Add stackcollapse.py script as an example of parsing call chains, and
also of using optparse to access command line options.
The flame graph tools include a set of scripts that parse output from
various tools (including "perf script"), remove the offsets in the
function and collapse each stack to a single line. The website also
says "perf report could have a report style [...] that output folded
stacks directly, obviating the need for stackcollapse-perf.pl", so here
it is.
This script is a Python rewrite of stackcollapse-perf.pl, using the perf
scripting interface to access the perf data directly from Python.

Add a 'llvm.dump-obj' config option to enable perf dump BPF object files
compiled by LLVM.
This option is useful when using BPF objects in embedded platforms.
LLVM compiler won't be deployed in these platforms, and currently we
don't support dynamic compiling library.
Before this patch users have to explicitly issue llvm commands to
compile BPF scripts, and can't use helpers (like include path detection
and default macros) in perf. With this option, user is allowed to use
perf to compile their BPF objects then copy them into their embedded
platforms.
Committer notice:
Testing it:
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[llvm]
dump-obj = true
#
# ls -la filter.o
ls: cannot access filter.o: No such file or directory
# cat filter.c
#include <uapi/linux/bpf.h>
#define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_nsec")
int func(void *ctx, int err, long nsec)
{
return nsec > 1000;
}

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
User visible changes:
- Add --ldlat option to 'perf mem' to specify load latency for loads
event (e.g. cpu/mem-loads/ ) (Jiri Olsa)
Build fixes:
- Fix libunwind related compile error for static cross build (He Kuang)
Infrastructure changes:
- UI refactorings to support headers with multiple lines, non-evsel
hists browsers, toggle showing callchains, etc (Jiri Olsa)
- More prep work for caching probe definitions, paving the way
for supporting SDT (Statically Defined Traces) userspace probes (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Handle NULL at perf_config_set__delete() (Taeung Song)

This is because the remote libunwind library detected is not appended to
EXTLIBS variable, which will be included between 'start-group' and
'end-group' when linking.
The existing variable LIBUNWIND_LIBS is assigned to libs for local
unwind, this patch introduces a new variable EXTLIBS_LIBUNWIND for
storing remote libunwind libraries instead.
