Staring at annotations of large functions is useless if there's only a
few samples in them. Report the number of samples in the header to make
this easier to determine.
Committer note:
The change amounts to:
- Percent | Source code & Disassembly of perf-vdso.so for cycles:u
------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Percent | Source code & Disassembly of perf-vdso.so for cycles:u (3278 samples)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following commits are going to allow 'perf data convert' to collect not
only samples, but also non-sample events like comm and fork. In this
patch we count non-sample events using c.non_sample_count, and prepare
to print number of both type of events like:
# ~/perf data convert --all --to-ctf ./out.ctf
[ perf data convert: Converted 'perf.data' into CTF data './out.ctf' ]
[ perf data convert: Converted and wrote 0.846 MB (6508 samples, 686 non-samples) ]

The reason was a typo that passed global 'name' variable as the
is_regular_file argument instead dso->long_name.

Add few more triplets based on Fedora and Ubuntu binutils (cross tools).
Before applying patch on x86:
( Install binutils-powerpc64-linux-gnu.x86_64 )
$ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc \
--objdump powerpc64-linux-gnu-objdump
After applying patch on x86:
$ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc
I.e. it will find the right objdump from the environment data recorded
in the perf.data file + these triplets.
