Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Reduce NUMA related overhead in perf record profiling
on large server systems
It has been observed that trace reading thread runs on the same hw thread
most of the time during perf record sampling collection. This scheduling
layout leads up to 30% profiling overhead in case when some cpu intensive
workload fully utilizes a large server system with NUMA. Overhead usually
arises from remote (cross node) HW and memory references that have much
longer latencies than local ones [1].
This patch set implements --affinity option that lowers 30% overhead
completely for serial trace streaming (--affinity=cpu) and from 30% to
10% for AIO1 (--aio=1) trace streaming (--affinity=node|cpu).
See OVERHEAD section below for more details.
Implemented extension provides users with capability to instruct Perf
tool to bounce trace reading thread's affinity mask between NUMA nodes
(--affinity=node) or assign the thread to the exact cpu (--affinity=cpu)
that trace buffer being processed belongs to.
The extension brings improvement in case of full system utilization when
Perf tool process contends with workload process on cpu cores. In case a
system has free cores to execute Perf tool process during profiling the
default system scheduling layout induces the lowest overhead.
The patch set has been validated on BT benchmark from NAS Parallel
Benchmarks [2] running on dual socket, 44 cores, 88 hw threads Broadwell
system with kernels v4.4-21-generic (Ubuntu 16.04) and v4.20.0-rc5
(tip perf/core).

Changes in v2:
- made debug affinity mode message user friendly
- converted affinity mode defines to enum values
- implemented perf_mmap__aio_alloc, perf_mmap__aio_free, perf_mmap__aio_bind
and put HAVE_LIBNUMA_SUPPORT #ifdefs in there
- separated AIO buffers binding to patch 2/4
