perf/core improvements and fixes:

Browse source 
User visible:
 
 - By default use the most precise "cycles" hw counter available, i.e.
   when the user doesn't specify any event, it will try using cycles:ppp,
   cycles:pp, etc (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Remove blank lines, headers when piping output in 'perf list', so that it can
   be sanely used with 'wc -l', etc (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
 
 - Amend documentation about max_stack and synthesized callchains (Adrian Hunter)
 
 - Fix 'perf probe -l' for probes added to kernel module functions (Masami Hiramatsu)
 
 Build fixes:
 
 - Fix shadowed declarations that break the build on older distros (Jiri Olsa)
 
 - Fix build break on powerpc due to sample_reg_masks (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
