In commit a21b0b354d ('perf: Introduce a flag to enable
close-on-exec in perf_event_open()'), flag PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC
was added to perf_event_open(2) syscall to allows userspace
to atomically enable close-on-exec behavor when creating
the file descriptor.
This patch makes perf tools use the new flag if supported
by the kernel, so that the event file descriptors got
automatically closed if perf tool exec a sub-command.

When building on powerpc, we get compile errors in bp_signal.c and
bp_signal_overflow.c due to __u64 and '%llx'.
Powerpc, needs __SANE_USERSPACE_TYPES__ to be defined so we pick up
<asm-generic/int-ll64.h> and define __u64 as unsigned long long.

Adding automated test for breakpoint event signal handler checking if
it's executed properly.
The test is related to the proper handling of the RF EFLAGS bit on
x86_64, but it's generic for all archs.
First we check the signal handler is properly called and that the
following debug exception return to user space wouldn't trigger
recursive breakpoint.
This is related to x86_64 RF EFLAGS bit being managed in a wrong way.
Second we check that we can set breakpoint in signal handler, which is
not possible on x86_64 if the signal handler is executed with RF EFLAG
set.
This test is inpired by overflow tests done by Vince Weaver.
