules with
dsos__load_module_sym()/dso__load_module_sym().
Next csets will actually use this info to stop producing bogus

When we read the build_id from the DSO name to then index into
/usr/lib/debug/.buildid/DSO_BUILD_ID[0:2]/DSO_BUILD_ID[2:], we
were jumping directly to the comparision with the buildid we
already have in dso->build_id (that came from the perf.data
build_id section, collected at perf record time)
unconditionally, even if we didn't had recorded it, and
furthermore, comparing a formatted buildid with a rawbuildid, yikes.
Fix it by deleting the dso__read_build_id() function, that was
really misdesigned anyway, and do the necessary checks and

The purpose of perf_output_{un,}lock() is to:
1) avoid publishing incomplete data
[ possible when publishing a head that is ahead of an entry
that is still being written ]
2) guarantee fwd progress
[ a simple refcount on pending writers doesn't need to drop to
0, making it so would end up implementing something like forced
quiecent states of RCU ]
To satisfy the above without undue complexity it serializes
between CPUs, this means that a pending writer can only be the
same cpu in a nested context, and since (under normal operation)
a cpu always makes progress we're good -- if the head is only
published when the bottom most writer completes.
Now we don't need to disable IRQs in order to serialize between
CPUs, disabling preemption ought to be sufficient, esp since we
already deal with nesting due to NMIs.
This avoids potentially expensive (and needless) local IRQ
disable/enable ops.

The ratio between the number of events and the time elapsed makes
sense only if task-clock event is counted. Otherwise it will be
simply a (confusing)
# 0.000 M/sec
This patch outputs the ratio only if task-clock event is counted.
Some test examples of before and after:
Before:
[lucas@skywalker linux.trees.git]$ sudo perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1367818 branch-misses # 0.000 M/sec
1.001494325 seconds time elapsed
After (without task-clock):
[lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1135044 branch-misses
1.001370775 seconds time elapsed
After (with task-clock):
[lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -e task-clock -a -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
1070111 branch-misses # 0.534 M/sec
2002.730893 task-clock-msecs # 1.999 CPUs
1.001640292 seconds time elapsed

This patch modifies util/string.[ch] to add new function:
perf_atoll() to parse string representing size in bytes.
This function parses (\d+)(b|B|kb|KB|mb|MB|gb|GB) (e.g. "256MB")
and returns its numeric value. (e.g. 268435456)

This build error:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.c:3655: error: implicit declaration of function 'hw_breakpoint_restore'
Happens because in the CONFIG_KVM=m case there's no 'CONFIG_KVM' define
in the kernel - it's CONFIG_KVM_MODULE in that case.
Make the prototype available unconditionally.
