3ce5aceb5d perf/core improvements and fixes: 
perf record:
 
   Alexey Budankov:
 
   - Allow mixing --user-regs with --call-graph=dwarf, making sure that
     the minimal set of registers for DWARF unwinding is present in the
     set of user registers requested to be present in each sample, while
     warning the user that this may make callchains unreliable if more
     that the minimal set of registers is needed to unwind.
 
   yuzhoujian:
 
   - Add support to collect callchains from kernel or user space only,
     IOW allow setting the perf_event_attr.exclude_callchain_{kernel,user}
     bits from the command line.
 
 perf trace:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Remove x86_64 specific syscall numbers from the augmented_raw_syscalls
     BPF in-kernel collector of augmented raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}
     payloads, use instead the syscall numbers obtainer either by the
     arch specific syscalltbl generators or from audit-libs.
 
   - Allow 'perf trace' to ask for the number of bytes to collect for
     string arguments, for now ask for PATH_MAX, i.e. the whole
     pathnames, which ends up being just a way to speficy which syscall
     args are pathnames and thus should be read using bpf_probe_read_str().
 
   - Skip unknown syscalls when expanding strace like syscall groups.
     This helps using the 'string' group of syscalls to work in arm64,
     where some of the syscalls present in x86_64 that deal with
     strings, for instance 'access', are deprecated and this should not
     be asked for tracing.
 
   Leo Yan:
 
   - Exit when failing to build eBPF program.
 
 perf config:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair. This
     helps with cases where processing a key-value pair is not just a
     matter of setting some tool specific knob, involving, for instance
     building a BPF program to then attach to the list of events 'perf
     trace' will use, e.g. augmented_raw_syscalls.c.
 
 perf.data:
 
   Kan Liang:
 
   - Read and store die ID information available in new Intel processors
     in CPUID.1F in the CPU topology written in the perf.data header.
 
 perf stat:
 
   Kan Liang:
 
   - Support per-die aggregation.
 
 Documentation:
 
   Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
 
   - Update perf.data documentation about the CPU_TOPOLOGY, MEM_TOPOLOGY,
     CLOCKID and DIR_FORMAT headers.
 
   Song Liu:
 
   - Add description of headers HEADER_BPF_PROG_INFO and HEADER_BPF_BTF.
 
   Leo Yan:
 
   - Update default value for llvm.clang-bpf-cmd-template in 'man perf-config'.
 
 JVMTI:
 
   Jiri Olsa:
 
   - Address gcc string overflow warning for strncpy()
 
 core:
 
   - Remove superfluous nthreads system_wide setup in perf_evsel__alloc_fd().
 
 Intel PT:
 
   Adrian Hunter:
 
   - Add support for samples to contain IPC ratio, collecting cycles
     information from CYC packets, showing the IPC info periodically, because
     Intel PT does not update the cycle count on every branch or instruction,
     the incremental values will often be zero.  When there are values, they
     will be the number of instructions and number of cycles since the last
     update, and thus represent the average IPC since the last IPC value.

f08046cb30 perf thread-stack: Represent jmps to the start of a different symbol 
The compiler might optimize a call/ret combination by making it a jmp.
However the thread-stack does not presently cater for that, so that such
control flow is not visible in the call graph. Make it visible by
recording on the stack a branch to the start of a different symbol.
Note, that means when a ret pops the stack, all jmps must be popped off
first.

Example:

  $ cat jmp-to-fn.c
  __attribute__((noinline)) int bar(void)
  {
          return -1;
  }

  __attribute__((noinline)) int foo(void)
  {
          return bar() + 1;
  }

  int main()
  {
          return foo();
  }

Committer testing:

Install the python2-pyside package, then select these menu options
on the GUI:

   "Reports"
      "Context sensitive callgraphs"

Then go on expanding the symbols, to get, full picture when doing this
on a fedora:29 with gcc version 8.2.1 20181215 (Red Hat 8.2.1-6) (GCC):

jmp-to-fn
  PID:TID
    _start                (ld-2.28.so)
      __libc_start_main
        main
          foo
            bar

To verify that indeed, this fixes the problem.

256d92bc93 perf thread-stack: Fix thread stack processing for the idle task 
perf creates a single 'struct thread' to represent the idle task. That
is because threads are identified by PID and TID, and the idle task
always has PID == TID == 0.

However, there are actually separate idle tasks for each CPU. That
creates a problem for thread stack processing which assumes that each
thread has a single stack, not one stack per CPU.

Fix that by passing through the CPU number, and in the case of the idle
"thread", pick the thread stack from an array based on the CPU number.

e216708d98 perf script: Add callindent option 
Based on patches from Andi Kleen.

When printing PT instruction traces with perf script it is rather useful
to see some indentation for the call tree. This patch adds a new
callindent field to perf script that prints spaces for the function call
stack depth.

We already have code to track the function call stack for PT, that we
can reuse with minor modifications.

The resulting output is not quite as nice as ftrace yet, but a lot
better than what was there before.

Note there are some corner cases when the thread stack gets code
confused and prints incorrect indentation. Even with that it is fairly
useful.

When displaying kernel code traces it is recommended to run as root, as
otherwise perf doesn't understand the kernel addresses properly, and may
not reset the call stack correctly on kernel boundaries.

Example output:

	sudo perf-with-kcore record eg2 -a -e intel_pt// -- sleep 1
	sudo perf-with-kcore script eg2 --ns -F callindent,time,comm,pid,sym,ip,addr,flags,cpu --itrace=cre | less

2c15f5eb04 perf script: Expose usage of the callchain db export via the python api 
This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent
changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived
from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with
the samples from which they were derived.

- This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true

- When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the
  callchains exported via call_path_table

- The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of
  samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths
  table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no
  corresponding callchain.

- When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both
  set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This
  prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from
  building two separate call path trees in memory.

- The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header
  file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the
  sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned
  above.

This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api.

The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the
previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function
after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for
additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the
final argument of the sample_table function.

451db12617 perf tools: Refactor code to move call path handling out of thread-stack 
Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and
thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of
thread-stack to create call paths.

Summary:

- Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build.

- Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h
  and into call-path.c and call-path.h.

- A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through
  call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to
  compile.

This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set
and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

a5499b3719 perf tools: Ensure thread-stack is flushed 
The thread-stack represents a thread's current stack.  When a thread
exits there can still be many functions on the stack e.g. exit() can be
called many levels deep, so all the callers will never return.  To get
that information output, the thread-stack must be flushed.

Previously it was assumed the thread-stack would be flushed when the
struct thread was deleted.  With thread ref-counting it is no longer
clear when that will be, if ever. So instead explicitly flush all the
thread-stacks at the end of a session.

92a9e4f7db perf tools: Enhance the thread stack to output call/return data 
Enhance the thread stack to output detailed information about paired
calls and returns.

The enhanced processing consumes sample information via
thread_stack__process() and outputs information about paired calls /
returns via a call-back.

While the call-back makes it possible for the facility to be used by
arbitrary tools, a subsequent patch will provide the information to
Python scripting via the db-export interface.

An important part of the call/return information is the
call path which provides a structure that defines a context
sensitive call graph.

Note that there are now two ways to use the thread stack.

For simply providing a call stack (like you would get from the perf
record -g option) the interface consists of thread_stack__event() and
thread_stack__sample().

Whereas the enhanced interface consists of call_return_processor__new()
and thread_stack__process().
