602ad878d4 perf target: Shorten perf_target__ to target__
Getting unwieldly long, for this app domain should be descriptive enough
and the use of __ to separate the class from the method names should
help with avoiding clashes with other code bases.

a33fbd56ec perf machine: Simplify synthesize_threads method
Several tools (top, kvm) don't need to be called back to process each of
the syntheiszed records, instead relying on the machine__process_event
function to change the per machine data structures that represent
threads and mmaps, so provide a way to ask for this common idiom.

62605dc50c perf record: Synthesize non-exec MMAP records when --data used
When perf_event_attr.mmap_data is set the kernel will generate
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events when non-exec (data, SysV mem) mmaps are
created, so we need to synthesize from /proc/pid/maps for existing
threads, as we do for exec mmaps.

Right now just 'perf record' does it, but any other tool that uses
perf_event__synthesize_thread(s|map) can request it.

If perf is killed due to a SIGTERM it does not run the on_exit hooks
leaving the perf.data file in a random state which perf-report will
happily spin on trying to read.

As noted by Mike an easy reproducer is:

perf record -a -g & sleep 1; killall perf

Fix by catching SIGTERM like it does SIGINT.

Also need to remove the kill which was added via commit f7b7c26e.

05484298cb perf tools: Add support for weight v7 (modified)
perf record has a new option -W that enables weightened sampling.

Add sorting support in top/report for the average weight per sample and the
total weight sum. This allows to both compare relative cost per event
and the total cost over the measurement period.

Add the necessary glue to perf report, record and the library.

v2: Merge with new hist refactoring.
v3: Fix manpage. Remove value check.
Rename global_weight to weight and weight to local_weight.
v4: Readd sort keys to manpage
v5: Move weight to end
v6: Move weight to template
v7: Rename weight key.

Original patch from Andi modified by Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
to include ONLY the weight supporting code and apply to pristine 3.8.0-rc4.

774cb499ca perf tools: Fix 'disabled' attribute config for record command
Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled.

There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all
events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole
enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced
program got executed.

What we actually want is:

1) For any type of traced program:
  - all independent events and group leaders are disabled
  - all group members are enabled

   Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to
   be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that.

2) For traced programs executed by perf:
   - all independent events and group leaders have
     enable_on_exec set
   - we don't specifically enable or disable any event during
     the record command

   Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled
   and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group
   leaders as stated in 1).

3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid):
   - we specifically enable or disable all events during
     the record command

   When attaching events to already running traced we
   enable/disable events specifically, as there's no
   initial traced exec call.

Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.
