[PATCH 09/23] perf script: Add support for printing assembler

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When dumping PT traces with perf script it is very useful to see the
assembler for each sample, so that it is easily possible to follow
the control flow.

As using objdump is difficult and inefficient from perf script this
patch uses the Intel xed library to implement assembler output.
The library can be downloaded from http://github.com/intelxed/xed

The previous version of this patch used udis86, but was
rejected because udis86 was unmaintained and a runtime dependency.
Using the recently released xed avoids both of these problems:
- XED is well maintained and used by many Intel tools
- XED is linked statically so there is no runtime dependency.

The library is probed as an external dependency in the usual way. Then perf
script calls into it when needed, and handles callbacks to resolve
symbols.

% perf record -e intel_pt//u true
% perf script -F sym,symoff,ip,asm --itrace=i0ns | head
7fc7188b4190 _start+0x0 mov %rsp, %rdi
7fc7188b4193 _start+0x3 call _dl_start
7fc7188b7710 _dl_start+0x0 push %rbp
7fc7188b7711 _dl_start+0x1 mov %rsp, %rbp
7fc7188b7714 _dl_start+0x4 push %r15
7fc7188b7716 _dl_start+0x6 push %r14
7fc7188b7718 _dl_start+0x8 push %r13
7fc7188b771a _dl_start+0xa push %r12
7fc7188b771c _dl_start+0xc mov %rdi, %r12
7fc7188b771f _dl_start+0xf push %rbx

v2:
Converted to use XED instead of udis86.
Separate disassembler interface into separate arch specific file.
Lots of cleanups and improvements.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

Disassembly of perf_evsel__enable() bits referenced in the samples
