I did testing with the patch, but it failed after I added eBPF event
with below command, I even saw segmentation fault; please see below
inline comments.
perf --debug verbose=10 trace -e string -e \

Here adds 'continue' so that we want to let ev_qualifier_ids.entries
to only store valid system call ids. But this is not sufficient,
because we have initialized ev_qualifier_ids.nr at the beginning of
the function:
trace->ev_qualifier_ids.nr = strlist__nr_entries(trace->ev_qualifier);
This sentence will set ids number to the string table's length; but
actually some strings are not really supported; this leads to some
items in trace->ev_qualifier_ids.entries[] will be not initialized
properly.
If we want to get neat entries and entry number, I suggest at the
beginning of the function we use variable 'nr_allocated' to store
string table length and use it to allocate entries:
nr_allocated = strlist__nr_entries(trace->ev_qualifier);
trace->ev_qualifier_ids.entries = malloc(nr_allocated *
sizeof(trace->ev_qualifier_ids.entries[0]));
If we find any matched string, then increment the nr field under
'matches' tag:
matches:
trace->ev_qualifier_ids.nr++;
trace->ev_qualifier_ids.entries[i++] = id;
This can ensure the entries[0..nr-1] has valid id and we can use
ev_qualifier_ids.nr to maintain the valid system call numbers.

Nitpick: directly return err and 'goto out' is not necessary.
