Namhyung KimandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 29e6392ec3 perf hist: Support multi-line header
This is a preparation to support multi-line headers in 'perf mem report'.

Normal sort keys and output fields that don't have contents for multi-
line will print the header string at the last line only.

As we don't use multi-line headers normally, it should not have any
changes in the output.

Ian RogersandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo ee84a3032b perf thread: Add accessor functions for thread
Using accessors will make it easier to add reference count checking in
later patches.

Committer notes:

thread->nsinfo wasn't wrapped as it is used together with
nsinfo__zput(), where does a trick to set the field with a refcount
being dropped to NULL, and that doesn't work well with using
thread__nsinfo(thread), that loses the &thread->nsinfo pointer.

When refcount checking is added to 'struct thread', later in this
series, nsinfo__zput(RC_CHK_ACCESS(thread)->nsinfo) will be used to
check the thread pointer.

Namhyung KimandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 2775de0b11 perf report: Add --skip-empty option to suppress 0 event stat
To make the output more readable, I think it's better to remove 0's in
the output.  Also the dummy event has no event stats so it just wasts
the space.  Let's use the --skip-empty option to suppress it.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 79b6bb73f8 perf maps: Merge 'struct maps' with 'struct map_groups'
And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.

The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.

That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.

First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

Jin YaoandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0b49f83657 perf report: Support --percent-limit for --total-cycles
We have already supported the '--total-cycles' option in previous patch.
It's also useful to show entries only above a threshold percent.

This patch enables '--percent-limit' for not showing entries
under that percent.

For example:

 perf report --total-cycles --stdio --percent-limit 1

Jin YaoandArnaldo Carvalho de Melo 6f7164fa23 perf report: Sort by sampled cycles percent per block for stdio
It would be useful to support sorting for all blocks by the sampled
cycles percent per block. This is useful to concentrate on the globally
hottest blocks.

This patch implements a new option "--total-cycles" which sorts all
blocks by 'Sampled Cycles%'. The 'Sampled Cycles%' is the percent:

 percent = block sampled cycles aggregation / total sampled cycles

Note that, this patch only supports "--stdio" mode.

For example,

  # perf record -b ./div
  # perf report --total-cycles --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 2M of event 'cycles'
  # Event count (approx.): 2753248
  #
  # Sampled Cycles%  Sampled Cycles  Avg Cycles%  Avg Cycles                             [Program Block Range]      Shared Object

Committer testing:

This should provide material for hours of endless joy, both from looking
for suspicious things in the implementation of this patch, such as the
top one:

  # Sampled Cycles%  Sampled Cycles  Avg Cycles%  Avg Cycles                          [Program Block Range]     Shared Object

As well from things that look legit:

 -----------------------------------------------------------

 v7:
 ---
 Use use_browser in report__browse_block_hists for supporting
 stdio and potential tui mode.

 v6:
 ---
 Create report__browse_block_hists in block-info.c (codes are
 moved from builtin-report.c). It's called from
 perf_evlist__tty_browse_hists.

 v5:
 ---
 1. Move all block functions to block-info.c

 2. Move the code of setting ms in block hist_entry to
    other patch.

 v4:
 ---
 1. Use new option '--total-cycles' to replace
    '-s total_cycles' in v3.

 2. Move block info collection out of block info
    printing.

 v3:
 ---
 1. Use common function block_info__process_sym to
    process the blocks per symbol.

 2. Remove the nasty hack for skipping calculation
    of column length

 3. Some minor cleanup

"[Program Block Range]" indicates the range of program basic block
(start -> end). If we can find the source line it prints the source line
otherwise it prints the symbol+offset instead.

 v4:
 ---
 Use source lines or symbol+offset to indicate the basic block. It should
 be easier to understand.

 v3:
 ---
 Cast 'struct hist_entry' to 'struct block_hist' in hist_entry__block_fprintf.
 Use symbol_conf.report_block to check if executing hist_entry__block_fprintf.

 v2:
 ---
 Keep standard perf diff format and display the 'Baseline' and
 'Shared Object'.

The output is sorted by "Baseline" and the basic blocks in the same
function are sorted by cycles diff.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 3052ba56bc tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original
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.
