There's an environment that caused the following build error.  Include
"debug.h" (under util directory) to fix it.

test__x86_sample_parsing is identical to test__sample_parsing except
it explicitly tested PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT. Now the parsing code
is common move the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT to the common sample
parsing test and remove the x86 version.

By definition arch sample parsing and synthesis will inhibit certain
kinds of cross-platform record then analysis (report, script,
etc.). Remove arch_perf_parse_sample_weight and
arch_perf_synthesize_sample_weight replacing with a common
implementation. Combine perf_sample p_stage_cyc and retire_lat as
weight3 to capture the differing uses regardless of compiled for
architecture.

The string comparisons were overly broad and could fire for the
incorrect PMU and events. Switch to using the config in the attribute
then add a perf test to confirm the attribute config values match
those of parsed events of that name and don't match others. This
exposed matches for slots events that shouldn't have matched as the
slots fixed counter event, such as topdown.slots_p.

<title>perf build: Specify shellcheck should use bash</title>

When someone has a global shellcheckrc file, for example at
~/.config/shellcheckrc, with the directive 'shell=sh', building perf
will fail with many shellcheck errors like:

    In tests/shell/base_probe/test_adding_kernel.sh line 294:
    (( TEST_RESULT += $? ))
    ^---------------------^ SC3006 (warning): In POSIX sh, standalone ((..)) is undefined.

    For more information:
      https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC3006 -- In POSIX sh, standalone ((..)) is...
    make[5]: *** [tests/Build:91: tests/shell/base_probe/test_adding_kernel.sh.shellcheck_log] Error 1

Passing the '-s bash' option ensures that it runs correctly regardless
of a developers global configuration.

This patch adds '-s bash' and other options to the SHELLCHECK variable
in Makefile.perf and makes use of the variable consistently.

Bunch of IBS kernel fixes went in v6.15-rc1 [1].

The amd-ibs-period test will fail without those kernel patches.

Skip the test on system running kernel older than v6.15 to distinguish
genuine new failures vs known failure due to old kernel.

Since all the related IBS fixes went in -rc1 itself, the "&gt;= 6.15" check
will work for any custom compiled v6.15-* kernel as well.

IBS Fetch and IBS Op PMUs has various constraints on supported sample
periods. Add perf unit tests to test those.

Running it in parallel with other tests causes intermittent failures.
Mark it exclusive to force it to run sequentially. Sample output on a
Zen5 machine:

Without kernel fixes:

Committer notes:

Avoid using PAGE_SIZE as that define is also in sys/user.h

Make it a variable not to call sysconf() multiple times.

Also cast func to void * when passing it as the first arg to memcpy to
avoid this with some versions of clang:

  arch/x86/tests/amd-ibs-period.c:81:3: error: no matching function for call to 'memcpy'
                  memcpy(func, insn1, sizeof(insn1));
                  ^~~~~~
  /usr/include/string.h:27:7: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'int (*)(void)' to 'void *' for 1st argument
  void *memcpy (void *__restrict, const void *__restrict, size_t);
        ^
  /usr/include/fortify/string.h:40:27: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'int (*)(void)' to 'void *const' for 1st argument
  _FORTIFY_FN(memcpy) void *memcpy(void * _FORTIFY_POS0 __od,
                            ^
  arch/x86/tests/amd-ibs-period.c:87:3: error: no matching function for call to 'memcpy'

This one, for instance:

  Alpine clang version 19.1.4
  Target: x86_64-alpine-linux-musl
  Thread model: posix
  InstalledDir: /usr/lib/llvm19/bin
  Configuration file: /etc/clang19/x86_64-alpine-linux-musl.cfg

<title>perf build: Rename TEST_LOGS to SHELL_TEST_LOGS</title>

<content type='text'>
Rename TEST_LOGS to SHELL_TEST_LOGS as later changes will add more
kinds of test logs.
Minor comment tweak in Makefile.perf as more than just test shell
tests are checked.

<title>perf sample: Make user_regs and intr_regs optional</title>

The struct dump_regs contains 512 bytes of cache_regs, meaning the two
values in perf_sample contribute 1088 bytes of its total 1384 bytes
size. Initializing this much memory has a cost reported by Tavian
Barnes &lt;tavianator@tavianator.com&gt; as about 2.5% when running `perf
script --itrace=i0`:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d841b97b3ad2ca8bcab07e4293375fb7c32dfce7.1736618095.git.tavianator@tavianator.com/

Adrian Hunter &lt;adrian.hunter@intel.com&gt; replied that the zero
initialization was necessary and couldn't simply be removed.

This patch aims to strike a middle ground of still zeroing the
perf_sample, but removing 79% of its size by make user_regs and
intr_regs optional pointers to zalloc-ed memory. To support the
allocation accessors are created for user_regs and intr_regs. To
support correct cleanup perf_sample__init and perf_sample__exit
functions are created and added throughout the code base.
