ec073619cd perf: fix duplicate header inclusion
#include <stdbool.h> somehow got duplicated on its way to linus's tree
(probably as a conflict resolution as things got sent through multiple
trees)

d6ff127392 rbtree: adjust node color in __rb_erase_color() only when necessary
In __rb_erase_color(), we were always setting a node to black after
exiting the main loop.  And in one case, after fixing up the tree to
satisfy all rbtree invariants, we were setting the current node to root
just to guarantee a loop exit, at which point the root would be set to
black.  However this is not necessary, as the root of an rbtree is already
known to be black.  The only case where the color flip is required is when
we exit the loop due to the current node being red, and it's easiest to
just do the flip at that point instead of doing it after the loop.

d816ec2d1b perf tools: Update Makefile for Android
For cross-compiling on Android, some specific changes are needed in
the Makefile.

Update the Makefile to support cross-compiling for Android.
The original ideea for this was send by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316, but this is a rewrite.

Changes:
() support bionic in addition to glibc
() remove rt and pthread libraries that do not exist in Android
() use $(CFLAGS) when detecting initial compiler flags. This is needed
when setting CFLAGS as an argument of make (e.g. for setting --sysroot).
() include perf's local directory when building for Android to be able to find
relative paths if using --sysroot (e.g.: ../../include/linux/perf_event.h)

78da39faf7 perf tools: Add on_exit implementation
on_exit() is only available in new versions of glibc.
It is not implemented in Bionic and will lead to linking errors when
compiling for Android.

Implement a wrapper for on_exit using atexit.

The implementation for on_exit is the one sent by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/316. The configuration part from the Makefile
is different than the one from the original patch.

b0a7d1a0cd perf machine: Carve up event processing specific from perf_tool
The perf_tool vtable expects methods that receive perf_tool and
perf_sample entries, but for tools not interested in doing any special
processing on non PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE events, like 'perf top', and for
those not using perf_session, like 'perf trace', they were using
perf_event__process passing tool and sample paramenters that were just
not used.

Provide 'machine' methods for this purpose and make the perf_event
ones use them.

f62d3f0f45 perf event: No need to create a thread when handling PERF_RECORD_EXIT
When we were processing a PERF_RECORD_EXIT event we first used
machine__findnew_thread for both the thread exiting and for its parent,
only to use just the thread struct associated with the one exiting, and
to just delete it.

If it existed, i.e. not created at this very moment in
machine__findnew_thread, it will be moved to the machine->dead_threads
linked list, because we may have hist_entries pointing to it, but if it
was created just do be deleted, it will just sit there with no
references at all.

Use the new machine__find_thread() method so that if it is not there, we
don't create it.

As a bonus the parent thread will also not be created at this point.

Create process_fork() and process_exit() helpers to use this and make
the builtins use it instead of the generic process_task(), ditched by
this patch.

81d5f95819 perf diff: Add weighted diff computation way to compare hist entries
Adding 'wdiff' as new computation way to compare hist entries.

If specified the 'Weighted diff' column is displayed with value 'd'
computed as:

   d = B->period * WEIGHT-A - A->period * WEIGHT-B

  - A/B being matching hist entry from first/second file specified
    (or perf.data/perf.data.old) respectively.
  - period being the hist entry period value
  - WEIGHT-A/WEIGHT-B being user suplied weights in the the '-c' option
    behind ':' separator like '-c wdiff:1,2'.

Currently tracepoint events cannot be completed because they contain a
colon (:) character.  The colon is considered as a word separator when
bash completion is done - variable COMP_WORDBREAKS contains colon - so
if a word being completed contains a colon it can be a problem.

Recent versions of bash completion provide -n switch to
_get_comp_words_by_ref and __ltrim_colon_completions functions in order
to resolve this issue.  Copy the latter in case not exists.

b1e0d8b70f kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.
