perf report: Display the branch counter histogram

Reusing the existing --total-cycles option to display the branch
counters. Add a new PERF_HPP_REPORT__BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER to display
the logged branch counter events. They are shown right after all the
cycle-related annotations.

Extend the 'struct block_info' to store and pass the branch counter
related information.

The annotation_br_cntr_entry() is to print the histogram of each branch
counter event. If the number of logged events is less than 4, the exact
number of the abbr name is printed. Otherwise, using '+' to stands for
more than 3 events.

Assume the number of logged events is less than 4.

The annotation_br_cntr_abbr_list() prints the branch counter's
abbreviation list. Press 'B' to display the list in the TUI mode.

$ perf record -e "{branch-instructions:ppp,branch-misses}:S" -j any,counter

perf annotate: Save branch counters for each block

When annotating a basic block, it's useful to display the occurrences
of other events in the block.

The branch counter feature is only available for newer Intel platforms.

So a dedicated option to display the branch counters is not introduced.

Reuse the existing --total-cycles option, which triggers the annotation
of a basic block and displays the cycle-related annotation.

When the branch counters information is available, the branch counters
are automatically appended after all the cycle-related annotation.

Accounting the branch counters as well when accounting the cycles in
hist__account_cycles().

In 'struct annotated_branch', introduce a br_cntr array to save the
accumulation of each branch counter.

In a sample, all the branch counters for a branch are saved in a u64
space.

Because the saturation of a branch counter is small, e.g., for Intel
Sierra Forest, the saturation is only 3.

Add ANNOTATION__BR_CNTR_SATURATED_FLAG to indicate if a branch counter
once saturated. That can be used to indicate a potential event lost
because of the saturation.

perf srcline: Optimize comparision against SRCLINE_UNKNOWN

This is a string constant that gets returned and then strcmp() around,
we can instead just do a pointer comparision.

That requires a new global variable to comply with these warnings from
some versions of clang and gcc:

^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 41

Ack comments:

Agreed, the strcmps make me nervous as they won't distinguish heap from
a global meaning we could end up with things like pointers to freed
memory. The comparison with the global is always going to be same imo.

perf hist: Add 'kvm_info' field in histograms entry

__hists__add_entry() creates a temporary entry and compare it with
existed histograms entries, if any existed entry equals to the
temporary entry it skips to allocation to avoid duplication.

The problem for support KVM event in histograms is it doesn't contain
any info to identify KVM event and can be used for comparison entries.

This patch adds 'kvm_info' field in the histograms entry which contains
the KVM event's key, this identifier will be used for comparison
histograms entries in later change.

perf diff: Don't crash on freeing errno-session on the error path

__cmd_diff() sets result of perf_session__new() to d->session.

In case of failure, it's errno and perf-diff may crash with:

failed to open perf.data: Permission denied
Failed to open perf.data
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

From the coredump:

0 0x00005569a62b5955 in auxtrace__free (session=0xffffffffffffffff)
at util/auxtrace.c:2681
1 0x00005569a626b37d in perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff)
at util/session.c:295
2 perf_session__delete (session=0xffffffffffffffff) at util/session.c:291
3 0x00005569a618008a in __cmd_diff () at builtin-diff.c:1239
4 cmd_diff (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at builtin-diff.c:2011
[..]

Funny enough, it won't always crash. For me it crashes only if failed
file is second in cmd-line: the reason is that cmd_diff() check files for
branch-stacks [in check_file_brstack()] and if the first file doesn't
have brstacks, it doesn't proceed to try open other files from cmd-line.

Check d->session before calling perf_session__delete().

Another solution would be assigning to temporary variable, checking it,
but I find it easier to follow with IS_ERR() check in the same function.
After some time it's still obvious why the check is needed, and with
temp variable it's possible to make the same mistake.

'perf diff' uses block_pair_cmp() to compare two blocks. But
block_info__cmp() has the similar functionality and it's a bit more

This patch removes block_pair_cmp() and uses __block_info__cmp()
instead. __block_info__cmp() is wrapped by block_info__cmp() and it
doesn't receives a perf_hpp_fmt parameter.

The following are unspecified:
