Building perfcounter tools raises the following warnings:
builtin-record.c: In function ‘atexit_header’:
builtin-record.c:464: erreur: ignoring return value of ‘pwrite’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
builtin-record.c: In function ‘__cmd_record’:

builtin-report.c: In function ‘__cmd_report’:
builtin-report.c:1403: erreur: ignoring return value of ‘read’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
This patch handles these IO return values.

On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.
Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.
The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__". The other changes are:
* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
to kill two remaining warnings.

Make it easier to use parent filtering - default to a filtered

dont display it by default.

Instead of the ambigious 'call' naming use the much more
specific 'parent' naming:
- rename --call <regex> to --parent <regex>
- rename --sort call to --sort parent
- rename [unmatched] to [other] - to signal that this is not
an error but the inverse set
Also add pagefaults to the default parent-symbol pattern too,
as it's a 'syscall overhead category' in a sense.

Yong Wang reported the following compiler warning:
builtin-report.c: In function 'process_overflow_event':
builtin-report.c:984: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size
Which happens because we try to print ->ips[] out with a limited
format, losing the high 32 bits. Print it out using %016Lx instead.

Take advantage of call-graph percounter sampling/recording to
display a non-trivial histogram: the true, collapsed/summarized
cost measurement, on a per system call total overhead basis:
aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf record -g -a -f ~/hackbench 10
aldebaran:~/linux/linux/tools/perf> ./perf report -s symbol --syscalls | head -10
#
# (3536 samples)
#
# Overhead Symbol
# ........ ......
#
40.75% [k] sys_write
40.21% [k] sys_read
4.44% [k] do_nmi
...
This is done by accounting each (reliable) call-chain that chains back
to a given system call to that system call function.
[ So in the above example we can see that hackbench spends about 40% of
its total time somewhere in sys_write() and 40% somewhere in
sys_read(), the rest of the time is spent in user-space. The time
is not spent in sys_write() _itself_ but in one of its many child
functions. ]
Or, a recording of a (source files are already in the page-cache) kernel build:
$ perf record -g -m 512 -f -- make -j32 kernel
$ perf report -s s --syscalls | grep '\[k\]' | grep -v nmi
4.14% [k] do_page_fault
1.20% [k] sys_write
1.10% [k] sys_open
0.63% [k] sys_exit_group
0.48% [k] smp_apic_timer_interrupt
0.37% [k] sys_read
0.37% [k] sys_execve
0.20% [k] sys_mmap
0.18% [k] sys_close
0.14% [k] sys_munmap
0.13% [k] sys_poll
0.09% [k] sys_newstat
0.07% [k] sys_clone
0.06% [k] sys_newfstat
0.05% [k] sys_access
0.05% [k] schedule
Shows the true total cost of each syscall variant that gets used
during a kernel build. This profile reveals it that pagefaults are
the costliest, followed by read()/write().
An interesting detail: timer interrupts cost 0.5% - or 0.5 seconds
per 100 seconds of kernel build-time. (this was done with HZ=1000)
The summary is done in 'perf report', i.e. in the post-processing
stage - so once we have a good call-graph recording, this type of
non-trivial high-level analysis becomes possible.

A build error slipped in:
builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’
Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

This patch adds support for profiling JIT generated code to 'perf

symbols map that is parsed when looking and displaying symbols.
