The hpp helpers do same job for each field so it was implemented as
macro in order to access those fields easily.  But it gets cumbersome
to maintain a large function in a macro as the function grows. Factor
it out to a function with a little helper macro to access field.

We print several '__u64' quantities using '%llu'. On powerpc, we by
default include '<asm-generic/int-l64.h> which results in __u64 being an
unsigned long. This causes compile warnings which are treated as errors
due to '-Werror'.

By defining __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ we include <asm-generic/int-ll64.h>
and define __u64 as unsigned long long.

Changelog[v2]:
	[Michael Ellerman] Use __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ and avoid PRIu64

This patch adds a new printing mode for perf stat.  It allows interval
printing. That means perf stat can now print event deltas at regular
time interval.  This is useful to detect phases in programs.

The -I option enables interval printing. It expects an interval duration
in milliseconds. Minimum is 100ms. Once, activated perf stat prints
events deltas since last printout. All modes are supported.

$ perf stat -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds
 #           time             counts events
      1.000109853      2,388,560,546 cycles
      2.000262846      2,393,332,358 cycles
      3.000354131      2,393,176,537 cycles
      4.000439503      2,393,203,790 cycles
      5.000527075      2,393,167,675 cycles
      6.000609052      2,393,203,670 cycles
      7.000691082      2,393,175,678 cycles

The output format makes it easy to feed into a plotting program such as
gnuplot when the -I option is used in combination with the -x option:

$ perf stat -x, -I 1000 -e cycles noploop 10
noploop for 10 seconds
1.000084113,2378775498,cycles

Add a suite of NUMA performance benchmarks.

The goal was simulate the behavior and access patterns of real NUMA
workloads, via a wide range of parameters, so this tool goes well
beyond simple bzero() measurements that most NUMA micro-benchmarks use:

 - It processes the data and creates a chain of data dependencies,
   like a real workload would. Neither the compiler, nor the
   kernel (via KSM and other optimizations) nor the CPU can
   eliminate parts of the workload.

 - It randomizes the initial state and also randomizes the target
   addresses of the processing - it's not a simple forward scan
   of addresses.

 - It provides flexible options to set process, thread and memory
   relationship information: -G sets "global" memory shared between
   all test processes, -P sets "process" memory shared by all
   threads of a process and -T sets "thread" private memory.

 - There's a NUMA convergence monitoring and convergence latency
   measurement option via -c and -m.

 - Micro-sleeps and synchronization can be injected to provoke lock
   contention and scheduling, via the -u and -S options. This simulates
   IO and contention.

 - The -x option instructs the workload to 'perturb' itself artificially
   every N seconds, by moving to the first and last CPU of the system
   periodically. This way the stability of convergence equilibrium and
   the number of steps taken for the scheduler to reach equilibrium again
   can be measured.

 - The amount of work can be specified via the -l loop count, and/or
   via a -s seconds-timeout value.

 - CPU and node memory binding options, to test hard binding scenarios.
   THP can be turned on and off via madvise() calls.

 - Live reporting of convergence progress in an 'at glance' output format.
   Printing of convergence and deconvergence events.

The 'perf bench numa mem -a' option will start an array of about 30
individual tests that will each output such measurements:

Fixing the dynamic array format field parsing.

Currently the event_read_fields function could segfault while parsing
dynamic array other than string type. The reason is the event->pevent
does not need to be set and gets dereferenced unconditionaly.

Also adding proper initialization of field->elementsize based on the
parsed dynamic type.

Sometimes a test is problematic for some reason and one wants to skip it,
for instance:

[root@sandy ~]# perf test
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                        : Ok
   2: detect open syscall event                              : Ok
   3: detect open syscall event on all cpus                  : Ok
   4: read samples using the mmap interface                  : Ok
   5: parse events tests                                     :  Warning: bad op token {
    Warning: bad op token {
    Warning: bad op token {
    Warning: bad op token {
    Warning: bad op token {
    Warning: function is_writable_pte not defined
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

So now we can use -s/--skip while the problematic tests are being fixed,
allowing us to test all the other entries:

  [root@sandy ~]# perf test -s 5
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                        : Ok
   2: detect open syscall event                              : Ok
   3: detect open syscall event on all cpus                  : Ok
   4: read samples using the mmap interface                  : Ok
   5: parse events tests                                     : Skip (user override)
   6: x86 rdpmc test                                         : Ok
   7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields     : Ok
   8: Test perf pmu format parsing                           : Ok

  10: roundtrip evsel->name check                            : Ok
  11: Check parsing of sched tracepoints fields              : Ok
  12: Generate and check syscalls:sys_enter_open event fields: Ok
  13: struct perf_event_attr setup                           : Ok

The tracepoints used by the workqueue-stats script no longer exist so
trying to run the script results in:

  # perf script record workqueue-stats
  invalid or unsupported event: 'workqueue:workqueue_creation'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

So remove the script until it can be reworked using the new workqueue
tracepoints.

Running the check-perf-trace scripts causes segfaults in both the Perl
and Python cases:

  # perf script record check-perf-trace
  # perf script -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/check-perf-trace.py
  trace_begin
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The reason is that the 'pevent' field was added to
perf_scripting_context but it wasn't hooked up with an actual pevent in
either case, so when one of the 'common' fields is accessed (in
util/trace-event-parse.c:get_common_fields()), pevent->events tries to
dereference a NULL pointer.

This sets the pevent field when the scripting context is set up.

Only display the trace info if using the default event display.  When
invoking scripts we assume they have complete control of what's
displayed so we shouldn't unconditionally display the trace info, and
when generating scripts we don't expect to see trace info obscuring the
output message.

For some reason the libtraceevent tracepoint-parsing code is missing
the FIELD_IS_SIGNED flag-setting code, which causes problems for the
Perl trace event binding at least, since it ends up unable to
recognize negative numbers.

Things like checking for negative return values therefore fail, causing
scripts like rwtop to instead interpret the negative return value as a
large positive value, which in turn get added to e.g. read totals with
insanely invalid results.

So set the FIELD_IS_SIGNED flag for tracepoint events that specify
"signed:1".

Some would just call exit() anyway right after calling die() and the
main routine doesn't have to call it, just return the exit value.
