Add basic support to parse ARM assembly.
This:
* enables perf to correctly show the disassembly, rather than chopping
some constants off at the '#' (which is not a comment character on
ARM).
* allows perf to identify ARM instructions that branch to other parts
within the same function, thereby properly annotating them.
* allows perf to identify function calls, allowing called functions to
be followed in the annotated view.

Currently we have 2 kinds of stat counters based on when the event is
enabled:
1) tracee command events, which are enable once the
tracee executes exec syscall (enable_on_exec bit)
2) all other events which get alive within the
perf_event_open syscall
And 2) case could raise a problem in case we want additional filter to
be attached for event. In this case we want the event to be enabled
after it's configured with filter.
Changing the behaviour of 2) events, so they all are created as disabled
(disabled bit). Adding extra enable call to make them alive once they
finish setup.

With the following steps:
Step 1: perf report
Step 2: Use UP/DOWN to select an entry, don't press 'ENTER'
Step 3: Use '/' to filter symbols, use a filter which returns
empty result
Step 4: Press 'ENTER'
We see that, even if we have filtered all the symbols (and the main
interface is empty), pressing 'ENTER' still selects one symbol. This
behavior surprises the user.
This patch resets browser->{he_,}selection in hist_browser__refresh()
and lets it choose default selection. In this case
browser->{he_,}selection keeps NULL so user won't see annotation item in

Currently, the console output files ("console.log") are placed in the
build directory initially, then copied to the results directory.
One problem with this is if a qemu refuses to die in a timely fashion
after a kernel hang, it will continue to write after the next qemu
starts up, resulting in confusing output from the old instance of
qemu. This commit prevents such confusion by placing the console.log
files into the results directory to begin with, so that a given instance
of qemu is always writing only to its own console.log file.

therefore prints a summary listing the number of each type of warning/bug

makes it easier to find the warning/bugs in the full console.log.

Unfortunately, if there are a lot of batches, it is hard to quickly

this patch makes two changes to the way that "cpupower

1. make it so that querying individual values always returns a

currently cpupower frequency info doesn't return anything to the user when
querying an individual value cannot be returned
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]# cpupower -c 4 frequency-info -d
analyzing CPU 4:
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]#
I added messages so that each query prints a message to the terminal
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]# ./cpupower -c 4 frequency-info -d
analyzing CPU 4:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
[root@amd-dinar-09 cpupower]#
(this is just one example)

by cpufreq-info.c to query individual values of interest.

When support for _FIT was added, the code presumed that the data
returned by the _FIT method is identical to the NFIT table, which
starts with an acpi_table_header. However, the _FIT is defined
to return a data in the format of a series of NFIT type structure
entries and as a method, has an acpi_object header rather tahn
an acpi_table_header.
To address the differences, explicitly save the acpi_table_header
from the NFIT, since it is accessible through /sys, and change
the nfit pointer in the acpi_desc structure to point to the
table entries rather than the headers.

When perf report on TUI was called with -S symbol filter, it should
update nr entries even if min_pcnt is 0. IIRC the reason was to update
nr entries after applying minimum percent threshold. But if symbol
filter was given on command line (with -S option), it should use
hists->nr_non_filtered_entries instead of hists->nr_entries.
So this patch fixes a bug of navigating hists browser that the cursor
goes beyond the number of entries when -S (or similar) option is used.

If user gives a filter, perf marks the corresponding column elided and
omits the output. But it should process and aggregates samples using
the field, otherwise samples will be aggregated as if the column was not
there resulted in incorrect output.
For example, I'd like to set a filter on native_write_msr_safe. The
original overhead of the function is negligible.
$ perf report | grep native_write_msr_safe
0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] native_write_msr_safe
0.00% perf [kernel.vmlinux] native_write_msr_safe
However adding -S option gives different output.
$ perf report -S native_write_msr_safe --percentage absolute | \
> grep -e swapper -e perf
51.47% swapper [kernel.vmlinux]
4.14% perf [kernel.vmlinux]
Since it aggregated samples using comm and dso only. In fact, the above
values are same when it sorts with -s comm,dso.
$ perf report -s comm,dso | grep -e swapper -e perf
51.47% swapper [kernel.vmlinux]
4.14% perf [kernel.vmlinux]
This resulted in TUI failure with -ERANGE since it tries to increase
sample hit count for annotation with wrong symbols due to incorrect
aggregation.
This patch fixes it not to skip elided fields when comparing samples in
order to insert them to the hists.
