Add stackcollapse.py script as an example of parsing call chains, and
also of using optparse to access command line options.
The flame graph tools include a set of scripts that parse output from
various tools (including "perf script"), remove the offsets in the
function and collapse each stack to a single line. The website also
says "perf report could have a report style [...] that output folded
stacks directly, obviating the need for stackcollapse-perf.pl", so here
it is.
This script is a Python rewrite of stackcollapse-perf.pl, using the perf
scripting interface to access the perf data directly from Python.

Add a 'llvm.dump-obj' config option to enable perf dump BPF object files
compiled by LLVM.
This option is useful when using BPF objects in embedded platforms.
LLVM compiler won't be deployed in these platforms, and currently we
don't support dynamic compiling library.
Before this patch users have to explicitly issue llvm commands to
compile BPF scripts, and can't use helpers (like include path detection
and default macros) in perf. With this option, user is allowed to use
perf to compile their BPF objects then copy them into their embedded
platforms.

This is because the remote libunwind library detected is not appended to
EXTLIBS variable, which will be included between 'start-group' and
'end-group' when linking.
The existing variable LIBUNWIND_LIBS is assigned to libs for local
unwind, this patch introduces a new variable EXTLIBS_LIBUNWIND for
storing remote libunwind libraries instead.

Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly. This fix includes two
changes;
- Fix to use lstat(3) instead of stat(3) since if the target
file is a symbolic link, rm_rf() should unlink the symbolic
link itself, not the file which pointed by the symlink.
- Fix to unlink non-regular files (except for directory),
including symlink.
Even though the first one fixes to stat symlink itself, without second
fix, it still failed because the symlink is not a regular file.

User visible changes:
- Support cross unwinding, i.e. collecting '--call-graph dwarf' perf.data files
in one machine and then doing analysis in another machine of a different
hardware architecture. This enables, for instance, to do:
perf record -a --call-graph dwarf
on a x86-32 or aarch64 system and then do 'perf report' on it on a
x86_64 workstation. (He Kuang)
- Fix crash in build_id_cache__kallsyms_path(), recent regression (Wang Nan)
Infrastructure changes:
- Make tools/lib/bpf use the IS_ERR return facility consistently and also stop
using the _get_ term for non-reference count methods (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf config' refactorings (Taeung Song)

Currently, 'perf script' uses host unwind methods to parse perf.data
callchain info without taking the target architecture into account, i.e.
assuming the perf.data file was generated on the same machine where the
analysis is being performed. So we get wrong result without any warnings
when unwinding callchains of x86(32-bit) on x86(64-bit) machine.
This patch adds an extra step that checks the target platform before
assigning unwind methods. In later patches in this series, we can use
this info to assign the right unwind methods for supported platforms.
Committer note:
After fixing it to register the local unwinder for live mode tools
('perf trace', 'perf top'), i.e. tools that don't use a perf.data file,
it works as intended and passes the 'perf test unwind' test:
# perf trace -e nanosleep --call dwarf usleep 1
0.328 ( 0.058 ms): usleep/11115 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7fff083fa480) = 0
