Add __return suffix for function return events automatically. Without
this, user have to give --force option and will see the number suffix
for each event like "function_1", which is not easy to recognize.
Instead, this adds __return suffix to it automatically. E.g.
=====
# ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so 'malloc*%return'
Added new events:
probe_libc:malloc_printerr__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_consolidate__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_check__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_hook_ini__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_trim__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_usable_size__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_stats__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_info__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:mallochook__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_get_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return -aR sleep 1

Cut off the version suffix (e.g. @GLIBC_2.2.5 etc.) from automatic
generated event name. This fixes wildcard event adding like below case;
=====
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc*
Internal error: "malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2" is wrong event name.
Error: Failed to add events.
=====
This failure was caused by a versioned suffix symbol.
With this fix, perf probe automatically cuts the suffix after @ as
below.

Currently, if we execute 'perf stat --per-thread' without specifying
pid/tid, perf will return error.
root@skl:/tmp# perf stat --per-thread
The --per-thread option is only available when monitoring via -p -t options.
-p, --pid <pid> stat events on existing process id
-t, --tid <tid> stat events on existing thread id
This patch removes this limitation. If no pid/tid specified, it returns
all threads (get threads from /proc).
Note that it doesn't support cpu_list yet so if it's a cpu_list case,
then skip.

The function perf_stat__print_shadow_stats() is called to print the
shadow stats on a set of static variables.
But the static variables are the limitations to support
per-thread shadow stats.
This patch lets the perf_stat__print_shadow_stats() support
to print the shadow stats from a input parameter 'st'.
It will not directly get value from static variable. Instead,
it now uses runtime_stat_avg() and runtime_stat_n() to get and
compute the values.

'perf record' can switch its output data file. The new output should
only store the data after switching. However, in overwrite backward
mode, the new output still can have data from before switching. That
also brings extra overhead.
At the end of mmap_read(), the position of the processed ring buffer is
saved in md->prev. Next mmap_read should be end in md->prev if it is not
overwriten. That avoids processing duplicate data. However, md->prev is
discarded. So next the mmap_read() has to process whole valid ring
buffer, which probably includes old processed data.
Avoid calling backward_rb_find_range() when md->prev is still
available.

The powerpc cpuid information includes chip revision information.
Changes between chip revisions are usually minor bug fixes and usually
do not affect the operation of the performance monitoring hardware.
The original mapfile.csv matching requires enumerating every possible
cpuid string. When a new minor chip revision is produced a new entry
has to be added to the mapfile.csv and the code recompiled to allow perf
to have the implementation specific perf events for this new minor
revision. For users of various distibutions of Linux having to wait for
a new release of the kernel's perf tool to be built with these trivial
patches is inconvenient.
Using regular expressions rather than exactly string matching of the
entire cpuid string allows developers to write mapfile.csv files that do
not require patches and recompiles for each of these minor version
changes. If special cases need to be made for some particular versions,
they can be placed earlier in the mapfile.csv file before the more
general matches.

The command 'perf annotate' parses the output of objdump and also
investigates the comments produced by objdump. For example the
output of objdump produces (on x86):
23eee: 4c 8b 3d 13 01 21 00 mov 0x210113(%rip),%r15
# 234008 <stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9a8>
and the function mov__parse() is called to investigate the complete
line. Mov__parse() breaks this line into several parts and finally
calls function comment__symbol() to parse the data after the comment
character '#'. Comment__symbol() expects a hexadecimal address followed
by a symbol in '<' and '>' brackets.
However the 2nd parameter given to function comment__symbol()
always points to the comment character '#'. The address parsing
always returns 0 because the character '#' is not a digit and
strtoull() fails without being noticed.
Fix this by advancing the second parameter to function comment__symbol()
by one byte before invocation and add an error check after strtoull()
has been called.

Add support for computing 'perf stat' style metrics in 'perf script'.
When using leader sampling we can get metrics for each sampling period
by computing formulas over the values of the different group members.
This allows things like fine grained IPC tracking through sampling, much
more fine grained than with 'perf stat'.
The metric is still averaged over the sampling period, it is not just
for the sampling point.
This patch adds a new metric output field for 'perf script' that uses
the existing 'perf stat' metrics infrastructure to compute any metrics
supported by 'perf stat'.
For example to sample IPC:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles,instructions}:S' -a sleep 1
$ perf script -F metric,ip,sym,time,cpu,comm

Extra explanation about the use of the term 'averaging', from Andi in the
thread in the Link: tag below:
<quote Andi>
The current samples contains the sum of event counts for a sampling period.
EventA-1 EventA-2 EventA-3 EventA-4
EventB-1 EventB-2 EventC-3
gap with no events overflow
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
period-start period-end
^ ^
| |
previous sample current sample
So EventA = 4 and EventB = 3 at the sample point
I generate a metric, let's say EventA / EventB. It applies to the whole period.
But the metric is over a longer time which does not have the same behavior. For
example the gap above doesn't have any events, while they are clustered at the
beginning and end of the sample period.
But we're summing everything together. The metric doesn't know that the gap is
different than the busy period.
That's what I'm trying to express with averaging.
