Reproducible with a clang asan build and then running perf test in
particular 'Parse event definition strings'.

ADD_CONFIG_TERM accesses term-&gt;weak, however, in get_config_chgs this
value is accessed outside of the list_for_each_entry and references
invalid memory. Add an argument for ADD_CONFIG_TERM for weak and set it
to false in the get_config_chgs case.

This bug was cause by clang's address sanitizer and libfuzzer. It can be
reproduced with a command line of:

  perf stat -a -e i/bs,tsc,L2/o

<title>perf parse: Copy string to perf_evsel_config_term</title>

<id>3220fb8d5e59d7a9b59d02965d4209aef7691e9f</id>

perf with CoreSight fails to record trace data with command:

  perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u --per-thread ls
  failed to set sink "" on event cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/u with 21 (Is a
  directory)/perf/

This failure is root caused with the commit 1dc925568f01 ("perf
parse: Add a deep delete for parse event terms").

The log shows, cs_etm fails to parse the sink attribution; cs_etm event
relies on the event configuration to pass sink name, but the event
specific configuration data cannot be passed properly with flow:

  get_config_terms()
    ADD_CONFIG_TERM(DRV_CFG, term-&gt;val.str);
      __t-&gt;val.str = term-&gt;val.str;
        `&gt; __t-&gt;val.str is assigned to term-&gt;val.str;

  parse_events_terms__purge()
    parse_events_term__delete()
      zfree(&amp;term-&gt;val.str);
        `&gt; term-&gt;val.str is freed and assigned to NULL pointer;

  cs_etm_set_sink_attr()
    sink = __t-&gt;val.str;
      `&gt; sink string has been freed.

To fix this issue, in the function get_config_terms(), this patch
changes to use strdup() for allocation a new duplicate string rather
than directly assignment string pointer.

This patch addes a new field 'free_str' in the data structure
perf_evsel_config_term; 'free_str' is set to true when the union is used
as a string pointer; thus it can tell perf_evsel__free_config_terms() to
free the string.

<title>perf parse: Refactor 'struct perf_evsel_config_term'</title>

<content type='text'>
The struct perf_evsel_config_term::val is a union which contains fields
'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch' as string pointers.  This leads to
the complex code logic for handling every type's string separately, and
it's hard to release string as a general way.

This patch refactors the structure to add a common field 'str' in the
'val' union as string pointer and remove the other three fields
'callgraph', 'drv_cfg' and 'branch'.  Without passing field name, the
patch simplifies the string handling with macro ADD_CONFIG_TERM_STR()
for string pointer assignment.

This patch fixes multiple warnings of line over 80 characters detected
by checkpatch tool.

An error may be in place when tracepoint_error is called, use
parse_events__handle_error to avoid a memory leak and to capture the
first and last error. Error detected by LLVM's libFuzzer using the
following event:

$ perf stat -e 'msr/event/,f:e'
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
                     \___ can't access trace events

Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/f/e
Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/'

Initial error:
event syntax error: 'msr/event/,f:e'
                                \___ no value assigned for term
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]

    -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

<title>perf pmu: When using default config, record which bits of config were changed by the user</title>

Default config for a PMU is defined before selected events are parsed.
That allows the user-entered config to override the default config.

However that does not allow for changing the default config based on
other options.

For example, if the user chooses AUX area sampling mode, in the case of
Intel PT, the psb_period needs to be small for sampling, so there is a
need to set the default psb_period to 0 (2 KiB) in that case. However
that should not override a value set by the user. To allow for that,
when using default config, record which bits of config were changed by
the user.

<title>perf record: Add aux-sample-size config term</title>

To allow individual events to be selected for AUX area sampling, add
aux-sample-size config term. attr.aux_sample_size is updated by
auxtrace_parse_sample_options() so that the existing validation will see
the value. Any event that has a non-zero aux_sample_size will cause AUX
area sampling to be configured, irrespective of the --aux-sample option.

Record the first event parsing error and report. Implementing feedback
from Jiri Olsa:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/28/680

An example error is:

Initial error:

  event syntax error: 'c/c/'
                      \___ Cannot find PMU `c'. Missing kernel support?
