'perf stat' accepts some config terms but doesn't apply them. For
example:
# perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
# ls
# exit
Performance counter stats for 'bash':
266258061 instructions/no-inherit/
266258061 instructions/inherit/
1.402183915 seconds time elapsed
The result is confusing, because user may expect the first
'instructions' event exclude the 'ls' command.
This patch forbid most of these config terms for 'perf stat'.
Result:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/no-inherit/' -e 'instructions/inherit/' bash
event syntax error: 'instructions/no-inherit/'
\___ 'no-inherit' is not usable in 'perf stat'
...
We can add blocked config terms back when 'perf stat' really supports them.
This patch also removes unavailable config term from error message:
# ./perf stat -e 'instructions/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'instructions/badterm/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: config,config1,config2,name
# ./perf stat -e 'cpu/badterm/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/badterm/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name

Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was
auto-tuned:
# dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2
[ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
[ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000
Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported
by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ,
it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test:
# perf test -v 21 2>&1 | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5
Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40
Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea800
Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffff813b2f23
[root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out
40 /tmp/out
[root@jouet ~]#
For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the
user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or
bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

If CPU_DOWN_PREPARE fails the perf hotplug notifier is called for
CPU_DOWN_FAILED and calls perf_event_init_cpu(), which checks whether the
swhash is referenced. If yes it allocates a new hash and stores the pointer in
the per cpu data structure.
But at this point the cpu is still online, so there must be a valid hash
already. By overwriting the pointer the existing hash is not longer
accessible.
Remove the CPU_DOWN_FAILED state, as there is nothing to (re)allocate.

Will be used in 'perf c2c' and eventually in 'perf diff' to allow, for instance
running the same workload in multiple machines and then when using 'diff' show
the hardware difference. (Jiri Olsa)
- 'perf stat' now shows shadow metrics (insn per cycle, etc) in
interval mode too. E.g:
# perf stat -I 1000 -e instructions,cycles sleep 1
# time counts unit events
1.000215928 519,620 instructions # 0.69 insn per cycle
1.000215928 752,003 cycles
<SNIP>
Infrastructure changes:
- libapi now can also use pr_{warning,info,debug}() and that can be
set by tools using it (Jiri Olsa)
- libapi adopts filename__read_str() from perf, adds sysfs__read_str() (Jiri Olsa)
- Add check for java alternatives cmd in jvmti Makefile, so that it manages
to automatically find the right path for the JDK devel files in Ubuntu like
systems in addition to Fedora like ones (Stephane Eranian)

Now that we can modify the metrics printout functions easily, it's
straight forward to support metric printing for interval mode. All that
is needed is to print the time stamp on every new line. Pass the prefix
into the context and print it out.
v2: Move wrong hunk to here.

Abstract the printing of shadow metrics. Instead of every metric calling
fprintf directly and taking care of indentation, use two call backs: one
to print metrics and another to start a new line.
This will allow adding metrics to CSV mode and also using them for other
purposes.
The computation of padding is now done in the central callback, instead
of every metric doing it manually. This makes it easier to add new
metrics.
v2: Refactor functions, printout now does more. Move
shadow printing. Improve fallback callbacks. Don't
use void * callback data.
v3: Remove unnecessary hunk. Add typedef for new_line
v4: Remove unnecessary hunk. Don't print metrics for CSV/interval
mode yet. Move printout change to separate patch.
v5: Fix bisect bugs. Avoid bogus frontend cycles printing.
Fix indentation in different aggregation modes.

Also adding libapi_set_print function to set above functions. This will
be used in perf to set standard debug handlers for libapi.
Adding 2 header files:
