perf record: Move setting tracking events before record__init_thread_masks()

User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, so when tracing selected CPUs,
sideband for all CPUs is needed. In this case set the cpu map of the evsel
to all online CPUs. This may modify the original cpu map of the evlist.

Therefore, need to check whether the preceding scenario exists before
record__init_thread_masks().

Dummy tracking has been set in record__open(), move it before
record__init_thread_masks() and add a helper for unified processing.

The sys_perf_event_open invoked is as follows:

# perf --debug verbose=3 record -e cpu-clock -D 100 true

'perf test' needs to update base-record & system-wide-dummy attr expected values
for test-record-C0:

1. Because a dummy sideband event is added to the sampling of specified
CPUs. When evlist contains evsel of different sample_type,
evlist__config() will change the default PERF_SAMPLE_ID bit to
PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFICATION bit.
The attr sample_type expected value of base-record and system-wide-dummy
in test-record-C0 needs to be updated.

2. The perf record uses evlist__add_aux_dummy() instead of
evlist__add_dummy() to add a dummy event.
The expected value of system-wide-dummy attr needs to be updated.

The 'perf test' result is as follows:

# ./perf test list 2>&1 | grep 'Setup struct perf_event_attr'
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr
# ./perf test 17
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr : Ok

perf test: Fix wrong size expectation for 'Setup struct perf_event_attr'

The test case "perf test 'Setup struct perf_event_attr'" is failing.

On s390 this output is observed:

# ./perf test -Fvvvv 17

match: [event-0-0-4] matches []

This mismatch is caused by
commit 09519ec3b19e ("perf: Add perf_event_attr::config3")
which enlarges the structure perf_event_attr by 8 bytes.

Fix this by adjusting the expected value of size.

Output after:

perf test: Fix attr tests for PERF_FORMAT_LOST

Since PERF_FORMAT_LOST was added, the default read format has that bit
set, so add it to the tests. Keep the old value as well so that the test
still passes on older kernels.

This fixes the following failure:

expected read_format=0|4, got 20
FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-C0' - match failure

Also change the expected sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) from 120 to 128 due to
fields being added for the SIGTRAP changes.

# 0a892c1c 22-Apr-2020 Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>

perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis

During the processing of /proc during event synthesis new processes may
start. Add a dummy event if /proc is to be processed, to capture mmaps
for starting processes. This reuses the existing logic for
initial-delay.

v3 fixes the attr test of test-record-C0
v2 fixes the dummy event configuration and a branch stack issue.
