[ Upstream commit d61cbb859b45fdb6b4997f2d51834fae41af0e94 ]

The segmentation fault can be reproduced as following steps:

1) Executing perf report in tui.

2) Typing '/xxxxx' to filter the symbol to get nothing matched.

3) Pressing enter with no entry selected.

Then it will report a segmentation fault.

It is caused by the lack of check of browser-&gt;he_selection when
accessing it's member res_samples in perf_evsel__hists_browse().

These processes are meaningful for specified samples, so we can skip
these when nothing is selected.

In d10ec006dcd7 ("perf hists browser: Allow passing an initial hotkey")
the hist_entry__title() call was cut'n'pasted to a function where the
'title' variable is a pointer, not an array, so the sizeof(title)
continues syntactically valid but ends up reducing the real size of the
buffer where to format the first line in the screen to 8 bytes, which
makes the formatting at the title at each refresh to produce just the
string "Samples ", duh, fix it by passing the size of the buffer.

<title>perf report/top TUI: Support hotkeys to let user select any event for sorting</title>

When performing "perf report --group", it shows the event group information
together. In previous patch, we have supported a new option "--group-sort-idx"
to sort the output by the event at the index n in event group.

It would be nice if we can use a hotkey in browser to select a event
to sort.

For example,

  # perf report --group

 Samples: 12K of events 'cpu/instructions,period=2000003/, cpu/cpu-cycles,period=200003/, ...
                        Overhead  Command    Shared Object            Symbol

to sort output by the forth event in group.

<title>perf report: Support a new key to reload the browser</title>

Sometimes we may need to reload the browser to update the output since
some options are changed.

This patch creates a new key K_RELOAD. Once the __cmd_report() returns
K_RELOAD, it would repeat the whole process, such as, read samples from
data file, sort the data and display in the browser.

 v5:
 ---
 1. Fix the 'make NO_SLANG=1' error. Define K_RELOAD in util/hist.h.
 2. Skip setup_sorting() in repeat path if last key is K_RELOAD.

 v4:
 ---
 Need to quit in perf_evsel_menu__run if key is K_RELOAD.

<id>ec0479a63b7657e57665a9fc81d11a99131cfc62</id>
<content type='text'>
In previous patch, we have supported the annotation functionality even
without symbols.

For this patch, it supports the hotkey 'a' on address in report view.
Note that, for branch mode, we only support the annotation for "branch
to" address.

In previous patch, we have supported the annotation functionality even
without symbols.

For this patch, it supports the hotkey 'a' on address in report view.
Note that, for branch mode, we only support the annotation for "branch
to" address.

For perf report on stripped binaries it is currently impossible to do
annotation. The annotation state is all tied to symbols, but there are
either no symbols, or symbols are not covering all the code.

We should support the annotation functionality even without symbols.

This patch fakes a symbol and the symbol name is the string of address.
After that, we just follow current annotation working flow.

For example,

1. perf report

  Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol
    20.67%  div      libc-2.27.so      [.] __random_r
    17.29%  div      libc-2.27.so      [.] __random
    10.59%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000628
     9.25%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000612
     6.11%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000645

2. Select the line of "10.59%  div      div               [.] 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER.

  Annotate 0x0000000000000628
  Zoom into div thread
  Zoom into div DSO (use the 'k' hotkey to zoom directly into the kernel)
  Browse map details
  Run scripts for samples of symbol [0x0000000000000628]
  Run scripts for all samples
  Switch to another data file in PWD
  Exit

3. Select the "Annotate 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER.

Percent│
       │
       │
       │     Disassembly of section .text:
       │
       │     0000000000000628 &lt;.text+0x68&gt;:
       │       divsd %xmm4,%xmm0
       │       divsd %xmm3,%xmm1
       │       movsd (%rsp),%xmm2
       │       addsd %xmm1,%xmm0
       │       addsd %xmm2,%xmm0
       │       movsd %xmm0,(%rsp)

Now we can see the dump of object starting from 0x628.

 v5:
 ---
 Remove the hotkey 'a' implementation from this patch. It
 will be moved to a separate patch.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Support the hotkey 'a'. When we press 'a' on address,
    now it supports the annotation.

 2. Change the patch title from
    "Support interactive annotation of code without symbols" to
    "perf report: Support interactive annotation of code without symbols"

 v3:
 ---
 Keep just the ANNOTATION_DUMMY_LEN, and remove the
 opts-&gt;annotate_dummy_len since it's the "maybe in future
 we will provide" feature.

 v2:
 ---
 Fix a crash issue when annotating an address in "unknown" object.

 The steps to reproduce this issue:

 perf record -e cycles:u ls
 perf report

    75.29%  ls       ld-2.27.so        [.] do_lookup_x
    23.64%  ls       ld-2.27.so        [.] __GI___tunables_init
     1.04%  ls       [unknown]         [k] 0xffffffff85c01210
     0.03%  ls       ld-2.27.so        [.] _start

 When annotating 0xffffffff85c01210, the crash happens.

 v2 adds checking for ms-&gt;map in add_annotate_opt(). If the object is
 "unknown", ms-&gt;map is NULL.

Committer notes:

Renamed new_annotate_sym() to symbol__new_unresolved().

Use PRIx64 to fix this issue in some 32-bit arches:

  ui/browsers/hists.c: In function 'symbol__new_unresolved':
  ui/browsers/hists.c:2474:38: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'u64' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=]
    snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%-#.*lx", BITS_PER_LONG / 4, addr);
                                  ~~~~~~^                      ~~~~
                                  %-#.*llx

<title>perf annotate: Fix --show-nr-samples for tui/stdio2</title>

perf annotate --show-nr-samples does not really show number of samples.

The reason is we have two separate variables for the same purpose.

One is in symbol_conf.show_nr_samples and another is
annotation_options.show_nr_samples.

We save command line option in symbol_conf.show_nr_samples but uses
annotation_option.show_nr_samples while rendering tui/stdio2 browser.

Though, we copy symbol_conf.show_nr_samples to
annotation__default_options.show_nr_samples but that is not really
effective as we don't use annotation__default_options once we copy
default options to dynamic variable annotate.opts in cmd_annotate().

Instead of all these complication, keep only one variable and use it all
over. symbol_conf.show_nr_samples is used by perf report/top as well. So
let's kill annotation_options.show_nr_samples.

On a side note, I've kept annotation_options.show_nr_samples definition
because it's still used by perf-config code. Follow up patch to fix
perf-config for annotate will remove annotation_options.show_nr_samples.

The 'perf annotate' TUI browser provides a 'r' hot key to switch to a
script browser. But the annotate browser title bar becomes hidden while
switching back from script browser. Fix it.

The 'perf annotate' TUI browser provides a 'r' hot key to switch to a
script browser. But the annotate browser title bar becomes hidden while
switching back from script browser. Fix it.

The 'e' and 'c' hotkeys were present for a long time, but not documented
in the help window, change 'e' to be a toggle so that it gets consistent
with other toggles like '+' and document it in the help window.

Keep 'c' as is for people used to it but don't document, as it is easier
to just use 'e' to show/hide all the callchains for a top level
histogram entry.
