perf_evsel::sample_id is an xyarray which can cause a segfault when
accessed beyond its size. e.g.
# perf record -e intel_pt// -C 1 sleep 1
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#
That is happening because a dummy event is opened to capture text poke
events accross all CPUs, however the mmap logic is allocating according
to the number of user_requested_cpus.
In general, perf sometimes uses the evsel cpus to open events, and
sometimes the evlist user_requested_cpus. However, it is not necessary
to determine which case is which because the opened event file
descriptors are also in an xyarray, the size of whch can be used
to correctly allocate the size of the sample_id xyarray, because there
is one ID per file descriptor.
Note, in the affected code path, perf_evsel fd array is subsequently
used to get the file descriptor for the mmap, so it makes sense for the
xyarrays to be the same size there.

Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
include:
o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
vector when defined.
o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.
- Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
when in context.
o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.
o VM exits and VM entries.¹
- VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.
o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
instructions.
o Shutdown.
Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

Pull flexible-array transformations from Gustavo Silva:
"Treewide patch that replaces zero-length arrays with flexible-array
members.
This has been baking in linux-next for a whole development cycle"
* tag 'flexible-array-transformations-5.18-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gustavoars/linux:
treewide: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members
The existing API perf_thread_map__new_dummy() allocates new thread map
for one thread. I couldn't find a way to reallocate the map with more
threads, or to allocate a new map for more than one thread.
Having multiple threads in a thread map is essential for some use cases.
That's why a new API is proposed, which allocates a new thread map for
given number of threads: perf_thread_map__new_array()

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].
This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(next-20220214$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)
@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@
struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};
UAPI and wireless changes were intentionally excluded from this patch
and will be sent out separately.

$(or ...) is available since GNU Make 3.81, and useful to shorten the
code in some places.
Covert as follows:
$(if A,A,B) --> $(or A,B)
This patch also converts:
$(if A, A, B) --> $(or A, B)
Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because
GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B)
expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A".
Anyway, preceding spaces are not significant in the code hunks I touched.
