<title>perf tools: Introduce timestamp__scnprintf_usec()</title>

Joonwoo reported that there's a mismatch between timestamps in script
and sched commands.  This was because of difference in printing the
timestamp.  Factor out the code and share it so that they can be in
sync.  Also I found that sched map has similar problem, fix it too.

Committer notes:

Fixed the max_lat_at bug introduced by Namhyung's original patch, as
pointed out by Joonwoo, and made it a function following the scnprintf()
model, i.e. returning the number of bytes formatted, and receiving as
the first parameter the object from where the data to the formatting is
obtained, renaming it from:

   char *timestamp_in_usec(char *bf, size_t size, u64 timestamp)

to

   int timestamp__scnprintf_usec(u64 timestamp, char *bf, size_t size)

<title>perf list: Make vendor event matching case insensitive</title>

Make the 'perf list' glob matching for vendor events case insensitive.
This allows to use the upper case vendor events with perf list too.

Now the following works:

  % perf list LONGEST_LAT

  ...

  cache:
    longest_lat_cache.miss
         [Core-originated cacheable demand requests missed LLC]
    longest_lat_cache.reference
         [Core-originated cacheable demand requests that refer to LLC]

And remove it from tools/perf/{perf,util}.h, making code that needs
these macros to include linux/time64.h instead, to match how this is
used in the kernel sources.

It's used from 2 objects in perf, so it's better to keep just one copy.

Which is just a wrapper for sys_getcpu and is not present in at least
musl libc.

Which is just a wrapper for sys_getcpu and is not present in at least
musl libc.

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.

But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.

So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

<title>perf tools: Separate accounting of contexts and real addresses in a stack trace</title>

The perf_sample-&gt;ip_callchain-&gt;nr value includes all the entries in the
ip_callchain-&gt;ip[] array, real addresses and PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER,etc},
while what the user expects is that what is in the kernel.perf_event_max_stack
sysctl or in the upcoming per event perf_event_attr.sample_max_stack knob be
honoured in terms of IP addresses in the stack trace.

So match the kernel support and validate chain-&gt;nr taking into account
both kernel.perf_event_max_stack and kernel.perf_event_max_contexts_per_stack.
