perf tools: Introduce perf hooks

Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for
manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this
patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end.

To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into
'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report
an error to help debugging.

A test case for perf hook is introduced.

Test result:
$ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook
50: Test perf hooks :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 10311
SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.

tools: Introduce str_error_r()

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer

This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.

Test result:

45: Test backward reading from ring buffer

perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer

This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.

Test result:

# ~/perf test 'ring buffer'
45: Test backward reading from ring buffer : Ok

The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple
times. Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one
PERF_RECORD_COMM.

The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can
afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of
events.

The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it
overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

perf test: Print result for each BPF subtest

This patch prints each sub-tests results for BPF testcases.

Before:

# ./perf test BPF
37: Test BPF filter : Ok

After:

# ./perf test BPF
37: Test BPF filter :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Ok
37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Ok

When a failure happens:

# cat ~/.perfconfig
[llvm]
clang-path = "/bin/false"
# ./perf test BPF
37: Test BPF filter :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Skip
37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Skip

perf test: Print result for each LLVM subtest

Currently 'perf test llvm' and 'perf test BPF' have multiple sub-tests,

perf test: Print result for each LLVM subtest

Currently 'perf test llvm' and 'perf test BPF' have multiple sub-tests,
but the result is provided in only one line:

# perf test LLVM
35: Test LLVM searching and compiling : Ok

This patch introduces sub-tests support, allowing 'perf test' to report
result for each sub-tests:

# perf test LLVM
35: Test LLVM searching and compiling :
35.1: Basic BPF llvm compiling test : Ok
35.2: Test kbuild searching : Ok
35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation test : Ok

When a failure happens:

# cat ~/.perfconfig
[llvm]
clang-path = "/bin/false"
# perf test LLVM
35: Test LLVM searching and compiling :
35.1: Basic BPF llvm compiling test : FAILED!
35.2: Test kbuild searching : Skip
35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation test : Skip

And:

# rm ~/.perfconfig
# ./perf test LLVM
35: Test LLVM searching and compiling :
35.1: Basic BPF llvm compiling test : Skip
35.2: Test kbuild searching : Skip
35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation test : Skip

Skip by user:

# ./perf test -s 1,`seq -s , 3 42`
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Skip (user override)
2: detect openat syscall event : Ok

perf tests: Pass the subtest index to each test routine

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.

Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
like the one in RHEL6, where:

test a = {
.func = foo,
};

fails.

To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

perf test: Add 'perf test BPF'

This patch adds BPF testcase for testing BPF event filtering.

By utilizing the result of 'perf test LLVM', this patch compiles the
eBPF sample program then test its ability. The BPF script in 'perf test
LLVM' lets only 50% samples generated by epoll_pwait() to be captured.
This patch runs that system call for 111 times, so the result should
contain 56 samples.

perf tests: Move x86 tests into arch directory

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and
define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply
to the build architecture.

We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is
present in the generic perf tests.
