Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 22d4621987 perf config: Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair
So perf_config() uses:

  int ret = 0;

  perf_config_set__for_each_entry(config_set, section, item) {
          ...
          ret = fn();
          if (ret < 0)
                  break;
  }

  return ret;

Expecting that that break will imediatelly go to function exit to return
that error value (ret).

The problem is that perf_config_set__for_each_entry() expands into two
nested for() loops, one traversing the sections in a config and the
second the items in each of those sections, so we have to change that
'break' to a goto label right before that final 'return ret'.

With that, for instance 'perf trace' now correctly bails out when a
event that is requested to be added via its 'trace.add_events'
~/.perfconfig entry gets rejected by the kernel BPF verifier:

  # perf trace ls
  event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o'
                       \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  Error: wrong config key-value pair trace.add_events=/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  #

While before it would continue and explode later, when trying to find
maps that would have been in place had that augmented_raw_syscalls.o
precompiled BPF proggie been accepted by the, humm, bast... rigorous
kernel BPF verifier 8-)

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.
