perf config: Document 'hist.percentage' variable in man page (2016-01-21 11:55:21 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- Rename the "colors.code" ~/.perfconfig variable to "colors.jump_arrows",
as it controls just the that UI element in the annotate browser (Taeung Song)

- Fix 'perf test CQM' endless loop detected by 'gcc6 -Wmisleading-indentation'
(Markus Trippelsdorf)

- Fix behaviour of Shift-Tab when nothing focussed in the annotate TUI browser,
detected with gcc6 -Wmisleading-indentation (Markus Trippelsdorf)

- Avoid trying to read ELF symtabs from device files, noticed while doing
memory profiling work (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix mem data cacheline hists browser widht setting for unresolved
addresses (Jiri Olsa)

- Fix 'perf stat' stddev reporting due to mistakenly cleaning event
private stats (Jiri Olsa)

Infrastructure:

- Elliminate duplication in the hists browser filter functions, getting the
common part into a function that receives callbacks for filtering by
DSO, thread, etc (Namhyung Kim)

Documentation:

- Document the perf sysctls in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt (Ben Hutchings)

- Document a bunch more ~/.perfconfig knobs (Taeung Song)
