+ * The power_pmu.get_constraint function returns a 64-bit value and

+ *
+ * The value and mask are divided up into (non-overlapping) bitfields
+ * of three different types:
+ *
+ * Select field: this expresses the constraint that some set of bits
+ * in MMCR* needs to be set to a specific value for this event.  For a
+ * select field, the mask contains 1s in every bit of the field, and
+ * the value contains a unique value for each possible setting of the
+ * MMCR* bits.  The constraint checking code will ensure that two events
+ * that set the same field in their masks have the same value in their
+ * value dwords.
+ *
+ * Add field: this expresses the constraint that there can be at most
+ * N events in a particular class.  A field of k bits can be used for
+ * N <= 2^(k-1) - 1.  The mask has the most significant bit of the field
+ * set (and the other bits 0), and the value has only the least significant
+ * bit of the field set.  In addition, the 'add_fields' and 'test_adder'
+ * in the struct power_pmu for this processor come into play.  The
+ * add_fields value contains 1 in the LSB of the field, and the
+ * test_adder contains 2^(k-1) - 1 - N in the field.
+ *
+ * NAND field: this expresses the constraint that you may not have events
+ * in all of a set of classes.  (For example, on PPC970, you can't select
+ * events from the FPU, ISU and IDU simultaneously, although any two are
+ * possible.)  For N classes, the field is N+1 bits wide, and each class
+ * is assigned one bit from the least-significant N bits.  The mask has
+ * only the most-significant bit set, and the value has only the bit
+ * for the event's class set.  The test_adder has the least significant
+ * bit set in the field.
+ *
+ * If an event is not subject to the constraint expressed by a particular
+ * field, then it will have 0 in both the mask and value for that field.

+          types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
+          suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
+          kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts

+          used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
+
+          The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of

+SYNOPSIS

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+With no options and no COMMAND given, the synopsis of the 'perf'
+command and a list of the most commonly used perf commands are printed
+on the standard output.
+
+If the option '--all' or '-a' is given, then all available commands are
+printed on the standard output.
+
+If a perf command is named, a manual page for that command is brought
+up. The 'man' program is used by default for this purpose, but this
+can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.
+
+Note that `perf --help ...` is identical to `perf help ...` because the
+former is internally converted into the latter.
+

+#
+# Define FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES if your are on a system which succeeds

+# Define NO_OPENSSL environment variable if you do not have OpenSSL.
+# This also implies MOZILLA_SHA1.

+# Define NO_D_INO_IN_DIRENT if you don't have d_ino in your struct dirent.
+#
+# Define NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT if your platform defines DT_UNKNOWN but lacks
+# d_type in struct dirent (latest Cygwin -- will be fixed soonish).
+#
+# Define NO_C99_FORMAT if your formatted IO functions (printf/scanf et.al.)
+# do not support the 'size specifiers' introduced by C99, namely ll, hh,
+# j, z, t. (representing long long int, char, intmax_t, size_t, ptrdiff_t).
+# some C compilers supported these specifiers prior to C99 as an extension.
+#
+# Define NO_STRCASESTR if you don't have strcasestr.
+#
+# Define NO_MEMMEM if you don't have memmem.
+#
+# Define NO_STRTOUMAX if you don't have strtoumax in the C library.

+# Define NO_SETENV if you don't have setenv in the C library.
+#
+# Define NO_UNSETENV if you don't have unsetenv in the C library.
+#
+# Define NO_MKDTEMP if you don't have mkdtemp in the C library.

+# Define NO_SYS_SELECT_H if you don't have sys/select.h.
+#
+# Define NO_SYMLINK_HEAD if you never want .perf/HEAD to be a symbolic link.
+# Enable it on Windows.  By default, symrefs are still used.
+#
+# Define NO_SVN_TESTS if you want to skip time-consuming SVN interoperability
+# tests.  These tests take up a significant amount of the total test time
+# but are not needed unless you plan to talk to SVN repos.
+#
+# Define NO_FINK if you are building on Darwin/Mac OS X, have Fink

+#
+# Define NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY if accessing objects in pack files is

+#
+# Define NO_TRUSTABLE_FILEMODE if your filesystem may claim to support
+# the executable mode bit, but doesn't really do so.

