I forgot to fill in the map_symbol->maps field in append_inlines() which
then makes code down the line segfault when trying to deref it.
It doesn't make any sense to have an addr_location with its 'map' member
not NULL while its 'maps' is NULL, after all al->maps is where al->map
is in.
It is done that way so that we don't have to have in each 'struct map' a
pointer to the 'struct maps' it is in, as we had in the past when we
would have 'map->mg', before 'struct maps' was combined with 'struct
map_groups', because there was always a one-to-one relationship for
these structs.
This fixes a segfault when processing DWARF callgraphs in 'perf report'.

Restructure the event opening in perf stat to cycle through the events
by CPU after setting affinity to that CPU.
This eliminates IPI overhead in the perf API.
We have to loop through the CPU in the outter builtin-stat code instead
of leaving that to low level functions.
It has to change the weak group fallback strategy slightly. Since we
cannot easily undo the opens for other CPUs move the weak group retry to
a separate loop.

The kernel perf subsystem has to IPI to the target CPU for many
operations. On systems with many CPUs and when managing many events the
overhead can be dominated by lots of IPIs.
An alternative is to set up CPU affinity in the perf tool, then set up
all the events for that CPU, and then move on to the next CPU.
Add some affinity management infrastructure to enable such a model.
Used in followon patches.

Use zfree() in some places, add missing stdbool.h header, some minor
coding style changes.

Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libbpf
(tools/lib/bpf). This patch adds libbpf package detection and support to
link perf with it dynamically.
The libbpf package status is displayed with:
$ make VF=1
Auto-detecting system features:
...
... libbpf: [ on ]
It's not checked by default, because it's quite new. Once it's on most
distros we can switch it on.
For the same reason it's not added to the test-all check.
Perf does not need advanced version of libbpf, so we can check just for
the base bpf_object__open function.

dynamically:
$ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.
The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.
That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.
First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

Default config for a PMU is defined before selected events are parsed.
That allows the user-entered config to override the default config.
However that does not allow for changing the default config based on
other options.
For example, if the user chooses AUX area sampling mode, in the case of
Intel PT, the psb_period needs to be small for sampling, so there is a
need to set the default psb_period to 0 (2 KiB) in that case. However
that should not override a value set by the user. To allow for that,
when using default config, record which bits of config were changed by
the user.

To allow individual events to be selected for AUX area sampling, add
aux-sample-size config term. attr.aux_sample_size is updated by
auxtrace_parse_sample_options() so that the existing validation will see
the value. Any event that has a non-zero aux_sample_size will cause AUX
area sampling to be configured, irrespective of the --aux-sample option.

Add support for parsing and validating AUX area sample options. At
present, the only option is the sample size, but it is also necessary to
ensure that events are in a group with an AUX area event as the leader.
Committer note:
Add missing 'static inline' in front of auxtrace_parse_sample_options()
for when we don't HAVE_AUXTRACE_SUPPORT.

Architectures are expected to know if AUX area sampling is supported by
the hardware. Add a function perf_can_aux_sample() which will determine
whether the kernel supports it.
Committer notes:
I reported that this message was taking place on a kernel without the
required bits:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 7 (Argument list too long) for event (branch-misses:u).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
Adrian sent a patch addressing it, with this explanation:
----
perf_can_aux_sample_size() always returned true because it did not pass
the attribute size to sys_perf_event_open, nor correctly check the
return value and errno.
----
After applying it I get, later in the series, when --aux-sample is
added:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
AUX area sampling is not supported by kernel
