From: Chaitanya S Prakash <chaitanyas.prakash at arm.com>
Perf treated all files beginning with "/tmp/perf-" as a map file despite
them always ending in ".map", this caused the test "perf probe of
function from different CU" to fail when Perf was built with NO_DWARF=1.
As the file was parsed as a map file, the probe...--funcs command output
garbage values instead of listing the functions in the binary. After
fixing the issue an additional check to test the output of the
probe...--funcs command has been added.
Additionally, various functions within the codebase have been refactored
and restructured. The definition of str_has_suffix() has been adopted
from tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c and added to tools/lib/string.c in an
attempt to make the function more generic. The implementation has been
retained but the return values have been modified to resemble that of
str_has_prefix(), i.e., return strlen(suffix) on success and 0 on
failure. In light of the new addition, "ends_with()", a locally defined
function used for checking if a string had a given suffix has been
deleted and str_has_suffix() has replaced its usage. A call to
strtailcmp() has also been replaced as str_has_suffix() seemed more
suited for that particular use case.
Finally str_has_prefix() is adopted from the kernel and is added to
tools/lib/string.c, following which strstarts() is deleted and its use
has been replaced with str_has_prefix().
This patch series has been tested on 6.10-rc1 mainline kernel, both on
arm64 and x86 platforms.
Changes in V3:
- Patch adding configs required by "perf probe of function from different
CU" was originally part of the series but has been merged in 6.10-rc1.

- Restructure patches according to the maintainer trees.
- Add explanation for why '| grep "foo"' is used.
- Fix build errors for when perf is built with LLVM=1.
