Subject: [PATCH v3 00/14] 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 and this series
has a minor update for the patch 13 'perf kvm: Add TUI mode for stat
report' to avoid building failure when the system doesn't support
HAVE_SLANG_SUPPORT.

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 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.
