. Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.
. Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent
just to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test'
to make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can
be more readily caught.
. Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps,
fix from Eric Sandeen.
. Fix some compiling errors on 32-bit, from Feng Tang.
. Don't use sscanf extension %as, not available on bionic, reimplementation
by Irina Tirdea.
. Fix bfd.h/libbfd detection with recent binutils, from Markus Trippelsdorf.
. Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where a
perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.
. Fix several error paths in libtraceevent, from Namhyung Kim.
Print event causing perf_event_open() to fail in 'perf record',
from Stephane Eranian.
. New 'kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.
