For reducing memory usage of attribute table, x86 instruction
decoder puts "Group" attribute only on "no-last-prefix"
attribute table (same as vex_p == 0 case).
Thus, the decoder should look no-last-prefix table first, and
then only if it is not a group, move on to "with-last-prefix"
table (vex_p != 0).
However, current implementation, inat_get_avx_attribute()
looks with-last-prefix directly. So, when decoding
a grouped AVX instruction, the decoder fails to find correct
group because there is no "Group" attribute on the table.
This ends up with the mis-decoding of instructions, as Ingo
reported in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1214103
This patch fixes it to check no-last-prefix table first
even if that is an AVX instruction, and get an attribute from
"with last-prefix" table only if that is not a group.

This new test will validate these new routines extracted from 'perf
record':
- perf_evlist__config_attrs
- perf_evlist__prepare_workload
- perf_evlist__start_workload
In addition to several other perf_evlist methods.
It consists of starting a simple workload, setting up just one event to
monitor ("cycles") requesting that several PERF_SAMPLE_ fields be
present in all events.
It then will check that the expected PERF_RECORD_ events are produced
and will sanity check all its fields.
Some checks performed:
. PERF_SAMPLE_TIME monotonically increases.
. PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is the one requested with sched_setaffinity
. PERF_SAMPLE_TID and PERF_SAMPLE_PID matches the one we forked
in perf_evlist__prepare_workload and that is stored in
evlist->workload.pid
. For the events where these fields are also present in its
pre-sample_id_all fields (e.g. event->mmap.pid), that they are what
is expected too.
. That we get a bunch of mmaps:
PATH/libcSUFFIX
PATH/ldSUFFIX
[vdso]
PATH/sleep

[root@emilia ~]# taskset -c 3,4 perf test -v1 perf_sample

Currently the meaning of -C varies by perf command: for perf-top,
perf-stat, perf-record it means cpu list. For perf-report it means comm
list. Then perf-annotate, perf-report and perf-script use -c for cpu
list.
Fix annotate, report and script to use -C for cpu list to be consistent
with top, stat and record. This means report needs to use -c for comm
list which does introduce a backward compatibility change.
v1 -> v2
- update perf-script.txt too

We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just
one in util/debugfs.c will do.
Also rename debugfs_path to tracing_events_path, as it is not the path
to debugfs, that is debugfs_mountpoint. Both are now accessible.
This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without
having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c.
The defaults for these variables are the canonical "/sys/kernel/debug"
and "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/", removing the need for simple
tools to call debugfs_mount(NULL).

This patch solves the following problem:
Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is
restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ. A trace event is
divided on some samples according to event's period. I don't sure, that
we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the
better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and
in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events.
perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's
bug.
With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time
slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.
