The warning about kptr_restrict needs to be emitted only when it is set
and we ask for kernel space samples, so add a helper to help with that.

<title>perf evlist: Set the correct idx when adding dummy events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:555b4ec4d589eb0fcdf9d7b4b05a71984dbcaeee</id>
<content type='text'>
The evsel-&gt;idx field is used mainly to access the right bucket in
per-event arrays such as the annotation ones, but also to set
evsel-&gt;tracking, that in turn will decide what of the events will ask
for PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} to be generated, i.e. which
perf_event_attr will have its mmap, etc fields set.

When we were adding the "dummy" event using perf_evlist__add_dummy() we
were not setting it correctly, which could result in multiple tracking
events.

Now that I'll try using a dummy event to be the tracking one when using
'perf record --delay', i.e. when we process the --delay
setting we may already have the evlist set up, like with:

  perf record -e cycles,instructions --delay 1000 ./workload

We will need to add a "dummy" event, then reset evsel-&gt;tracking for the
first event, "cycles", and set it instead to the dummy one, and also
setting its attr.enable_on_exec, so that we get the PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
etc metadata events while waiting to enable the explicitely requested
events, so lets get this straight and set the right evsel-&gt;idx.

To better organize the sources, and we may end up even using it
directly, without evlists and evsels.

<title>perf evsel: Fix buffer overflow while freeing events</title>

Fix buffer overflow for:

  % perf stat -e msr/tsc/,cstate_core/c7-residency/ true

that causes glibc free list corruption. For some reason it doesn't
trigger in valgrind, but it is visible in AS:

The event is allocated with cpus == 1, but freed with cpus == real number
When the evsel close function walks the file descriptors it exceeds the
fd xyarray boundaries and reads random memory.

v2:

Now that xyarrays save their original dimensions we can use these to
iterate the two dimensional fd arrays. Fix some users (close, ioctl) in
evsel.c to use these fields directly. This allows simplifying the code
and dropping quite a few function arguments. Adjust all callers by
removing the unneeded arguments.

The actual perf event reading still uses the original values from the
evsel list.

There are cases where we want to leave attr.precise_ip as zero, such
as when using 'perf record --no-samples', where this would make the
kernel return -EINVAL.

hell, that makes changes to util.h or something included by it to cause
a complete rebuild of the tools.
