No need to have "get_srcline", plain hist_entry__srcline() is enough and
shorter.

Since we have 'struct addr_map_symbol' and the srcline sort order keys
all operate on those, make the code more compact by introducing a
function that receives a pointer to such struct and expands the
arguments to map__srcline().

It is not read as commonly as 'page_size', so it makes sense to read it
lazily, caching its value when it is first read.

Less files open unconditionally at startup.

In 39b12f781271 ("perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from
vmlinux") we special case MAP__FUNCTION maps inconsistently, the first
test tests the map type while the following tests added by this patch
don't do that, be consistent and elliminate this special case.

Add DSO size to perf report/top sort output list.

This includes adding a map__size fn to map.h, which is
approximately equal to the DSO data file_size:

<title>perf tools: Fix comment for sort__* compare functions</title>

In commit 2f15bd8c6c6e ("perf tools: Fix "Command" sort_entry's cmp and
collapse function") we switched from pointer to string comparison.

But failed to remove related comments. Removing them and adding another
one to warn before pointer comparison in here.

<title>perf tools: Use ui__error() for reporting --fields errors</title>

So that we can get it working for TUI, where using just pr_err() would
end up making the message emitted to stderr to be erased by the TUI exit
routine restoring the terminal to its previous state.

Now we can see that trying to use a tracepoint field as one of the
--field entries isn't working:

  # perf top --stdio --no-children -e syscalls:sys_enter_write --fields pid,sym,count
  Error:
  Unknown --fields key: `count'
   Usage: perf top [&lt;options&gt;]

        --fields &lt;key[,keys...]&gt;
                          output field(s): overhead, period, sample plus all of sort keys

<title>perf report: Fix a wrong offset issue when using /proc/kcore</title>
<updated>2018-01-08T14:11:57+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=935f5a9d4500020879858c9224c98dfabf16101d'/>
<id>935f5a9d4500020879858c9224c98dfabf16101d</id>
<content type='text'>
When a valid vmlinux is not found, 'perf report' falls back to look at
/proc/kcore. In this case, it will report the impossible large offset.

For example:

  # perf record -b -e cycles:k find /etc/ &gt; /dev/null
  # perf report --stdio --branch-history

    22.77%  _vm_normal_page+18446603336221188162
            |
            ---page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188324
               page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188487 (cycles:5)
               unlock_page_memcg +18446603336221188096
               page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188327 (cycles:1)

The issue is the value which is passed to parameter 'addr' in
__get_srcline() is the objdump address. It's not correct if we calculate
the offset by using 'addr - sym-&gt;start'.

This patch creates a new parameter 'ip' in __get_srcline(). It is not
converted to objdump address.

With this patch, the perf report output is:

    22.77%  _vm_normal_page+66
            |
            ---page_remove_rmap +228
               page_remove_rmap +391 (cycles:5)
               unlock_page_memcg +0
               page_remove_rmap +231 (cycles:1)
               page_remove_rmap +236

Committer testing:

Make sure you get any valid vmlinux out of the way, using '-v' on the
'perf report' case and deleting it from places where perf searches them,
like your kernel build dir and the build-id cache, in ~/.debug/.
