When PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is absent from a perf.data file, sample->cpu is
initialized to (u32)-1 by evsel__parse_sample(). Five call sites pass
this value directly to test_bit(sample->cpu, cpu_bitmap), reading
massively out of bounds past the DECLARE_BITMAP(..., MAX_NR_CPUS)
allocation of 4096 bits.
Add a sample->cpu >= MAX_NR_CPUS guard before each test_bit() call,
matching the existing safe pattern in builtin-kwork.c. This catches
both the (u32)-1 sentinel and any corrupted CPU value exceeding the
bitmap size.

Add the perf.data file offset and use perf_event__name() instead of raw
event type integers in the 'problem processing event, skipping it'
messages emitted by process_sample_event() callbacks across annotate,
c2c, diff, kmem, kvm, kwork, lock, report, script, and build-id.
This lets users cross-reference skipped events with 'perf report -D'
output. Also add explicit #include "util/event.h" and <inttypes.h>
where needed to avoid depending on transitive includes.

Add support for parsing an optional layout parameter in the --symfs
command line option. The format is:
--symfs <directory[,layout]>
Where layout can be:
- 'hierarchy': matches full path (default)
- 'flat': only matches base name
When debugging symbol files from a copy of the filesystem (e.g., from a
container or remote machine), the debug files are often stored in a
flat directory structure with only filenames, not the full original
paths. In this case, using 'flat' layout allows perf to find debug
symbols by matching only the filename rather than the full path.
For example, given a binary path like:
/build/output/lib/foo.so
With 'perf report --symfs /debug/files,flat', perf will look for:
/debug/files/foo.so
Instead of:
/debug/files/build/output/lib/foo.so
This is particularly useful when:
- Extracting debug files from containers with different directory layouts
- Working with build systems that flatten directory structures

Newer glibc versions return const char for strchr() when the 's' arg is
const, change the return variable to const to match that.
Also we don't need to turn that ',' into a '\0', as strtol() will stop
in the first invalid char. No need to touch read only memory.
First noticed with fedora 44.

Previously arch_support_sort_key and arch_perf_header_entry used a
weak symbol to compile as appropriate for x86 and powerpc. A
limitation to this is that the handling of a data file could vary in
cross-platform development. Change to using the perf_env of the
current session to determine the architecture kind and set the sort
key and header entries as appropriate.

When annotating a basic block, it's useful to display the occurrences
of other events in the block.
The branch counter feature is only available for newer Intel platforms.
So a dedicated option to display the branch counters is not introduced.
Reuse the existing --total-cycles option, which triggers the annotation
of a basic block and displays the cycle-related annotation.
When the branch counters information is available, the branch counters
are automatically appended after all the cycle-related annotation.
Accounting the branch counters as well when accounting the cycles in
hist__account_cycles().
In 'struct annotated_branch', introduce a br_cntr array to save the
accumulation of each branch counter.
In a sample, all the branch counters for a branch are saved in a u64
space.
Because the saturation of a branch counter is small, e.g., for Intel
Sierra Forest, the saturation is only 3.
Add ANNOTATION__BR_CNTR_SATURATED_FLAG to indicate if a branch counter
once saturated. That can be used to indicate a potential event lost
because of the saturation.

__cmd_diff() sets result of perf_session__new() to d->session.
In case of failure, it's errno and perf-diff may crash with:
failed to open perf.data: Permission denied

4 cmd_diff (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at builtin-diff.c:2011

Funny enough, it won't always crash. For me it crashes only if failed
file is second in cmd-line: the reason is that cmd_diff() check files for
branch-stacks [in check_file_brstack()] and if the first file doesn't
have brstacks, it doesn't proceed to try open other files from cmd-line.
Check d->session before calling perf_session__delete().
Another solution would be assigning to temporary variable, checking it,
but I find it easier to follow with IS_ERR() check in the same function.
After some time it's still obvious why the check is needed, and with
temp variable it's possible to make the same mistake.

We can get the per sample cycles by hist__account_cycles(). It's also
useful to know the total cycles of all samples in order to get the
cycles coverage for a single program block in further. For example:
coverage = per block sampled cycles / total sampled cycles
This patch creates a new argument 'total_cycles' in hist__account_cycles(),
which will be added with the cycles of each sample.

Fix 'perf tests topology' case, where we use that TEST_ASSERT_VAL(...,

case before when NULL was returned by perf_session__new() for failure,
but now we need to negate the result of IS_ERR(session) to respect that
TEST_ASSERT_VAL) expectation of zero meaning failure.
