Start the split-out of the feature check code by adding a list of features to be
tested, and rules to process that list by building its matching feature-check
file in config/feature-checks/test-<feature>.c.
Add 'hello' as the initial feature.
This structure will allow us to build split-out feature checks in parallel and
thus speed up feature detection dramatically.
No change in functionality: no feature check is used by the build rules yet.

Pull perf/urgent fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
* The libaudit test was failing in some systems due to a unescaped newline, fix
it so that the 'trace' tool can be built in such systems.
* Fix installation of libexec components.
* Add default handler for mmap2 events so that tools that don't explicitely
define an MMAP2 handler don't crash, fix from David Ahern.
* Fix to find line information for probe list, from Masami Hiramatsu.
* Set child_pid after perf_evlist__prepare_workload(), fix from Namhyung Kim.
* Fix infinite loop on invalid perf.data file, from Namhyung Kim.

Fix to find the correct (as much as possible) line information for
listing probes. Without this fix, perf probe --list action will show
incorrect line information as below;
probe:getname_flags (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:-89@x86/include/asm/current.h)
probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:-2054@x86/include/asm/current.h)
The minus line number is obviously wrong, and current.h is not related
to the probe point. Deeper investigation discovered that there were 2
issues related to this bug, and minor typos too.
The 1st issue is the rack of considering about nested inlined functions,
which causes the wrong (relative) line number.
The 2nd issue is that the dwarf line info is not correct at those
points. It points 14th line of current.h.
Since it seems that the line info includes somewhat unreliable
information, this fixes perf to try to find correct line information
from both of debuginfo and line info as below.
1) Probe address is the entry of a function instance
In this case, the line is set as the function declared line.
2) Probe address is the entry of an expanded inline function block
In this case, the line is set as the function call-site line.
This means that the line number is relative from the entry line
of caller function (which can be an inlined function if nested)
3) Probe address is inside a function instance or an expanded
inline function block
In this case, perf probe queries the line number from lineinfo
and verify the function declared file is same as the file name
queried from lineinfo.
If the file name is different, it is a failure case. The probe
address is shown as symbol+offset.
4) Probe address is not in the any function instance
This is a failure case, the probe address is shown as
symbol+offset.
With this fix, perf probe -l shows correct probe lines as below;
probe:getname_flags (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:2@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:4@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c)
Changes at v2:
- Fix typos in the function comments. (Thanks to Namhyung Kim)
- Use die_find_top_inlinefunc instead of die_find_inlinefunc_next.

In ubuntu systems the libaudit test was always failing due to the
newline in the printf call not being escaped, which somehow didn't
prevented the test from working as expected on other systems, such
as fedora18.
Fix it by removing the newline, as this is just a test, that program is
just a compile test.
The error messages, obtained using 'make V=1':
CHK libaudit
<stdin>: In function ‘main’:
<stdin>:5:9: error: missing terminating " character [-Werror]
<stdin>:5:2: error: missing terminating " character
<stdin>:6:1: error: missing terminating " character [-Werror]
<stdin>:6:1: error: missing terminating " character
<stdin>:7:2: error: expected expression before ‘return’
<stdin>:8:1: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
config/Makefile:241: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev
After this change the test works as expected in all systems tested and the
'trace' tool is built when the needed devel packages are installed.

Add a generic qualifier for transaction events, as a new sample
type that returns a flag word. This is particularly useful
for qualifying aborts: to distinguish aborts which happen
due to asynchronous events (like conflicts caused by another
CPU) versus instructions that lead to an abort.
The tuning strategies are very different for those cases,
so it's important to distinguish them easily and early.
Since it's inconvenient and inflexible to filter for this
in the kernel we report all the events out and allow
some post processing in user space.
The flags are based on the Intel TSX events, but should be fairly
generic and mostly applicable to other HTM architectures too. In addition
to various flag words there's also reserved space to report an
program supplied abort code. For TSX this is used to distinguish specific
classes of aborts, like a lock busy abort when doing lock elision.
Flags:
Elision and generic transactions (ELISION vs TRANSACTION)
(HLE vs RTM on TSX; IBM etc. would likely only use TRANSACTION)
Aborts caused by current thread vs aborts caused by others (SYNC vs ASYNC)
Retryable transaction (RETRY)
Conflicts with other threads (CONFLICT)
Transaction write capacity overflow (CAPACITY WRITE)
Transaction read capacity overflow (CAPACITY READ)
Transactions implicitely aborted can also return an abort code.
This can be used to signal specific events to the profiler. A common
case is abort on lock busy in a RTM eliding library (code 0xff)
To handle this case we include the TSX abort code
Common example aborts in TSX would be:
- Data conflict with another thread on memory read.
Flags: TRANSACTION|ASYNC|CONFLICT
- executing a WRMSR in a transaction. Flags: TRANSACTION|SYNC
- HLE transaction in user space is too large
Flags: ELISION|SYNC|CAPACITY-WRITE
The only flag that is somewhat TSX specific is ELISION.
This adds the perf core glue needed for reporting the new flag word out.
v2: Add MEM/MISC
v3: Move transaction to the end
v4: Separate capacity-read/write and remove misc
v5: Remove _SAMPLE. Move abort flags to 32bit. Rename
transaction to txn

Add support to perf stat to print the basic transactional execution statistics:
Total cycles, Cycles in Transaction, Cycles in aborted transsactions
using the in_tx and in_tx_checkpoint qualifiers.
Transaction Starts and Elision Starts, to compute the average transaction
length.
This is a reasonable overview over the success of the transactions.
Also support architectures that have a transaction aborted cycles
counter like POWER8. Since that is awkward to handle in the kernel
abstract handle both cases here.
Enable with a new --transaction / -T option.
This requires measuring these events in a group, since they depend on each
other.
This is implemented by using TM sysfs events exported by the kernel
