perf tools: Add layout support for --symfs option
...
Add support for parsing an optional layout parameter in the --symfs
command line option. The format is:
--symfs <directory[,layout]>
Where layout can be:
- 'hierarchy': matches full path (default)
- 'flat': only matches base name
When debugging symbol files from a copy of the filesystem (e.g., from a
container or remote machine), the debug files are often stored in a
flat directory structure with only filenames, not the full original
paths. In this case, using 'flat' layout allows perf to find debug
symbols by matching only the filename rather than the full path.
For example, given a binary path like:
/build/output/lib/foo.so
With 'perf report --symfs /debug/files,flat', perf will look for:
/debug/files/foo.so
Instead of:
/debug/files/build/output/lib/foo.so
This is particularly useful when:
- Extracting debug files from containers with different directory layouts
- Working with build systems that flatten directory structures

perf tools: Make quiet mode consistent between tools

Use the global quiet variable everywhere so that all tools hide warnings
in quiet mode and update the documentation to reflect this.
'perf probe' claimed that errors are not printed in quiet mode but I
don't see this so remove it from the docs.

perf diff: Report noisy for cycles diff
...
This patch prints the stddev and hist for the cycles diff of program
block. It can help us to understand if the cycles is noisy or not.
This patch is inspired by Andi Kleen's patch:
https://lwn.net/Articles/600471/
We create new option '--cycles-hist'.
Example:
perf record -b ./div
perf record -b ./div
perf diff -c cycles

Rebase to perf/core branch
v7:
---
1. v6 got Jiri's ACK.
2. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.
v6:
---
1. Jiri provides better code for using data__hpp_register() in ui_init().
Use this code in v6.
v5:
---
1. Refine the use of data__hpp_register() in ui_init() according to
Jiri's suggestion.
v4:
---
1. Rename the new option from '--noisy' to '--cycles-hist'
2. Remove the option '-n'.
3. Only update the spark value and stats when '--cycles-hist' is enabled.
4. Remove the code of printing '..'.
v3:
---
1. Move the histogram to a separate column
2. Move the svals[] out of struct stats
v2:
---
Jiri got a compile error,
CC builtin-diff.o
builtin-diff.c: In function ‘compute_cycles_diff’:
builtin-diff.c:712:10: error: taking the absolute value of unsigned type ‘u64’ {aka ‘long unsigned int’} has no effect [-Werror=absolute-value]
712 | labs(pair->block_info->cycles_spark[i] -
| ^~~~
Because the result of u64 - u64 is still u64. Now we change the type of
cycles_spark[] to s64.

perf diff: Support --time filter option
...
To improve 'perf diff', implement a --time filter option to diff the
samples within given time window.
It supports time percent with multiple time ranges. The time string
format is 'a%/n,b%/m,...' or 'a%-b%,c%-%d,...'.
For example:
Select the second 10% time slice to diff:
perf diff --time 10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% time slice to diff:
perf diff --time 0%-10%
Select the first and the second 10% time slices to diff:
perf diff --time 10%/1,10%/2
Select from 0% to 10% and 30% to 40% slices to diff:
perf diff --time 0%-10%,30%-40%
It also supports analysing samples within a given time window
<start>,<stop>.
Times have the format seconds.microseconds.
If 'start' is not given (i.e., time string is ',x.y') then analysis starts at
the beginning of the file.
If the stop time is not given (i.e, time string is 'x.y,') then analysis
goes to end of file.
Time string is 'a1.b1,c1.d1:a2.b2,c2.d2'. Use ':' to separate timestamps for
different perf.data files.
For example, we get the timestamp information from perf script.
perf script -i perf.data.old
mgen 13940 [000] 3946.361400: ...
perf script -i perf.data
mgen 13940 [000] 3971.150589 ...
perf diff --time 3946.361400,:3971.150589,
It analyzes the perf.data.old from the timestamp 3946.361400 to the end of
perf.data.old and analyzes the perf.data from the timestamp 3971.150589 to the
end of perf.data.

perf diff: Change default setting to "delta-abs"
...
The "delta-abs" compute method will show most changed entries on top.
So users can easily see how much effect between the data. Note that it
also changes the default of -o option to 1 in order to apply the compute
method. To see original-style (sorted by baseline) use -o 0 option.

perf diff: Add diff.compute config option
...
The diff.compute config variable is to set the default compute method of
perf diff command (-c option). Possible values 'delta' (default),
'delta-abs', 'ratio' and 'wdiff'.

perf diff: Add diff.order config option
...
In many cases, I need to look at differences between two data so I often
used the -o option to sort the result base on the difference first.
It'd be nice to have a config option to set it by default.
The diff.order config option is to set the default value of -o/--order
option.

perf diff: Add 'delta-abs' compute method
...
The 'delta-abs' compute method is same as 'delta' but shows entries with
bigger absolute delta first instead of sorting numerically. This is
only useful together with -o option.
Below is default output (-c delta):
$ perf diff -o 1 -c delta | grep -v ^# | head
42.22% +4.97% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] cfb_imageblit
0.62% +1.23% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mutex_lock
+1.15% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] copy_user_generic_string

0.16% +0.45% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] menu_select
+0.41% ld-2.24.so [.] do_lookup_x
Now with 'delta-abs' it shows entries have bigger delta value either
positive or negative.

perf diff: Support for different binaries
...
Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because
it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data
comes from different binaries. This patch matches the symbol names.
Actually, perf diff once intended to compare the symbol names. The
commit as below can look for a pair by name.

perf diff: Remove displacement output option
...
It seems not very useful, because it's possible and event more convenient to
lookup related symbol by name. Also the output value for both 'baseline' and
'new' data is quite apparent from diff output.
And above all it complicates hist code factoring ;)
Ditching out PERF_HPP__DISPL column with related output functions.
