Add Documentation/perf-stat.txt and Documentation/perf-top.txt.

Fix up small bugs to make these help texts show up both in the 'perf'

First very raw version at having a central 'perf' command and
a list of subcommands:
perf top
perf stat
perf record
perf report
...
This is done by picking up Git's collection of utility functions,
and hacking them to build fine in this new environment.

We'd like to have a similar user-space structure as Git has, for the
perfcounter tools - so copy in Git's toplevel makefile as-is.
We'll strip it down in subsequent commits to make it fit the
perfcounters code.

Impact: new functionality
This adds add an option to the perfstat mode of kerneltop to scale the
reported counter values according to the fraction of time that each
counter gets to count. This is invoked with the -l option (I used 'l'
because s, c, a and e were all taken already.) This uses the new
PERF_RECORD_TOTAL_TIME_{ENABLED,RUNNING} read format options.
With this, we get output like this:
$ ./perfstat -l -e 0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3,0:4,0:5 ./spin
Performance counter stats for './spin':
4016072055 CPU cycles (events) (scaled from 66.53%)
2005887318 instructions (events) (scaled from 66.53%)
1762849 cache references (events) (scaled from 66.69%)
165229 cache misses (events) (scaled from 66.85%)
1001298009 branches (events) (scaled from 66.78%)
41566 branch misses (events) (scaled from 66.61%)
Wall-clock time elapsed: 2438.227446 msecs
This also lets us detect when a counter is zero because the counter
never got to go on the CPU at all. In that case we print <not counted>
rather than 0.

This should fix the most obvious poll fubar.. not enough to fix the

The glib dependency in kerneltop.c is only for a little bit of list
manipulation, and I find it inconvenient. This adds a 'next' field to
struct source_line, which lets us link them together into a list. The
code to do the linking ourselves turns out to be no longer or more
difficult than using glib.
This also fixes a few other problems:
- We need to #include <limits.h> to get PATH_MAX on powerpc.
- We need to #include <linux/types.h> rather than have our own
definitions of __u64 and __s64; on powerpc the installed headers
define them to be unsigned long and long respectively, and if we
have our own, different definition here that causes a compile error.
- This takes out the x86 setting of errno from -ret in
sys_perf_counter_open. My experiments on x86 indicate that the
glibc syscall() does this for us already.
- We had two CPU migration counters in the default set, which seems
unnecessary; I changed one of them to a context switch counter.
- In perfstat mode we were printing CPU cycles and instructions as
milliseconds, and the cpu clock and task clock counters as events.
This fixes that.
- In perfstat mode we were still printing a blank line after the first
counter, which was a holdover from when a task clock counter was
automatically included as the first counter. This removes the blank
line.
- On a test machine here, parse_symbols() and parse_vmlinux() were
taking long enough (almost 0.5 seconds) for the mmap buffer to
overflow before we got to the first mmap_read() call, so this moves
them before we open all the counters.
- The error message if sys_perf_counter_open fails needs to use errno,
not -fd[i][counter].

Commit b7368fdd7d decreased the CPU cycles interval 100-fold, but
this is causig kerneltop failures on my Nehalem box:
aldebaran:/home/mingo/linux/linux/Documentation/perf_counter>
./kerneltop
KernelTop refresh period: 2 seconds
ERROR: failed to keep up with mmap data
10,000 cycles is way too short.
What we should do instead on mostly-idle systems is some sort of
read/poll timeout, so that we display something every 2 seconds
for sure.
