Subject: [PATCH 0/4] perf events: Add realtime clock event and timehist option -v2

v1 -> v2:
- removed change to WARN_ON_ONCE in perf_event.c
- fixed init of realtime_clock event (needed call to perf_swevent_init_hrtimer)
- changed userspace event name to clock-realtime with the alias clkr as the 
  raw events code sucks up all options that start with 'r' followed by a hex
  character
- remove RAW sample hack for pushing realtime clock event data to userspace
- plumbed PERF_SAMPLE_READ to enable retrieving event data during sample
  generation
- add patch to perf-stat to recognize realtime-clock as a nsec counter
- implementation of tiemhist in perf-record was revamped significantly
  -- to use event data,
  -- to better handle fallback to synthesized event,
  -- added feature to force a sample to be generated at startup (to output
     wall-clock times we need a sample immediately; after that realtime-clock
     samples are generated periodically)
  -- change counter creation to be done only on first cpu; we do not need a
     counter for each cpu 

A request was made to modify perf-trace and perf-script. From what I can see
perf-trace does not exist yet and perf-script requires raw data which means
it does not work for the primary use case that motivated this feature
(perf record -e cs -1 -ag).
