Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/3 v3] perf: Update perf tool to monitor uncore events

Uncore events are monitored with raw events with "ru" prefix("u" for uncore).
Note that, per-task uncore event is not allowed.

$ ./perf stat -e ru0101 -- ls
No permission to collect stats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

./perf stat -a -C 0 -e ru0101 -- ls

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

             949585  raw 0x101               

        0.001741513  seconds time elapsed

TODO:

- Add a new sub-command for uncore events statistics.
For example, perf package -p <package-id> -e <event>
