v4: Update according to Andi's comments. The requirement is not displaying
    the number of removed loops. It needs to display the average number of
    iterations. It computes out the number of iterations by counting
    the removed loops. 

v3: 1. Display the count for tsx abort, remove the abort percentage.

    2. Since the branch history code has a loop detection that removes
       small loops in util/machine.c:remove_loops(). It would be nice to
       note how many loops were removed. So it adds the note on some
       callchain entries.

v2: Just a rebase to Arnaldo's perf/core branch, no functional changes.

Initial post

perf record -g -b ...
perf report --branch-history

Currently it only shows the branches from the LBR in the callgraph view.
It would be useful to annotate branch predictions and TSX aborts and
also timed LBR cycles also in the callgraph view.

This would allow a quick overview where branch predictions are and how
costly basic blocks are.

For example:

# Overhead  Source:Line                  Symbol                       Shared Object      Predicted  Abort  Cycles

If the branch is 100% predicated then the "predicated" is hide.
Similarly, if there is no branch tsx abort, the "abort" is hide.
There is only cycles shown (cycle is supported on skylake platform,
older platform would be 0).

If no iterations, the "iterations" is hide.

#1512268 — [PATCH v4 1/6] perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor node

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>
Date2016-10-31 02:30 +0100
Subject[PATCH v4 1/6] perf report: Add branch flag to callchain cursor node
Message-ID<sy9Ae-3Yg-19@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1512251
Since the branch ip has been added to call stack for easier browsing,
this patch adds more branch information. For example, add a flag to
indicate if this ip is a branch, and also add with the branch flag.

Then we can know if the cursor node represents a branch and know
what the branch flag it has.

The branch history code has a loop detection pass that removes
loops. It would be nice for knowing how many loops were removed then
in next steps, we can compute out the average number of iterations.

For example:

Before remove_loops(),
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry3: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry4: from = 0x700, to = 0x800

After remove_loops()
entry0: from = 0x100, to = 0x200
entry1: from = 0x300, to = 0x250
entry2: from = 0x700, to = 0x800

The original entry2 and entry3 are removed. So the number of iterations
(from = 0x300, to = 0x250) is equal to removed number + 1 (2 + 1).

iterations = removed number + 1;
average iteractions = Sum(iteractions) / number of samples

This formula ignores other cases, for example, iterations cross multiple
buffers and one buffer contains 2+ loops. Because in practice, it's
good enough.

#1512274 — [PATCH v4 6/6] perf report: Display columns Predicted/Abort/Cycles in --branch-history

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>
Date2016-10-31 02:30 +0100
Subject[PATCH v4 6/6] perf report: Display columns Predicted/Abort/Cycles in --branch-history
Message-ID<sy9Ae-3Yg-37@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1512251
Use current sort mechanism but the real .se_cmp() just returns 0 so
that new columns "Predicted", "Abort" and "Cycles" are created in display
but actually these keys are not the sort keys.

For example:

Overhead  Source:Line   Symbol    Shared Object  Predicted  Abort  Cycles
........  ............  ........  .............  .........  .....  ......

  38.25%  div.c:45      [.] main  div            97.6%      0      3

#1512275 — [PATCH v4 3/6] perf report: Caculate and return the branch flag counting

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>
Date2016-10-31 02:30 +0100
Subject[PATCH v4 3/6] perf report: Caculate and return the branch flag counting
Message-ID<sy9Ae-3Yg-39@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1512251
Create some branch counters in per callchain list entry. Each counter
is for a branch flag. For example, predicted_count counts all the
*predicted* branches. The counters get updated by processing the
callchain cursor nodes.

It also provides functions to retrieve or print the values of counters
in callchain list.

Besides the counting for branch flags, it also counts and returns the
average number of iterations.

#1512277 — [PATCH v4 2/6] perf report: Create a symbol_conf flag for showing branch flag counting

FromJin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com>
Date2016-10-31 02:30 +0100
Subject[PATCH v4 2/6] perf report: Create a symbol_conf flag for showing branch flag counting
Message-ID<sy9Ae-3Yg-41@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1512251
Create a new flag show_branchflag_count in symbol_conf. The flag is used
to control if showing the branch flag counting information. The flag
depends on if the perf.data has branch data and if user chooses the
"branch-history" option in perf report command line.
