ba11ba65e0 perf intel-pt: Add mispred-all config option to aid use with autofdo
autofdo incorrectly expects branch flags to include either mispred or
predicted.  In fact mispred = predicted = 0 is valid and means the flags
are not supported, which they aren't by Intel PT.

To make autofdo work, add a config option which will cause Intel PT
decoder to set the mispred flag on all branches.

Below is an example of using Intel PT with autofdo.  The example is
also added to the Intel PT documentation.  It requires autofdo
(https://github.com/google/autofdo) and gcc version 5.  The bubble
sort example is from the AutoFDO tutorial (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/AutoFDO/Tutorial)
amended to take the number of elements as a parameter.

	$ gcc-5 -O3 sort.c -o sort_optimized
	$ ./sort_optimized 30000
	Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
	2254 ms

	$ cat ~/.perfconfig
	[intel-pt]
		mispred-all

	$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./sort 3000
	Bubble sorting array of 3000 elements
	58 ms
	[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.939 MB perf.data ]
	$ perf inject -i perf.data -o inj --itrace=i100usle --strip
	$ ./create_gcov --binary=./sort --profile=inj --gcov=sort.gcov -gcov_version=1
	$ gcc-5 -O3 -fauto-profile=sort.gcov sort.c -o sort_autofdo
	$ ./sort_autofdo 30000
	Bubble sorting array of 30000 elements
	2155 ms

Note there is currently no advantage to using Intel PT instead of LBR,
but that may change in the future if greater use is made of the data.

f14445ee72 perf intel-pt: Support generating branch stack
Add support for generating branch stack context for PT samples.  The
decoder reports a configurable number of branches as branch context for
each sample. Internally it keeps track of them by using a simple sliding
window.  We also flush the last branch buffer on each sample to avoid
overlapping intervals.

This is useful for:

- Reporting accurate basic block edge frequencies through the perf
  report branch view
- Using with --branch-history to get the wider context of samples
- Other users of LBRs

Also the Documentation is updated.

Examples:

	Record with Intel PT:

		perf record -e intel_pt//u ls

	Branch stacks are used by default if synthesized so:

		perf report --itrace=ile

	is the same as:

		perf report --itrace=ile -b

	Branch history can be requested also:

		perf report --itrace=igle --branch-history

e1791347b5 perf auxtrace: Fix 'instructions' period of zero
Instruction tracing options (i.e. --itrace) include an option for
sampling instructions at an arbitrary period. e.g.

	--itrace=i10us

means make an 'instructions' sample for every 10us of trace.

Currently the logic does not distinguish between a period of
zero and no period being specified at all, so it gets treated
as the default period which is 100000.  That doesn't really
make sense.

Fix it so that zero period is accepted and treated as meaning
"as often as possible".

In the case of Intel PT that is the same as a period of 1 and
a unit of 'instructions' (i.e. --itrace=i1i).

5efb1d5489 perf tools: Take Intel PT into use
To record an AUX area, the weak function auxtrace_record__init() must be
implemented.

Equally to decode an AUX area, the AUX area tracing type must be added
to the perf_event__process_auxtrace_info() function.

This patch makes those two changes plus hooks up default config for the
intel_pt PMU.  Also some brief documentation is provided for using the
tools with intel_pt.
