Adrian Hunter f4aa081949 perf tools: Add Intel PT decoder
Add support for decoding an Intel Processor Trace.

Intel PT trace data must be 'decoded' which involves walking the object
code and matching the trace data packets.

The decoder requests a buffer of binary data via a get_trace()
call-back, which it decodes using instruction information which it gets
via another call-back walk_insn().

Adrian Hunter 53af92849d perf tools: Add Intel PT log
Add a facility to log Intel Processor Trace decoding.  The log is
intended for debugging purposes only.

The log file name is "intel_pt.log" and is opened in the current
directory.  The log contains a record of all packets and instructions
decoded and can get very large (10 MB would be a small one).

Adrian Hunter 237fae79f5 perf tools: Add Intel PT instruction decoder
Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace.  The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.

This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.

Add support for decoding Intel Processor Trace packets.

This essentially provides intel_pt_get_packet() which takes a buffer of
binary data and returns the decoded packet.
