Adrian Hunter edff7809c8 perf intel-pt: Add new packets for PEBS via PT
Add 3 new packets to supports PEBS via PT, namely Block Begin Packet
(BBP), Block Item Packet (BIP) and Block End Packet (BEP). PEBS data is
encoded into multiple BIP packets that come between BBP and BEP. The BEP
packet might be associated with a FUP packet. That is indicated by using
a separate packet type (INTEL_PT_BEP_IP) similar to other packets types
with the _IP suffix.

Refer to the Intel SDM for more information about PEBS via PT:

  https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm
  May 2019 version: Vol. 3B 18.5.5.2 PEBS output to Intel® Processor Trace

Decoding of BIP packets conflicts with single-byte TNT packets. Since
BIP packets only occur in the context of a block (i.e. between BBP and
BEP), that context must be recorded and passed to the packet decoder.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
