<content type='text'>
The metricgroup__copy_metric_events() is to handle metrics events when
expanding event for cgroups.  As the metric events keep pointers to
evsel, it should be refreshed when events are cloned during the
operation.

The perf_stat__collect_metric_expr() is also called in case an event has
a metric directly.

During the copy, it references evsel by index as the evlist now has
cloned evsels for the given cgroup.

Also kernel test robot found an issue in the python module import so add
empty implementations of those two functions to fix it.

<title>perf tests: Call test_attr__open() directly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8366f0d268c20929d82d4b1407bd4c6f9232bdec</id>
<content type='text'>
There's no longer need to call test_attr__open() from
sys_perf_event_open(), because both 'perf record' and 'perf stat' call
evsel__open_cpu(), so we can call it directly from there and not polute
the perf-sys.h header.

<title>perf tool: Provide an option to print perf_event_open args and return value</title>

Perf record with verbose=2 already prints this information along with
whole lot of other traces which requires lot of scrolling. Introduce
an option to print only perf_event_open() arguments and return value.

Committer notes:

Just like the 'verbose' variable this new 'debug_peo_args' needs to be
added to util/python.c, since we don't link the debug.o file in the
python binding, which ended up making 'perf test python' fail with:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 19237
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: debug_peo_args
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: FAILED!
  #

After adding that new variable to util/python.c:

  # perf test -v python
  18: 'import perf' in python                               :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 22364
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  'import perf' in python: Ok

And add pr_debug2()/pr_debug3() macros support, because the code is
using them.

I.e. if evsel-&gt;evlist or evsel-&gt;evlist-&gt;env isn't set, return the
environment for the running machine, as that would be set if reading
from a perf.data file.
