Subject: [PATCH] extends perf-script to native scripts (updated)

As it is perf-script allows one to use perl or python scripts to parse 
perf events.
The following proposal aimed to introduce support of .so files as scripts.
This support allows for better performance when parsing perf's data 
files and
a complete access to the raw data.

This support is implemented analogously to the one in place for 
perl/python script.
More precisely, when passing a .so file as a script argument, the 
following symbols
are loaded :
     - start_script
     - stop_script
     - process_event
These symbols will be called instead of the corresponding :
     - default_start_script
     - default_stop_script
     - process_event

There currently is a limitation regarding the generate_script function 
which cannot
be generalized to native scripts. Is it better to leave things as they 
are (die gracefully
when the user asks for native_generate_script) or to do one of the 
following :
     - print a usage message specifying the symbols a .so script should 
expose
     - create a .c file complying with said interface

Regarding style compliance, the following issues remains :
     - 3 'fprintf' lines slightly over 80 chars in trace-event-native.
      Is it better to introduce a line break than to have a 83-chars 
long line?
     - in trace-event-scripting.c a struct is declared as extern. Here, 
I followed
     what was already done for perl/python scripting.

Since the first time this was submitted, the following change was added:
     - a local variable (error) in trace-event-native.c could shadow a 
goto label.
     A compilation error could then occur with gcc 4.7. The variable has 
been renamed
     to avoid that.

Thank you for your time and valued input.
