Subject: [PATCH v5 00/16] perf kvm: Support histograms and TUI mode

This patch set is to enable histograms and (partially) TUI mode in perf
kvm tool; patch set v1 [1] gives brief introduction for the change.

We can use below commands for testing this series:

In a terminal, you could launch a virtual machine with qemu command; in
below case, I downloaded a Ubuntu (or Debian) iso file and used it as
the file system image:

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 4096 -hda ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso

Then in another terminal, I can use below command to capture KVM trace
data and report the result:

  # cd linux/tools/perf
  # ./perf kvm stat record
  # ./perf kvm stat report          => Output in TUI mode
  # ./perf kvm stat report --stdio  => Output in stdio mode

Changes from v4:
* Fixed building failure in patch 04; compiled successfully for every
  patch to ensure bisection.

Changes from v3:
* Updated patch 04 to change comparison function return type from int to
  int64_t to avoid overflow;
* Added a refactoring patch 05 "perf kvm: Use macro to replace variable
  'decode_str_len'";
* Refined to use hists__add_entry_ops() and hist_entry__cmp() to compare
  hist entry and add new entries, to support comparison between hist
  entry, added a new patch 09; (Namhyung Kim)
* Updated patch 10 for comparison event name; (Namhyung Kim)
* Refined patch 11 to move init_stats() and hists__inc_nr_samples()
  into kvm_he_zalloc(); (Namhyung Kim)
* Minor refactoring for sort_result() and kvm_hists__init() in patch 15.

Changes from v2:
* Found building failure with command 'make VF=1 DEBUG=1 NO_SLANG=1',
  fixed it in the patch 13. (James Clark)

Changes from v1:
* Updated the patch 13 'perf kvm: Add TUI mode for stat report' to avoid
  building failure if no support HAVE_SLANG_SUPPORT.
