This primitive allows scheduling work to run on a particular set of
cpus described by a "struct cpumask". This can be useful, for example,
if you have a per-cpu variable that requires code execution only if the
per-cpu variable has a certain value (for example, is a non-empty list).

This change makes lru_add_drain_all() only selectively interrupt

It's possible some of the counters in the group could be
disabled when sampling member of the event group is reading
the rest via PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing. Disabled
counters could then produce wrong numbers.
Fixing that by reading only enabled counters for PERF_SAM

Add support for enabling already set up counters by using an
ioctl. I share some code with the filter setup.

Make the "object code reading" test attempt to read from kcore.
The test uses objdump which struggles with kcore. i.e. doesn't always
work, sometimes takes a long time. The test has been made to work
around those issues.

When measuring workloads the startup phase -- doing page faults, dynamic
linking, opening files -- is often very different from the rest of the
workload. Especially with smaller kernels and using counter
multiplexing this can give significant measurement errors.

Annotation with /proc/kcore is possible so the logic is adjusted to
allow it. The main difference is that /proc/kcore had no symbols so the
parsing logic needed a tweak to read jump offsets.
The other difference is that objdump cannot always read from kcore.

Add a negative test to test__checkevent_pmu_events() to get lots of
coverage of the negative case, ie. when the modifier is not specified.
Add a test of a single event, and of the group case.

Minor cleanup.
The dummy execve to pre-resolve the PLT is obsolete since
"enable_on_execve" was added. The counters are only
running after the execve anyways. So just remove it.

We need to fail the event ID retrieval in case both following conditions
are true:

The PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format bit is the killer for retrieving event
ID out of the read syscall,
