[ Upstream commit a3a4a3b37c9b911af4c375b2475cea0fd2b84d38 ]

When trying to add the "call-graph" variable for top into the
.perfconfig file, like:

      [top]
            call-graph = fp

I that perf_top_config() do not parse this variable.

Fix it by calling perf_default_config() when the top.call-graph variable
is set.

[ Upstream commit 89d0aeab4252adc2a7ea693637dd21c588bfa2d1 ]

The stdio perf top crashes when we change the terminal
window size. The reason is that we assumed we get the
perf_top pointer as a signal handler argument which is
not the case.

Changing the SIGWINCH handler logic to change global
resize variable, which is checked in the main thread
loop.

commit 7b0214b702ad8e124e039a317beeebb3f020d125 upstream.

The implicit fall through case label here is intended, so let us inform
that to gcc &gt;= 7:

  builtin-top.c: In function 'display_thread':

This was being done just in 'perf top', but grouping idle symbols should
be useful in other places as well, so remove one more symbol_filter_t
user by moving this to the symbol library.

We need to initializa some fields (right now just a mutex) when we
allocate the per symbol annotation struct, so do it at the symbol
constructor instead of (ab)using the filter mechanism for that.

This way we remove one of the few cases we have for that symbol filter,
which will eventually led to removing it.

We were just using pr_error() which makes it difficult for non stdio UIs
to provide errors using its widgets, as they need to somehow catch what
was passed to pr_error().

Fix it by introducing a __strerror() interface like the ones used
elsewhere, for instance target__strerror().

This is just the initial step, more work will be done, but first some
error handling bugs noticed while working on this need to be dealt with.
