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.

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.

The hist_browser__reset() is only called right after a filter is
applied so it needs to udpate browser->nr_entries properly. We cannot
use hists->nr_non_filtered_entreis directly since it's possible that
such entries are also filtered out by minimum percentage limit.
In addition when a filter is used for perf top, hist browser's
nr_entries field was not updated after applying the filter. But it
needs to be updated as new samples are coming.

The nr_entries variable is increased inside the loop in the function
but it always count the first entry regardless of it's filtered or
not; caused an off-by-one error.
It'd become a problem especially there's no entry at all - it'd get a
segfault during referencing a NULL pointer.

Currently, accounting each sample is done in multiple places - once
when adding them to the input tree, other when adding them to the
output tree. It's not only confusing but also can cause a subtle
problem since concurrent processing like in perf top might see the
updated stats before adding entries into the output tree - like seeing
more (blank) lines at the end and/or slight inaccurate percentage.
To fix this, only account the entries when it's moved into the output
tree so that they cannot be seen prematurely. There're some
exceptional cases here and there - they should be addressed separately
with comments.

The hists->nr_entries is counted in multiple places so that they can
confuse readers of the code. This is a preparation of later change
and do not intend any functional difference.
Note that report__collapse_hists() now changed to return nothing since
its return value (nr_samples) is only for checking if there's any data
in the input file and this can be acheived by checking ->nr_entries.

Commit 12e55569a2 "tools lib traceevent: Use helper trace-seq in print
functions like kernel does" added a extra trace_seq helper to process
string arguments like the kernel does it. But the difference between the
kernel and the userspace library is that the kernel's trace_seq structure
has a static allocated buffer. The userspace one has a dynamically
allocated one. It requires a trace_seq_destroy(), otherwise it produces
a nasty memory leak.

The return value for pevent_filter_match() is suppose to return FILTER_NONE
if the event doesn't have a filter, and FILTER_NOEXIST if there is no filter
at all. But the change 41e12e580a "tools lib traceevent: Refactor
pevent_filter_match() to get rid of die()" replaced the return value
with PEVENT_ERRNO__* values and added "backward compatibility" macros
that used the old names. Unfortunately, the NOEXIST and NONE macros were
swapped, and this broke users that use the old return names.
