be1ac0d81d perf_counter tools: Also display time-normalized stat results
Add new column that normalizes counter results by
'nanoseconds spent running' unit.

Before:

 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench':

   10469.403605  task clock ticks     (msecs)
          75502  context switches     (events)
           9501  CPU migrations       (events)
          36158  pagefaults           (events)
    31975676185  CPU cycles           (events)
    26257738659  instructions         (events)
      108740581  cache references     (events)
       54606088  cache misses         (events)

 Wall-clock time elapsed:   810.514504 msecs

After:

 Performance counter stats for '/home/mingo/hackbench':

   10469.403605  task clock ticks     (msecs)

       54606088  cache misses         #        5.216 M/sec

 Wall-clock time elapsed:   810.514504 msecs

The advantage of that column is that it is characteristic of the
execution workflow, regardless of runtime. Hence 'hackbench 10'
will look similar to 'hackbench 15' - while the absolute counter
values are very different.

2996f5ddb7 perf_counter tools: Split display into reading and printing
We introduce the extra pass to allow the print-out to possibly

16f762a2ac perf_counter tools: Introduce stricter C code checking
Tighten up our C code requirements:

 - disallow warnings
 - disallow declarations-mixed-with-statements
 - require proper prototypes
 - require C99 (with gcc extensions)

Fix up a ton of problems these measures unearth:

 - unused functions
 - needlessly global functions
 - missing prototypes
 - code mixed with declarations

5242519b02 perf stat: Convert to Git option parsing

d3f4b3855b perf stat: flip around ':k' and ':u' flags
This output:

 $ perf stat -e 0:1:k -e 0:1:u ./hello
  Performance counter stats for './hello':
          140131  instructions         (events)
         1906968  instructions         (events)

Is quite confusing - as :k means "user instructions", :u means
"kernel instructions".

Flip them around - as the 'exclude' property is not intuitive in
the flag naming.

1a482f38c5 perf_counter: Fix userspace build
recent userspace (F11) seems to already include the
linux/unistd.h bits which means we cannot include the version
in the kernel sources due to the header guards being the same.

Ensure we include the kernel version first.

58d7e993b1 perf stat: handle Ctrl-C
Before this change, if a long-running perf stat workload was Ctrl-C-ed,
the utility exited without displaying statistics.

After the change, the Ctrl-C gets propagated into the workload (and
causes its early exit there), but perf stat itself will still continue
to run and will display counter results.

This is useful to run open-ended workloads, let them run for
a while, then Ctrl-C them to get the stats.

[ Impact: extend perf stat with new functionality ]
