The acpidump currently always uses ACPI 2.0 format to dump RSDP, this patch
adds ACPI 1.0 RSDP support.

The only thing we need is a forward declaration for 'struct cgroup_sel',
that is inside 'struct perf_evsel'.

Include cgroup.h instead on the tools that support cgroups.

It was being found, by chance, because evsel.h needlessly includes

So that when an evsel is embedded into other struct it can free up
resources calling perf_evsel__exit().

<title>perf kvm stat live: Enable events copying</title>

Process of analyzing events caused by 2 functions: mmap_read() and
finished_round().

During mmap_read(), perf receives events from shared memory, queues
their pointers for further processing in finished_round() and notifies
the kernel that the events have been processed.

By the time when finished_round() is invoked, queued events can be
overwritten by the kernel, so the finished_round() occurs on potentially
corrupted memory.

Since there is no place where the event can be safely consumed, let's
copy events when queueing.

<title>perf session: Add option to copy events when queueing</title>

<id>54bf53b1cb9150b894213a705c562d52388376ef</id>
<content type='text'>
When processing events the session code has an ordered samples queue
which is used to time-sort events coming in across multiple mmaps. At a
later point in time samples on the queue are flushed up to some
timestamp at which point the event is actually processed.

When analyzing events live (ie., record/analysis path in the same
command) there is a race that leads to corrupted events and parse errors
which cause perf to terminate. The problem is that when the event is
placed in the ordered samples queue it is only a reference to the event
which is really sitting in the mmap buffer. Even though the event is
queued for later processing the mmap tail pointer is updated which
indicates to the kernel that the event has been processed. The race is
flushing the event from the queue before it gets overwritten by some
other event. For commands trying to process events live (versus just
writing to a file) and processing a high rate of events this leads to
parse failures and perf terminates.

Examples hitting this problem are 'perf kvm stat live', especially with
nested VMs which generate 100,000+ traces per second, and a command
processing scheduling events with a high rate of context switching --
e.g., running 'perf bench sched pipe'.

This patch offers live commands an option to copy the event when it is
placed in the ordered samples queue.
