This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to
identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device
number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with
the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier.
With the assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup
namespace, this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at
once.
A simple test for this would be to clone a few processes passing
SIGCHILD & CLONE_NEWCROUP flags to each of them, execute shell and run
different workloads on each of those contexts, while running perf
record command with --namespaces option.
Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted with cgroup identifier,
on perf.data generated with the above test scenario, clearly indicating
one context's considerable use of kernel memory in comparison with
others:
$ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 5K of event 'kmem:kmalloc'
# Event count (approx.): 5965
#
# Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Samples
# ........ ..................... ............
#
81.27% 3/0xeffffffb 4848
16.24% 3/0xf00000d0 969
1.16% 3/0xf00000ce 69
0.82% 3/0xf00000cf 49
0.50% 0/0x0 30
While this is a start, there is further scope of improving this. For
example, instead of cgroup namespace's device and inode numbers, dev
and inode numbers of some or all namespaces may be used to distinguish
which processes are running in a given container context.
Also, scripts to map device and inode info to containers sounds
plausible for better tracing of containers.

Add new sort key 'symbol_size' to allow user to sort by symbol size, or
(more usefully) display the symbol size using --fields=...,symbol_size.
Committer note:
Testing it together with the recently added -q, to remove the headers,
and using the '+' sign with -s, to add the symbol_size sort order to
the default, which is '-s/--sort comm,dso,symbol':

Commit 21e6d84286 ("perf diff: Use perf_hpp__register_sort_field
interface") changed list_add() to perf_hpp__register_sort_field().
This resulted in a behavior change since the field was added to the tail
instead of the head. So the -o option is mostly ignored due to its
order in the list.
This patch fixes it by adding perf_hpp__prepend_sort_field().

When dynamic entries are used in the hierarchy mode with multiple
events, the output might not be aligned properly. In the hierarchy
mode, the each sort column is indented using total number of sort keys.
So it keeps track of number of sort keys when adding them. However
a dynamic sort key can be added more than once when multiple events have
same field names. This results in unnecessarily long indentation in the
output.
For example perf kmem records following events:
$ perf evlist --trace-fields -i perf.data.kmem
kmem:kmalloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags
kmem:kmalloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node
kmem:kfree: trace_fields: call_site,ptr
kmem:kmem_cache_alloc: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags
kmem:kmem_cache_alloc_node: trace_fields: call_site,ptr,bytes_req,bytes_alloc,gfp_flags,node
kmem:kmem_cache_free: trace_fields: call_site,ptr
kmem:mm_page_alloc: trace_fields: page,order,gfp_flags,migratetype
kmem:mm_page_free: trace_fields: page,order
As you can see, many field names shared between kmem events. So adding
'ptr' dynamic sort key alone will set nr_sort_keys to 6. And this adds
many unnecessary spaces between columns.
Before:
$ perf report -i perf.data.kmem --hierarchy -s ptr -g none --stdio

The hists__overhead_width() is to calculate width occupied by the
overhead (and others) columns before the sort columns.
The hist_entry__has_hiearchy_children() is to check whether an entry has
lower entries (children) in the hierarchy to be shown in the output.
This means the children should not be filtered out and above the percent
limit.
These two functions will be used to show information when all children
of an entry is omitted by the percent limit (or filter).

The hist_entry__filter() function is to filter hist entries using sort
key related info. This is needed to support hierarchy mode since each
hist entry will be associated with a hpp fmt which has a sort key. So
each entry should compare to only matching type of filters.
To do that, add the ->se_filter callback field to struct sort_entry.
This callback takes 'type' argument which determines whether it's
matching sort key or not. It returns -1 for non-matching type, 0 for
filtered entry and 1 for not filtered entries.

Currently 'perf top --tui' decrements percentage of all entries on any
key press. This is because it adds total period as new samples are
added to hists. As perf-top does it currently but added samples are not
passed to the display thread, the percentages are decresing
continuously.
So separate total period stat into a different variable so that it
cannot affect the output total period. This new total period stats are
used only for calcualating callchain percent limit.

We were doing column alignment in the format function for each cell,
returning a string padded with spaces so that when the next column is
printed the cursor is at its column alignment.
This ends up needlessly printing trailing spaces, do it at the format
iterator, that is where we know if it is needed, i.e. if there is more
columns to be printed.
This eliminates the need for triming lines when doing a dump using 'P'
in the TUI browser and also produces far saner results with things like
piping 'perf report' to 'less'.
Right now only the formatters for sym->name and the 'locked' column
(perf mem report), that are the ones that end up at the end of lines
in the default 'perf report', 'perf top' and 'perf mem report' tools,
the others will be done in a subsequent patch.
In the end the 'width' parameter for the formatters now mean, in
'printf' terms, the 'precision', where before it was the field 'width'.
