This patch introduces side band thread that captures extended information for events like PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. This new thread uses its own evlist that uses ring buffer with very low watermark for lower latency. To use side band thread, we need to: 1. add side band event(s) by calling perf_evlist__add_sb_event(); 2. calls perf_evlist__start_sb_thread(); 3. at the end of perf run, perf_evlist__stop_sb_thread(). In the next patch, we use this thread to handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. Committer notes: Add fix by Jiri Olsa for when te sb_tread can't get started and then at the end the stop_sb_thread() segfaults when joining the (non-existing) thread. That can happen when running 'perf top' or 'perf record' as a normal user, for instance. Further checks need to be done on top of this to more graciously handle these possible failure scenarios.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
