This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent
changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived
from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with
the samples from which they were derived.
- This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true
- When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the
callchains exported via call_path_table
- The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of
samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths
table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no
corresponding callchain.
- When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both
set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This
prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from
building two separate call path trees in memory.
- The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header
file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the
sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned
above.
This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api.
The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the
previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function
after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for
additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the
final argument of the sample_table function.

Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and
thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of
thread-stack to create call paths.
Summary:
- Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build.
- Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h
and into call-path.c and call-path.h.
- A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through
call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to
compile.
This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set
and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:
# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 18030
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
callchain_cursor
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
callchain_cursor variables.
Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
variable.

After collecting samples for events 'syscalls:', perf-script with python
script doesn't occasionally work generating a segmentation fault.
The reason is that the print fmt is empty and a value of
event->print_fmt.args is NULL, so dereferencing the null pointer results
in a segmentation fault i.e.:
# perf record -e syscalls:*
# perf script -g python
# perf script -s perf-script.py
in trace_begin
syscalls__sys_enter_brk 3 79841.832099154 3777 test.sh syscall_nr=12, brk=0
... (omitted) ...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
For example, a format of sys_enter_getuid() hasn't
print fmt as below.
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_getuid/format
name: sys_enter_getuid
ID: 188
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:int syscall_nr; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: ""
So add exception handling to avoid this problem.

Add support to get stat events data in perf python scripts.
The python script shall implement the following new interface to process
stat data:
def stat__<event_name>_[<modifier>](cpu, thread, time, val, ena, run):
- is called for every stat event for given counter,
if user monitors 'cycles,instructions:u" following
callbacks should be defined:
def stat__cycles(cpu, thread, time, val, ena, run):
def stat__instructions_u(cpu, thread, time, val, ena, run):
def stat__interval(time):
- is called for every interval with its time,
in non interval mode it's called after last
stat event with total measured time in ns
The rest of the current interface stays untouched..
Please check example CPI metrics script in following patch
with command line examples in changelogs.

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It
is not about the trace_events. Rename the max trace_event type size to
something more descriptive and appropriate.
