Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf, x86: Don't allow unusual PEBS raw flags

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The PEBS documentation in the Intel SDM 18.6.1.1 states:

"""
PEBS events are only valid when the following fields of IA32_PERFEVTSELx are all
zero: AnyThread, Edge, Invert, CMask.
"""

Since we had problems with this earlier, don't allow cmask, any, edge, invert
as raw events, except for the ones explicitly listed as pebs_aliases.
