be316409e9 perf annotate: Introduce --ignore-vmlinux command line option 
This is already present in 'perf top', albeit undocumented (will fix),
and is useful to use /proc/kcore instead of vmlinux and then get what is
really in place, not what the kernel starts with, before alternatives,
ftrace .text patching, etc, see the differences:

This should be further streamlined by doing both annotations and
allowing the TUI to toggle initial/current, and show the patched
instructions in a slightly different color.

1ac39372e0 perf annotate stdio: Support --show-nr-samples option 
Add --show-nr-samples option to "perf annotate" so that it matches "perf

Committer note:

Note that it can't be used together with --show-total-period, which
seems like a silly limitation, that can be lifted at some point.

Made it bail out if not on --stdio.

'perf annotate --stdio' will colorize entries with most hits and
possibly some other aspects of its output, but those colors gets
suppressed if we redirect the output to a non-tty, allow keeping the
colors by adding a new option, --stdio-color, now this use case will
also output escape sequences for colors:

efad14150a perf report: Accept fifos as input file 
The default input file for perf report is not handled the same way as
perf record does it for its output file. This leads to unexpected
behavior of perf report, etc. E.g.:

 # perf record -a -e cpu-cycles sleep 2 | perf report | cat
 failed to open perf.data: No such file or directory  (try 'perf record' first)

While perf record writes to a fifo, perf report expects perf.data to be
read. This patch changes this to accept fifos as input file.

Applies to the following commands:

 perf annotate
 perf buildid-list
 perf evlist
 perf kmem
 perf lock
 perf report
 perf sched
 perf script
 perf timechart

Also fixes char const* -> const char* type declaration for filename
strings.

v2:
* Prevent potential null pointer access to input_name in
  builtin-report.c. Needed due to removal of patch "perf report: Setup
  browser if stdout is a pipe"

c8e6672035 perf tools: make -C consistent across commands (for cpu list arg) 
Currently the meaning of -C varies by perf command: for perf-top,
perf-stat, perf-record it means cpu list. For perf-report it means comm
list. Then perf-annotate, perf-report and perf-script use -c for cpu
list.

Fix annotate, report and script to use -C for cpu list to be consistent
with top, stat and record. This means report needs to use -c for comm
list which does introduce a backward compatibility change.

v1 -> v2
- update perf-script.txt too

f69b64f73e perf: Support setting the disassembler style 
Add -M option to report/annotate to pass directly to objdump.  This
allows to use -M intel for intel style disassembler syntax, which is
useful for people who are very used to the Intel syntax.

e71a059832 perf annotate: Add --symfs option 
If you have --symfs in perf report, then you also need it for perf
annotate.  This allows off-box assembly level analysis of perf.data
samples.

3e6a2a7f3b perf annotate: Make output more readable 
This patch adds two new options to perf annotate:
	- --no-asm-raw : Do not display raw instruction encodings
	- --no-source  : Do not interleave source code with assembly code

We believe those options make the output of annotate more readable.

Systematically displaying source can make it hard to follow code and
especially optimized code.

Raw encodings are not useful in most cases.

5d67be97f8 perf report/annotate/script: Add option to specify a CPU range 
Add an option to perf report/annotate/script to specify which
CPUs to operate on. This enables us to take a single system wide
profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation.

This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the
bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall
profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help
because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no
single process consumed an entire CPU.

The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new
into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be
consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf
report already uses -C <comms>.

 v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern:
	- Added -c to perf script
	- Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used
	- Update documentation

 v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap()

8b9e74eb8a perf tools: Add --tui and --stdio to choose the UI 
Relying just on ~/.perfconfig or rebuilding the tool disabling support
for the TUI is too cumbersome, so allow specifying which UI to use and
make the command line switch override whatever is in ~/.perfconfig.
