[PATCHv3 0/5] perf, tool: Fix endian issues

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
sending fixies to properly handle perf.data endians.

v3 changes:
  - added patch 5 to fix addons bitmask handling

v2 changes:
  - added patches 3 and 4 to handle sample_id_all header endianity


Attached patches:
  1/5 perf, tool: Handle different endians properly during symbol load
  2/5 perf, tool: Carry perf_event_attr bitfield throught different endians
  3/5 perf, tool: Handle endianity swap on sample_id_all header data
  4/5 perf, tool: Fix 32 bit values endianity swap for sample_id_all header
  5/5 perf, tool: Fix endianity trick for adds_features bitmask


Tested by running following usecase:
  - origin system:
    # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
    # perf report > report.origin
    # perf archive perf.data
    
  - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
    to a target system and run:
    # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    # perf report > report.target
    # diff -u report.origin report.target
    
  - the diff should produce no output
    (besides some white space stuff and possibly different
     date/TZ output)

Tested by above usecase cross following architectures:
  i386, x86_64, s390x, ppc64

Big thank to Caspar Zhang who verified this within RH QE testsuites.

thanks,
jirka
