- Fix hierarchy column counts in the perf hist browser (top, report), avoiding
showing nothing after pressing the RIGHT key a number of times (Namhyung Kim)
Infrastructure:
- Support cascading options in libsubcmd and use it to share common options in
'perf sched' subcommands (Namhyung Kim)
- Avoid worker cacheline bouncing in 'perf bench futex' (Davidlohr Bueso)
- Sanitize numeric parameters in 'perf bench futex' (Davidlohr Bueso)

perf tools: Add missing object file to the python binding linkage list
In ac12f6764c50 ("perf tools: Implement branch_type event parameter") we
started using the parse_branch_str() function from one of the files used
in the python binding, which caused this entry in 'perf test' to fail:
# perf test -v python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 16667
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol:
parse_branch_str
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
#
I must've commited some mistake when running 'perf test' to send the
pull request for the perf-core-for-mingo-20161024 tag, to have let this
regression to pass, sigh.
Just add tools/perf/util/parse-branch-options.c and switch from using
ui__warning(), that is not available in the python binding, use
pr_warning() instead, which is good enough for this case.
Now:
# perf test python
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok
