Rename EVENT_ATTR() to PMU_EVENT_ATTR() and make it global so it is
available to all architectures.

Further to allow architectures flexibility, have PMU_EVENT_ATTR() pass
in the variable name as a parameter.

Add report.group config option for setting default value of event
group view.  It affects the report output only if perf.data contains
event group info.

A user can write .perfconfig file like below to enable group view by
default:

  $ cat ~/.perfconfig
  [report]
  group = true

And it can be disabled through command line:

  $ perf report --no-group

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.

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

Commit "perf: Add 'perf bench numa mem'..." added a NUMA performance
benchmark to perf. Make this optional and test for required
dependencies.

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:

The callers of this function (perf_event__process_tracing_data) already
handles a negative value return as error, so just use pr_err() to log
the problem and return -1 instead of panic'ing.
