ptwrite is an Intel x86 instruction that writes arbitrary values into an
Intel PT trace. It is not supported on all hardware, so provide an
alternative that makes use of TNT packets to convey the payload data.
TNT packets encode Taken/Not-taken conditional branch information, so
taking branches based on the payload value will encode the value into
the TNT packet. Refer to the changes to the documentation file
perf-intel-pt.txt in this patch for an example.

Normally, for cycle-acccurate mode, IPC values are an exact number of
instructions and cycles. Due to the granularity of timestamps, that happens
only when a CYC packet correlates to the event.
Support the itrace 'A' option, to use instead, the number of cycles
associated with the current timestamp. This provides IPC information for
every change of timestamp, but at the expense of accuracy. Due to the
granularity of timestamps, the actual number of cycles increases even
though the cycles reported does not. The number of instructions is known,
but if IPC is reported, cycles can be too low and so IPC is too high. Note
that inaccuracy decreases as the period of sampling increases i.e. if the
number of cycles is too low by a small amount, that becomes less
significant if the number of cycles is large.
Furthermore, it can be used in conjunction with dlfilter-show-cycles.so
to provide higher granularity cycle information.

The Intel PT decoder limits the number of unconditional branches (e.g.
jmps) decoded without consuming any trace packets. Generally, a loop
needs a conditional branch which generates a TNT packet, whereas a "ret"
instruction will generate a TIP or TNT packet. So exceeding the limit is
assumed to be a never-ending loop, which can happen if there has been a
decoding error putting the decoder at the wrong place in the code.
Up until now, the limit of 10000 has been enough but some analytic
purposes have been reported to exceed that.
Increase the limit to 100000, and make it configurable via perf config
intel-pt.max-loops. Also amend the "Never-ending loop" message to
mention the configuration entry.

The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some
cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction
bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done.
Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where
they are not present.
Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is
not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply
cleanly to stable branches.
Example:
A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel
parameter tsx=on may be required.
# for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done

if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) {

The instruction latency information can be recorded on some platforms,

(weight) and the new instruction latency information, users can easily
locate the expensive load instructions, and also understand the time
spent in different stages. The users can optimize their applications in
different pipeline stages.
The 'weight' field is shared among different architectures. Reusing the
'weight' field may impacts other architectures. Add a new field to store
the instruction latency.
Like the 'weight' support, introduce a 'ins_lat' for the global
instruction latency, and a 'local_ins_lat' for the local instruction
latency version.
Add new sort functions, INSTR Latency and Local INSTR Latency,

The new sample type shares the same space as the PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT

type. The higher 32 bits may be different for different architecture.
Add arch specific arch_evsel__set_sample_weight() to set the new sample

Use the new itrace 'q' option to add support for a mode of decoding that
ignores TNT, does not walk object code, but gets the ip from FUP and TIP
packets.
Example:
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u grep -rI pudding drivers
[ perf record: Woken up 52 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 57.870 MB perf.data ]
$ time perf script --itrace=bi | wc -l
58948289
real 1m23.863s
user 1m23.251s
sys 0m7.452s
$ time perf script --itrace=biq | wc -l
3385694
real 0m4.453s

Change the debug logging (when used with the --time option) to time
filter logged perf events, but allow that to be overridden by using
"d+a" instead of plain "d".
That can reduce the size of the log file.

The "d" option may be followed by flags which affect what debug messages
will or will not be logged. Each flag must be preceded by either '+' or
'-'. The flags support by Intel PT are:
-a Suppress logging of perf events
Suppressing perf events is useful for decreasing the size of the log.

The itrace "e" option may be followed by flags which affect what errors
will or will not be reported. Each flag must be preceded by either '+' or '-'.
The flags supported by Intel PT are:
-o Suppress overflow errors
-l Suppress trace data lost errors
For example, for errors but not overflow or data lost errors:
--itrace=e-o-l
Suppressing those errors can be useful for testing and debugging because
they are not due to decoding.

It is generally more useful to show the symbol with an address. In this
case, the print function requires the 'machine' which means changing
callers to provide it as a parameter. It is optional because most events
do not need it and the callers that matter can provide it.
Committer notes:
Made 'union perf_event' continue to be the first parameter to the
perf_event__fprintf() and perf_event__fprintf_text_poke() events.
