091bd2e993 perf top: Improve interactive key handling
Pressing any key which is not currently mapped to
functionality, based on startup command line options, displays
currently mapped keys, and prompts for input.

Pressing any unmapped key at the prompt returns the user to
display mode with variables unchanged.  eg, pressing ? <SPACE>
<ESC> etc displays currently available keys, the value of the
variable associated with that key, and prompts.

Pressing same again aborts input.

46ab976443 perf_counter tools: Allow perf top top users to switch between weighted and individual counter display
Add [w]eighted hotkey.  Pressing [w] toggles between displaying
weighted total of all counters, and the counter selected via

923c42c199 perf_counter tools: Fix/resurrect perf top annotation in a simple interactive form
perf top used to have annotation support, but it has bitrotted and
removed.

This patch restores that: it allows the user to select any symbol
in kernel space for source level annotation on the fly, switch
between event counters and alter display variables. When symbol
details are being displayed, stopping annotation reverts to normal.

known keys:
        [d]     select display delay.
        [e]     select display entries (lines).
        [E]     select annotation event counter.
        [f]     select normal display count filter.
        [F]     select annotation display count filter (percentage).
        [qQ]    quit.
        [s]     select annotation symbol and start annotation.
        [S]     stop annotation, revert to normal display.
        [z]     toggle event count zeroing.

59b9005692 perf top: Add mwait_idle_with_hints to skip_symbols[]
We skip the display of idle routine related symbols because
they are typically rather erratic and confusing: they depend
on the IRQ rate or sometimes they dominate the profile if
they are polling based.

Add mwait_idle_with_hints too, this is one of the idle
routines on x86.

1e11fd82d2 perf_counter tools: Provide helper to print percents color
Among perf annotate, perf report and perf top, we can find the
common colored printing of percents according to the following
rules:

    High overhead =  > 5%, colored in red
    Mid overhead =  > 0.5%, colored in green
    Low overhead =  < 0.5%, default color

Factorize these multiple checks in a single function named
percent_color_fprintf() and also provide a get_percent_color()
for sites which print percentages and other things at the same
time.

43cbcd8acb perf_counter tools: Share rbtree.with the kernel
The tools/perf/util/rbtree.c copy already drifted by three
csets:

 4b324126e0
 4c60117811

So remove the copy and use the lib/rbtree.c directly, sharing
the source code while still generating a separate object file,
since tools/perf uses a far more agressive -O6 switch.

e6e18ec79b perf_counter: Rework the sample ABI
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.

Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.

This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

9cffa8d533 perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long.  This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.

Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8.  These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.

The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__".  The other changes are:

* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
  to kill two remaining warnings.

729ff5e2aa perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usage
A build error slipped in:

 builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
 builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

2f01190aa6 perf top: Wait for a minimal set of events before reading first snapshot
The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have
been read in the mapped perfcounter files.

Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the
snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be
displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate.

Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before
"print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this
value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it.
Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the
first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is
tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a
minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case
of high samples filters.

Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default
case.

864709302a perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.