+# Define NO_ICONV if your libc does not properly support iconv.

+#
+# Define NO_DEFLATE_BOUND if your zlib does not have deflateBound.
+#
+# Define NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER if your gcc does not like "-R/path/lib"
+# that tells runtime paths to dynamic libraries;
+# "-Wl,-rpath=/path/lib" is used instead.
+#
+# Define USE_NSEC below if you want perf to care about sub-second file mtimes
+# and ctimes. Note that you need recent glibc (at least 2.2.4) for this, and
+# it will BREAK YOUR LOCAL DIFFS! show-diff and anything using it will likely
+# randomly break unless your underlying filesystem supports those sub-second
+# times (my ext3 doesn't).

+# "st_ctim"
+#
+# Define NO_NSEC if your "struct stat" does not have "st_ctim.tv_nsec"
+# available.  This automatically turns USE_NSEC off.

+# Define USE_STDEV below if you want perf to care about the underlying device
+# change being considered an inode change from the update-index perspective.

+Performance Counters for Linux
+------------------------------
+
+Performance counters are special hardware registers available on most modern
+CPUs. These registers count the number of certain types of hw events: such
+as instructions executed, cachemisses suffered, or branches mis-predicted -
+without slowing down the kernel or applications. These registers can also
+trigger interrupts when a threshold number of events have passed - and can
+thus be used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
+
+The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of these
+hardware capabilities. It provides per task and per CPU counters, counter
+groups, and it provides event capabilities on top of those.  It
+provides "virtual" 64-bit counters, regardless of the width of the
+underlying hardware counters.
+
+Performance counters are accessed via special file descriptors.
+There's one file descriptor per virtual counter used.
+
+The special file descriptor is opened via the perf_counter_open()
+system call:
+
+   int sys_perf_counter_open(struct perf_counter_hw_event *hw_event_uptr,
+                             pid_t pid, int cpu, int group_fd,
+                             unsigned long flags);
+
+The syscall returns the new fd. The fd can be used via the normal
+VFS system calls: read() can be used to read the counter, fcntl()
+can be used to set the blocking mode, etc.
+
+Multiple counters can be kept open at a time, and the counters
+can be poll()ed.
+
+When creating a new counter fd, 'perf_counter_hw_event' is:
+
+struct perf_counter_hw_event {
+        /*
+         * The MSB of the config word signifies if the rest contains cpu
+         * specific (raw) counter configuration data, if unset, the next
+         * 7 bits are an event type and the rest of the bits are the event
+         * identifier.
+         */
+        __u64                   config;
+
+        __u64                   irq_period;

+                                pinned         :  1, /* must always be on PMU */

+                                comm           :  1, /* include comm data     */

+
+        __u32                   extra_config_len;

