These paths point to the wrong location but still work because they get
picked up by a -I flag that happens to direct to the correct file. Fix
paths to lead to the actual file location without help from include
flags.

[ Upstream commit ceb75476db1617a88cc29b09839acacb69aa076e ]

Based on the following report from Smatch, fix the potential
NULL pointer dereference check.

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:641
  hist_browser__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 625)

  tools/perf/ui/browsers/hists.c:3272
  perf_evsel_menu__run() error: we previously assumed 'hbt' could be
  null (see line 3260)

This patch firstly validating the pointers before access them, so can
fix potential NULL pointer dereference.

<title>perf build: Handle slang being in /usr/include and in /usr/include/slang/</title>

<id>b1d218908e4670c300bc22a0840072f0401af5f3</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 78d6ccce03e86de34c7000bcada493ed0679e350 ]

In some distros slang.h may be in a /usr/include 'slang' subdir, so use
the if slang is not explicitely disabled (by using NO_SLANG=1) and its
feature test for the common case (having /usr/include/slang.h) failed,
use the results for the test that checks if it is in slang/slang.h.

Change the only file in perf that includes slang.h to use
HAVE_SLANG_INCLUDE_SUBDIR and forget about this for good.

On a rhel6 system now we have:

  $ /tmp/build/perf/perf -vv | grep slang
                libslang: [ on  ]  # HAVE_SLANG_SUPPORT
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libslang
  	libslang.so.2 =&gt; /usr/lib64/libslang.so.2 (0x00007fa2d5a8d000)
  $ grep slang /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-libslang=0
  feature-libslang-include-subdir=1
  $ cat /etc/redhat-release
  CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
  $

While on fedora:29:

  $ /tmp/build/perf/perf -vv | grep slang
                libslang: [ on  ]  # HAVE_SLANG_SUPPORT
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep slang
  	libslang.so.2 =&gt; /lib64/libslang.so.2 (0x00007f8eb11a7000)
  $ grep slang /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-libslang=1
  feature-libslang-include-subdir=1
  $
  $ cat /etc/fedora-release
  Fedora release 29 (Twenty Nine)
  $

The feature-libslang-include-subdir=1 line is because the 'gettid()'
test was added to test-all.c as the new glibc has an implementation for
that, so we soon should have it not failing, i.e. should be the common
case soon. Perhaps I should move it out till it becomes the norm...

[ Upstream commit da2019633f0b5c105ce658aada333422d8cb28fe ]

Some compilers will complain when using a member of a struct to
initialize another member, in the same struct initialization.

For instance:

  debian:8      Debian clang version 3.5.0-10 (tags/RELEASE_350/final) (based on LLVM 3.5.0)
  oraclelinux:7 clang version 3.4.2 (tags/RELEASE_34/dot2-final)

Produce:

  ui/browsers/annotate.c:104:12: error: variable 'ops' is uninitialized when used within its own initialization [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
                                              (!ops.current_entry ||
                                                ^~~
  1 error generated.

So use an extra variable, initialized just before that struct, to have
the value used in the expressions used to init two of the struct
members.

added to the scripts menu. The scripts get the same arguments as 'perf

<title>perf ui browser: Fix ui popup argv browser for many entries</title>

<id>59c24980dffbea2106fe65e64ea77834d657ee9c</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit
on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with
pointer types in the -&gt;seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly
with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit
the display function correctly.

Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser.

Committer testing:

1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines

2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options
   in the menu

3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash:

  # perf report --samples 1

Fix the argv ui browser code to correctly display more entries than fit
on the screen without crashing. The problem was some type confusion with
pointer types in the -&gt;seek function. Do the argv arithmetic correctly
with char ** pointers. Also add some asserts to find overruns and limit
the display function correctly.

Then finally remove a workaround for this in the res sample browser.

Committer testing:

1) Resize the x terminal to have just some 5 lines

2) Use 'perf report --samples 1' to activate the sample browser options
   in the menu

3) Press ENTER, this will cause the crash:

  # perf report --samples 1

Don't overflow array when the scripts directory is too large, or the
script file name is too long.

<title>perf report: Implement browsing of individual samples</title>

Now 'perf report' can show whole time periods with 'perf script', but
the user still has to find individual samples of interest manually.

It would be expensive and complicated to search for the right samples in
the whole perf file. Typically users only need to look at a small number
of samples for useful analysis.

Also the full scripts tend to show samples of all CPUs and all threads
mixed up, which can be very confusing on larger systems.

Add a new --samples option to save a small random number of samples per
hist entry.

Use a reservoir sample technique to select a representatve number of
samples.

Then allow browsing the samples using 'perf script' as part of the hist
entry context menu. This automatically adds the right filters, so only
the thread or cpu of the sample is displayed. Then we use less' search
functionality to directly jump the to the time stamp of the selected
sample.

It uses different menus for assembler and source display.  Assembler
needs xed installed and source needs debuginfo.

Currently it only supports as many samples as fit on the screen due to
some limitations in the slang ui code.

<title>perf report: Support builtin perf script in scripts menu</title>

The scripts menu traditionally only showed custom perf scripts.

Allow to run standard perf script with useful default options too.

- Normal perf script
- perf script with assembler (needs xed installed)
- perf script with source code output (needs debuginfo)
- perf script with custom arguments

Then we automatically select the right options to display the
information in the perf.data file.

For example with -b display branch contexts.

It's not easily possible to check for xed's existence in advance.  perf
script usually gives sensible error messages when it's not available.
