Better handle event parsing error by propagating the details
in upper layers or by dumping some failure message. So that
the user knows he has some crazy events in the batch.

Ensure the size of the dynamic fields such as callchains
or raw events don't overlap the whole event boundaries.
This prevents from dereferencing junk if the given size of
the callchain goes too eager.

Check that the total size of the sample fields having a fixed
size do not exceed the one of the whole event. This robustifies
the sample parsing.

Check we have enough mmaped space to read the current event
size from its headers, otherwise we may dereference some
hell there.

This patch fixes an issue with event parsing.
The following commit appears to have broken the
ability to specify a comma separated list of events:
commit ceb53fbf6d
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Date: Wed Apr 27 04:06:33 2011 +0200
perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
This patch fixes this while preserving the desired effect:
$ perf stat -e instructions:u,instructions:k ls /dev/null /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'ls /dev/null':
365956 instructions:u # 0.00 insns per cycle
731806 instructions:k # 0.00 insns per cycle
0.001108862 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers

The original Makefile uses "uname -m" to determine ARCH.
This causes problem on x86 when compile perf tool on 32 bit
userspace with a 64 bit kernel.
bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S: Assembler messages:
bench/../../../arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S:28: Error: bad register name `%rdi'
This is because "uname -m" returns x86_64 and memcpy_64.S is
included in 32 bit build.

If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers. Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked. If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.
But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.
Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Similar to perf-record, tell user about unsupported events
that will not be counted if invoked in verbose mode.
e.g.,
$ perf stat -e dTLB-prefetch-misses -v -- sleep 1
dTLB-prefetch-misses event is not supported by the kernel.
dTLB-prefetch-misses: 0 0 0
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
<not counted> dTLB-prefetch-misses
