[PATCH v5 0/5] perf evsel fallback changes

[Ian Rogers]

Discussion with Thomas Richter in:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260306071002.2526085-1-tmricht@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
showed that the evsel__fallback wasn't working for s390. These patches
avoid the problematic frame pointer callchain on s390 and fix
evsel__fallback from a range of problems when falling back to a
software event. I simulated failures when developing the patches but
they are untested other than that.

v5: Fix the value for the top option to match that of record. Tidy the
    callchain parsing option callbacks. Based on AI review feedback:

v4: Changing the callchain parameter at configuration time means other
    options aren't set the same as they would for `--call-graph
    dwarf`, for example the stack size. Switch to setting the
    callchain option on s390 to parameter parse time. For '-g' use
    '--call-graph dwarf' for s390. Other --call-graph options are
    parsed as normal, but a warning is generated when setting
    `--call-graph fp` for s390. Also fix that sample IDs aren't wanted
    when there is only 1 event in the evlist.

v3: Incorporate feedback about event and callchain behavior for s390:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260313202811.2599195-1-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/

v2: try exclude_callchain_user for s390 rather than fully disabling
    the callchain. Fix a missed clearing of is_pmu_core if the
    software event fallback.
