Jin Yao 480accbb17 perf streams: Introduce branch history "streams"
We define a stream as the branch history which is aggregated by the
branch records from perf samples. For example, the callchains aggregated
from the branch records are considered as streams.  By browsing the hot
stream, we can understand the hot code path.

Now we only support the callchain for stream. For measuring the hot
level for a stream, we use the callchain_node->hit, higher is hotter.

There may be many callchains sampled so we only focus on the top N
hottest callchains. N is a user defined parameter or predefined default
value (nr_streams_max).

This patch creates an evsel_streams array per event, and saves the top N
hottest streams in a stream array.

So now we can get the per-event top N hottest streams.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
