When processing PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO several perf_evsel entries
will be synthesized and inserted into session->evlist, eventually ending
in perf_script.tool.sample(), which ends up calling builtin-script.c's
process_event(), that expects evsel->priv to be a perf_evsel_script
object with a valid FILE pointer in fp.
So we need to intercept the processing of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO and
then setup evsel->priv for these newly created perf_evsel instances, do
it to fix the segfault in process_event() trying to use a NULL for that
FILE pointer.

Use a typed enum for the perf_evsel_config_term type enum. This allows
gcc to do much stronger type checks, and also check for missing case
statements.
I removed the unused _MAX member from the number.
It found one missing case. I'm not sure it's a real problem, so I just
turned it into a BUG_ON for now.

The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the
default period.
Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F,
because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the
internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the
command line options.
Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the
term. Any weak terms don't override command line options.
I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's
broken currently.
Before:
$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 2000003
After:
$ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any
...
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 1000

For correct unwinding of user space processes, the floating-point
register contents are required. For example, leaf functions might
use fp registers to temporarily store the return address.

Perf tool need implement a callback to enable using AUX buffer. Perf
will do another mmap() to trigger the setup of AUX buffer in kernel
if there is such callback. The default size of the AUX buffer is set
properly according to the sampling frequency to avoid overflow. It
could also be manually set by -m option of perf.
The interface of perf is not changed. Diagnostic mode sampling
could be started by `perf record -e rBD000` like before.

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
Kernel:
- kprobes updates: use better W^X patterns for code modifications,
improve optprobes, remove jprobes. (Masami Hiramatsu, Kees Cook)
- core fixes: event timekeeping (enabled/running times statistics)
fixes, perf_event_read() locking fixes and cleanups, etc. (Peter
Zijlstra)
- Extend x86 Intel free-running PEBS support and support x86
user-register sampling in perf record and perf script. (Andi Kleen)
Tooling:
- Completely rework the way inline frames are handled. Instead of
querying for the inline nodes on-demand in the individual tools, we
now create proper callchain nodes for inlined frames. (Milian
Wolff)
- 'perf trace' updates (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Implement a way to print formatted output to per-event files in
'perf script' to facilitate generate flamegraphs, elliminating the
need to write scripts to do that separation (yuzhoujian, Arnaldo
Carvalho de Melo)
- Update vendor events JSON metrics for Intel's Broadwell, Broadwell
Server, Haswell, Haswell Server, IvyBridge, IvyTown, JakeTown,
Sandy Bridge, Skylake, SkyLake Server - and Goldmont Plus V1 (Andi
Kleen, Kan Liang)
- Multithread the synthesizing of PERF_RECORD_ events for
pre-existing threads in 'perf top', speeding up that phase, greatly
improving the user experience in systems such as Intel's Knights
Mill (Kan Liang)
- Introduce the concept of weak groups in 'perf stat': try to set up
a group, but if it's not schedulable fallback to not using a group.
That gives us the best of both worlds: groups if they work, but
still a usable fallback if they don't. E.g: (Andi Kleen)
- perf sched timehist enhancements (David Ahern)

Changing the way the annotation lines are allocated and adding
annotation_line__(new|delete) functions to deal with this.
Before the allocation schema was as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------
struct disasm_line | struct annotation_line | private space
-----------------------------------------------------------
Where the private space is used in TUI code to store computed
annotation data for events. The stdio code computes the data
on the fly.
The goal is to compute and store annotation line's data directly
in the struct annotation_line itself, so this patch changes the
line allocation schema as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------
privsize space | struct disasm_line | struct annotation_line
------------------------------------------------------------
Moving struct annotation_line to the end, because in following
changes we will move here the non-fixed length event's data.
