The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
object code from vmlinux. That is because the mappings do not map to
the dso. This patch fixes that.
A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must
be taken into account. As a result of that separate map functions for
relocation are no longer needed.
Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and
so is not done.
The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX
or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX as approprite, which enables the
correct file name to be determined by dso__binary_type_file().
This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test. That is
fixed in a following patch.

When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic
linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the
workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter
multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors.
Multiplexing assumes that the workload is mostly the same over longer
periods. But at startup there is typically some spike of activity which
is relatively short. If many groups are multiplexing the one group
seeing the spike, and which is then scaled up over the time to run all
groups, may see a significant error.
Also in general it's often not useful to measure the startup, because it
is so different from the rest.
One way around this is to use interval mode and discard the first
sample, but this can be awkward because interval mode doesn't support
intervals of less than 100ms, and also a useful interval is not
necessarily the same as a useful startup delay.
This patch adds a new --initial-delay / -D option to skip measuring for
the startup phase. The time can be specified in ms
Here's a simple example:
perf stat -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
3,721 page-faults
...
If we just wait 20 ms the number of page faults is 1/3 less:
perf stat -D 20 -e page-faults bash -c 'for i in $(seq 100000) ; do true ; done'
...
2,823 page-faults
...
So we filtered out most of the startup noise from bash.

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the period
value offered by lower layers.
There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified on
event group:
Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.
And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.
Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to
actually sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are
read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP
read format.
Example:
$ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
...
$ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
...
# Samples: 36 of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
# Event count (approx.): 12585593

This is a partial revert of Namhyung's patch

perf sort: Separate out memory-specific sort keys
He wrote
For global/local weights, I'm not entirely sure to place them into the
memory dimension. But it's the only user at this time.
Well TSX is another (in fact the original) user of the flags, and it
needs them to be common. So move local/global weight back to the common
sort keys.

With programs with very large functions it can be useful to distinguish
the callgraph nodes on more than just function names. So for example if
you have multiple calls to the same function, it ends up being separate
nodes in the chain.
This patch adds a new key field to the callgraph options, that allows
comparing nodes on functions (as today, default) and addresses.
Longer term it would be nice to also handle src lines, but that would
need more changes and address is a reasonable proxy for it today.
I right now reference the global params, as there was no simple way to
register a params pointer.

The glibc calloc() function has an optimization to not explicitely
memset() very large calloc allocations that just came from mmap(),
because they are known to be zero.
This could result in the perf memcpy benchmark reading only from
the zero page, which gives unrealistic results.
Always call memset explicitly on the source area to avoid this problem.

There are other variant of building perf too:
$ make -C tools perf
$ make -C tools/perf
Plus variants with O= and DESTDIR set.
This patch fixes the above and was tested with the following:
$ make O=... DESTDIR=... tools/perf

$ make O=... DESTDIR=... -C tools/perf
$ make tools/perf
