<title>perf bench futex: Fix memory leak of perf_cpu_map__new()</title>

[ Upstream commit 88e48238d53682281c9de2a0b65d24d3b64542a0 ]

ASan reports memory leaks while running:

  $ sudo ./perf bench futex all

The leaks are caused by perf_cpu_map__new not being freed.
This patch adds the missing perf_cpu_map__put since it calls
cpu_map_delete implicitly.

That 'len' variable is not used at all, so just make sure all the
synthesize_RECORD() routines return ssize_t to propagate the writen()
return, as it may fail, ditch the 'ret' var and bail out if those
routines fail.

That 'len' variable is not used at all, so just make sure all the
synthesize_RECORD() routines return ssize_t to propagate the writen()
return, as it may fail, ditch the 'ret' var and bail out if those
routines fail.

<title>perf bench: Add benchmark for evlist open/close operations</title>

<id>4241eabf59d5b7e9b5b567526f6e319f81dff894</id>
<content type='text'>
This new benchmark finds the total time that is taken to open, mmap,
enable, disable, munmap, close an evlist (time taken for new,
create_maps, config, delete is not counted in).

The evlist can be configured as in perf-record using the
-a,-C,-e,-u,--per-thread,-t,-p options.

The events can be duplicated in the evlist to quickly test performance
with many events using the -n options.

Furthermore, also the number of iterations used to calculate the
statistics is customizable.

Examples:
- Open one dummy event system-wide:

  $ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close
    Number of cpus:       4
    Number of threads:    1
    Number of events:     1 (4 fds)
    Number of iterations: 100
    Average open-close took: 613.870 usec (+- 32.852 usec)

- Open the group '{cs,cycles}' on CPU 0

  $ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e '{cs,cycles}' -C 0
    Number of cpus:       1
    Number of threads:    1
    Number of events:     2 (2 fds)
    Number of iterations: 100
    Average open-close took: 8503.220 usec (+- 252.652 usec)

- Open 10 'cycles' events for user 0, calculate average over 100 runs

  $ sudo ./perf bench internals evlist-open-close -e cycles -n 10 -u 0 -i 100
    Number of cpus:       4
    Number of threads:    328
    Number of events:     10 (13120 fds)
    Number of iterations: 100
    Average open-close took: 180043.140 usec (+- 2295.889 usec)

Committer notes:

Replaced a deprecated bzero() call with designated initialized zeroing.

Added some missing evlist allocation checks, one noted by Riccardo on
the mailing list.

Minor cosmetic changes (sent in private).

This extends the program to measure WAIT_REQUEUE_PI+CMP_REQUEUE_PI
pairs, which are the underlying machinery behind priority-inheritance
aware condition variables. The defaults are the same as with the regular
non-pi version, requeueing one task at a time, with the exception that
PI will always wakeup the first waiter.
