Add a negative test to test__checkevent_pmu_events() to get lots of
coverage of the negative case, ie. when the modifier is not specified.

This commit adds support for a new modifier "D", which requests that the
event, or group of events, be pinned to the PMU.

The "p" modifier is already taken for precise, and "P" may be used in
future to mean "fully precise".

So we use "D", which stands for pinneD - and looks like a padlock, or if
you're using the ":D" syntax perf smiles at you.

This is an oft-requested feature from our HW folks, who want to be able
to run a large number of events, but also want 100% accurate results for
instructions per cycle.

Comparison of results with and without pinning:

$ perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}:D' -e cycles,instructions,...

  79,590,480,683 cycles         #  0.000 GHz
 166,123,716,524 instructions   #  2.09  insns per cycle
                                #  0.11  stalled cycles per insn

  79,352,134,463 cycles         #  0.000 GHz                     [11.11%]
 165,178,301,818 instructions   #  2.08  insns per cycle
                                #  0.11  stalled cycles per insn [11.13%]

As you can see although perf does a very good job of scaling the values
in the non-pinned case, there is some small discrepancy.

The patch is fairly straight forward, the one detail is that we need to
make sure we only request pinning for the group leader when we have a
group.

perf kvm stat currently requires back to back record and report commands
to see stats. e.g,.

  perf kvm stat record -p $pid -- sleep 1
  perf kvm stat report

This is inconvenvient for on box monitoring of a VM. This patch
introduces a 'live' mode that in effect combines the record plus report
into one command. e.g., to monitor a single VM:

  perf kvm stat live -p $pid

or all VMs:

  perf kvm stat live

Same stats options for the record+report path work with the live mode.
Display rate defaults to 1 second and can be changed using the -d
option.

v4:
- address comments from Xiao -- verify_vcpu check should not look at
  processors on line for the host, prune configurable options.
- set attr->{mmap,comm,task} to 0 - don't need task events so trim events
  we have to deal with
- better control of time for queue event flushing to reduce frequency of
  "Timestamp below last timeslice flush" failures.

v3:
updated to use existing tracepoint parsing code

v2:
removed ABSTIME arg from timerfd_settime as mentioned by Namhyung
only call perf_kvm__handle_stdin when poll returns activity.

because they come from kallsyms, that has only its start address, with

Annotation with /proc/kcore is possible so the logic is adjusted to
allow it.  The main difference is that /proc/kcore had no symbols so the
parsing logic needed a tweak to read jump offsets.

The other difference is that objdump cannot always read from kcore.
That seems to be a bug with objdump.

A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must

relocation are no longer needed.

Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and
so is not done.

The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX

In order to use kernel maps to read object code, those maps must be
adjusted to map to the dso file offset.  Because lazy-initialization is
used, that is not done until symbols are loaded.  However the maps are
first used by thread__find_addr_map() before symbols are loaded.  So
this patch changes thread__find_addr() to "load" kernel maps before
using them.

When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic
linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the
workload.  Especially with smaller kernels and using counter
multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors.

Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer
periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which
is relatively short.  If many groups are multiplexing the one group
seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all
groups, may see a significant error.

Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it
is so different from the rest.

One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first
sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support
intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not
necessarily the same as a useful startup delay.

This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for
the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms

Here's a simple example:

perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
             3,721 page-faults
...

If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less:

perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
             2,823 page-faults
...

So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

Symbol offset is one of the fields that can be requested in perf-script.
Currently you do not get that data when requested. e.g.,

perf script -f comm,tid,pid,time,cpu,sym,symoff,ip

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period
value offered by lower layers.

There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on
event group:

Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.

And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.

Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to
actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
read format.

Example:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 36  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
  # Event count (approx.): 12585593

For sample with sample type PERF_SAMPLE_READ the period value is stored
in the 'struct sample_read'.

Moreover if the read format has PERF_FORMAT_GROUP, the 'struct
sample_read' contains period values for all events in the group (for
which the sample's event is a leader).

We deliver separated samples for all the values contained within the
'struct sample_read'.

This will be helpful for PERF_FORMAT_GROUP samples where we need to
store ID related period value for each event.
