The dynamic sort key requires event name but specifying full event name
is rather inconvenient. This patch adds more ways to identify the event
in a more compact way.
1. If session has just one event, event name can be omitted.
2. Events can be accessed by index preceded by a percent sign.
3. A part of the name can be used, if it's not ambiguous. The partial
name should not contain ':' in it.
4. Full system + event name is still used, it should contain ':'.
So in the below example all does same thing:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1
$ perf report -s next_pid,next_comm
$ perf report -s %1.next_pid,%1.next_comm
$ perf report -s switch.next_pid,switch.next_comm
$ perf report -s sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm

The 'trace' sort key is to show tracepoint event output using either
print fmt or plugin. For example sched_switch event (using plugin) will
show output like below:
# perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a usleep 10
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (69 samples) ]
#
$ perf report -s trace --stdio

Note that the 'trace' sort key works only for tracepoint events. If
it's used to other type of events, just "N/A" will be printed.

Each tracepoint event has format string for print to improve
readability. Try to parse the output and match the field name. If it
finds one, use that for the result. If not, fallbacks to the original
output.
For example, sort on kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags looks like below:
(Note: libtraceevent plugins are not installed on my system. They might
affect the output below)
Before:
# Overhead Command gfp_flags

Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted.
Check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.
As no suitable kallsyms nor vmlinux was found, kernel samples
can't be resolved.
Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

Which is confusing and can be solved by just adding the kernel mmap record,
which will also remove that warning about the data size field being equal to
zero, after generating the mmap record:

Introducing the 'stat' feature to mark a perf.data as created by the
'perf stat record' command. It contains no data.
It's needed so that the report tools (report/script) can differentiate
sampling data from counting data, because they need to be treated in a
different way.
In the future it might be used to store the version of the stat storage
system used.

It'll serve as a base event for additional event attributes details,
that are not part of the attr event.
At the moment this event is just a dummy one without any specific
functionality. The type value will distinguish the update event details.
It'll come in the following patches.
The idea for this event is to be extensible for any update that the
event might need in the future.
