So that we can reuse things like the id to attr lookup routine
(perf_evlist__id2evsel) that uses a hash table instead of the linear
lookup done in the older perf_header_attr routines, etc.

Also to make evsels/evlist more pervasive an API, simplyfing using the
emerging perf lib.

The kernel refuses mmapping an event with the inherit flag set for
something that is systemwide (cpu == -1), and the evsel layer got this
reversed at some point, fix it.

The symtom was that the --pid and --tid parameters for 'perf record' and
'perf top' returned with -EINVAL, like:

 # /tmp/build-perf/perf record -v -fo/tmp/perf.data -p 1042
   Warning:  ... trying to fall back to cpu-clock-ticks

   Fatal: failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)

This patch changes the way perf stat prints event names at the end of a
run. Until now, it was trying to reconstruct the event name from its
encoding. The problem is that it would only print generic events without
their modifiers (u, k, pp).

This patch saves the event name as passed by the user in the evsel
struct and uses it to print the final event name.

This would also work in case perf is linked with a library (such as
libpfm4) which provides full PMU event tables.

This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups
(cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor
multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to
monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of
cgroup names.

The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool
finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It
then passes that file descriptor to the kernel.

Example:

$ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1
 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

      2,368,667,414  cycles                   test1
      2,369,661,459  cycles

Introduced in: c52b12ed, when this sequence:

  count[0] = count[1] = count[2] = 0;

Was replaced with:

  aggr->val = 0;

Which is equivalent to zeroing just the first entry in the 'count'
array.

Fix it by zeroing the three entries with:

  aggr->val = aggr->ena = aggr->run = 0;

To avoid linking more stuff in the python binding I'm working on, future
csets will make the sample type be taken from the evsel itself, but for
that we need to first have one file per cpu and per sample_type, not a
single perf.data file.

Adopting the new model used in 'perf record', where we don't have a map
per thread per cpu, instead we have an mmap per cpu, established on the
first fd for that cpu and ask the kernel using the
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl to send events for the other fds on that
cpu for the one with the mmap.

The methods moved from perf_evsel to perf_evlist, but for easing review
they were modified in place, in evsel.c, the next patch will move the
migrated methods to evlist.c.

With this 'perf top' now uses the same mmap model used by 'perf record'
and the next patches will make 'perf record' use these new routines,
establishing a common codebase for both tools.

And a test for it:

[acme@felicio linux]$ perf test
 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok
 2: detect open syscall event: Ok
 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
[acme@felicio linux]$

Translating C the test does:

1. generates different number of open syscalls on each CPU
   by using sched_setaffinity
2. Verifies that the expected number of events is generated
   on each CPU

It works as expected.

Since commit 69aad6f1(perf tools: Introduce event selectors), only
perf_event_attr::type and ::config are passed to event selector, which
makes perf tool not work correctly.

For example, PEBS does not work because perf_event_attr::precise_ip is
not passed to the syscall.

While writing the first user of the routines created from the ad-hoc
routines in the existing builtins I noticed that the resulting set of
calls was too long, reduce it by doing some best effort allocations.

Tools that need to operate on multiple threads and cpus should pre-allocate
enough resources by explicitely calling the perf_evsel__alloc_{fd,counters}
methods.

The users have to pass a confiruged perf->evsel.attr field, which is already
usable after perf_evsel__new (constructor) time, using defaults.

Comes out of the ad-hoc routines in builtin-stat, that now uses it.
