A build error slipped in:
builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’
Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

The rule is:
- high overhead: red
- mid overhead: green
- low overhead: normal (white/black)

If perf is run on a !CONFIG_PERF_COUNTER kernel right now it
bails out with no messages or with confusing messages.
Standardize this case some more and explain the situation.

On architectures/CPUs without PMU support but with perfcounters
enabled 'perf record' currently fails because it cannot create a
cycle based hw-perfcounter.
Fall back to the cpu-clock-tick sw-perfcounter in this case, which
is hrtimer based and will always work (as long as perfcounters
are enabled).

The first snapshot reading often occur before any events have
been read in the mapped perfcounter files.
Just wait until we have at least one event before starting the
snapshot, or the delay before the first set of entries to be
displayed may be long in case of low refresh rate.
Note: we could also use a semaphore to wait before
"print_entries" number of eveents is reached, but again this
value is tunable and we can't ensure we will even reach it.
Also we could base on a default mimimum set of entries for the
first refresh, say 15, but again, the minimal sample is
tunable, and we could end up displaying nothing until we have a
minimal default set of events, which can take some time in case
of high samples filters.
Hence this simple solution which partially covers the default
case.

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.
