Current _sort__sym_cmp() function is used for comparing symbols between
two hist entries on symbol, symbol_from and symbol_to sort keys. Those
functions pass addresses of symbols but it's meaningless since it gets
over-written inside of the _sort__sym_cmp function to a start address of
the symbol. So just get rid of them.
This might cause a difference than prior output for branch stacks since
it seems not using start address of the symbol but branch address.
However AFAICS it'd be same as it gets overwritten anyway.
Also remove redundant part of code in sort__sym_cmp().

Based on perf report/top/scripts browser integration idea from acme.
This will enable user to runtime switch the data file, when this option
is selected, it will popup all the legal data files in current working
directory, and the filename selected by user is saved in the global
variable "input_name", and a new key 'K_SWITCH_INPUT_DATA' will be
passed back to the built-in command which will perform the switch.
This initial version only enables it for 'perf report'.
v2: rebase to latest 'perf/core' branch (6e1d4dd) of acme's perf tree

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.
Changelog[v2]:
[Michael Ellerman] Use __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ and avoid PRIu64
format specifier - which as Jiri Olsa pointed out, breaks on x86-64.

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
noploop for 10 seconds
1.000084113,2378775498,cycles
2.000245798,2391056897,cycles
3.000354445,2392089414,cycles

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:
# Running 5x5-bw-thread, "perf bench numa mem -p 5 -t 5 -P 512 -s 20 -zZ0q --thp 1"

Sometimes a test is problematic for some reason and one wants to skip it,
for instance:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok
2: detect open syscall event : Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus : Ok
4: read samples using the mmap interface : Ok
5: parse events tests : Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: function is_writable_pte not defined
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
So now we can use -s/--skip while the problematic tests are being fixed,
allowing us to test all the other entries:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test -s 5
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok
2: detect open syscall event : Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus : Ok
4: read samples using the mmap interface : Ok
5: parse events tests : Skip (user override)
6: x86 rdpmc test : Ok
7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields : Ok
8: Test perf pmu format parsing : Ok
9: Test dso data interface : Ok
10: roundtrip evsel->name check : Ok
11: Check parsing of sched tracepoints fields : Ok
12: Generate and check syscalls:sys_enter_open event fields: Ok
13: struct perf_event_attr setup : Ok
14: Test matching and linking mutliple hists : Ok
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok

Running the check-perf-trace scripts causes segfaults in both the Perl
and Python cases:
# perf script record check-perf-trace
# perf script -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/check-perf-trace.py
trace_begin
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The reason is that the 'pevent' field was added to
perf_scripting_context but it wasn't hooked up with an actual pevent in
either case, so when one of the 'common' fields is accessed (in
util/trace-event-parse.c:get_common_fields()), pevent->events tries to
dereference a NULL pointer.
This sets the pevent field when the scripting context is set up.
