arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack
requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable
stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll
needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the
appropriate linker note.
Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as
suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if
we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files.
Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when
(statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack.
But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an
indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.

The array debugfs_known_mountpoints[] will cause extra '/'
character output.
Remove it.

Modules installed outside of the kernel's build system should go into
"%s/lib/modules/%s/extra", but at present, perf will only look at them
when they are in "%s/lib/modules/%s/kernel". Lets encourage good
citizenship by relaxing this requirement to "%s/lib/modules/%s". This
way open source modules that are out-of-tree have no incentive to start
populating a directory reserved for in-kernel modules and I can stop
hex-editing my system's perf binary when profiling OSS out-of-tree
modules.
Feedback from Namhyung Kim correctly revealed that the hex-edits that I
had been doing meant that perf was also traversing the build and source
symlinks in %s/lib/modules/%s. That is undesireable, so we explicitly
exclude them from traversal with a minor tweak to the traversal routine.

In tests/parse-events.c test cases are declared in evlist_test[]
arrays. Elements of arrays are initialized in following pattern:
[i] = {
.name = ...,
.check = ...,
},
When perf-test is running with '-v' option, 'i' variable will be
printed for every existing test.
However, we can't add any arch specific tests inside #ifdefs, because it
will create collision between the element number inside #ifdef and the
next one outside.
This patch adds 'id' field in evlist_test, uses it as a test
identifier and removes explicit numbering of array elements. This helps
to number tests with gaps.

Trace events potentially can have a '-' in their trace system name,
e.g. kvm on s390 defines kvm-s390:* tracepoints.
We could not parse them, because there was no rule for this:
$ sudo ./perf top -e "kvm-s390:*"
invalid or unsupported event: 'kvm-s390:*'
This patch adds an extra rule to event_legacy_tracepoint which handles
those cases. Without the patch, perf will not accept such tracepoints in
the -e option.
