'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.

Example usage:
    perf sched record -- sleep 1
    perf sched timehist

By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait
time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the
task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run
time for the task:

            time    cpu  task name             wait time  sch delay   run time

Currently we display the cacheline list sorted on remote HITMs by
default.

The problem is that they might not be always counted and 'perf c2c
report' displays an empty output. Thus it's more convenient to display
and sort the cacheline list based on the total of HITMs and have the
best change to see data in the default report run.

Another step in supporting cross annotation.

The arch specific tables are put in:

   tools/perf/arch/$ARCH/annotation/instructions.c

which, so far, just plug instructions to a bunch of parsers/formatters,
but may have more as the need arises.

This is an alternative implementation to a previous attempt made by Ravi
Bangoria.

This is to cope with an ARM specific kludge introduced in the original
patch supporting ARM annotation, cfef25b8 ("perf annotate: ARM
support") that made functions with a '+' in its name to be skipped when
processing call instructions.

With this patchkit it should be possible to collect a perf.data file on
a ARM machine and then annotate it on a x86 workstation and have those
ARM kludges used.

Introduce a 'struct arch', where arch specific stuff will live, starting
with objdump's choice of comment delimitation character, that is '#' in
x86 while a ';' in arm.

This has some bits and pieces from a patch submitted by Ravi.

If the branch is 100% predicted then the "predicted" is hidden.
Similarly, if there is no branch tsx abort, the "abort" is hidden.
There is only cycles shown (cycle is supported on skylake platform,
older platform would be 0).

If no iterations, the "iterations" is hidden.

Create some branch counters in per callchain list entry. Each counter
is for a branch flag. For example, predicted_count counts all the
*predicted* branches. The counters get updated by processing the
callchain cursor nodes.

It also provides functions to retrieve or print the values of counters
in callchain list.

Besides the counting for branch flags, it also counts and returns the
average number of iterations.

Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing,
this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to
indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag.

Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what
the branch flag it has.

The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It
would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next
steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations.

For example:

Before remove_loops(),
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800

After remove_loops()
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800

The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations
(from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1).

iterations = removed number + 1;
average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples

This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple
buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good
enough.

To write config items to a particular config file, we should know where
is each config section and item from.

Current setting functionality of perf-config use autogenerating way by
overwriting collected config items to a config file.

For example, when collecting config items from user and system config
files (i.e. ~/.perfconfig and $(sysconf)/perfconfig), perf_config_set
can contain both user and system config items.  So we should know where
each value is from to avoid merging user and system config items on user
config file.

config file (i.e. user or system config file) or modify config key-value
pairs in a config file.  For the syntax examples:

    perf config [<file-option>] [section.name[=value] ...]

e.g. You can set the ui.show-headers to false with

    # perf config ui.show-headers=false

If you want to add or modify several config items, you can do like

    # perf config annotate.show_nr_jumps=false kmem.default=slab

when parsing config key-value pairs arguments in the near future.

- Always show the task's COMM in 'perf sched map -v' (Namhyung Kim)

- Fix hierarchy column counts in the perf hist browser (top, report), avoiding
  showing nothing after pressing the RIGHT key a number of times (Namhyung Kim)

Infrastructure:

- Support cascading options in libsubcmd and use it to share common options in
  'perf sched' subcommands (Namhyung Kim)

- Avoid worker cacheline bouncing in 'perf bench futex' (Davidlohr Bueso)

- Sanitize numeric parameters in 'perf bench futex' (Davidlohr Bueso)

In ac12f676 ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we
started using the parse_branch_str() function from one of the files used
in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail:

  # perf test -v python

  #

I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the
pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this
regression to pass, sigh.

Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using
ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use
pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.

Now:

  # perf test python
