perf trace: Bump --mmap-pages when --call-graph is used by the root user (2016-04-15 17:52:34 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements:

User visible:

- Wire the callchain unwinding "max-stack" know to 'perf script --max-stack',
allowing to limit the depth of callchains, possibly reducing processing
time (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Ditto for 'perf trace --max-stack' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Introduce a --min-stack filter for 'perf trace', to show syscalls that
had a userspace callchain leading to it at least min-stack deep (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Make 'perf trace' work with multiple threads and the --duration filter,
i.e. do not print the start of an interrupted syscall followed by ...
to print interrupts from other threads, as we need to wait the sys_exit
syscall tracepoint to calculate the duration, duh. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

System wide --duration now works as expected:

[root@jouet ~]# trace --duration 100
152.393 (145.147 ms): Timer/24358 futex(uaddr: 0x7f5ed98e56cc, op: WAIT_BITSET|PRIV|CLKRT, val: 7055125, utime: 0x7f5ecdbfec30, val3: 4294967295) = -1 ETIMEDOUT Connection timed out
152.438 (145.040 ms): firefox/24321 poll(ufds: 0x7f5ec388b460, nfds: 6, timeout_msecs: 4294967295) = 1
358.580 (158.279 ms): Xorg/2025 select(n: 512, inp: 0x83a8e0, tvp: 0x7ffdcbb63610) = 0 Timeout
358.687 (148.285 ms): gnome-terminal/2711 poll(ufds: 0x55b7e6811ad0, nfds: 15, timeout_msecs: 249) = 1
370.150 (169.569 ms): gnome-shell/2287 poll(ufds: 0x55e623d65490, nfds: 86, timeout_msecs: 4294967295) = 1

- Now 'perf trace's --max-stack and --min-stack will automatically set
"--call-graph dwarf", if --call-graph is not present on the command line:

[root@jouet ~]# perf trace -e nanosleep --max-stack 3 usleep 1
0.299 ( 0.057 ms): usleep/29658 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7fff80f3b230) = 0
__nanosleep+0x10 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)
usleep+0x34 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so)
main+0x1eb (/usr/bin/usleep)
[root@jouet ~]#

- Bump 'perf trace --mmap-pages' for root when using callchains and not
specifying --mmap-pages explicitely (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Build fixes:

- The python binding object had missing symbols, to some refactoring
to fix that (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
