This way we'll be able to pass more test specific parameters without
having to change this function signature.
Will be used by the upcoming 'shell tests', shell scripts that will
call perf tools and check if they work as expected, comparing its
effects on the system (think 'perf probe foo') the output produced, etc.

Since commit 18e7a45af9 ("perf/x86: Reject non sampling events with
precise_ip") returns -EINVAL for sys_perf_event_open() with an attribute
with (attr.precise_ip > 0 && attr.sample_period == 0), just like is done
in the routine used to probe the max precise level when no events were
passed to 'perf record' or 'perf top', i.e.:
perf_evsel__new_cycles()
perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip()
The x86 code, in x86_pmu_hw_config(), which is called all the way from
sys_perf_event_open() did, starting with the aforementioned commit:
/* There's no sense in having PEBS for non sampling events: */
if (!is_sampling_event(event))
return -EINVAL;
Which makes it fail for cycles:ppp, cycles:pp and cycles:p, always using
just the non precise cycles variant.
To make sure that this is the case, I tested it, before this patch,
with:
# perf probe -L x86_pmu_hw_config
<x86_pmu_hw_config@/home/acme/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:0>
0 int x86_pmu_hw_config(struct perf_event *event)
1 {
2 if (event->attr.precise_ip) {
<SNIP>
17 if (event->attr.precise_ip > precise)
18 return -EOPNOTSUPP;
/* There's no sense in having PEBS for non sampling events: */
21 if (!is_sampling_event(event))
22 return -EINVAL;
}
<SNIP>
# perf probe x86_pmu_hw_config:22
Added new events:
probe:x86_pmu_hw_config (on x86_pmu_hw_config:22)
probe:x86_pmu_hw_config_1 (on x86_pmu_hw_config:22)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:x86_pmu_hw_config_1 -aR sleep 1
# perf trace -e perf_event_open,probe:x86_pmu_hwconfig*/max-stack=16/ perf record usleep 1

#
The probe one called from perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() works
the first time, with attr.precise_ip = 3, wit hthe next ones being the
per cpu ones for the cycles:ppp event.
And here is the text from a report and alternative proposed patch by
Thomas-Mich Richter:
---
On s390 the counter and sampling facility do not support a precise IP
skid level and sometimes returns EOPNOTSUPP when structure member
precise_ip in struct perf_event_attr is not set to zero.
On s390 commnd 'perf record -- true' fails with error EOPNOTSUPP. This
happens only when no events are specified on command line.
The functions called are
...
--> perf_evlist__add_default
--> perf_evsel__new_cycles
--> perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip
The last function determines the value of structure member precise_ip by
invoking the perf_event_open() system call and checking the return code.
The first successful open is the value for precise_ip.
However the value is determined without setting member sample_period and
indicates no sampling.
On s390 the counter facility and sampling facility are different. The
above procedure determines a precise_ip value of 3 using the counter
facility. Later it uses the sampling facility with a value of 3 and
fails with EOPNOTSUPP.
---
v2: Older compilers (e.g. gcc 4.4.7) don't support referencing members
of unnamed union members in the container struct initialization, so
move from:
struct perf_event_attr attr = {
...
.sample_period = 1,
};
to right after it as:
struct perf_event_attr attr = {
...
};
attr.sample_period = 1;
v3: We need to reset .sample_period to 0 to let the users of
perf_evsel__new_cycles() to properly setup attr.sample_period or
attr.sample_freq. Reported by Ingo Molnar.

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.
Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
like the one in RHEL6, where:
test a = {
.func = foo,
};
fails.
To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.