+
+        __u64                   __reserved_2;
+        __u64                   __reserved_3;
+};
+
+The 'config' field specifies what the counter should count.  It
+is divided into 3 bit-fields:
+
+raw_type: 1 bit   (most significant bit)        0x8000_0000_0000_0000
+type:     7 bits  (next most significant)       0x7f00_0000_0000_0000
+event_id: 56 bits (least significant)           0x00ff_ffff_ffff_ffff
+
+If 'raw_type' is 1, then the counter will count a hardware event
+specified by the remaining 63 bits of event_config.  The encoding is
+machine-specific.
+
+If 'raw_type' is 0, then the 'type' field says what kind of counter
+this is, with the following encoding:
+
+enum perf_event_types {
+        PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE              = 0,
+        PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE              = 1,
+        PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT            = 2,
+};
+
+A counter of PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE will count the hardware event
+specified by 'event_id':
+
+/*
+ * Generalized performance counter event types, used by the hw_event.event_id
+ * parameter of the sys_perf_counter_open() syscall:
+ */
+enum hw_event_ids {
+        /*
+         * Common hardware events, generalized by the kernel:
+         */
+        PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES                = 0,
+        PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS              = 1,
+        PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES  = 2,
+        PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES              = 3,
+        PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS       = 4,
+        PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_MISSES     = 5,
+        PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES                = 6,
+};
+
+These are standardized types of events that work relatively uniformly
+on all CPUs that implement Performance Counters support under Linux,
+although there may be variations (e.g., different CPUs might count
+cache references and misses at different levels of the cache hierarchy).
+If a CPU is not able to count the selected event, then the system call
+will return -EINVAL.
+
+More hw_event_types are supported as well, but they are CPU-specific
+and accessed as raw events.  For example, to count "External bus
+cycles while bus lock signal asserted" events on Intel Core CPUs, pass
+in a 0x4064 event_id value and set hw_event.raw_type to 1.
+
+A counter of type PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE will count one of the available
+software events, selected by 'event_id':
+
+/*
+ * Special "software" counters provided by the kernel, even if the hardware
+ * does not support performance counters. These counters measure various
+ * physical and sw events of the kernel (and allow the profiling of them as
+ * well):
+ */
+enum sw_event_ids {
+        PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK         = 0,
+        PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK                = 1,
+        PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS               = 2,
+        PERF_COUNT_SW_CONTEXT_SWITCHES  = 3,
+        PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_MIGRATIONS    = 4,
+        PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MIN   = 5,
+        PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MAJ   = 6,
+};
+
+Counters of the type PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT are available when the ftrace event
+tracer is available, and event_id values can be obtained from
+/debug/tracing/events/*/*/id
+
+
+Counters come in two flavours: counting counters and sampling
+counters.  A "counting" counter is one that is used for counting the
+number of events that occur, and is characterised by having
+irq_period = 0.
+
+
+A read() on a counter returns the current value of the counter and possible
+additional values as specified by 'read_format', each value is a u64 (8 bytes)
+in size.
+
+/*
+ * Bits that can be set in hw_event.read_format to request that
+ * reads on the counter should return the indicated quantities,
+ * in increasing order of bit value, after the counter value.
+ */
+enum perf_counter_read_format {
+        PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED  =  1,
+        PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING  =  2,
+};
+
+Using these additional values one can establish the overcommit ratio for a
+particular counter allowing one to take the round-robin scheduling effect
+into account.
+
+
+A "sampling" counter is one that is set up to generate an interrupt
+every N events, where N is given by 'irq_period'.  A sampling counter
+has irq_period > 0. The record_type controls what data is recorded on each
+interrupt:
+
+/*
+ * Bits that can be set in hw_event.record_type to request information
+ * in the overflow packets.
+ */
+enum perf_counter_record_format {
+        PERF_RECORD_IP          = 1U << 0,
+        PERF_RECORD_TID         = 1U << 1,
+        PERF_RECORD_TIME        = 1U << 2,
+        PERF_RECORD_ADDR        = 1U << 3,
+        PERF_RECORD_GROUP       = 1U << 4,
+        PERF_RECORD_CALLCHAIN   = 1U << 5,
+};
+
+Such (and other) events will be recorded in a ring-buffer, which is
+available to user-space using mmap() (see below).
+
+The 'disabled' bit specifies whether the counter starts out disabled
+or enabled.  If it is initially disabled, it can be enabled by ioctl
+or prctl (see below).
+
+The 'inherit' bit, if set, specifies that this counter should count
+events on descendant tasks as well as the task specified.  This only
+applies to new descendents, not to any existing descendents at the
+time the counter is created (nor to any new descendents of existing
+descendents).
+
+The 'pinned' bit, if set, specifies that the counter should always be
+on the CPU if at all possible.  It only applies to hardware counters
+and only to group leaders.  If a pinned counter cannot be put onto the
+CPU (e.g. because there are not enough hardware counters or because of
+a conflict with some other event), then the counter goes into an
+'error' state, where reads return end-of-file (i.e. read() returns 0)
+until the counter is subsequently enabled or disabled.
+
+The 'exclusive' bit, if set, specifies that when this counter's group
+is on the CPU, it should be the only group using the CPU's counters.
+In future, this will allow sophisticated monitoring programs to supply
+extra configuration information via 'extra_config_len' to exploit
+advanced features of the CPU's Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) that are
+not otherwise accessible and that might disrupt other hardware
+counters.
+
+The 'exclude_user', 'exclude_kernel' and 'exclude_hv' bits provide a
+way to request that counting of events be restricted to times when the
+CPU is in user, kernel and/or hypervisor mode.
+
+The 'mmap' and 'munmap' bits allow recording of PROT_EXEC mmap/munmap
+operations, these can be used to relate userspace IP addresses to actual
+code, even after the mapping (or even the whole process) is gone,
+these events are recorded in the ring-buffer (see below).
+
+The 'comm' bit allows tracking of process comm data on process creation.
+This too is recorded in the ring-buffer (see below).
+
+The 'pid' parameter to the perf_counter_open() system call allows the
+counter to be specific to a task:
+
+ pid == 0: if the pid parameter is zero, the counter is attached to the
+ current task.
+
+ pid > 0: the counter is attached to a specific task (if the current task
+ has sufficient privilege to do so)
+
+ pid < 0: all tasks are counted (per cpu counters)
+
+The 'cpu' parameter allows a counter to be made specific to a CPU:
+
+ cpu >= 0: the counter is restricted to a specific CPU
+ cpu == -1: the counter counts on all CPUs
+
+(Note: the combination of 'pid == -1' and 'cpu == -1' is not valid.)
+
+A 'pid > 0' and 'cpu == -1' counter is a per task counter that counts
+events of that task and 'follows' that task to whatever CPU the task
+gets schedule to. Per task counters can be created by any user, for
+their own tasks.
+
+A 'pid == -1' and 'cpu == x' counter is a per CPU counter that counts
+all events on CPU-x. Per CPU counters need CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege.
+
+The 'flags' parameter is currently unused and must be zero.
+
+The 'group_fd' parameter allows counter "groups" to be set up.  A
+counter group has one counter which is the group "leader".  The leader
+is created first, with group_fd = -1 in the perf_counter_open call
+that creates it.  The rest of the group members are created
+subsequently, with group_fd giving the fd of the group leader.
+(A single counter on its own is created with group_fd = -1 and is
+considered to be a group with only 1 member.)
+
+A counter group is scheduled onto the CPU as a unit, that is, it will
+only be put onto the CPU if all of the counters in the group can be
+put onto the CPU.  This means that the values of the member counters
+can be meaningfully compared, added, divided (to get ratios), etc.,
+with each other, since they have counted events for the same set of
+executed instructions.
+
+
+Like stated, asynchronous events, like counter overflow or PROT_EXEC mmap
+tracking are logged into a ring-buffer. This ring-buffer is created and
+accessed through mmap().
+
+The mmap size should be 1+2^n pages, where the first page is a meta-data page
+(struct perf_counter_mmap_page) that contains various bits of information such
+as where the ring-buffer head is.
+
+/*
+ * Structure of the page that can be mapped via mmap
+ */
+struct perf_counter_mmap_page {
+        __u32   version;                /* version number of this structure */
+        __u32   compat_version;         /* lowest version this is compat with */

