If given sort keys are all elided there'll be no output except for the
overhead column - actually the TUI shows a noisy output. In this case
it'd be better to show up the sort keys rather than elide.
Before:
$ perf report -s comm -c perf
(...)
# Overhead
# ........
#
100.00%
After:
$ perf report -s comm -c perf
(...)
# Overhead Command
# ........ .......
#
100.00% perf

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.
We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.
This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.

Each call to tui_progress__update() would forcibly refresh the entire
screen. This is somewhat inefficient and causes noticable flickering
during the startup of perf-report, especially on large/slow terminals.
It looks like the force-refresh in tui_progress__update() serves no
purpose other than to clear the screen so that the progress bar of a
previous operation does not subsume that of a subsequent operation. But
we can do just that in a much more efficient manner by clearing only the
region that a previous progress bar may have occupied before repainting
the new progress bar. Then the force-refresh could be removed with no
change in visuals.
This patch disables the slow force-refresh in tui_progress__update() and
instead calls SLsmg_fill_region() on the entire area that the progress
bar may occupy before repainting it. This change makes the startup of
perf-report much faster and appear much "smoother".
It turns out that this was a big bottleneck in the startup speed of
perf-report -- with this patch, perf-report starts up ~2x faster (1.1s
vs 0.55s) on my machines. (These numbers were measured by running "time
perf report" on an 8MB perf.data and pressing 'q' immediately.)

Instead do the lookups just when creating the tracepoints, initially for
the most common, raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}.
It works by having evsel->priv have a per tracepoint structure with
entries for the fields, for direct access, with the offset and a
function to get the value from the sample, doing the swap if needed.
Using a simple workload that does M millions write syscalls, we go from:
# perf stat -i -e cycles /tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100 > /dev/null
Performance counter stats for '/tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100':
8,366,771,459 cycles

# perf stat -i -e cycles perf trace ./sc_hello 100 > /dev/null

When building perf out of tree:
$ make perf-tar-src-pkg
$ tar -xf perf-<ver>.tar -C /tmp
$ cd /tmp/perf<ver>
$ make -C tools/perf
you get this warning message:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `kernelversion'. Stop.
Fix it by saving the perf version in the tar file and using that for the
out of tree builds.
v2: removed short form request and fixed up version string from usual output.

Adding the check for maximum allowed frequency rate defined in following
file:
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
When we cross the maximum value we fail and display detailed error
message with advise.
$ perf record -F 3000 ls
Maximum frequency rate (2000) reached.
Please use -F freq option with lower value or consider
tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
In case user does not specify the frequency and the default value cross
the maximum, we display warning and set the frequency value to the
current maximum.
$ perf record ls
Lowering default frequency rate to 2000.
Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
Same messages are used for 'perf top'.
