Instruction trace decoders such as Intel PT may have additional information
recorded in the trace. For example, Intel PT has power information and a
there is a new instruction 'ptwrite' that can write a value into a PTWRITE
trace packet.

Such information may be associated with an IP and so can be treated as a
sample (PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE). Custom data can be incorporated in the
sample as raw_data (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW).

However a means of identifying the raw data format is needed. That will
be done by synthesizing an attribute for it.

So add an attribute type for custom synthesized events.  Different
synthesized events will be identified by the attribute 'config'.

Committer notes:

Start those PERF_TYPE_ after the PMU range, i.e. after (INT_MAX + 1U),
i.e. after perf_pmu_register() -> idr_alloc(end=0).

This patch adds platform dependency into the test case 15
(perf_event_attr). It is based on a suggestion from Jiri Olsa.

Add a new optional attribute named 'arch' in the [config] section of the
test case file. It is a comma separated list of architecture names this
test can be executed on. For example:

  arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc

If this attribute is missing the test is executed on any platform.  This
does not break existing behavior.

The values listed for this attribute should be identical to uname -m
output.

If the list starts with an exclamation mark (!) the comparison is
inverted, for example for

  arch = !s390x,ppc

the test is not executed on s390x or ppc platforms.  The exclamation
mark must be at the beginnning of the list.

Here is an example debug output:

  [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C2
  arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc
  [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \
    -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1

provides the following output:

  running './tests/attr//test-stat-C1'
  test limitation 'x86_64,alpha,ppc' <--- new
    loading expected events
      Event event:base-stat
        fd = 1
        group_fd = -1
        .....

Here is the output when a test is skipped:

  [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C1
  arch = !s390x
  [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \
    -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1

provides the following output:

test limitation '!s390x' <--- new

skipped [s390x] './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' <--- new

The test is skipped with return code 0.

The kernel now supports the disabling of branch tracing, however the
decoder assumes branch tracing is always enabled. Pass through a parameter
to indicate whether branch tracing is enabled and use it to avoid cases
when the decoder is expecting branch packets. There are 2 such cases.
First, FUP packets which can bind to an IP even when there is no branch
tracing. Secondly, the decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP
to start decoding or to recover from errors.

The decoder will try to use branch packets to find an IP to start decoding
or to recover from errors. Currently the FUP packet is used only in the
case of an overflow, however there is no reason for that to be a special
case. So just use FUP always when scanning for an IP.

Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding purposes,

Intel PT uses IP compression based on the last IP. For decoding
purposes, 'last IP' is considered to be reset to zero whenever there is
a synchronization packet (PSB). The decoder wasn't doing that, and was
treating the zero value to mean that there was no last IP, whereas
compression can be done against the zero value. Fix by setting last_ip
to zero when a PSB is received and keep track of have_last_ip.

The decoder uses its current timestamp in samples. Usually that is a
timestamp that has already passed, but in some cases it is a timestamp
for a branch that the decoder is walking towards, and consequently
hasn't reached. Improve that situation by using the pkt_state to
determine when to use the current or previous timestamp.

Porting PPC to libdw only needs an architecture-specific hook to move
the register state from perf to libdw.

The ARM and x86 architectures already use libdw, and it is useful to
have as much common code for the unwinder as possible.  Mark Wielaard
has contributed a frame-based unwinder to libdw, so that unwinding works
even for binaries that do not have CFI information.  In addition,
libunwind is always preferred to libdw by the build machinery so this
cannot introduce regressions on machines that have both libunwind and
libdw installed.

Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost.

During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set.

The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and
two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT).

In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful
than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core
cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default.

SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf

Here is an example output.

 Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ':

SMI cycles%          SMI#
    0.1%              1

       0.010858678 seconds time elapsed

Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional
--no-metric-only.

/proc/version_signature or by parsing the results from uname().

Do it earlier not to confuse people reading this code in the future :-)
