Subject[PATCH 1/3] Fix backward-ring-buffer.c format-truncation error
From
Perf does not build with the ubsan (undefined behavior sanitizer)
and there is an error that says:

tests/backward-ring-buffer.c:23:45: error: ‘%d’ directive output
may be truncated writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of
size 8 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf(proc_name, sizeof(proc_name), "p:%d\n", i);

This can be reproduced by running (from the tip directory):
make -C tools/perf USE_CLANG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=undefined"

Th error occurs because they are writing to the 10 byte buffer - the
index 'i' of the for loop and the 2 byte hardcoded string. If somehow 'i'
was greater than 8 bytes (10 - 2), then the snprintf function would
truncate the string. Increasing the size of the buffer fixes the error.
