Store SYMBOL_ANNOTATE_ERRNO__BPF_MISSING_BTF in variable *ret*, instead
of returning in the middle of the function and leaking multiple
resources: prog_linfo, btf, s and bfdf.

[ Upstream commit 11aad897f6d1a28eae3b7e5b293647c522d65819 ]

Return errno when open_memstream() fails and add two new speciall error
codes for when an invalid, non BPF file or one without BTF is passed to
symbol__disassemble_bpf(), so that its callers can rely on
symbol__strerror_disassemble() to convert that to a human readable error
message that can help figure out what is wrong, with hints even.

[ Upstream commit 16ed3c1e91159e28b02f11f71ff4ce4cbc6f99e4 ]

We should return errno or the annotation extra range understood by
symbol__strerror_disassemble() instead of -1, fix it, returning ENOMEM
instead.

[ Upstream commit 211f493b611eef012841f795166c38ec7528738d ]

We were just returning -1 in symbol__annotate() when symbol__annotate()
failed, propagate its error as it is used later to pass to
symbol__strerror_disassemble() to present a error message to the user,
that in some cases were getting:

  "Invalid -1 error code"

Fix it to propagate the error.

[ Upstream commit a66fa0619a0ae3585ef09e9c33ecfb5c7c6cb72b ]

The callers of symbol__annotate2() use symbol__strerror_disassemble() to
convert its failure returns into a human readable string, so
propagate error values from functions it calls, starting with
perf_env__arch() that when fails the right thing to do is to look at
'errno' to see why its possible call to uname() failed.

[ Upstream commit 6bdfd9f118bd59cf0f85d3bf4b72b586adea17c1 ]

The Intel fixed counters use a special table to override the JSON
information.

During this override the period information from the JSON file got
dropped, which results in inst_retired.any and similar running with
frequency mode instead of a period.

Just specify the expected period in the table.

[ Upstream commit e98df280bc2a499fd41d7f9e2d6733884de69902 ]

When the LBR data and the instructions in a binary do not match the loop
printing instructions could get confused and print a long stream of
bogus &lt;bad&gt; instructions.

The problem was that if the instruction decoder cannot decode an
instruction it ilen wasn't initialized, so the loop going through the
basic block would continue with the previous value.

Harden the code to avoid such problems:

- Make sure ilen is always freshly initialized and is 0 for bad
  instructions.

- Do not overrun the code buffer while printing instructions

- Print a warning message if the final jump is not on an instruction
  boundary.
