Commit b7368fdd7d decreased the CPU cycles interval 100-fold, but
this is causig kerneltop failures on my Nehalem box:
aldebaran:/home/mingo/linux/linux/Documentation/perf_counter>
./kerneltop
KernelTop refresh period: 2 seconds
ERROR: failed to keep up with mmap data
10,000 cycles is way too short.
What we should do instead on mostly-idle systems is some sort of
read/poll timeout, so that we display something every 2 seconds
for sure.

Fix:
kerneltop.c: In function ‘record_ip’:
kerneltop.c:1005: warning: format ‘%016llx’ expects type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘uint64_t’

Remove now unified perfstat.c and perf_counter.h, and link to the
in-kernel perf_counter.h.

In my system, it takes kerneltop dozens of minutes to
show up usable numbers. Make the default count 100 times
smaller fixed this long startup latency.
I'm not sure if it's the right solution though.

- perfstat.c can be safely removed now
- perfstat: -s => -a for system wide accounting
- kerneltop: add -S/--stat for perfstat mode
- minor adjustments to kerneltop --help, perfstat --help

- kerneltop: --event_id => --event
- kerneltop: can accept SW event types now
- perfstat: it used to implicitly add event -2(task-clock),
the new code no longer does this. Shall we?
