Add a kselftest for testing process-wide perf events with synchronous SIGTRAP on events (using breakpoints). In particular, we want to test that changes to the event propagate to all children, and the SIGTRAPs are in fact synchronously sent to the thread where the event occurred. Note: The "signal_stress" test case is also added later in the series to perf tool's built-in tests. The test here is more elaborate in that respect, which on one hand avoids bloating the perf tool unnecessarily, but we also benefit from structured tests with TAP-compliant output that the kselftest framework provides.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
