Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is much bigger than typical fixes, but Peter found a category of
races that spurred more fixes and more debugging enhancements. Work
started before the merge window, but got finished only now.
Aside of that this contains the usual small fixes to perf and tools.
Nothing particular exciting"

Mel reported stddev reporting was broken due to following commit:
106a94a0f8 ("perf stat: Introduce read_counters function")
This commit merged interval and overall counters reading into single
read_counters function.
The old interval code cleaned the stddev data for some reason (it's
never displayed in interval mode) and the mentioned commit kept on
cleaning the stddev data in merged function, which resulted in the
stddev not being displayed.
Removing the wrong stddev data cleanup init_stats call.

While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will
populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded
properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will
be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour
with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware.
Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from
rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured
out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc35
("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find").
This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch
machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to
rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree,
it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in
aforementioned commit.
This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch.
Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and
after applying patch.

[ Renamed it to perf_tip() and the parameter dirname to dirpath to fix the build on older distros ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
The event group view feature is to see related events together. To use
the group view, events should be recorded as a group with a dedicated
syntax of surrounding events by braces (-e '{ evt1, evt2, ... }').
Also 'perf report' also requires the --group option to enable it.
However it's almost always beneficial to use the group view to see the
group events as it's more expressive. And I think it's more natural to
see events together if they are recorded as a group.
Thus this patch changes the default value to enable it. If users don't
want to see like it and keep the original behavior, they can set the
report.group config variable to false and/or use --no-group option in
the 'perf report' command line.

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 dynamic sort key requires event name but specifying full event name
is rather inconvenient. This patch adds more ways to identify the event
in a more compact way.
1. If session has just one event, event name can be omitted.
2. Events can be accessed by index preceded by a percent sign.
3. A part of the name can be used, if it's not ambiguous. The partial
name should not contain ':' in it.
4. Full system + event name is still used, it should contain ':'.
So in the below example all does same thing:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1
$ perf report -s next_pid,next_comm
$ perf report -s %1.next_pid,%1.next_comm
$ perf report -s switch.next_pid,switch.next_comm
$ perf report -s sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm

Note that the 'trace' sort key works only for tracepoint events. If
it's used to other type of events, just "N/A" will be printed.

Each tracepoint event has format string for print to improve
readability. Try to parse the output and match the field name. If it
finds one, use that for the result. If not, fallbacks to the original
output.
For example, sort on kmem:kmalloc.gfp_flags looks like below:
(Note: libtraceevent plugins are not installed on my system. They might
affect the output below)
Before:
# Overhead Command gfp_flags
# ........ ....... ..........
#

0.06% sleep 208
0.03% perf 32976

After:
# Overhead Command gfp_flags
# ........ ....... ...................
#
99.89% perf GFP_NOFS|GFP_ZERO
0.06% sleep GFP_KERNEL
