- Streaming compression of perf ring buffer into PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED
user space records, resulting in ~3-5x perf.data file size reduction
on variety of tested workloads what saves storage space on larger
server systems where perf.data size can easily reach several tens or
even hundreds of GiBs, especially when profiling with DWARF-based
stacks and tracing of context switches.

- Improve -user-regs/intr-regs suggestions to overcome errors.
perf annotate:
Jin Yao:
- Remove hist__account_cycles() from callback, speeding up branch processing
(perf record -b).
perf stat:
- Add a 'percore' event qualifier, e.g.: -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,
that sums up the event counts for both hardware threads in a core.
We can already do this with --per-core, but it's often useful to do
this together with other metrics that are collected per hardware thread.
I.e. now its possible to do this per-event, and have it mixed with other
events not aggregated by core.

When running 'make -C tools clean' I noticed that a revision controlled
file was being deleted:
$ git diff
diff --git a/tools/pci/pcitest.sh b/tools/pci/pcitest.sh

So I changed the make variables to fix that, testing it should produce
the same intended result while not deleting revision controlled files.

Handling pcitest.sh along with pcitest (obtained by compiling
pcitest.c) results in pcitest.sh getting removed inadvertently
while "make -C tools/pci clean".
Fix it by handling pcitest.sh independently of pcitest.

Change tool compiling process in order to be build using the same
mechanism used in other linux tools (e.g. iio, perf, etc). This will
allow in future the buildroot tool to build and integrate this tool in
a more expeditious way.
Update documentation accordingly.
