perf utils: Readlink /proc/self/exe to find the perf binary (2017-03-27 15:37:54 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

New features:

- Handle inline functions in callchains (Jin Yao)

- Enable sorting by srcline as key (Milian Wolff)

Fixes:

- Fix no_size logic in addr_filter__resolve_kernel_syms() in the
auxtrace code (Adrian Hunter)

- Fix some thread refcount leaks in 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix divide by zero when calculating percent for an event in a group in
the annotate by source line code (Taeung Song)

- build-id files now aren't anymore symlinks, their parent directories
are, so readlink the later (Taeung Song)

- Assorted fixes for null termination problems, mostly related to
readlink, detected by valgrind (Tommi Rantala)

Infrastructure:

- Make vfs_getname probe point logic in 'perf trace' more robust
wrt length of pathname (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Remove unused 'prefix' parameter from builtins main functions (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Show 'perf list sdt' option in man page (Ravi Bangoria)

Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with and
without libelf support, objtool where it is supported and samples/bpf/, ditto.
Where clang is available, it is also used to build perf with/without libelf.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH, and the android one, and those
may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages,
available and being used so far on just a few, like
debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising
tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands
with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the
sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as
expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/
with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of
features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each
of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration
infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.
