perf stat: Output JSON MetricExpr metric

Add generic infrastructure to perf stat to output ratios for
"MetricExpr" entries in the event lists. Many events are more useful as
ratios than in raw form, typically some count in relation to total
ticks.

Transfer the MetricExpr information from the alias to the evsel.

We mark the events that need to be collected for MetricExpr, and also
link the events using them with a pointer. The code is careful to always
prefer the right event in the same group to minimize multiplexing
errors. At the moment only a single relation is supported.

Then add a rblist to the stat shadow code that remembers stats based on
the cpu and context.

Then finally update and retrieve and print these values similarly to the
existing hardcoded perf metrics. We use the simple expression parser
added earlier to evaluate the expression.

Normally we just output the result without further commentary, but for
--metric-only this would lead to empty columns. So for this case use the
original event as description.

There is no attempt to automatically add the MetricExpr event, if it is
missing, however we suggest it to the user, because the user tool
doesn't have enough information to reliably construct a group that is
guaranteed to schedule. So we leave that to the user.

perf tools: Query terminal width and use in perf list

Automatically adapt the now wider and word wrapped perf list output to
wider terminals. This requires querying the terminal before the auto
pager takes over, and exporting this information from the pager
subsystem.

perf pmu: Support alias descriptions

Add support to print alias descriptions in perf list, which are taken
from the generated event files.

The sorting code is changed to put the events with descriptions at the
end. The descriptions are printed as possibly multiple word wrapped
lines.

Example output:

% perf list
...
arith.fpu_div
[Divide operations executed]
arith.fpu_div_active
[Cycles when divider is busy executing divide operations]

Committer notes:

Further testing on a Broadwell machine (ThinkPad t450s), using these
files:

$ find tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/
tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/Broadwell

Taken from:

https://github.com/sukadev/linux/tree/json-code+data-v21/tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/x86/

to get this machinery to actually parse JSON files, generate
$(OUTPUT)pmu-events/pmu-events.c, compile it and link it with perf, that
will then use the table it contains, these files will be submitted right
after this patchkit.

perf pmu: Use pmu_events table to create aliases

At run time (when 'perf' is starting up), locate the specific table of
PMU events that corresponds to the current CPU. Using that table, create
aliases for the each of the PMU events in the CPU. The use these aliases
to parse the user specified perf event.

In short this would allow the user to specify events using their aliases
rather than raw event codes.

Based on input and some earlier patches from Andi Kleen, Jiri Olsa.

perf pmu: Support alternative sysfs cpumask

The perf tools can read a cpumask file for a PMU, describing a subset of
CPUs which that PMU covers. So far this has only been used to cater for
uncore PMUs, which in practice happen to only have a single CPU
described in the mask.

Until recently, the perf tools only correctly handled cpumask containing
a single CPU, and only when monitoring in system-wide mode. For example,
prior to commit 00e727bb389359c8 ("perf stat: Balance opening and
reading events"), a mask with more than a single CPU could cause perf
stat to hang. When a CPU PMU covers a subset of CPUs, but lacks a
cpumask, perf record will fail to open events (on the cores the PMU does
not support), and gives up.

For systems with heterogeneous CPUs such as ARM big.LITTLE systems, this
presents a problem. We have a PMU for each microarchitecture (e.g. a big
PMU and a little PMU), and would like to expose a cpumask for each (so
as to allow perf record and other tools to do the right thing). However,
doing so kernel-side will cause old perf binaries to not function (e.g.
hitting the issue solved by 00e727bb389359c8), and thus commits the
cardinal sin of breaking (existing) userspace.

To address this chicken-and-egg problem, this patch adds support got a
new file, cpus, which is largely identical to the existing cpumask file.
A kernel can expose this file, knowing that new perf binaries will
correctly support it, while old perf binaries will not look for it (and
thus will not be broken).
