Paul Mackerras a12b51c478 perf tools: Fix sparse CPU numbering related bugs
At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring
(perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless
the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1.  These tools ask
for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1.

This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are
numbered sparsely.  For example, a POWER6 system in
single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per
core) will have only even-numbered cpus online.

This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
file to find out which cpus are online.  The code that does that is in
tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map()
function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of
online cpus.  If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or
can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to
ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[].

The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls
read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of
sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to
perf_event_open.
