perf/core improvements and fixes:
User visible:
- Check existence of frontend/backed stalled cycles in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)
- Avoid installing .o files from tools/lib/ into the python extension (Jiri Olsa)
- Rename the tracepoint '/format' field that carries the syscall ID from 'nr',
that is also the name of some syscalls arguments, to "__syscall_nr", to
avoid having multiple fields with the same name, that was breaking the
python script skeleton generator from perf.data files (Taeung Song)
- Support converting data from bpf events in 'perf data' (Wang Nan)
Infrastructure:
- Split libtraceevent's pevent_print_event() (Steven Rostedt)
- Librarize some 'perf record' bits to allow handling multiple perf.data
files per session (Wang Nan)
- Ensure return non-zero rc when mmap fail in 'perf record' (Wang Nan)

perf record: Ensure return non-zero rc when mmap fail
perf_evlist__mmap_ex() can fail without setting errno (for example, fail
in condition checking. In this case all syscall is success).
If this happen, record__open() incorrectly returns 0. Force setting rc
is a quick way to avoid this problem, or we have to follow all possible
code path in perf_evlist__mmap_ex() to make sure there's at least one
system call before returning an error.
