The recent perf_evsel__fprintf_callchain() move to evsel.c added several
new symbol requirements to the python binding, for instance:
# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 18030
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
callchain_cursor
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
This would require linking against callchain.c to access to the global
callchain_cursor variables.
Since lots of functions already receive as a parameter a
callchain_cursor struct pointer, make that be the case for some more
function so that we can start phasing out usage of yet another global
variable.

When hierarchy mode is enabled, each entry in a hierarchy level shares
the period. IOW an upper level entry's period is the sum of lower level
entries. Thus perf uses only one of them to calculate the total period
of hists. It was lowest-level (leaf) entries but it has a problem when
it comes to filters.
If a filter is applied, entries in the same level will be filtered or
not. But upper level entries still have period of their sum including
filtered one. So total sum of upper level entries will not be same as
sum of lower level entries.
This resulted in entries having more than 100% of overhead and it can be
produced using perf top with filter(s).

When a command-line filter is applied in hierarchy mode, output is
broken especially when filtering on lower level. The higher level
entries doesn't show up so it's hard to see the results.
Also it needs to handle multi sort keys in a single hierarchy level.

The column width of dynamic entries is updated when comparing hist
entries. However some unique entries can miss the chance to update. So
move the update to output resort stage to make sure every entry will get
called before display.
To do that, abuse ->sort callback to update the width when the third
argument is NULL. When resorting entries in normal path, it never be
NULL so it should be fine IMHO.

When dynamic sort key is used it might not show pretty printed output.
This is because the trace output was not set only for the first dynamic
sort key. During hierarchy_insert_entry() it missed to pass the
trace_output to dynamic entries. Also even if it did, only first entry
will have it. Subsequent entries might set it during collapsing stage
but it's not guaranteed.

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).

In hierarchy mode, a filter can affect periods of entries in upper
hierarchy. So it needs to resort the hists after filter.
For example, let's look at following example:
Overhead Command / Shared Object / Symbol
------------ --------------------------------
30.00% perf
20.00% perf
10.00% main
5.00% pr_debug
5.00% memcpy
10.00% [kernel.vmlinux]
8.00% memset
2.00% cpu_idle
If we apply simbol filter for 'mem' it should look like this
13.00% perf
8.00% [kernel.vmlinux]
8.00% memset
5.00% perf
5.00% memcpy

The hists__filter_hierarchy() function implements filtering in hierarchy
mode. Now we have hist_entry__filter() so use it for entries in the
hierarchy. It returns 3 kind of values.
A negative value means that it's not filtered by this type. It marks
current entry as filtered tentatively so if a lower level entry removes
the filter it also removes the all parent so that we can find the entry
in the output.
Zero means it's filtered out by this type. A positive value means it's
not filtered so it removes the filter and shows in the output. In these
cases, it moves to next entry since lower level entry won't match by
this type of filter anymore. Thus all children will be filtered or not
together.

In the hierarchical view, entries will be grouped and sorted on the
first key, and then on the second key, and so on. Add the
he->hroot_{in,out} fields to keep the lower level entries. Actually this
can share space, in a union, with callchain's 'sorted_root' since the
hroots are only used by non-leaf entries and callchain is only used by
leaf entries.
It also adds the 'parent_he' and 'depth' fields which can be used by browsers.
This patch only implements collapsing part which creates internal
entries for each sort key. These need to be sorted by output_sort stage
and to be displayed properly in the later patch(es).

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'.

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.
