8d51327090 perf report: Fix and improve the displaying of per-thread event counters
Improve and fix the handling of per-thread counter stats
recorded via perf record -s. Previously we only displayed
it in debug printouts (-D) and even that output was hard
to disambiguate.

I moved everything to utils/values.[ch] so that we may reuse
it in perf stat.

We get something like this now:

 #  PID   TID  cache-misses  cache-references
   4658  4659        495581           3238779
   4658  4662        498246           3236823
   4658  4663        499531           3243162

Then it'll be easy to add --pretty=raw to display a single line per thread/event.

By the way, -S was also used for --symbol... So I used -T/--thread here.

perf report: Add -T/--threads to display per-thread counter values

 We get something like this now:
 #  PID   TID  cache-misses  cache-references
   4658  4659        495581           3238779
   4658  4662        498246           3236823
   4658  4663        499531           3243162

Per-thread arrays of counter values are managed in utils/values.[ch]

52d422de22 perf report: Adjust column width to the values sampled
Auto-adjust column width of perf report output to the
longest occuring string length.

Example:

[acme@doppio pahole]$  perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol | head -13

    12.79%   pahole  /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so    [.] __libdw_find_attr
     8.90%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so        [.] _int_malloc
     8.68%   pahole  /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so    [.] __libdw_form_val_len
     8.15%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so        [.] __GI_strcmp
     6.80%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so        [.] __tsearch
     5.54%   pahole  ./build/libdwarves.so.1.0.0  [.] tag__recode_dwarf_type
[acme@doppio pahole]$

[acme@doppio pahole]$  perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol -d /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so | head -10

    21.92%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so  [.] _int_malloc
    20.08%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so  [.] __GI_strcmp
    16.75%   pahole  /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so  [.] __tsearch
[acme@doppio pahole]$

Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour:

  -w, --field-width

Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.

  -t, --field-separator:

Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with
a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

7bec7a9134 perf report: Add --symbols parameter
So that we can filter by symbol name.

The 'pfunct' utility in the 'dwarves' package can be used to
create a file with the functions one wants.

Example:

[acme@doppio pahole]$ wc -l /tmp/dwarf.symbols

[acme@doppio pahole]$ head -3 /tmp/dwarf.symbols
dwfl_addrdwarf
dwfl_module_getdwarf
dwfl_getdwarf

864709302a perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.
