Even though with the change of commit commit 2b29175 "tools lib
traceevent: Carve out events format parsing routine", allowed
__pevent_parse_format() to parse an event without the need of a pevent
handler, the event still needs to assign the pevent handed to it.
There's no problem with assigning it if the pevent is NULL, as the
event->pevent would be NULL without the assignment. But function parsing
handlers may be assigned to the pevent handler to help in parsing the
event. If there's no pevent then there would not be any function
handlers, but if the pevent isn't assigned first before parsing the
event, it wont honor the function handlers that were assigned.
Worse yet, the current code crashes if an event has a function that it
tries to parse. For example:
# perf record -e scsi:scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This happens because the scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout event format has the following:
scsi_trace_parse_cdb(p, __get_dynamic_array(cmnd), REC->cmd_len)
which hasn't been defined by the pevent code.

Summary of events per Peter:
"Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This
either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and
'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x
enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.
AMB IBS does work but doesn't currently support exclude_* at all,
setting an exclude_* bit will make it fail."
This patch handles userspace perf command, setting the exclude_guest
attribute if precise mode is requested, but only if a user has not
specified a request for guest or host only profiling (G or H attribute).
Kernel side AMD currently ignores all exclude_* bits, so there is no impact
to existing IBS code paths. Robert Richter has a patch where IBS code will
return EINVAL if an exclude_* bit is set. When this goes in it means use
of :p on AMD with IBS will first fail with EINVAL (because exclude_guest
will be set). Then the existing fallback code within perf will unset
exclude_guest and try again. The second attempt will succeed if the CPU
supports IBS profiling.

In __rb_erase_color(), we were always setting a node to black after
exiting the main loop. And in one case, after fixing up the tree to
satisfy all rbtree invariants, we were setting the current node to root
just to guarantee a loop exit, at which point the root would be set to
black. However this is not necessary, as the root of an rbtree is already
known to be black. The only case where the color flip is required is when
we exit the loop due to the current node being red, and it's easiest to
just do the flip at that point instead of doing it after the loop.

When we were processing a PERF_RECORD_EXIT event we first used
machine__findnew_thread for both the thread exiting and for its parent,
only to use just the thread struct associated with the one exiting, and
to just delete it.
If it existed, i.e. not created at this very moment in
machine__findnew_thread, it will be moved to the machine->dead_threads
linked list, because we may have hist_entries pointing to it, but if it
was created just do be deleted, it will just sit there with no
references at all.
Use the new machine__find_thread() method so that if it is not there, we
don't create it.
As a bonus the parent thread will also not be created at this point.
Create process_fork() and process_exit() helpers to use this and make
the builtins use it instead of the generic process_task(), ditched by
this patch.
