The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The
function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it
meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and
0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function
returns a negative value.
Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups
because the event->pmu was not set until after
hw_perf_event_init().

And also express its configuration toggles via a struct.
Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the
defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the
desired configuration.
If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel
and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init()
first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the
subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.

Currently, perf fails to compile on powerpc with this error:
CC util/header.o
In file included from util/../perf.h:17,
from util/header.c:9:
util/../../../arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h:360:27: error:
linux/linkage.h: No such file or directory make: ***
[util/header.o] Error 1
The reason is that we still have a #define __KERNEL__ in effect
at the point where <asm/unistd.h> gets included, which means we
get extra stuff that we don't need or want.
This fixes the problem by undefining __KERNEL__ once we have
included the file for which we need __KERNEL__ defined.

Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be

$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock
$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
$ perf report

Coming soon:
- Support for symbols in the event definition.
- Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
events.

Add the remaining necessary bits to support breakpoints created
through perf syscall.
We don't use the software counter interface as:
- We don't need to check against recursion, this is already done
in hardware breakpoints arch level.
- We already know the perf event we are dealing with when the
event is to be committed.

Perf tools create perf events as disabled in the beginning.
Breakpoints are then considered like ptrace temporary
breakpoints, only meant to reserve a breakpoint slot until we
get all the necessary informations from the user.
In this case, we don't check the address that is breakpointed as
it is NULL in the ptrace case.
But perf tools don't have the same purpose, events are created
disabled to wait for all events to be created before enabling
all of them. We want to check the breakpoint parameters in this
case.

It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context
that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing.
perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters
(2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them,
solved the worst of that, but there was still some left).
The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping
(we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last
schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the
events.
This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the
event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active.
Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a
event while the attached task was not scheduled in.
Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about
ctx->is_active.

It appeared we did call update_event_times() on exit, but we
failed to update the context time, which renders the former
moot.
Locking is a bit iffy, we call update_event_times under
ctx->mutex instead of ctx->lock - the next patch fixes this.

The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is
used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the
string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant.
The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly
closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead.
The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

mem-memcpy.c uses perf event system calls to obtain CPU clocks.
And it suddenly dies with BUG_ON() when it running on Linux
doesn't support perf event.
Also fail at calloc() can occur easily when too large
length is passed. Fail of calloc() causes sudden death
with assert().
These behaviours are not friendly. So I fixed the treating of
errors.

When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.
Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.
