[PATCH v1 0/9] perf python: Follow-up fixes and shell test deflaking

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

This series contains follow-up fixes for the standalone Python scripts
and their shell tests, particularly when running 'perf test' as root
under heavy parallel load:

- Clamp sample_id size calculation for PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL,
  PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, and PERF_RECORD_TEXT_POKE records to work
  around kernels without "perf/core: Restore header fields in sideband
  output callbacks" [1].
- Fix offline interval printing in sctop.py and live signal races in
  stat-cpi.py.
- Deflake Intel PT, failed-syscalls, and other Python shell tests under
  parallel 'perf test' load by scoping tracepoint checks to
  'perf list tracepoint', passing '-B -N --no-bpf-event' to 'perf record',
  and avoiding unnecessary system-wide ('-a') recordings.
- Default event_analyzing_sample.py to an in-memory SQLite database
  (':memory:') when '--db' is not specified.
- Initialize perf debug output ('perf_debug_setup()') when loading the
  'perf' Python extension module.
- Fix races in 'perf list' ('perf_pmus__print_pmu_events()' and
  'tp_pmu.c') when concurrent tests dynamically create and remove
  kprobe/uprobes tracepoints.
