f4c0d5309a tools api: Add simple timeout to io read 
In situations like reading from a pipe it can be useful to have a
timeout so that the caller doesn't block indefinitely. Implement a
simple one based on poll.

c9dc580c43 tools api: Add io__getline 
Reads a line to allocated memory up to a newline following the getline
API.

Committer notes:

It also adds this new function to the 'api io' 'perf test' entry:

  $ perf test "api io"
   64: Test api io                                                     : Ok
  $

53df2b9344 libsymbols kallsyms: Parse using io api 
'perf record' will call kallsyms__parse 4 times during startup and
process megabytes of data. This changes kallsyms__parse to use the io
library rather than fgets to improve performance of the user code by
over 8%.

Before:

  Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark:
  Average kallsyms__parse took: 103.988 ms (+- 0.203 ms)

After:

  Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark:
  Average kallsyms__parse took: 95.571 ms (+- 0.006 ms)

For a workload like:

  $ perf record /bin/true
  Run under 'perf record -e cycles:u -g' the time goes from:
  Before
  30.10%     1.67%  perf     perf                [.] kallsyms__parse
  After
  25.55%    20.04%  perf     perf                [.] kallsyms__parse

So a little under 5% of the start-up time is removed. A lot of what
remains is on the kernel side, but caching kallsyms within perf would at
least impact memory footprint.

Committer notes:

The internal/kallsyms-parse bench is run using:

  [root@five ~]# perf bench internals kallsyms-parse
  # Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark:
    Average kallsyms__parse took: 80.381 ms (+- 0.115 ms)
  [root@five ~]#

And this pre-existing test uses these routines to parse kallsyms and
then compare with the info obtained from the matching ELF symtab:

  [root@five ~]# perf test vmlinux
   1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                       : Ok
  [root@five ~]#

Also we can't remove hex2u64() in this patch as this breaks the build:

  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/build/perf/perf-in.o: in function `modules__parse':
  /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:607: undefined reference to `hex2u64'
  /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:607: undefined reference to `hex2u64'
  /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/build/perf/perf-in.o: in function `dso__load_perf_map':
  /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:1477: undefined reference to `hex2u64'
  /usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:1483: undefined reference to `hex2u64'
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Leave it there, move it in the next patch.

e95770af4c tools api: Add a lightweight buffered reading api 
The synthesize benchmark shows the majority of execution time going to
fgets and sscanf, necessary to parse /proc/pid/maps. Add a new buffered
reading library that will be used to replace these calls in a follow-up
CL. Add tests for the library to perf test.

Committer tests:

  $ perf test api
  63: Test api io                                           : Ok
  $
