There 2 problems when reading symbols files:
* It doesn't report any errors even if when users specify symbol
files which don't exist with --kallsyms or --vmlinux. The result
just shows the address without symbols, which is not what is expected.
So it's better to report errors and exit the program.
* When using command perf report --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms with a
non-root user, symbols are resolved. Then select one symbol and
annotate it, it reports the error as the following:
Can't annotate __clear_user: No vmlinux file with build id xxx was
found.
The problem is caused by reading /proc/kcore without access permission.
/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability to access, so it needs to
change access permission to allow a specific user to read /proc/kcore or
use root to execute the perf command.
This patch is to report errors when symbol files specified by users
don't exist. And check access permission of /proc/kcore when reading it.

Currently all the -p option PID arguments tasks values get aggregated
and printed as single values.
Adding --per-tasks option to print values per task.
$ perf stat -e cycles,instructions --per-thread -p 30190,30242

The --per-thread option is only available when monitoring via -p -t options.

The 'trace' tool was accepting any names passed and just looking if
syscalls returned via the raw_syscalls:* tracepoints were in that list,
leading to it accepting perf events and then never finding any, as those
are not valid syscall names, confusing users.
Fix it by checking each entry in the list using audit_name_to_syscall,
telling the user which entries are invalid and suggesting where to look
for valid syscall names.
E.g:
[root@zoo ~]# trace -e open,foo,bar,close,baz
Error: Invalid syscall bar, baz, foo
Hint: try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
Hint: and: 'man syscalls'
[root@zoo ~]#

Fix failure to probe events on arm, the problem was introduced by commit
5a51fcd1f3 ("perf probe: Skip kernel symbols which is out of .text").
For some architectures, the '_etext' label is not in the .text section
(in the .notes section for arm/arm64). Labels out of the .text section
are not loaded as symbols and we get a zero value when looking up its
addresses, which causes all events to be wrongly skipped.
This patch skips checking the text address range when failing to get the
address of '_etext' and thus fixes the problem.
The problem can be reproduced on arm as follows:
# perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
generic_perform_write+0 is out of .text, skip it.
Probe point 'generic_perform_write' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
After this patch:
# perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
Added new event:
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:generic_perform_write -aR sleep 1
