Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and
widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of
the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field:
0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid
1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid
2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid
3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid
And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation
now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup.
Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit
should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual
instruction triggering the event.
This new scheme allows for a PEBS mode that uses the buffer for more
than a single event.

Stephane noticed that the ANY flag was in generic arch code, and Cyrill
reported that it broke the P4 code.
Solve this by merging x86_pmu::raw_event into x86_pmu::hw_config and
provide intel_pmu and amd_pmu specific versions of this callback.
The intel_pmu one deals with the ANY flag, the amd_pmu adds the few extra
event bits AMD64 has.

The netburst PMU is way different from the "architectural
perfomance monitoring" specification that current CPUs use.
P4 uses a tuple of ESCR+CCCR+COUNTER MSR registers to handle
perfomance monitoring events.
A few implementational details:
1) We need a separate x86_pmu::hw_config helper in struct
x86_pmu since register bit-fields are quite different from P6,
Core and later cpu series.
2) For the same reason is a x86_pmu::schedule_events helper
introduced.
3) hw_perf_event::config consists of packed ESCR+CCCR values.
It's allowed since in reality both registers only use a half
of their size. Of course before making a real write into a
particular MSR we need to unpack the value and extend it to
a proper size.
4) The tuple of packed ESCR+CCCR in hw_perf_event::config
doesn't describe the memory address of ESCR MSR register
so that we need to keep a mapping between these tuples
used and available ESCR (various P4 events may use same
ESCRs but not simultaneously), for this sake every active
event has a per-cpu map of hw_perf_event::idx <--> ESCR
addresses.
5) Since hw_perf_event::idx is an offset to counter/control register
we need to lift X86_PMC_MAX_GENERIC up, otherwise kernel
strips it down to 8 registers and event armed may never be turned
off (ie the bit in active_mask is set but the loop never reaches
this index to check), thanks to Peter Zijlstra
Restrictions:
- No cascaded counters support (do we ever need them?)
- No dependent events support (so PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
doesn't work for now)
- There are events with same counters which can't work simultaneously
(need to use intersected ones due to broken counter 1)
- No PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_ events yet
Todo:
- Implement dependent events
- Need proper hashing for event opcodes (no linear search, good for
debugging stage but not in real loads)
- Some events counted during a clock cycle -- need to set threshold
for them and count every clock cycle just to get summary statistics
(ie to behave the same way as other PMUs do)
- Need to swicth to use event_constraints
- To support RAW events we need to encode a global list of P4 events
into p4_templates
- Cache events need to be added
Event support status matrix:
Event status
-----------------------------
cycles works
cache-references works
cache-misses works
branch-misses works
bus-cycles partially (does not work on 64bit cpu with HT enabled)
instruction doesnt work (needs dependent event [mop tagging])
branches doesnt work

Use the LBR to fix up the PEBS IP+1 issue.
As said, PEBS reports the next instruction, here we use the LBR to find
the last branch and from that construct the actual IP. If the IP matches
the LBR-TO, we use LBR-FROM, otherwise we use the LBR-TO address as the
beginning of the last basic block and decode forward.
Once we find a match to the current IP, we use the previous location.
This patch introduces a new ABI element: PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT, which
conveys that the reported IP (PERF_SAMPLE_IP) is the exact instruction
that caused the event (barring CPU errata).
The fixup can fail due to various reasons:
1) LBR contains invalid data (quite possible)
2) part of the basic block got paged out
3) the reported IP isn't part of the basic block (see 1)

This patch implements support for Intel Precise Event Based Sampling,
which is an alternative counter mode in which the counter triggers a
hardware assist to collect information on events. The hardware assist
takes a trap like snapshot of a subset of the machine registers.
This data is written to the Intel Debug-Store, which can be programmed
with a data threshold at which to raise a PMI.
With the PEBS hardware assist being trap like, the reported IP is always
one instruction after the actual instruction that triggered the event.
This implements a simple PEBS model that always takes a single PEBS event
at a time. This is done so that the interaction with the rest of the
system is as expected (freq adjust, period randomization, lbr,
callchains, etc.).
It adds an ABI element: perf_event_attr::precise, which indicates that we
wish to use this (constrained, but precise) mode.
