Previously, when you want perf-stat to output the statistics in
csv mode, no information of the noise will be printed out.
For example right now we output this --repeat information:
./perf stat -r3 -x, sleep 1
1.164789,task-clock
8,context-switches
0,CPU-migrations
219,page-faults
3337800,cycles
With this patch, the output will be appended with an additional
entry for the noise value:
./perf stat -r3 -x, sleep 1
1.164789,task-clock,3.75%
8,context-switches,75.00%
0,CPU-migrations,100.00%
219,page-faults,0.00%
3337800,cycles,3.36%

So that the parent sort dimension can be registered twice: once
if we add it as an explicit sort dimension (-s parent) and twice
if we request a parent filter (-p foo).
We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this
allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p"
option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of
"-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered
parent.

As for newt ui, don't display entries that have been marked
as ignored.
The practical current effect of this is to make parent
filtering really working. Before, entries that were ignored
were given a null parent but were still displayed. This
resulted in some weird effects:

Add "caller/callee" option to support inverted butterfly report,
in the inverted report (with caller option), the call graph start
from the callee's ancestor. Users can use such view to catch system's
performance bottleneck from a sysprof like view. Using this option
with specified sort order like pid gives us high level view of call
graph statistics.
Also add "-G" alias for inverted call graph.

To build a statically linked version of the perf tool all needed
libraries must be added in the correct order to get the symbols
resolved. Currently this is broken when, e.g. python or newt
support is enabled -- libpython needs libpthread which is an
unconditional link dependency of the perf tool; libslang needs
libm, another unconditional dependency. To solve the problem in
the long run without the need to keep track of transitive
library dependencies, simply make the linker look at the EXTLIBS
multiple times until it has all symbols resolved.

Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.
The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.
Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.)
This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.
Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.
builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.
Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.

Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.
With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.
So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.
Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.
In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.
Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.
Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.
Example:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1
WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.
Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.
Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.
If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

not found, continuing without symbols
Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted, check
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.
As no suitable kallsyms nor vmlinux was found, kernel samples can't be
resolved.
Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
perf tools: Fix sample type size calculation in 32 bits archs
profile: Use vzalloc() rather than vmalloc() & memset()
The shift used here to count the number of bits set in
the mask doesn't work above the low part for archs that
are not 64 bits.
Fix the constant used for the shift.
This fixes a 32-bit perf top failure reported by Eric Dumazet:
Can't parse sample, err = -14
Can't parse sample, err = -14
