Our local MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) build of perf throws a warning that
comes from the "dso__disassemble_filename" function in
"tools/perf/util/annotate.c" when running perf record.
The warning stems from the call to readlink, in which "build_id_path"
was being read into "linkname". Since readlink does not null terminate,
an uninitialized memory access would later occur when "linkname" is
passed into the strstr function. This is simply fixed by
null-terminating "linkname" after the call to readlink.
To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
$ make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory -fsanitize-memory-track-origins"
(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)
Then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate -i - --stdio
Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.

As they are 'struct evsel' methods or related routines, not part of
tools/lib/perf/, aka libperf, to whom the perf_ prefix belongs.

perf annotate --show-nr-samples does not really show number of samples.
The reason is we have two separate variables for the same purpose.
One is in symbol_conf.show_nr_samples and another is
annotation_options.show_nr_samples.
We save command line option in symbol_conf.show_nr_samples but uses
annotation_option.show_nr_samples while rendering tui/stdio2 browser.
Though, we copy symbol_conf.show_nr_samples to
annotation__default_options.show_nr_samples but that is not really
effective as we don't use annotation__default_options once we copy
default options to dynamic variable annotate.opts in cmd_annotate().
Instead of all these complication, keep only one variable and use it all
over. symbol_conf.show_nr_samples is used by perf report/top as well. So
let's kill annotation_options.show_nr_samples.
On a side note, I've kept annotation_options.show_nr_samples definition
because it's still used by perf-config code. Follow up patch to fix
perf-config for annotate will remove annotation_options.show_nr_samples.

The objdump utility has useful --prefix / --prefix-strip options to
allow changing source code file names hardcoded into executables' debug
info. Add options to 'perf report', 'perf top' and 'perf annotate',
which are then passed to objdump.

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.
The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.
That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.
First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

So that we pass that substructure around and with it consolidate lots of
functions that receive a (map, symbol) pair and now can receive just a
'struct map_symbol' pointer.
This further paves the way to add 'struct map_groups' to 'struct
map_symbol' so that we can have all we need for annotation so that we
can ditch 'struct map'->groups, i.e. have the map_groups pointer in a
more central place, avoiding the pointer in the 'struct map' that have
tons of instances.
