Using the same scheme as for git's/perf's pager setup, i.e. if one
doesn't want to, on a newt enabled perf binary, to disable the TUI for
'perf report', its just a matter of doing:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# printf "[tui]\n\nreport = off\n" >
/root/.perfconfig
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# cat /root/.perfconfig
[tui]
report = off
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
System wide settings are also possible, by editing /etc/perfconfig, etc,
i.e. the git machinery for config files applies to perf as well, so when
in doubt where to put your settings, consult the git documentation, if
it fails, please let us know.

A writer that gets a reference to the buffer handle disables
preemption. When we put that reference, we check if we are
the outer most writer and if not, we simply return and defer
the head update to the outer most writer. The problem here
is that preemption is only reenabled by the outer most, that
produces preemption count imbalance for every nested writer
that exit.
So just don't forget to always re-enable preemption when we
put the buffer reference, whoever we are.
Fixes lots of sleeping in atomic warnings, visible with lock
events recording.

We were still using the pathname found on the MMAP event, that could not
be the one we used when recording, so use the build-id cache for that,
only falling back to use the pathname in the MMAP event if no build-ids
are available.
With this we now also are able to do secure, seamless offline annotation.
Example:
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -g none -v 2> /dev/null | head -10

Accessing trace values of an 8 size may end up in a segfault
on archs that can't deal with misaligned access, which is the
case for sparc 64. This is because PERF_SAMPLE_RAW are aligned
to 4 and not to 8.
Fix this on the macros that get the values of 8 size.
This fixes segfaults on perf tools in sparc 64.

The software events hlist doesn't fully comply with the new
rcu checks api.
We need to consider three different sides that access the hlist:
- the hlist allocation/release side. This side happens when an
events is created or released, accesses to the hlist are
serialized under the cpuctx mutex.
- the events insertion/removal in the hlist. This side is always
serialized against the above one. The hlist is always present
during such operations. This side happens when a software event
is scheduled in/out. The serialization that ensures the software
event is really attached to the context is made under the
ctx->lock.
- events triggering. This is the read side, it can happen
concurrently with any update side.
This patch deals with them one by one and anticipates with the
separate rcu mem space patches in preparation.
This patch fixes various annoying rcu warnings.

This is a small fix for a problem affecting live-mode, introduced
recently:
root@tropicana:~# perf trace rwtop
perf trace started with Perl
script /root/libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/rwtop.pl
Fatal: did not read header event
commit d00a47cce5 added a skip()
function to skip over e.g. header_page, but this doesn't work for
live mode. This patch re-implements skip() to use read() instead of
lseek() to fix that.

The changes made to support host and guest machines in a session, that
started when the 'perf kvm' tool was introduced ended up introducing a
bug where the host_machine was not having its DSOs traversed for
build-id processing.
Fix it by moving some methods to the right classes and considering the
host_machine when processing build-ids.

Functions that were calling xzalloc also returned -1 when, for other
reasons, it could fail, and the calleds are coping with failures, so
stop using die() and xzalloc().
