The perf infrastructure is used for userspace to track issues.
At least a good part of what's described here is related to
it.
So, add it to the admin-guide.

Rename the perf documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

For drivers that do not support context exclusion let's advertise the
PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE capability. This ensures that perf will
prevent us from handling events where any exclusion flags are set.
Let's also remove the now unnecessary check for exclusion flags.
This change means that qcom_{l2|l3}_pmu will now also indicate that
they do not support exclude_{host|guest} and that xgene_pmu does
not also support exclude_idle and exclude_hv.
Note that for qcom_l2_pmu we now implictly return -EINVAL instead
of -EOPNOTSUPP. This change will result in the perf userspace
utility retrying the perf_event_open system call with fallback
event attributes that do not fail.

Now that all the grouping is done with RB trees, we no longer need
group_entry and can replace the whole thing with sibling_list.

This adds a new dynamic PMU to the Perf Events framework to program
and control the L3 cache PMUs in some Qualcomm Technologies SOCs.
The driver supports a distributed cache architecture where the overall
cache for a socket is comprised of multiple slices each with its own PMU.
Access to each individual PMU is provided even though all CPUs share all
the slices. User space needs to aggregate to individual counts to provide
a global picture.
The driver exports formatting and event information to sysfs so it can
be used by the perf user space tools with the syntaxes:
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/read-miss/
perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_0/event=0x21/
