perf tools updates for 7.1
perf report:
- Add 'comm_nodigit' sort key to combine similar threads that only have
different numbers in the comm. In the following example, the
'comm_nodigit' will have samples from all threads starting with
"bpfrb/" into an entry "bpfrb/<N>".
$ perf report -s comm_nodigit,comm -H

- Support flat layout for symfs. The --symfs option is to specify the
location of debugging symbol files. The default 'hierarchy' layout
would search the symbol file using the same path of the original file
under the symfs root. The new 'flat' layout would search only in the
root directory.
- Update 'simd' sort key for ARM SIMD flags to cover ASE/SME and more
predicate flags.
perf stat:
- Add --pmu-filter option to select specific PMUs. This would be
useful when you measure metrics from multiple instance of uncore PMUs
with similar names.
