df36d2572e perf bench breakpoint: Fix build on 32-bit arches
Cast pointers to unsigned long instead of to uint64_t to avoid this
problem on 32-bit arches:

68a6772f11 perf bench: Add breakpoint benchmarks
Add 2 benchmarks:

1. Performance of thread creation/exiting in presence of breakpoints.
2. Performance of breakpoint modification in presence of threads.

The benchmarks capture use cases that we are interested in:
using inheritable breakpoints in large highly-threaded applications.

The benchmarks show significant slowdown imposed by breakpoints
(even when they don't fire).

Testing on Intel 8173M with 112 HW threads show:

  perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=0 --parallelism=56 --threads=20
        78.675000 usecs/op
  perf bench --repeat=56 breakpoint thread --breakpoints=4 --parallelism=56 --threads=20
     12967.135714 usecs/op

That's 165x slowdown due to presence of the breakpoints.

  perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=0
         1.433250 usecs/op
  perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=224 --active=0
       585.318400 usecs/op
  perf bench --repeat=20000 breakpoint enable --passive=0 --active=111
       635.953000 usecs/op

That's 408x and 444x slowdown due to presence of threads.

Profiles show some overhead in toggle_bp_slot,
but also very high contention:

    90.83%  breakpoint-thre  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] osq_lock
     4.69%  breakpoint-thre  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
     2.06%  breakpoint-thre  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __reserve_bp_slot
     2.04%  breakpoint-thre  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] toggle_bp_slot

     5.70%  breakpoint-enab  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
     1.84%  breakpoint-enab  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] event_function_call
     1.12%  breakpoint-enab  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] send_call_function_single_ipi
     0.37%  breakpoint-enab  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] generic_exec_single
     0.24%  breakpoint-enab  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __perf_event_disable
     0.20%  breakpoint-enab  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] _perf_event_enable
     0.18%  breakpoint-enab  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] toggle_bp_slot

Committer notes:

Fixup struct init for older compilers:
