I.e. don't exit with the signal number, instead set the signal handler
to the default one and then raise it again.

Noticed while trying to dump the stack at segfaults in the 'perf test'
forked process used to run each test, that inspects signal info at
each test.

Now -g/--call-graph option supports how to display callchain values.
Possible values are 'percent', 'period' and 'count'.  The percent is
same as before and it's the default behavior.  The period displays the
raw period value rather than the percentage.  The count displays the
number of occurrences.

bool-returning function.

while if -1 is replaced by true, the diff is empty.

Use unique temporary files when copying to buildid dir to prevent races
in case multiple instances are trying to copy same file. This is done by

- creating template in form <path>/.<filename>.XXXXXX where the suffix is
  used by mkstemp() to create unique file
- change file mode
- copy content
- if successful link temp file to target file
- unlink temp file

At this point the only file left at target path should be the desired
one either created by us or other instance if we raced. This should also
prevent not yet fully copied files to be visible to to other perf
instances that could try to parse them.

On top of that slow_copyfile no longer needs to deal with file mode when
creating file since temporary file is already created and mode is set.

Succesfully tested by myself by running perf record, archive and reading
the data on other system and by running perf buildid-cache on perf
binary itself. I also did revert fix from 0635b0f7 that to exposes
previously fixed race with EEXIST and recreator test passed sucessfully.

  perf tools: Move callchain config from record_opts to callchain_param

Now all callchains stuff stays in callchain_param struct, which adds its
dependency for evsel.c object and breaks python perf.so usage
(unresolved callchain_param).

Moving callchain_param into callchain.c and adding it into
python-ext-sources unleash just another dependency hell, so I ended up
adding callchain_param into util.c for now.

The following snippet
	V = malloc(S);
	if (!V) { }
	sprintf(V, ...)

Can be easily changed to a one line:

	if (asprintf(&V, ...) < 0) { }

Those readn/writen functions are to ensure read/write does I/O for
a given size exactly.  But ion() - its implementation - does not
handle in case it returns prematurely due to a signal.  As it's not
an error itself so just retry the operation.

Add a function to return the value of
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

This will be used to determine default values for mmap size because perf
is not subject to mmap limits when perf_event_paranoid is less than
zero.

The code in builtin-kvm.c to generate filename for perf-kvm is useful to
other command such as builtin-diff.

This patch move the related code form builtin-kvm.c to util/util.c and
wrap them in a function named get_filename_for_perf_kvm.

Adding filename__read_str util function to read
text file and return it in the char array.

The interface is:
  int filename__read_str(const char *filename, char **buf, size_t *sizep)

  Returns 0/-1 if the read suceeded/fail respectively.

  buf  - place to store the data pointer
  size - place to store data size

v2 change:
  - better error handling suggested by Namhyung Kim.
