cannot change the value for those events. Fix it by allowing override
the default value if user gives one of the options.

perf tools: Add dcacheline sort
In perf's 'mem-mode', one can get access to a whole bunch of details specific to a
particular sample instruction. A bunch of those details relate to the data
address.
One interesting thing you can do with data addresses is to convert them into a unique
cacheline they belong too. Organizing these data cachelines into similar groups and sorting
them can reveal cache contention.
This patch creates an alogorithm based on various sample details that can help group
entries together into data cachelines and allows 'perf report' to sort on it.
The algorithm relies on having proper mmap2 support in the kernel to help determine
if the memory map the data address belongs to is private to a pid or globally shared.
The alogortithm is as follows:
o group cpumodes together
o group entries with discovered maps together
o sort on major, minor, inode and inode generation numbers
o if userspace anon, then sort on pid
o sort on cachelines based on data addresses
The 'dcacheline' sort option in 'perf report' only works in 'mem-mode'.
Note: Added a '+1' to symlen size in hists__calc_col_len to prevent the next column
from prematurely tabbing over and mis-aligning. Not sure what the problem is.

tools lib traceevent: Add options to plugins
The traceevent plugins allows developers to have their events print out
information that is more advanced than what can be achieved by the
trace event format files.
As these plugins are used on the userspace side of the tracing tools, it
is only logical that the tools should be able to produce different types
of output for the events. The types of events still need to be defined by
the plugins thus we need a way to pass information from the tool to the
plugin to specify what type of information to be shown.
Not only does the information need to be passed by the tool to plugin, but
the plugin also requires a way to notify the tool of what options it can
provide.
This builds the plugin option infrastructure that is taken from trace-cmd
that is used to allow plugins to produce different output based on the
options specified by the tool.

perf: Differentiate exec() and non-exec() comm events
perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings,
which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases.
For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch
events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process
has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens
it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim
(e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event
to differentiate one case from the other.
In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a
selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The
bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit
is set on kernels that do not have it defined.

With current output field change, GTK browser cannot display callchain

column is. This is a problem - just for now I changed to use the last

Also it has a same problem of the percentage as stdio code.

perf ui/stdio: Fix invalid percentage value of cumulated hist entries
On stdio, there's a problem that it shows invalid values for

about the self period. But with --children behavior, we always add
callchain info to the cumulated entries so it should use the value in
that case.

by accumulated period value. When accumulated periods of two entries
are same (i.e. single path callchain) put the caller above since
accumulation tends to put callers on higher position for obvious

There're some duplicate code when adding hist entries. They are
different in that some have branch info or mem info but generally do
same thing. So introduce new struct hist_entry_iter and add callbacks

The new perf_evsel__add_entry() function will look like:
iter->prepare_entry();
iter->add_single_entry();
while (iter->next_entry())
iter->add_next_entry();
iter->finish_entry();
This will help further work like the cumulative callchain patchset.
