Based on commit 7d54a4acd8c1de3e ("perf test: Skip watchpoint tests if
no watchpoints available"), hardware breakpoints are not available for
power9 platform and because of that 'perf bench breakpoint' run fails on
power9 platform.
Add code to check for the return value of perf_event_open() in the
breakpoint run and skip the 'perf bench breakpoint' run, if hardware
breakpoints are not available.
Result on power9 system before patch changes:
[command]# perf bench breakpoint thread
perf_event_open: No such device
Result on power9 system after patch changes:
[command]# ./perf bench breakpoint thread
Skipping perf bench breakpoint thread: No hardware support

Cast pointers to unsigned long instead of to uint64_t to avoid this
problem on 32-bit arches:

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
79.01% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] smp_call_function_single
9.94% breakpoint-enab [kernel.kallsyms] [k] llist_add_batch
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
