Vince Weaver reported a 'perf stat' measurement overhead in the
count of retired instructions, which can amount to a +6000
instructions inflated count in the reported count.

At present, perf stat creates its counters on the perf process.  Thus
the counters count the fork and various other activity in both the
parent and child, such as the resolver overhead for resolving PLT
entries for any libc functions that haven't been called before, such
as execvp.

This reduces the overhead by creating the counters on the child process
after the fork, using a couple of pipes to synchronize so that the
child process waits until the parent has created the counters before
doing the exec.  To eliminate the PLT resolution overhead on calling
execvp, this does a dummy execvp first which will always fail.

With this, the overhead of executing a program goes down from over
4800 instructions to about 90 instructions on powerpc (32-bit).
This was measured with a statically-linked program written in
assembler which only does the 3 instructions needed to call _exit(0).

$ perf stat -e 0:1:u ./three

The PERF_EVENT_READ implementation made me realize we don't
actually need the sample_type int the output sample, since
we already have that in the perf_counter_attr information.

Therefore, remove the PERF_EVENT_MISC_OVERFLOW bit and the
event->type overloading, and imply put counter overflow
samples in a PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE type.

This also fixes the issue that event->type was only 32-bit
and sample_type had 64 usable bits.

With the introduction of PERF_EVENT_READ we have the
possibility to provide accurate counter values for
individual tasks in a task hierarchy.

However, due to the lazy context switching used for similar
counter contexts our current per task counts are way off.

In order to maintain some of the lazy switch benefits we
don't disable it out-right, but simply iterate the active
counters and flip the values between the contexts.

This only reads the counters but does not need to reprogram
the full PMU.

Made new table for cache operartion stat 'hw_cache_stat' as:

 L1I : Read and prefetch only
 ITLB and BPU : Read-only

introduce is_cache_op_valid() for cache operation validity

And checks for valid cache operations.

Looking backward for the first space from the end of a line in
/proc/pid/maps does not find the start of the pathname of the mapped
file if it contains a space.

Since the only slashes we have in this file occur in the (absolute!)
pathname column of file mappings, looking for the first slash in a
line is a safe method to find the name.

Much of perf's libraries comes from the Git project. I noticed
that the files (in tools/perf/util/*.[ch] and elsewhere) are
quite spartan wrt. credits, so lets add a CREDITS file that
includes an (incomplete!) list of main contributors.

Thanks guys, these libraries are really useful. Special thanks
go to Johannes Schindelin and Junio C Hamano for coming up with
this list.

Previous code made an assumption that the power on value of global
control MSR has enabled all fixed and general purpose counters properly.

However, this is not the case for certain Intel processors, such as
Atom - and it might also be firmware dependent.

Each enable bit in IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL is AND'ed with the
enable bits for all privilege levels in the respective IA32_PERFEVTSELx
or IA32_PERF_FIXED_CTR_CTRL MSRs to start/stop the counting of
respective counters. Counting is enabled if the AND'ed results is true;
counting is disabled when the result is false.

The end result is that all fixed counters are always disabled on Atom
processors because the assumption is just invalid.

Fix this by not initializing the ctrl-mask out of the global MSR,
but setting it to perf_counter_mask.

Error message should use stderr for verbose (-v), otherwise
message will be lost for:

 $ ./perf stat -v <cmd>  > /dev/null

For example on AMD bus-cycles event is not available so now
it looks like:

 $ ./perf stat -v -e bus-cycles ls > /dev/null
Error: counter 0, sys_perf_counter_open() syscall returned with -1 (Invalid argument)

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

  <not counted>  bus-cycles

We don't need to add usage counts for swcounter and attr usage
models for inherited counters since the parent counter will
always have one, which suffices to generate the needed output.

This avoids up to 3 global atomic increments per inherited
counter.
