Adrian Hunter c840cbfeff perf intel-pt: Add PSB events
Emitting a PSB+ can cause a CPU a slight delay. When doing timing analysis
of code with Intel PT, it is useful to know if a timing bubble was caused
by Intel PT or not. Add reporting of PSB events via perf script. PSB
events are printed with the existing itrace 'p' option which also prints
power and frequency changes. The PSB event contains the trace offset at
which the PSB occurs, to allow easy reference back to the PSB+ packets.

The PSB event timestamp is always the timestamp from the PSB+ TSC
packet, and the ip is always the address from the PSB+ FUP packet.

The code changes are non-trivial because the decoder must walk to the
PSB+ FUP address before outputting the PSB event.

Example:

  $ perf record -e intel_pt/cyc,psb_period=0/u uname
  Linux
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.046 MB perf.data ]
  $ perf script --itrace=p --ns

This patch is to add four options to synthesize events which are
described as below:

 'f': synthesize first level cache events
 'm': synthesize last level cache events
 't': synthesize TLB events
 'a': synthesize remote access events

This four options will be used by ARM SPE as their first consumer.

Andi Kleen 4eb0681571 perf script: Make itrace script default to all calls
By default 'perf script' for itrace outputs sampled instructions or
branches. In my experience this is confusing to users because it's hard
to correlate with real program behavior. The sampling makes sense for
tools like 'perf report' that actually sample to reduce the run time,
but run time is normally not a problem for 'perf script'.  It's better
to give an accurate representation of the program flow.

Default 'perf script' to output all calls for itrace. That's a much saner
default. The old behavior can be still requested with 'perf script'
--itrace=ibxwpe100000

Andi Kleen d1706b39f0 perf tools: Add support for skipping itrace instructions
When using 'perf script' to look at PT traces it is often useful to
ignore the initialization code at the beginning.

On larger traces which may have many millions of instructions in
initialization code doing that in a pipeline can be very slow, with perf
script spending a lot of CPU time calling printf and writing data.

This patch adds an extension to the --itrace argument that skips 'n'
events (instructions, branches or transactions) at the beginning. This
is much more efficient.

v2:
Add support for BTS (Adrian Hunter)
Document in itrace.txt
Fix branch check
Check transactions and instructions too

Committer note:

To test intel_pt one needs to make sure VT-x isn't active, i.e.
stopping KVM guests on the test machine, as described by Andi Kleen
