Harden feature section parsing against crafted perf.data files:
1. perf_header__process_sections() reads the feature section table
and passes each section's offset and size directly to the
processing callbacks without validating them against the actual
file size. A crafted section size would make all downstream
bounds checks against ff->size ineffective since they compare
against the untrusted, inflated bound. Add an fstat() check
with S_ISREG() guard and verify that each section's offset +
size does not extend past EOF.
2. __do_read_buf() validates reads against ff->size (section size),
but __do_read_fd() had no such check, so a malformed perf.data
with an understated section size could cause reads past the end
of the current section into the next section's data. Add the
bounds check in __do_read(), the common caller of both helpers,
so it is enforced uniformly for both the fd and buf paths.
Track the section-relative offset in __do_read_fd() so the
check works for the fd path. Reject negative sizes which on
32-bit can occur when a u32 >= 0x80000000 is passed as ssize_t.
3. do_read_string() relied on file data being null-padded. Add
explicit null-termination (buf[len-1] = '\0') after reading
and validate length (>= 1, fits within section) before
allocating, so callers like process_cpu_topology() never
receive an unterminated string.
4. Initialize feat_fd.offset to 0 (section-relative) instead of
section->offset (file-absolute) so the bounds tracking is
consistent with __do_read()'s section-relative comparison.
Adjust process_build_id() to use lseek() for its file-absolute
offset needs since it cannot rely on ff->offset for that.
5. Propagate ff->size to perf_file_section__fprintf_info() so its
reads are also bounded.
