Use the new generic sample events reordering from perf sched,
this drops the need of multiplexing the buffers on record time,
improving the scalability of perf sched.

The sample events recorded by perf record are not time ordered
because we have one buffer per cpu for each event (even demultiplexed
per task/per cpu for task bound events). But when we read trace events
we want them to be ordered by time because many state machines are
involved.

There are currently two ways perf tools deal with that:

- use -M to multiplex every buffers (perf sched, perf kmem)
  But this creates a lot of contention in SMP machines on
  record time.

- use a post-processing time reordering (perf timechart, perf lock)
  The reordering used by timechart is simple but doesn't scale well
  with huge flow of events, in terms of performance and memory use
  (unusable with perf lock for example).
  Perf lock has its own samples reordering that flushes its memory
  use in a regular basis and that uses a sorting based on the
  previous event queued (a new event to be queued is close to the
  previous one most of the time).

This patch proposes to export perf lock's samples reordering facility
to the session layer that reads the events. So if a tool wants to
get ordered sample events, it needs to set its
struct perf_event_ops::ordered_samples to true and that's it.

This prepares tracing based perf tools to get rid of the need to
use buffers multiplexing (-M) or to implement their own
reordering.

Also lower the flush period to 2 as it's sufficient already.

The parse_single_tracepoint_event() was setting some attributes
before it validated the event was indeed a tracepoint event. This
caused problems with other initialization routines like in the

Previous state machine of perf lock was really broken.
This patch improves it a little.

This patch prepares the list of state machine that represents
lock sequences for each threads.

These state machines can be one of these sequences:

      1) acquire -> acquired -> release
      2) acquire -> contended -> acquired -> release
      3) acquire (w/ try) -> release
      4) acquire (w/ read) -> release

The case of 4) is a little special.
Double acquire of read lock is allowed, so the state machine
counts read lock number, and permits double acquire and release.

But, things are not so simple. Something in my model is still wrong.
I counted the number of lock instances with bad sequence,
and ratio is like this (case of tracing whoami): bad:233, total:2279

version 2:
 * threads are now identified with tid, not pid
 * prepared SEQ_STATE_READ_ACQUIRED for read lock.
 * bunch of struct lock_seq_stat is now linked list
 * debug information enhanced (this have to be removed someday)
   e.g.
     | === output for debug===
     |
     | bad:233, total:2279
     | bad rate:0.000000
     | histogram of events caused bad sequence
     |     acquire: 165
     |    acquired: 0
     |   contended: 0
     |     release: 68

Trace events are mostly used for tracing and then require not to
be lost when possible. As opposite to hardware events that really
require to trigger after a given sample period, trace events mostly
need to trigger everytime.

It is a frustrating experience to trace with perf and realize we
lost a lot of events because we forgot the "-c 1" option.

Then default sample_period to 1 for trace events but let the user
override it.

Checking if a tracing field is an array with a dynamic length
requires to check the field type and seek the "__data_loc"
string that prepends the actual type, as can be found in a trace
event format file:

	field:__data_loc char[] name;	offset:16;	size:4;	signed:1;

But we actually use strcmp() to check if the field type fully
matches "__data_loc", which may fail as we trip over the rest of
the type.

To fix this, use strncmp to only check if it starts with
"__data_loc".

Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the
record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g.

 $ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i -

In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require
the user to type and remember more than necessary.

This patch allows the user to accomplish the same thing without
specifying the separate record/report steps or the pipe.  So the
same command as above can be accomplished more simply as:

 $ perf trace rwtop 5

Notice that the '-i -' and '-o -' aren't required in this case -
they're added internally, and that any extra arguments are
passed along to the report script (but not to the record
script).

The overall effect is that any of the scripts listed in 'perf
trace -l' can now be used directly in live mode, with the
expected arguments, by simply specifying the script and args to
'perf trace'.

A couple of scripts, one in Python and the other in Perl, that
demonstrate 'live mode' tracing.  For each, the output of the
perf event stream is fed continuously to the script, which
continuously aggregates the data and reports the current results
every 3 seconds, or at the optionally specified interval.  After
the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared
and the cycle begins anew.

To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace
record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report'
step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i:

 $ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i -

Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and
Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the
screen.

Bypasses the tracing_data perf header code and replaces it with
a synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes
the same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a
pipe.

The tracing data is pretty large, and this patch doesn't attempt
to break it down into component events.  The tracing_data event
itself doesn't actually contain the tracing data, rather it
arranges for the event processing code to skip over it after
it's read, using the skip return value added to the event
processing loop in a previous patch.

Bypasses the attr perf header code and replaces it with a
synthesized event and processing function that accomplishes the
same thing, used when reading/writing perf data to/from a pipe.

Making the attrs into events allows them to be streamed over a
pipe along with the rest of the header data (in later patches).
It also paves the way to allowing events to be added and removed
from perf sessions dynamically.

Adds special treatment for stdin - if the user specifies '-i -'
to perf trace, the intent is that the event stream be read from
stdin rather than from a disk file.

The actual handling of the '-' filename is done by the session;
this just adds a signal handler to stop reporting, and turns off
interference by the pager.

Adds special treatment for stdout - if the user specifies '-o -'
to perf record, the intent is that the event stream be written
to stdout rather than to a disk file.

Also, redirect stdout of forked child to stderr - in pipe mode,
stdout of the forked child interferes with the stdout perf
stream, so redirect it to stderr where it can still be seen but
won't be mixed in with the perf output.

This patch makes several changes to allow the perf event stream
to be sent and received over a pipe:

- adds pipe-specific versions of the header read/write code

- adds pipe-specific version of the event processing code

- adds a range of event types to be used for header or other
  pseudo events, above the range used by the kernel

- checks the return value of event handlers, which they can use
  to skip over large events during event processing rather than actually
  reading them into event objects.

- unifies the multiple do_read() functions and updates its
  users.

Note that none of these changes affect the existing perf data
file format or processing - this code only comes into play if
perf output is sent to stdout (or is read from stdin).

Parsing an option from the command line with OPT_BOOLEAN on a
bool data type would not work on a big-endian machine due to the
manner in which the boolean was being cast into an int and
incremented. For example, running 'perf probe --list' on a
PowerPC machine would fail to properly set the list_events bool
and would therefore print out the usage information and
terminate.

This patch makes OPT_BOOLEAN work as expected with a bool
datatype. For cases where the original OPT_BOOLEAN was
intentionally being used to increment an int each time it was
passed in on the command line, this patch introduces OPT_INCR
with the old behaviour of OPT_BOOLEAN (the verbose variable is
currently the only such example of this).

I have reviewed every use of OPT_BOOLEAN to verify that a true
C99 bool was passed. Where integers were used, I verified that
they were only being used for boolean logic and changed them to
bools to ensure that they would not be mistakenly used as ints.
The major exception was the verbose variable which now uses
OPT_INCR instead of OPT_BOOLEAN.
