perf/urgent fixes:
- Fix probing of precise_ip level for default cycles event, that
got broken recently on x86_64 when its arch code started
considering invalid requesting precise samples when not sampling
(i.e. when attr.sample_period == 0).
This also fixes another problem in s/390 where the precision
probing with sample_period == 0 returned precise_ip > 0, that
then, when setting up the real cycles event (not probing) would
return EOPNOTSUPP for precise_ip > 0 (as determined previously
by probing) and sample_period > 0.
These problems resulted in attr_precise not being set to the
highest precision available on x86.64 when no event was specified,
i.e. the canonical:
perf record ./workload
would end up using attr.precise_ip = 0. As a workaround this would
need to be done:
perf record -e cycles:P ./workload
And on s/390 it would plain not work, requiring using:
perf record -e cycles ./workload
as a workaround. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix perf build with ARCH=x86_64, when ARCH should be transformed
into ARCH=x86, just like with the main kernel Makefile and
tools/objtool's, i.e. use SRCARCH. (Jiada Wang)

perf tools: Fix build with ARCH=x86_64
With commit: 0a943cb10ce78 (tools build: Add HOSTARCH Makefile variable)
when building for ARCH=x86_64, ARCH=x86_64 is passed to perf instead of
ARCH=x86, so the perf build process searchs header files from
tools/arch/x86_64/include, which doesn't exist.
The following build failure is seen:
In file included from util/event.c:2:0:
tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:4:27: fatal error: uapi/asm/mman.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Fix this issue by using SRCARCH instead of ARCH in perf, just like the
main kernel Makefile and tools/objtool's.
