Multiple threads may be creating and destroying BFD objects in
situations like `perf top`.
Without appropriate initialization crashes may occur during libbfd's
cache management.
BFD's locks require recursive mutexes, add support for these.
Committer testing:
This happens only when building with 'make BUILD_NONDISTRO=1' and having
the binutils-devel package (or equivalent) installed, i.e. linking with
binutils devel files, an opt-in perf build.
Before:
root@x1:~# perf top
perf: Segmentation fault
-------- backtrace --------
<SNIP multiple failed attempts at printing a backtrace>

After this patch it works as before.

Couple of independent fixes:
1. Wire in SIGSEGV handler that terminates the test with a failure code.
2. Use "--lock-cgroup" instead of "-g"; "-g" was proposed but never
merged. See commit 4d1792d0a2 ("perf lock contention: Add
--lock-cgroup option")
3. Call cleanup() on every normal exit so trap_cleanup() doesn't mistake
it for an unexpected signal and emit a false-negative "Unexpected
signal in main" message.

This is one more remnant of the BUILD_NONDISTRO series to make building
with binutils-devel opt-in due to license incompatibility.
In this case just the references at link time were still in place, which
make building the test-all.bin file fail, which wasn't detected before
probably because the last test was done with binutils-devel available,
doh.
Now:
$ rpm -q binutils-devel

With commit f0d0f978f3 ("perf header: Don't write empty BPF/BTF
info"), the write_bpf_( prog_info() | btf() ) functions exit without
writing anything if env->bpf_prog.(infos| btfs)_cnt is zero.
process_bpf_( prog_info() | btf() ), however, still expect a "count"
value to exist in the data file. If btf information is empty, for
example, process_bpf_btf will read garbage or some other data as the
number of btf nodes in the data file. As a result, the data file will
not be processed correctly.
Instead, write the count to the data file and exit if it is zero.

Since commit 22f72088ff ("tools headers: Update the syscall table with
the kernel sources") the arm64 syscall header is generated at build
time. Later, commit bfb713ea53 ("perf tools: Fix arm64 build by
generating unistd_64.h") added a dependency to libperf to guarantee that
this header was created before building libperf or perf itself.
However, libjvmti also requires this header but does not depend on
libperf, leading to build failures such as:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/syscall.h:24,
from /usr/include/syscall.h:1,
from jvmti/jvmti_agent.c:36:
tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h:2:10: fatal error: asm/unistd_64.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <asm/unistd_64.h>
Fix this by ensuring that libperf is built before libjvmti, so that
unistd_64.h is always available.

We already only test each kcore map once, but on slow systems
(particularly with network filesystems) even the non-kcore maps are
slow.
The test can test the same objdump output over and over which only wastes
time. Generalize the skipping mechanism to track all DSOs and addresses
so that each section is only tested once.
On a fully loaded ARM Juno (simulating a parallel 'perf test' run) with
a network filesystem, the original runtime is:

Metrics may generate many particularly uncore event references. The
resulting event string may then be >32kb. The parse events lex is
using "%option reject" which stores backtracking state in a buffer
sized at roughtly 30kb. If the event string is larger than this then a
buffer overflow and typically a crash happens.
The need for "%option reject" was for BPF events which were removed in
commit 3d6dfae889 ("perf parse-events: Remove BPF event
support"). As "%option reject" is both a memory and performance cost
let's remove it and fix the parsing case for event strings being over
~30kb.
Whilst cleaning up "%option reject" make the header files accurately
reflect functions used in the code and tidy up not requiring yywrap.
Measuring on the "PMU JSON event tests" a modest reduction of 0.41%
user time and 0.27% max resident size was observed. More importantly
this change fixes parsing large metrics and event strings.

For the sake of Intel topdown events commit 9eac5612da ("perf
stat: Don't skip failing group events") changed 'perf stat' error
handling making it so that more errors were fatal and didn't report
"<not supported>" events. The change outside of topdown events was
unintentional.
The notion of "fatal" error handling was introduced in commit
e0e6a6ca3a ("perf stat: Factor out open error handling") and
refined in commits like commit cb5ef60067 ("perf stat: Error out
unsupported group leader immediately") to be an approach for avoiding
later assertion failures in the code base.
This change fixes those issues and removes the notion of a fatal error
on an event. If all events fail to open then a fatal error occurs with
the previous fatal error message. This seems to best match the notion of
supported events and allowing some errors not to stop 'perf stat', while
allowing the truly fatal no event case to terminate the tool early.
The evsel->errored flag is only used in the stat code but always just
meaning !evsel->supported although there is a comment about it being
sticky. Force all evsels to be supported in evsel__init and then clear
this when evsel__open fails. When an event is tried the supported is
set to true again. This simplifies the notion of whether an evsel is
broken.
In the get_group_fd code, fail to get a group fd when the evsel isn't
supported. If the leader isn't supported then it is also expected that
there is no group_fd as the leader will have been skipped. Therefore
change the BUG_ON test to be on supported rather than skippable. This
corrects the assertion errors that were the reason for the previous
fatal error handling.

After KVM supports PEBS for guest on Intel platforms
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220411101946.20262-1-likexu@tencent.com/),
host loses the capability to sample guest with PEBS since all PEBS related
MSRs are switched to guest value after vm-entry, like IA32_DS_AREA MSR is
switched to guest GVA at vm-entry. This would lead to "perf kvm record"
fails to sample guest on Intel platforms since "cycles:P" event is used to
sample guest by default as below case shows.
sudo perf kvm record -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.787 MB perf.data.guest ]
So to ensure guest record can be sampled successfully, use "cycles"
instead of "cycles:P" to sample guest record by default on Intel