+
+Notification of new events is possible through poll()/select()/epoll() and
+fcntl() managing signals.
+
+Normally a notification is generated for every page filled, however one can
+additionally set perf_counter_hw_event.wakeup_events to generate one every
+so many counter overflow events.
+
+Future work will include a splice() interface to the ring-buffer.
+
+
+Counters can be enabled and disabled in two ways: via ioctl and via
+prctl.  When a counter is disabled, it doesn't count or generate
+events but does continue to exist and maintain its count value.
+
+An individual counter or counter group can be enabled with
+
+        ioctl(fd, PERF_COUNTER_IOC_ENABLE);
+
+or disabled with
+
+        ioctl(fd, PERF_COUNTER_IOC_DISABLE);
+
+Enabling or disabling the leader of a group enables or disables the
+whole group; that is, while the group leader is disabled, none of the
+counters in the group will count.  Enabling or disabling a member of a
+group other than the leader only affects that counter - disabling an
+non-leader stops that counter from counting but doesn't affect any
+other counter.
+
+Additionally, non-inherited overflow counters can use
+
+        ioctl(fd, PERF_COUNTER_IOC_REFRESH, nr);
+
+to enable a counter for 'nr' events, after which it gets disabled again.
+
+A process can enable or disable all the counter groups that are
+attached to it, using prctl:
+
+        prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_ENABLE);
+
+        prctl(PR_TASK_PERF_COUNTERS_DISABLE);
+
+This applies to all counters on the current process, whether created
+by this process or by another, and doesn't affect any counters that
+this process has created on other processes.  It only enables or
+disables the group leaders, not any other members in the groups.

