e6e18ec79b perf_counter: Rework the sample ABI
The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.

Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.

This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

9cffa8d533 perf_counter tools: Define and use our own u64, s64 etc. definitions
On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long.  This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.

Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8.  These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.

The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__".  The other changes are:

* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
  to kill two remaining warnings.

c17c2db1f3 perf annotate: Fixes for filename:line displays
- fix addr2line on userspace binary: don't only check kernel image.
- fix string allocation size for path: missing ending null char room
- fix overflow in symbol extra info

971738f366 perf annotate: Print a sorted summary of annotated overhead lines
It's can be very annoying to scroll down perf annotated output
until we find relevant overhead.

Using the -l option, you can now have a small summary sorted per
overhead in the beginning of the output.

Example:

./perf annotate -l -k ../../vmlinux -s __lock_acquire

Sorted summary for file ../../vmlinux

301406b9c6 perf annotate: Print the filename:line for annotated colored lines
When we have a colored line in perf annotate, ie a middle/high
overhead one, it's sometimes useful to get the matching line
and filename from the source file, especially this path prepares
to another subsequent one which will print a sorted summary of
midle/high overhead lines in the beginning of the output.

Filename:Lines have the same color than the concerned ip lines.

It can be slow because it relies on addr2line. We could also
use objdump with -l but that implies we would have to bufferize
objdump output and parse it to filter the relevant lines since
we want to print a sorted summary in the beginning.

729ff5e2aa perf_counter tools: Clean up u64 usage
A build error slipped in:

 builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
 builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

 - high overhead: red
 -  mid overhead: green
 -  low overhead: normal (white/black)

23b87116c7 perf annotate: Fix command line help text
Arjan noticed this bug in the perf annotate help output:

    -s, --symbol <file>   symbol to annotate

that should be <symbol> instead.

39273ee975 perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directory
Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.

The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.

The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
tools can pick it up automatically.

tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
