Ian Rogers b9d1fdc6f4 perf: Replace perf_event_header__init_id with full header init
perf_iterate_sb() invokes its callback for each matching perf_event on
the CPU and task context, passing a shared caller-allocated event
structure.

perf_event_header__init_id() mutated header->size in place by adding
event->id_header_size, requiring sideband output callbacks to save and
restore header fields across iterations. Three sideband callbacks failed
to save and restore header.size around perf_event_header__init_id():
 - perf_event_ksymbol_output()
 - perf_event_bpf_output()
 - perf_event_text_poke_output()

When multiple events with attr.ksymbol, attr.bpf_event, or
attr.text_poke and sample_id_all are active on the same CPU, each
subsequent event receives a record whose header.size is inflated by all
preceding events' id_header_size values while only a single id_sample is
written, leaving uninitialized ring-buffer bytes at the end of the
record and causing userspace perf to fail with -EFAULT ("Bad address")
when parsing the sample_id trailer.

Similarly, perf_event_mmap_output() set PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID
in mmap_event->event_id.header.misc when event->attr.build_id was
enabled, but only saved and restored header.size and header.type. If an
event with attr.build_id was followed by an event with attr.mmap2 and
!attr.build_id, the second event received PERF_RECORD_MISC_MMAP_BUILD_ID
in header.misc while its payload contained maj/min/ino/ino_generation
instead of a build ID.

Rather than splitting header initialization between callers and output
callbacks and saving/restoring mutated header fields, replace
perf_event_header__init_id() with perf_event_header__init(), which
initializes header->type, header->misc, and header->size alongside the
sample_id fields on each invocation.
