Takao Indoh 709bc87192 perf/x86/intel/pt: Clean up files of Intel Processor Trace
This patch just cleans up some files of Intel Processor Trace, does not
change its behavior. This patch removes unused definitions and replaces a
constant value with a macro.

Alexander Shishkin b1bf72d669 perf/x86/intel/pt: Add new timing packet enables
Intel PT chapter in the new Intel Architecture SDM adds several packets
corresponding enable bits and registers that control packet generation.
Also, additional bits in the Intel PT CPUID leaf were added to enumerate
presence and parameters of these new packets and features.

The packets and enables are:

  * CYC: cycle accurate mode, provides the number of cycles elapsed since
    previous CYC packet; its presence and available threshold values are
    enumerated via CPUID;

  * MTC: mini time counter packets, used for tracking TSC time between
    full TSC packets; its presence and available resolution options are
    enumerated via CPUID;

  * PSB packet period is now configurable, available period values are
    enumerated via CPUID.

This patch adds corresponding bit and register definitions, pmu driver
capabilities based on CPUID enumeration, new attribute format bits for
the new featurens and extends event configuration validation function
to take these into account.

Alexander Shishkin 52ca9ced3f perf/x86/intel/pt: Add Intel PT PMU driver
Add support for Intel Processor Trace (PT) to kernel's perf events.
PT is an extension of Intel Architecture that collects information about
software execuction such as control flow, execution modes and timings and
formats it into highly compressed binary packets. Even being compressed,
these packets are generated at hundreds of megabytes per second per core,
which makes it impractical to decode them on the fly in the kernel.

This driver exports trace data by through AUX space in the perf ring
buffer, which is zero-copy mapped into userspace for faster data retrieval.
