Committer note:
Do not use 'read' as a variable name as it breaks the build on older
systems, such as RHEL6:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
util/session.c: In function 'dump_read':
util/session.c:1132: error: declaration of 'read' shadows a global declaration

perf record -b -g <command>
perf report --branch-history
This merges the LBRs with the callgraphs.
However it would be nice if it also works without callgraphs (-g) set in
perf record, so that only the LBRs are displayed. But currently perf
report errors in this case. For example,
perf record -b <command>
perf report --branch-history
Error:
Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did
you call 'perf record' without -g?
This patch displays the LBRs only even if callgraphs(-g) is not enabled
in perf record.
Change log:
v2: According to Milian Wolff's comment, change the obsolete error
message. Now the error message is:
┌─Error:─────────────────────────────────────┐
│Selected -g or --branch-history. │
│But no callchain or branch data. │
│Did you call 'perf record' without -g or -b?│

Show the branch type statistics at the end of perf report --stdio.
For example:
perf report --stdio
COND_FWD: 28.5%
COND_BWD: 9.4%
CROSS_4K: 0.7%
CROSS_2M: 14.1%
COND: 37.9%
UNCOND: 0.2%
IND: 6.7%
CALL: 26.5%
RET: 28.7%
SYSRET: 0.0%
The branch types are:
COND_FWD: conditional forward
COND_BWD: conditional backward
COND: conditional branch
UNCOND: unconditional branch
IND: indirect
CALL: function call
IND_CALL: indirect function call
RET: function return
SYSCALL: syscall
SYSRET: syscall return
COND_CALL: conditional function call
COND_RET: conditional function return
CROSS_4K and CROSS_2M:
They are the metrics checking for branches cross 4K or 2MB pages.
It's an approximate computing. We don't know if the area is 4K or
2MB, so always compute both.
To make the output simple, if a branch crosses 2M area, CROSS_4K
will not be incremented.
Change log
v7: Since the common branch type definitions are changed, some
tags/strings are updated accordingly.
v6: Remove branch_type_stat_display() since it's moved to branch.c.
v5: Remove the unnecessary sort__mode checking in
hist_iter__branch_callback().
v4: Comparing to previous version, the major changes are:
Add the computing of JCC forward/JCC backward and cross page checking
by using the from and to addresses.

Add header record types to pipe-mode, reusing the functions
used in file-mode and leveraging the new struct feat_fd.
For alignment, check that synthesized events don't exceed
pagesize.
Add the perf_event__synthesize_feature event call back to
process the new header records.

Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted
by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update
perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace
events.
Committer notes:
Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D'
and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move
here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch.
Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt:
util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=]
ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx

The tip message at the end was printed regardless of the -q option.
Originally, the message suggested only '-s comm,dso' option for higher
level view when no sort option and parent option were given.
Now it shows random help message regardless of the options so the
condition can be simplified to honor the -q option.

We still have those two extra lines tho (that git commit insists in
turning into one, or git commit --amend doesn't make me add), food for
another patch...
