We'll need it for the cgroup patches, and its better to have it in a
separate patch in case we need to later revert the cgroup patches.
I.e. without this we have:

The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many
operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the
overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs.
An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up
all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU.
Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model.
Used in followon patches.
Committer notes:
Use zfree() in some places, add missing stdbool.h header, some minor
coding style changes.

Add utilities to help checking capabilities of the running procss. Make
perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el],
fallback to the geteuid() == 0 test used before.

This happens because differently from the perf binary generated with
this patch applied:
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
libcap.so.2 => /lib64/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f724a4ef000)
$
The python binding isn't linking with libcap:
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
$
So add 'cap' to the 'extra_libraries' variable in
tools/perf/util/setup.py, and rebuild:
$ perf test python
18: 'import perf' in python : Ok
$
If we explicitely disable libcap it also continues to work:
$ make NO_LIBCAP=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/perf | grep libcap
$ ldd /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so | grep libcap
$ perf test python
18: 'import perf' in python : Ok

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.
This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.
Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

When we detect a different endianity we swap event before processing.
It's tricky for samples because we have no idea what's inside. We treat
it as an array of u64s, swap them and later on we swap back parts which
are different.
We mangle this way also the tracepoint raw data, which ends up in report
showing wrong data:
1.95% comm=Q^B pid=29285 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
1.67% comm=l^B pid=0 prio=16777216 target_cpu=000
Luckily the traceevent library handles the endianity by itself (thank
you Steven!), so we can pass the RAW data directly in the other
endianity.
2.51% comm=beah-rhts-task pid=1175 prio=120 target_cpu=002
2.23% comm=kworker/0:0 pid=11566 prio=120 target_cpu=000
The fix is basically to swap back the raw data if different endianity is
detected.

In ac12f6764c ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we
started using the parse_branch_str() function from one of the files used
in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail:

I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the
pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this
regression to pass, sigh.
Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using
ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use
pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.
Now:
# perf test python

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.
