I just hit a segfault when doing `perf report -g srcline`.

For some platforms, for example Broadwell, it doesn't support cycles
for LBR. But the perf always prints cycles:0, it's not necessary.
The patch refactors the LBR info print code and drops the cycles:0.
For example: perf report --branch-history --no-children --stdio
On Broadwell:
--0.91%--__random_r random_r.c:394 (iterations:2)
__random_r random_r.c:360 (predicted:0.0%)
__random_r random_r.c:380 (predicted:0.0%)
__random_r random_r.c:357
On Skylake:
--1.07%--main div.c:39 (predicted:52.4% cycles:1 iterations:17)
main div.c:44 (predicted:52.4% cycles:1)

Often it is interesting to know how costly a given source line is in
total. Previously, one had to build these sums manually based on all
addresses that pointed to the same source line. This patch introduces
srcline as a sort key, which will do the aggregation for us.
Paired with the recent addition of showing inline frames, this makes
perf report much more useful for many C++ work loads.
The following shows the new feature in action. First, let's show the
status quo output when we sort by address. The result contains many hist
entries that generate the same output:

Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing,
this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to
indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag.
Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know what
the branch flag it has.
The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes loops. It
would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then in next
steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations.
For example:
Before remove_loops(),
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800
After remove_loops()
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800
The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations
(from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1).
iterations = removed number + 1;
average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples
This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple
buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's good
enough.

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.

The flat callchain mode is to print all chains in a single, simple
hierarchy so make it easy to see.
Currently perf report --tui doesn't show flat callchains properly. With
flat callchains, only leaf nodes are added to the final rbtree so it
should show entries in parent nodes. To do that, add parent_val list to
struct callchain_node and show them along with the (normal) val list.
For example, consider following callchains with '-g graph'.

Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for
individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful.
This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over
complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how
normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of
the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram
infrastructure to unify them.
This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that
lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the
caller for short functions.
Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not
needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this
point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be
added in a patch after this one:

The default output is unchanged.
This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere
else.
This adds the basic code to report:
- add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode
- when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c.
The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the
difference between LBR entry and normal call entry.
- detect overlaps with the callchain
- remove small loop duplicates in the LBR
Current limitations:
- The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history
and LBR entries have no special marker.
- It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow
(e.g. with arrows)
v2: Various fixes.
v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space.
v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback.
v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without
-b.
v6: Rebase
v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset.
v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate
patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

For lbr-as-callgraph we need to see the line number in the history,
because many LBR entries can be in a single function, and just
showing the same function name many times is not useful.
When the history code is configured to sort by address, also try to
resolve the address to a file:srcline and display this in the browser.
If that doesn't work still display the address.
This can be also useful without LBRs for understanding which call in a large
function (or in which inlined function) called something else.

v2: Refactor code into common function
v3: Fix GTK build
v4: Rebase

When a new callchain child branch matches an existing one in the rbtree,
the comparison of its first entry is performed twice:
1) From append_chain_children() on branch lookup
2) If 1) reports a match, append_chain() then compares all entries of
the new branch against the matching node in the rbtree, and this
comparison includes the first entry of the new branch again.
Lets shortcut this by performing the whole comparison only from
append_chain() which then returns the result of the comparison between
the first entry of the new branch and the iterating node in the rbtree.
If the first entry matches, the lookup on the current level of siblings
stops and propagates to the children of the matching nodes.
This results in less comparisons performed by the CPU.

Current collapse stage has a scalability problem which can be reproduced
easily with a parallel kernel build.
This is because it needs to traverse every children of callchains
linearly during the collapse/merge stage.
Converting it to a rbtree reduced the overhead significantly.
On my 400MB perf.data file which recorded with make -j32 kernel build:
$ time perf --no-pager report --stdio > /dev/null
before:
real 6m22.073s
user 6m18.683s
sys 0m0.706s
after:
real 0m20.780s
user 0m19.962s
sys 0m0.689s
During the perf report the overhead on append_chain_children went down
from 96.69% to 18.16%:
- 18.16% perf perf [.] append_chain_children
- append_chain_children
- 77.48% append_chain_children
+ 69.79% merge_chain_branch
- 22.96% append_chain_children
+ 67.44% merge_chain_branch
+ 30.15% append_chain_children
+ 2.41% callchain_append
+ 7.25% callchain_append
+ 12.26% callchain_append
+ 10.22% merge_chain_branch
+ 11.58% perf perf [.] dso__find_symbol
+ 8.02% perf perf [.] sort__comm_cmp
+ 5.48% perf libc-2.17.so [.] malloc_consolidate
