[PATCH v4 1/7] perf util: Create streams

[Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>]

We define the stream is the branch history which is aggregated by
the branch records from perf samples. For example, the callchains
aggregated from the branch records. By browsing the hot stream,
we can understand the hot code path.

Now we only support the callchain. So for measuring the hot level
for a stream, we use the callchain_node->hit, higher is hotter.

There may be many callchains sampled so we only focus on top N
hottest callchains. N is a user defined parameter or predefined
default value (nr_streams_max).

This patch creates an evsel_streams array per event, and saves
top N hottest streams in a stream array.

So now we can get the per-event top N hottest streams.
