Hello,

This is my third attempt to implement cumulative hist period report.
This work begins from Arun's SORT_INCLUSIVE patch [1] but I completely
rewrote it from scratch.

Please see the patch 04/18.  I refactored functions that add hist
entries with struct add_entry_iter.  While I converted all functions
carefully, it'd be better anyone can test and confirm that I didn't
mess up something - especially for branch stack and mem stuff.

This patchset basically adds period in a sample to every node in the
callchain.  A hist_entry now has an additional fields to keep the
cumulative period if --cumulate option is given on perf report.

I changed the option as a separate --cumulate and added a new "Total"
column (and renamed the default "Overhead" column into "Self").  The
output will be sorted by total (cumulative) overhead for now.  The
reason I changed to the --cumulate is that I still think it's much
different from other --callchain options and I plan to add support for
showing (remaining) callchains to cumulative entries too.  The
--callchain option will take care of it even with --cumulate option.

I know that the UI should be changed also to be more flexible as Ingo
requested, but I'd like to do this first and then move to work on the
next.  I also added a new config option to enable it by default.

 * changes in v3:
  - change to --cumulate option
  - fix a couple of bugs (Jiri, Rodrigo)
  - rename some help functions (Arnaldo)
  - cache previous hist entries rathen than just symbol and dso
  - add some preparatory cleanups
  - add report.cumulate config option


Let me show you an example:

  $ cat abc.c
  #define barrier() asm volatile("" ::: "memory")

  void a(void)
  {
  	int i;
  	for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
  		barrier();
  }
  void b(void)
  {
  	a();
  }
  void c(void)
  {
  	b();
  }
  int main(void)
  {
  	c();
  	return 0;
  }

With this simple program I ran perf record and report:

  $ perf record -g -e cycles:u ./abc

  $ perf report --stdio
      88.29%      abc  abc                [.] a                  
                  |
                  --- a
                      b
                      c
                      main
                      __libc_start_main

       9.43%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _dl_relocate_object
                  |
                  --- _dl_relocate_object
                      dl_main
                      _dl_sysdep_start

       2.27%      abc  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault         
                  |
                  --- page_fault
                     |          
                     |--95.94%-- _dl_sysdep_start
                     |          _dl_start_user
                     |          
                      --4.06%-- _start

       0.00%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _start             
                  |
                  --- _start


When the -g cumulative option is given, it'll be shown like this:

  $ perf report --cumulate --stdio

  #     Self     Total  Command      Shared Object                   Symbol
  # ........  ........  .......  .................  .......................
  #
       0.00%    88.29%      abc  libc-2.17.so       [.] __libc_start_main  
       0.00%    88.29%      abc  abc                [.] main               
       0.00%    88.29%      abc  abc                [.] c                  
       0.00%    88.29%      abc  abc                [.] b                  
      88.29%    88.29%      abc  abc                [.] a                  
       0.00%    11.61%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _dl_sysdep_start   
       0.00%     9.43%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] dl_main            
       9.43%     9.43%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _dl_relocate_object
       2.27%     2.27%      abc  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault         
       0.00%     2.18%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _dl_start_user     
       0.00%     0.10%      abc  ld-2.17.so         [.] _start             

As you can see __libc_start_main -> main -> c -> b -> a callchain show
up in the output.

I know it have some rough edges or even bugs, but I really want to
release it and get reviews.  It does not handle event groups and
annotations yet.
