perf tools: Add time conversion event

Intel PT uses the time members from the perf_event_mmap_page to convert
between TSC and perf time.

Due to a lack of foresight when Intel PT was implemented, those time
members were recorded in the (implementation dependent) AUXTRACE_INFO
event, the structure of which is generally inaccessible outside of the
Intel PT decoder. However now the conversion between TSC and perf time
is needed when processing a jitdump file when Intel PT has been used for
tracing.

So add a user event to record the time members. 'perf record' will
synthesize the event if the information is available. And session
processing will put a copy of the event on the session so that tools
like 'perf inject' can easily access it.

perf kvm record/report: 'unprocessable sample' error while recording/reporting guest data

While recording guest samples in host using perf kvm record, it will
populate unprocessable sample error, though samples will be recorded
properly. While generating report using perf kvm report, no samples will
be processed and same error will populate. We have seen this behaviour
with upstream perf(4.4-rc3) on x86 and ppc64 hardware.

Reason behind this failure is, when it tries to fetch machine from
rb_tree of machines, it fails. As a part of tracing a bug, we figured
out that this code was incorrectly refactored in commit 54245fdc3576
("perf session: Remove wrappers to machines__find").

This patch will change the functionality such that if it can't fetch
machine in first trial, it will create one node of machine and add that to
rb_tree. So next time when it tries to fetch same machine from rb_tree,
it won't fail. Actually it was the case before refactoring of code in
aforementioned commit.

This patch is generated from acme perf/core branch.

Below I've mention an example that demonstrate the behaviour before and
after applying patch.

Before applying patch:
[Note: One needs to run guest before recording data in host]

perf record: Avoid infinite loop at buildid processing with no samples

If a session contains no events, we can get stuck in an infinite loop in
__perf_session__process_events, with a non-zero file_size and data_offset, but
a zero data_size.

In this case, we can mmap the entirety of the file (consisting of the file and
attribute headers), and fetch_mmaped_event will correctly refuse to read any
(unmapped and non-existent) event headers. This causes
__perf_session__process_events to unmap the file and retry with the exact same
parameters, getting stuck in an infinite loop.

This has been observed to result in an exit-time hang when counting
rare/unschedulable events with perf record, and can be triggered artificially
with the script below:

----
#!/bin/sh
printf "REPRO: launching perf\n";
./perf record -e software/config=9/ sleep 1 &
PERF_PID=$!;
sleep 0.002;
kill -2 $PERF_PID;
printf "REPRO: waiting for perf (%d) to exit...\n" "$PERF_PID";
wait $PERF_PID;
printf "REPRO: perf exited\n";
----

To avoid this, have __perf_session__process_events bail out early when
the file has no data (i.e. it has no events).

Commiter note:

I only managed to reproduce this when setting
/proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to '1' and changing the code to
purposefully not process any samples and no synthesized samples, i.e.
kptr_restrict prevents 'record' from synthesizing the kernel mmaps for
vmlinux + modules and since it is a workload started from perf, we don't
synthesize mmap/comm records for existing threads.

Adrian Hunter managed to reproduce it in his environment tho.

perf machine: Add pointer to sample's environment

The 'struct machine' represents the machine where the samples were/are
being collected, and we also have a 'struct perf_env' with extra details
about such machine, that we were collecting at 'perf.data' creation time
but we also needed when no perf.data file is being used, such as in
'perf top'.

So, get those structs closer together, as they provide a bigger picture
of the sample's environment.

In 'perf session', when the file argument is NULL, we can assume that
the tool is sampling the running machine, so point machine->env to
the global put in place in previous patches, while set it to the
perf_header.env one when reading from a file.

This paves the way for machine->env to be used in
perf_event__preprocess_sample to populate addr_location.socket.
