    perf beauty: Hook up the x86 MSR table generator · fd218347
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    This way we generate the source with the table for later use by plugins,
    etc.
    
    I.e. after running:
    
      $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
    
    We end up with:
    
      $ head /tmp/build/perf/trace/beauty/generated/x86_arch_MSRs_array.c
      static const char *x86_MSRs[] = {
      	[0x00000000] = "IA32_P5_MC_ADDR",
      	[0x00000001] = "IA32_P5_MC_TYPE",
      	[0x00000010] = "IA32_TSC",
      	[0x00000017] = "IA32_PLATFORM_ID",
      	[0x0000001b] = "IA32_APICBASE",
      	[0x00000020] = "KNC_PERFCTR0",
      	[0x00000021] = "KNC_PERFCTR1",
      	[0x00000028] = "KNC_EVNTSEL0",
      	[0x00000029] = "KNC_EVNTSEL1",
      $
    
    Now its just a matter of using it, first in a libtracevent plugin.
    
    At some point we should move tools/perf/trace/beauty to tools/beauty/,
    so that it can be used more generally and even made available externally
    like libbpf, libperf, libtraevent, etc.
