[PATCH/RFC 00/14] perf, tool: Fix endian issues

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
adding support to display diff for more than 2 perf.data files.
Sending as RFC, since the change touches lot of hists code,
so I might be breaking something I missed.. still testing.

Also it could colide with Namhyung changes for group report
wrt patches 7 and 8, where I changed the linking of matching
hists entries.

The doc was updated with info about current perf diff processing.

Attached patches:
  01/14 perf tool: Introduce perf_hpp__list for period related columns
  02/14 perf tool: Add struct perf_hpp_fmt into hpp callbacks
  03/14 perf tool: Fix period symbol_conf.field_sep display
  04/14 perf diff: Remove displacement from struct hist_entry_diff
  05/14 perf diff: Change compute methods to work with pair directly
  06/14 perf diff: Change formula methods to work with pair directly
  07/14 perf diff: Add callback to hists__match/hists__link functions
  08/14 perf diff: Change diff command to work over multiple data files
  09/14 perf diff: Update perf diff documentation for multiple data comparison
  10/14 perf tool: Centralize default columns init in perf_hpp__init
  11/14 perf diff: Making compute functions static
  12/14 perf diff: Display data file info ahead of the diff output
  13/14 perf diff: Display zero calculation results
  14/14 perf diff: Add generic order option for compute sorting

Example of multiple perf diff output:

  $ perf diff perf.data.[123456]
  # Event 'cycles:u'
  #
  # Data files:
  #  [0] perf.data.1
  #  [1] perf.data.2
  #  [2] perf.data.3
  #  [3] perf.data.4
  #  [4] perf.data.5
  #  [5] perf.data.6
