This updates the perf tools with branch privilege information request flag
i.e PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_PRIV_SAVE that has been added earlier in the kernel.
This also updates 'perf record' documentation, branch_modes[], and generic
branch privilege level enumeration as added earlier in the kernel.

The new sample type, PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT, is an alternative of the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type. Users can apply either the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type or the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT sample
type to retrieve the sample weight, but they cannot apply both sample
types simultaneously.
The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT
sample type. The lower 32 bits are exactly the same for both sample
type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture.
Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample
type for X86. Only store the lower 32 bits for the sample->weight if the
new sample type is applied. In practice, no memory access could last
than 4G cycles. No data will be lost.
If the kernel doesn't support the new sample type. Fall back to the
PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT sample type.
There is no impact for other architectures.
Committer notes:
Fixup related to PERF_SAMPLE_CODE_PAGE_SIZE, present in acme/perf/core
but not upstream yet.

Add --buildid-mmap option to enable build id in PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 events.
It will only work if there's kernel support for that and it disables
build id cache (implies --no-buildid).
It's also possible to enable it permanently via config option in
~/.perfconfig file:
[record]
build-id=mmap
Also added build_id bit in the verbose output for perf_event_attr:
# perf record --buildid-mmap -vv
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1
size 120
...
build_id 1
Adding also missing text_poke bit.
Committer testing:
$ perf record -h build
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-B, --no-buildid do not collect buildids in perf.data
-N, --no-buildid-cache
do not update the buildid cache
--buildid-all Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits
--buildid-mmap Record build-id in map events
$
$ perf record --buildid-mmap sleep 1
Failed: no support to record build id in mmap events, update your kernel.
$
After adding the needed kernel bits in a test kernel:
$ perf record -vv --buildid-mmap sleep 1 |& grep -m1 build

A new branch sample type PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_HW_INDEX has been introduced
in latest kernel.
Enable HW_INDEX by default in LBR call stack mode.
If kernel doesn't support the sample type, switching it off.
Add HW_INDEX in attr_fprintf as well. User can check whether the branch
sample type is set via debug information or header.
Committer testing:
First collect some samples with LBR callchains, system wide, for a few
seconds:
# perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 5
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.625 MB perf.data (224 samples) ]
#
Now lets use 'perf evlist -v' to look at the branch_sample_type:
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES|HW_INDEX
#
So the machine has the kernel feature, and it was correctly added to
perf_event_attr.branch_sample_type, for the default 'cycles' event.
If we do it in another machine, where the kernel lacks the HW_INDEX
feature, we get:
# perf record --call-graph lbr -a sleep 2s
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.690 MB perf.data (499 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|CPU|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, branch_sample_type: USER|CALL_STACK|NO_FLAGS|NO_CYCLES
#
No HW_INDEX in attr.branch_sample_type.

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into
line with the kernel version.
New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area
buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the
desired size of the sample.
Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e.
PERF_SAMPLE_AUX.
Committer notes:
I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking
automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch
in this series we would have:
# perf test -v parsing
26: Sample parsing :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 17018
sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sample parsing: FAILED!
#
With the two paches combined:
# perf test parsing
26: Sample parsing : Ok

We already had evsel_fprintf.c, add its counterpart, so that we can
reduce evsel.h a bit more.
We needed a new perf_event_attr_fprintf.c file so as to have a separate
object to link with the python binding in tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
and not drag symbol_conf, etc into the python binding.
