perf tests: Add test for uncore event sorting

Add a test for uncore event sorting matching multiple PMUs.

Uncore PMUs may have a common prefix, like the PMUs
uncore_imc_free_running_0 and uncore_imc_free_running_1 have a prefix of
uncore_imc_free_running.

Parsing an event group like "{data_read,data_write}" for those PMUs
should result with two groups:

"{uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/},
{uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/}"

which means the evsels need resorting as when initially parsed the
evsels are ordered with mixed PMUs:

"{uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_read/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_read/,
uncore_imc_free_running_0/data_write/,uncore_imc_free_running_1/data_write/}".

perf test: Add kallsyms split test

Create a fake root directory for /proc/{version,modules,kallsyms} in
/tmp for testing. The kallsyms has a bad symbol in the module and it
causes the main map splitted. The test ensures it only has two maps -
kernel and the module and it finds the initial map after the module
without creating the split maps like [kernel].0 and so on.

perf build: Shellcheck support for OUTPUT directory

Migrate Makefile.tests to Build so that variables like rule_mkdir are
defined via Makefile.build (needed so the output directory can be
created). This requires SHELLCHECK being exported and the clean rule
tweaking to remove the files in find.

Change find "-perm -o=x" as it was failing on my Debian based Linux
kernel tree, switch to using "-executable".

Adding a filename prefix of "." to the shellcheck log files is a pain
and error prone in make, remove this prefix and just add the
shellcheck log files to .gitignore.

Fix the command echo so that running the test is displayed.

perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support

New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the
BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit
fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF
map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix
libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well
maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event
parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as
in paths.

This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then
the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole
source files like bpf-loader.c. Removing support means that augmented
syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit
adding support using BPF skeletons.

The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex
generated code, so update build to ignore it:

```
util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label]
2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */
```

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for
linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an
external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF
bytecode.

Testing it:

# perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
\___ Bad event or PMU

Initial error:

\___ Cannot find PMU `home'. Missing kernel support?

perf bpf: Remove support for embedding clang for compiling BPF events (-e foo.c)

This never was in the default build for perf, is difficult to maintain
as it uses clang/llvm internals so ditch it, keeping, for now, the
external compilation of .c BPF into .o bytecode and its subsequent
loading, that is also going to be removed, do it separately to help
bisection and to properly document what is being removed and why.

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch and removed some leftovers, namely
deleting these now unused feature tests:

tools/build/feature/test-clang.cpp
tools/build/feature/test-cxx.cpp
tools/build/feature/test-llvm-version.cpp
tools/build/feature/test-llvm.cpp

Testing the use of BPF events after applying this patch:

To use the external clang/llvm toolchain to compile a .c event and then
use libbpf to load it, to get the syscalls:sys_enter_open* tracepoints
and read the filename pointer, putting it into the ring buffer right
after the usual tracepoint payload for 'perf trace' to then print it:

perf test: Add Symbols test

Add a test to check function symbols do not overlap and are not zero
length.

The main motivation for the test is to make it easier to review changes
to PLT symbol synthesis i.e. changes to dso__synthesize_plt_symbols().

By default the test uses the perf executable as a test DSO, but a
specific DSO can be specified via a new perf test option "--dso".

The test is useful in the following ways:

- Any DSO can be tested, even ones that do not run on the current
architecture. For example, using cross-compiled DSOs to see how
well perf handles different architectures.

- With verbose > 1 (e.g. -vv), all the symbols are printed, which
makes it easier to see issues.

- perf removes duplicate symbols and expands zero-length symbols
to reach the next symbol, however that is done before adding
synthesized symbols, so the test is checking those also.

Example:

$ perf test -v Symbols
74: Symbols :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 154918
Testing /home/user/bin/perf
Overlapping symbols:
7d000-7f3a0 g _init
7d030-7d040 g __printf_chk@plt
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Symbols: FAILED!

Note the test fails because perf expands the _init symbol over the PLT
because there are no PLT symbols at that point, but then
dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command
line variables.

If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the
build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support.

This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace".

CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles,
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code.

Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the
commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The
majority of commands continue to work including "perf test".

Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added:

Had to tweak tools/perf/util/setup.py to make sure the python binding
shared object links with libtraceevent if -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is
present in CFLAGS.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures:

- Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/

- bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y

- The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be
built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it
in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of
dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target.

Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build
failures:

- The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that
traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case
when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files,
now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like
the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints.

- We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with
CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and
tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when
setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't
detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here
to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having
CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean
way.

From Athira:

<quote>
tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build
-perf-y += kvm-stat.o
+perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o
</quote>

Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests.

- s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if
HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT.

Also from Athira:

<quote>
With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment:
- Without libtraceevent-devel installed
- With libtraceevent-devel installed
- With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1”
</quote>

Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for
consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

support putting those tests into subdirectories, I need to change the
test code that scans/finds and runs them.

To support subdirs I have to recurse so it's time to refactor the code
to allow this and centralize the shell script finding into one location
and only one single scan that builds a list of all the found tests in
memory instead of it being duplicated in 3 places.

This code also optimizes things like knowing the max width of desciption
strings (as we can do that while we scan instead of a whole new pass of
opening files).

It also more cleanly filters scripts to see only *.sh files thus
skipping random other files in directories like *~ backup files, other
random junk/data files that may appear and the scripts must be
executable to make the cut (this ensures the script lib dir is not seen
as scripts to run).

This avoids perf test running previous older versions of test scripts
that are editor backup files as well as skipping perf.data files that
may appear and so on.
