Initial support for libtraceevent man pages - Documentation directory,
templates, configurations, Makefiles.
The first man page is also part of the patch - summary of the library
and all its APIs.
Building of the documentation is integrated into the libtraceevent build
process, new targets are added to its Makefile:
make help
make doc
make doc-clean
make doc-install
make doc-uninstall

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main kernel changes were:
- add support for Intel's "adaptive PEBS v4" - which embedds LBS data
in PEBS records and can thus batch up and reduce the IRQ (NMI) rate
significantly - reducing overhead and making call-graph profiling
less intrusive.
- add Intel CPU core and uncore support updates for Tremont, Icelake,
- extend the x86 PMU constraints scheduler with 'constraint ranges'
to better support Icelake hw constraints,
- make x86 call-chain support work better with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
- misc other changes
Tooling changes:
- updates to the main tools: 'perf record', 'perf trace', 'perf
stat'
- updated Intel and S/390 vendor events
- libtraceevent updates
- misc other updates and fixes"

The traceevent lib is used by the perf tool, and when executing
perf test -v 6
it outputs error log on the ARM64 platform:
running test 33 '*:*'trace-cmd: No such file or directory
[...]
trace-cmd: Invalid argument
The trace event parsing code originally came from trace-cmd so it keeps
the tag string "trace-cmd" for errors, this easily introduces the
impression that the perf tool launches trace-cmd command for trace event
parsing, but in fact the related parsing is accomplished by the
traceevent lib.
This patch changes the tag string to "libtraceevent" so that we can
avoid confusion and let users to more easily connect the error with
traceevent lib.

There was a missing comparison with 0 when checking if type is "s64" or
"u64". Therefore, the body of the if-statement was entered if "type" was
"u64" or not "s64", which made the first strcmp() redundant since if
type is "u64", it's not "s64".
If type is "s64", the body of the if-statement is not entered but since
the remainder of the function consists of if-statements which will not
be entered if type is "s64", we will just return "val", which is
correct, albeit at the cost of a few more calls to strcmp(), i.e., it
will behave just as if the if-statement was entered.
If type is neither "s64" or "u64", the body of the if-statement will be
entered incorrectly and "val" returned. This means that any type that is
checked after "s64" and "u64" is handled the same way as "s64" and
"u64", i.e., the limiting of "val" to fit in for example "s8" is never
reached.
This was introduced in the kernel tree when the sources were copied from
trace-cmd in commit f7d82350e5 ("tools/events: Add files to create
libtraceevent.a"), and in the trace-cmd repo in 1cdbae6035cei
("Implement typecasting in parser") when the function was introduced,
i.e., it has always behaved the wrong way.

This patch removes call to exit() from tep_filter_add_filter_str(). A
library function should not force the application to exit. In the
current implementation tep_filter_add_filter_str() calls exit() when a
special "test_filters" mode is set, used only for debugging purposes.
When this mode is set and a filter is added - its string is printed to
the console and exit() is called. This patch changes the logic - when in
"test_filters" mode, the filter string is still printed, but the exit()
is not called. It is up to the application to track when "test_filters"
mode is set and to call exit, if needed.

As struct tep_handler definition is not exposed as part of libtraceevent
API, its fields cannot be accessed directly by the library users. This
patch implements new APIs, which can be used to access the struct
tep_handler fields:
tep_get_event() - retrieves an event pointer at a specific index
tep_get_first_event() - is modified to use tep_get_event()
tep_clear_flag() - clears a tep handle flag
tep_test_flag() - test if a given flag is set
tep_get_header_timestamp_size() - returns the size of the timestamp stored
in the header.
tep_get_cpus() - returns the number of CPUs
tep_is_old_format() - returns true if data was created by an
older kernel with the old data format
tep_set_print_raw() - have the output print in the raw format
tep_set_test_filters() - debugging utility for testing tep filters

With security updates, %p in the kernel is hashed to protect true kernel
locations. But trace_printk() is not allowed in production systems, and
when a pointer is used, there are many times that the actual address is
needed. "%px" produces the real address. But libtraceevent does not know how
to handle that extension. Add it.
