We have to deal with the TUI mode in perf top, so that we don't end up
with a garbled screen when, say, a non root user on a machine with a
paranoid setting (the default) tries to use 'perf top'.
Introduce a ui__warning_paranoid() routine shared by top and record that
tells the user the valid values for /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

Resend of patch sent back in January 2011 in light of recent confusion around
unsupported events for a given platform.
Improve sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return handling in top and record, just
like 5a3446b does for stat.
Retry of Arnaldo's patch using ui_warning instead of die which allows the
fallback from hardware cycles to software clock.

v3 -> v2:
- Make pubname_search_cb more generic
- Add fastpath to find_probes also
v2 -> v1:
- Don't compare file names with cu_find_realpath(...), instead, compare
them with the name returned by dwarf_decl_file(sp_die)
The vmlinux file may have thousands of CUs.
We can lookup function name from .debug_pubnames section
to avoid the slow loop on CUs.

Pulled, thanks Arnaldo!
Note, i merged these two also into perf/urgent:
ca6a42586fae: perf tools: Emit clearer message for sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return
c286c419c784: perf tools: Fixup exit path when not able to open events
as both are simple and fix real bugs.
Thanks,
Ingo
