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.

In --stdio we turn off color output when the output is not a tty,
which is not always desirable, for instance, in:
perf annotate | more
the 'more' tool is perfectly capable of processing the escape sequences
for colored output.
Allow using the existing logic for .perfconfig's "color.ui" to be used
from the command line by providing a stdio__config_color() helper, that
will be used by annotate and report in follow up patches.

The following commit:
66eb579e66 ("perf: allow for PMU-specific event filtering")
added the pmu::filter_match() callback. This was intended to
avoid HW constraints on events from resulting in extremely
pessimistic scheduling.
However, pmu::filter_match() is only called for the leader of each event
group. When the leader is a SW event, we do not filter the groups, and
may fail at pmu::add() time, and when this happens we'll give up on
scheduling any event groups later in the list until they are rotated
ahead of the failing group.
This can result in extremely sub-optimal event scheduling behaviour,
e.g. if running the following on a big.LITTLE platform:
$ taskset -c 0 ./perf stat \
-e 'a57{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/}' \
-e 'a53{context-switches,armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/}' \
ls
<not counted> context-switches (0.00%)
<not counted> armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ (0.00%)
24 context-switches (37.36%)
57589154 armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ (37.36%)
Here the 'a53' event group was always eligible to be scheduled, but
the 'a57' group never eligible to be scheduled, as the task was always
affine to a Cortex-A53 CPU. The SW (group leader) event in the 'a57'
group was eligible, but the HW event failed at pmu::add() time,
resulting in ctx_flexible_sched_in giving up on scheduling further
groups with HW events.
One way of avoiding this is to check pmu::filter_match() on siblings
as well as the group leader. If any of these fail their
pmu::filter_match() call, we must skip the entire group before
attempting to add any events.

Noticed by the build system, that emitted this warning:
Warning: x86_64's syscall_64.tbl differs from kernel
This was due to the wiring up of the recently added preadv2 & pwritev2
syscalls to the compat code, which hadn't been done by the patch
introducing those syscalls: 4babf2c5ef ("x86: wire up preadv2 and
pwritev2").
The patch doing the compat wiring was:
482dd2ef12 ("x86/syscalls: Wire up compat readv2/writev2 syscalls")
This just silences the perf build warning, as compat syscalls still
can't be supported in 'perf trace´ due to limitations in the
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints it relies on.

Adding initialized arg into unwind__prepare_access to get feedback about
the initialization state.
It's not possible to get it from error code, because we return 0 even in
case we don't recognize dso, which is valid.
The 'initialized' value is used in following patch to speedup
unwind__prepare_access calls logic in fork path.

[ Remove ; after static inline function signatures, fixes build break ]

perf buildid-cache --add <binary> scans given binary and add
the SDT events to probe cache. "sdt_" prefix is appended for
all SDT providers to avoid event-name clash with other pre-defined
events. It is possible to use the cached SDT events as other cached
events, via perf probe --add "sdt_<provider>:<event>=<event>".
e.g.
----
# perf buildid-cache --add /lib/libc-2.17.so
# perf probe --cache --list | head -n 5
/usr/lib/libc-2.17.so (a6fb821bdf53660eb2c29f778757aef294d3d392):
sdt_libc:setjmp=setjmp
sdt_libc:longjmp=longjmp
sdt_libc:longjmp_target=longjmp_target
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
# perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so \
-a sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
Added new event:
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on memory_heap_new
in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libc:memory_heap_new -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on new_heap+183 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
----
Note that SDT event entries in probe-cache file is somewhat different
from normal cached events. Normal one starts with "#", but SDTs are
starting with "%".

This patch serves the initial support to identify and list SDT events in
binaries. When programs containing SDT markers are compiled, gcc with
the help of assembler directives identifies them and places them in the
section ".note.stapsdt".
To find these markers from the binaries, one needs to traverse through
this section and parse the relevant details like the name, type and
location of the marker. Also, the original location could be skewed due
to the effect of prelinking. If that is the case, the locations need to
be adjusted.
The functions in this patch open a given ELF, find out the SDT section,
parse the relevant details, adjust the location (if necessary) and
populate them in a list.
A typical note entry in ".note.stapsdt" section is as follows :
|--nhdr.n_namesz--|
------------------------------------
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
----- |----------------------------------|
| | <location> <base_address> |
| | <semaphore> |
nhdr.n_descsize | "provider_name" "note_name" |
| | <args> |
----- |----------------------------------|
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
|...
The above shows an excerpt from the section ".note.stapsdt". 'nhdr' is
a structure which has the note name size (n_namesz), note description
size (n_desc_sz) and note type (n_type).
So, in order to parse the note note info, we need nhdr to tell us where
to start from. As can be seen from <sys/sdt.h>, the name of the SDT
notes given is "stapsdt". But this is not the identifier of the note.
After that, we go to description of the note to find out its location, the
address of the ".stapsdt.base" section and the semaphore address.
Then, we find the provider name and the SDT marker name and then follow the
arguments.
