Here arch_skip_callchain_idx calls thread__find_symbol and which
invokes thread__find_map with uninitialised "addr_location".
Snippet:

thread__find_symbol(thread, PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER, ip, &al);

Recent change with commit 0dd5041c9a0eaf8c ("perf addr_location: Add
init/exit/copy functions") , introduced "maps__zput" in the function
thread__find_map. This could result in segfault while accessing
uninitialised map from "struct addr_location". Fix this by adding
addr_location__init and addr_location__exit in arch_skip_callchain_idx.

Fixes: 0dd5041c9a0eaf8c ("perf addr_location: Add init/exit/copy functions")

perf map: Add accessor for dso

Later changes will add reference count checking for struct map, with
dso being the most frequently accessed variable. Add an accessor so
that the reference count check is only necessary in one place.

Additional changes:
- add a dso variable to avoid repeated map__dso calls.
- in builtin-mem.c dump_raw_samples, code only partially tested for
dso == NULL. Make the possibility of NULL consistent.
- in thread.c thread__memcpy fix use of spaces and use tabs.

It uses several structs but don't explicitely includes the headers where

them now so that they continue to build.

perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering when return address is in a register

For powerpc64, perf will filter out the second entry in the callchain,
i.e. the LR value, if the return address of the function corresponding
to the probed location has already been saved on its caller's stack.

The state of the return address is determined using debug information.
At any point within a function, if the return address is already saved
somewhere, a DWARF expression can tell us about its location. If the
return address in still in LR only, no DWARF expression would exist.

Typically, the instructions in a function's prologue first copy the LR
value to R0 and then pushes R0 on to the stack. If LR has already been
copied to R0 but R0 is yet to be pushed to the stack, we can still get a
DWARF expression that says that the return address is in R0. This is
indicating that getting a DWARF expression for the return address does
not guarantee the fact that it has already been saved on the stack.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering

For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by
determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using
DWARF debug information.

For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug
information for the location corresponding to the program counter value,
i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise,
perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the
callchain incorrectly.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28).
Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet
allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be
filtered out.

perf report powerpc: Fix crash if callchain is empty

For some cases, the callchain provided by the kernel may be empty. So,
the callchain ip filtering code will cause a crash if we do not check
whether the struct ip_callchain pointer is NULL before accessing any
members.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

# perf record -b -e cycles:u ls

perf thread: Introduce thread__find_symbol()

Out of thread__find_addr_location(..., MAP__FUNCTION, ...), idea here is to
continue removing references to MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} ahead of
getting both types of symbols in the same rbtree, as various places do
two lookups, looking first at MAP__FUNCTION, then at MAP__VARIABLE.

So thread__find_symbol() will eventually do just that, and 'struct
symbol' will have the symbol type, for code that cares about that.

perf tools powerpc: Use dwfl_report_elf() instead of offline.

dwfl_report_offline() works only when libraries are prelinked.

Replace dwfl_report_offline() with dwfl_report_elf() so we correctly
extract debug info even from libraries that are not prelinked.

perf tools powerpc: Cache the DWARF debug info

Cache the DWARF debug info for DSO so we don't have to rebuild it for each
address in the DSO.

Note that dso__new() uses calloc() so don't need to set dso->dwfl to NULL.

Looks like util/debug.h was indirectly included before and is no longer
included now. pr_debug is left undefined and the build of perf tool
fails on Powerpc.

perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug info

When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess
entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases
but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine
when the entries are needed.

Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the
return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored.

If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs
in the call-graphs.

Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries
should be ignored when building call-graphs.

TODO: For split-debug info objects like glibc, we can only determine
the call-frame-address only when both .eh_frame and .debug_info
sections are available. We should be able to determin the CFA
even without the .eh_frame section.

Fix suggested by Anton Blanchard.

Thanks to valuable input on DWARF debug information from Ulrich Weigand.
