2009-06-03perf report: Fix comm sortingPeter Zijlstra
Since we can (and do) change comm strings during the collection phase, we cannot actually sort on them to build the histogram. Therefore add an (optional) third sorting phase to collapse the histrogram. Comm sorting now builds the histrogram on threads and then in the collapse phase collects all threads with the same comm. This collapsed histogram is then reversed and sorted on events.

2009-06-03perf report: Handle vDSO symbols properlyIngo Molnar
We were not looking up vDSO symbols properly, because they are in the kallsyms but are user-mode entries.

2009-06-03perf_counter tools: Cover PLT symbols tooArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
PLT, the Program Linking Table, is used with the dynamic linker to allow PIC code in executables and shared objects to figure out where functions are in other shared objects. It is one of the sources of unknown/unresolved symbols - this patch does what binutils figures out when you ask it to disassembly.

Also fix a bug in builtin-help: we'd map 'perf help top' to 'perftop' if only the 'perf' binary is in the default PATH - confusing the manpage logic.
