perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support

New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the
BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit
fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF
map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix
libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well
maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event
parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as
in paths.

This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then
the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole
source files like bpf-loader.c. Removing support means that augmented
syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit
adding support using BPF skeletons.

The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex
generated code, so update build to ignore it:

```
util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label]
2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */
```

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for
linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an
external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF
bytecode.

Testing it:

# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
\___ Bad event or PMU

Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'home'

Initial error:
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
\___ Cannot find PMU `home'. Missing kernel support?
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]

or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

perf srcline: Add a timeout to reading from addr2line

addr2line may fail to send expected values causing perf to wait
indefinitely. Add a 1 second timeout (twice the timeout for reading from
/proc/pid/maps) so that such reads don't cause perf to appear to lock
up.

There are already checks that the file for addr2line contains a debug
section but this isn't always sufficient. The problem was observed when
a valid elf file would set the configuration for binutils addr2line,
then a later read of vmlinux with ELF debug sections would cause a
failing write/read which would block indefinitely.

As a service to future readers, if the io hits eof or an error, cleanup
the addr2line process.

perf config: Refine error message to eliminate confusion

If there is no configuration file at first, the user can write any pair
of "key.subkey=value" to the newly created configuration file, while
value validation against a valid configurable key is *deferred* until
the next execution or the implied execution of "perf config ... ".

For example:

$ rm ~/.perfconfig
$ perf config call-graph.dump-size=65529
$ cat ~/.perfconfig
# this file is auto-generated.
[call-graph]
dump-size = 65529
$ perf config call-graph.dump-size=2048
callchain: Incorrect stack dump size (max 65528): 65529
Error: wrong config key-value pair call-graph.dump-size=65529

The user might expect that the second value 2048 is valid and can be
updated to the configuration file, but the error message is very
confusing because the first value 65529 is not reported as an error
during the last configuration.

It is recommended not to change the current behavior of delayed
validation (as more effort is needed), but to refine the original error
message to *clearly indicate* that the cause of the error is the
configuration file.

perf config: Fix caching and memory leak in perf_home_perfconfig()

Acaict, perf_home_perfconfig() is supposed to cache the result of
home_perfconfig, which returns the default location of perfconfig for
the user, given the HOME environment variable.

However, the current implementation calls home_perfconfig every time
perf_home_perfconfig() is called (so no caching is actually performed),
replacing the previous pointer, thus also causing a memory leak.

This patch adds a check of whether either config or failed is set and,
in that case, directly returns config without calling home_perfconfig at
each invocation.

Currently, to use BPF to aggregate perf event counters, the user uses
--bpf-counters option. Enable "use bpf by default" events with a config
option, stat.bpf-counter-events. Events with name in the option will use
BPF.

This also enables mixed BPF event and regular event in the same sesssion.
For example:

perf config stat.bpf-counter-events=instructions
perf stat -e instructions,cs

The second command will use BPF for "instructions" but not "cs".

The summary line loses the timestamp column, which breaks the CSV
output.

We add a column at the original 'timestamp' position and it just says
'summary' for the summary line.

Now it's easy for script to analyse the summary lines.

Of course, we also consider not to break possible existing scripts which
can continue to use the broken CSV format by using a new '--no-csv-summary.'

perf config: Export the perf_config_from_file() function

We'll use it to ask for extra config files to be loaded, profile like
stuff that will be used first to make 'perf trace' mimic 'strace' output
via a 'perf strace' command that just sets up 'perf trace' output.

At some point it'll be used for regression tests, where we'll run some
simple commands like:

perf strace ls > perf-strace.output
strace ls > strace.output

And then do some mutable syscall arg aware diff like tool to deal with
arguments for things like mmap, that change at each execution, to be
first ignored and then properly tracked when used accoss multiple
syscalls.

tools perf: Move from sane_ctype.h obtained from git to the Linux's original

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.

This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.

Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.

perf config: Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair

So perf_config() uses:

int ret = 0;

perf_config_set__for_each_entry(config_set, section, item) {
...
ret = fn();
if (ret < 0)
break;
}

return ret;

Expecting that that break will imediatelly go to function exit to return
that error value (ret).

The problem is that perf_config_set__for_each_entry() expands into two
nested for() loops, one traversing the sections in a config and the
second the items in each of those sections, so we have to change that
'break' to a goto label right before that final 'return ret'.

With that, for instance 'perf trace' now correctly bails out when a
event that is requested to be added via its 'trace.add_events'
~/.perfconfig entry gets rejected by the kernel BPF verifier:

# perf trace ls
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o'
\___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Error: wrong config key-value pair trace.add_events=/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
#

While before it would continue and explode later, when trying to find
maps that would have been in place had that augmented_raw_syscalls.o
precompiled BPF proggie been accepted by the, humm, bast... rigorous
kernel BPF verifier 8-)
