The event copy in the mmap is used to have storage to read an event. Not
all users of mmaps read the events, such as perf record. The amount of
buffer was also statically set to PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE rather than the
amount necessary from the header's event size.
Switch to a model where the event_copy is reallocated if too small to
the event's size. This adds the potential for the event to move, so if a
copy of the event pointer were stored it could be broken. All the
current users do:
while(event = perf_mmap__read_event()) { ... }
and so they would be broken due to the event being overwritten if they
had stored the pointer. Manual inspection and address sanitizer testing
also shows the event pointer not being stored.
