Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt:

perf utils: Check verbose flag properly

2017-02-20T14:35:54+00:00

It now can have negative value to suppress the message entirely.  So it
needs to check it being positive.

perf unwind: Fix looking up dwarf unwind stack info

2017-01-18T15:29:52+00:00

Using perf with call graph method dwarf fails to provide backtrace
support for stripped binary even though .gnu_debuglink points to *.dbg
flavor with properly populated debug symbols.

Problem is reproduced on ARM (v7, v8), kernels 3.14.y, 4.4.y and
4.10.rc3.  Perf is configured with libunwind, and unwind dwarf support
[1]. Test code (stress_bt.c) can be found on [2].

Running (explicitly disable other unwinding methods):

  $ gcc -g -o stress_bt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unwind-tables \
	-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables stress_bt.c
  $ perf record -N --call-graph dwarf ./stress_bt
  $ perf report

results in properly generated call graph. Stripping the binary and running
it results with missing call graph. Expected result is to have call graph:

  $ gcc -g -o stress_bt -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-unwind-tables \
	  -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables stress_bt.c
  $ objcopy --only-keep-debug stress_bt stress_bt.dbg
  $ objcopy --strip-debug stress_bt
  $ objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=stress_bt.dbg stress_bt
  $ perf record -N --call-graph dwarf ./stress_bt
  $ perf report

Problem is that perf doesn't try to read symbols pointed by gnu
debuglink.  Patch adds checking, and reading of the symbols from
debuglink and symsrc.  Order of the check is to first check within dso,
then check whether symsrc is defined and try to read from it. Finally,
debuglink is checked. Default locations of debug files are discussed in
[3] and [4]. Comments on RFC are on [5].

perf symbols: Do not open device files

2016-09-20T19:20:21+00:00

The dso__read_binary_type_filename gets the dso's file name to open. We
need to check it for regular file before trying to open it, otherwise we
might get stuck with device file.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

2016-07-12T18:19:47+00:00

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf tools: Allow to reset open files counter

2016-06-30T21:27:44+00:00

I hit a bug when running test suite without forking
each test (-F option):

  $ perf test -F dso
   8: Test dso data read                                       : Ok
   9: Test dso data cache                                      : FAILED!
  10: Test dso data reopen                                     : FAILED!

The reason the session file limit is set just once for
perf process so we need to reset it for each test,
otherwise wrong limit is taken into account.

perf tools: Set buildid dir under symfs when --symfs is provided

2016-05-20T14:43:58+00:00

This patch moves the reference of buildid dir to 'symfs/.debug' and
skips the local buildid dir when '--symfs' is given, so that every
single file opened by perf is relative to symfs directory now.

perf symbols: Store vdso buildid unconditionally

2016-05-17T02:11:45+00:00

When unwinding callchains on a different machine, vdso info should be
available so the unwind process won't be interrupted if address falls
into vdso region. But in most cases, the addresses of sample events are
not in vdso range, the buildid of a zero hit vdso won't be stored into
perf.data.

This patch stores vdso buildid regardless of whether the vdso is hit or
not.

Use the existing SBUILD_ID_SIZE macro instead of the equivalent
BUILD_ID_SIZE * 2 + 1 expression for allocating a buffer for build-id
strings.
