perf tools: add JVMTI agent library

This is a standalone JVMTI library to help  profile Java jitted code with perf
record/perf report. The library is not installed or compiled automatically by
perf Makefile. It is not used directly by perf. It is arch agnostic and has
been tested on X86 and ARM. It needs to be used with a Java runtime, such as
OpenJDK, as follows:

  $ java -agentpath:libjvmti.so .......

See the "Committer Notes" below on how to build it.

When used this way, java will generate a jitdump binary file in
$HOME/.debug/java/jit/java-jit-*

This binary dump file contains information to help symbolize and
annotate jitted code.

The jitdump information must be injected into the perf.data file
using:

  $ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted

This injects the MMAP records to cover the jitted code and also generates
one ELF image for each jitted function. The ELF images are created in the
same subdir as the jitdump file. The MMAP records point there too.

Then, to visualize the function or asm profile, simply use the regular
perf commands:

  $ perf report -i perf.data.jitted

or

  $ perf annotate -i perf.data.jitted

JVMTI agent code adapted from the OProfile's opagent code.

This version of the JVMTI agent is using the CLOCK_MONOTONIC as the time
source to timestamp jit samples. To correlate with perf_events samples,
it needs to run on kernel 4.0.0-rc5+ or later with the following commit
from Peter Zijlstra:

  34f439278cef ("perf: Add per event clockid support")

With this patch recording jitted code is done as follows:

   $ perf record -k mono -- java -agentpath:libjvmti.so .......

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Committer Notes:

Extended testing instructions:

  $ cd tools/perf/jvmti/
  $ dnf install java-devel
  $ make

Then, create some simple java stuff to record some samples:

  $ cat hello.java
  public class hello {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
                 System.out.println("Hello, World");
       	}
  }
  $ javac hello.java
  $ java hello
  Hello, World
  $

And then record it using this jvmti thing:

  $ perf record -k mono java -agentpath:/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/jvmti/libjvmti.so hello
  java: jvmti: jitdump in /home/acme/.debug/jit/java-jit-20160205.XXWIEDls/jit-1908.dump
  Hello, World
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.030 MB perf.data (268 samples) ]
  $

Now lets insert the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 records to point jitted mmaps to
files created by the agent:

  $ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted

And finally see that it did its job:

  $ perf report -D -i perf.data.jitted | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 | tail -5
  79197149129422 0xfe10 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 1908/1923: [0x7f172428bd60(0x80) @ 0x40 fd:02 1840554 1]: --xs /home/acme/.debug/jit/java-jit-20160205.XXWIEDls/jitted-1908-283.so

  $

So:

  $ perf report -D -i perf.data | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 | wc -l
  Failed to open /tmp/perf-1908.map, continuing without symbols
  21
  $ perf report -D -i perf.data.jitted | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 | wc -l
  307
  $ echo $((307 - 21))
  286
  $

286 extra PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 records.

All for thise tiny, with just one function, ELF files:

  $ file /home/acme/.debug/jit/java-jit-20160205.XXWIEDls/jitted-1908-9.so

Note: check why 'file' reports that 'corrupted program header size'.

With a stupid java hog to do some profiling:

$ cat hog.java
  public class hog {
	private static double do_something_else(int i) {
		double total = 0;
		while (i > 0) {
			total += Math.log(i--);
		}
		return total;
	}
	private static double do_something(int i) {
		double total = 0;
		while (i > 0) {
			total += Math.sqrt(i--) + do_something_else(i / 100);
		}
		return total;
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println(String.format("%s=%f & %f", args[0],
				   do_something(Integer.parseInt(args[0])),
				   do_something_else(Integer.parseInt(args[1]))));
	}
  }
  $ javac hog.java
  $ perf record -F 10000 -g -k mono java -agentpath:/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/jvmti/libjvmti.so hog 100000 2345000
  java: jvmti: jitdump in /home/acme/.debug/jit/java-jit-20160205.XX4sqd14/jit-8670.dump

  $ perf inject --jit -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted

Looking at the 'perf report' TUI, at one expanded callchain leading
to the jitted code:

  $ perf report --no-children -i perf.data.jitted