+ * This function implements the Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm to
+ * calculate a distance between strings.
+ *
+ * Basically, it says how many letters need to be swapped, substituted,
+ * deleted from, or added to string1, at least, to get string2.
+ *
+ * The idea is to build a distance matrix for the substrings of both
+ * strings.  To avoid a large space complexity, only the last three rows
+ * are kept in memory (if swaps had the same or higher cost as one deletion
+ * plus one insertion, only two rows would be needed).
+ *
+ * At any stage, "i + 1" denotes the length of the current substring of
+ * string1 that the distance is calculated for.
+ *
+ * row2 holds the current row, row1 the previous row (i.e. for the substring
+ * of string1 of length "i"), and row0 the row before that.
+ *
+ * In other words, at the start of the big loop, row2[j + 1] contains the
+ * Damerau-Levenshtein distance between the substring of string1 of length
+ * "i" and the substring of string2 of length "j + 1".
+ *
+ * All the big loop does is determine the partial minimum-cost paths.
+ *
+ * It does so by calculating the costs of the path ending in characters
+ * i (in string1) and j (in string2), respectively, given that the last
+ * operation is a substition, a swap, a deletion, or an insertion.
+ *
+ * This implementation allows the costs to be weighted:
+ *
+ * - w (as in "sWap")
+ * - s (as in "Substitution")
+ * - a (for insertion, AKA "Add")
+ * - d (as in "Deletion")
+ *
+ * Note that this algorithm calculates a distance _iff_ d == a.

+  To use rbtrees you'll have to implement your own insert and search cores.
+  This will avoid us to use callbacks and to drop drammatically performances.
+  I know it's not the cleaner way,  but in C (not in C++) to get
+  performances and genericity...
+
+  Some example of insert and search follows here. The search is a plain
+  normal search over an ordered tree. The insert instead must be implemented
+  int two steps: as first thing the code must insert the element in
+  order as a red leaf in the tree, then the support library function
+  rb_insert_color() must be called. Such function will do the
+  not trivial work to rebalance the rbtree if necessary.

+#ifndef STRBUF_H
+#define STRBUF_H
+
+/*
+ * Strbuf's can be use in many ways: as a byte array, or to store arbitrary
+ * long, overflow safe strings.
+ *
+ * Strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
+ *
+ * 1. the ->buf member is always malloc-ed, hence strbuf's can be used to
+ *    build complex strings/buffers whose final size isn't easily known.
+ *
+ *    It is NOT legal to copy the ->buf pointer away.
+ *    `strbuf_detach' is the operation that detachs a buffer from its shell
+ *    while keeping the shell valid wrt its invariants.
+ *
+ * 2. the ->buf member is a byte array that has at least ->len + 1 bytes
+ *    allocated. The extra byte is used to store a '\0', allowing the ->buf
+ *    member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
+ *    invariant is preserved.
+ *
+ *    Note that it is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it
+ *    that way:
+ *
+ *    strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE);
+ *       ... Here, the memory array starting at sb->buf, and of length
+ *       ... strbuf_avail(sb) is all yours, and you are sure that
+ *       ... strbuf_avail(sb) is at least SOME_SIZE.
+ *    strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
+ *
+ *    Of course, SOME_OTHER_SIZE must be smaller or equal to strbuf_avail(sb).
+ *
+ *    Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
+ *    missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
+ *
+ *    XXX: do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size ->alloc - 1
+ *         even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
+ *         "private" member that should not be messed with.
