Subject: [RFC PATCH] perf: Add load latency monitoring on Intel
 Nehalem/Westmere

Hi, all

This patch adds load latency monitoring on Intel Nehalem/Westmere.
It's applied on top of tip/master(3ea1f4f89) and Andi's offcore
patchsets are needed.

Updated perf offcore patchkit
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129103647731356&w=2

The load latency on Intel Nehalem/Westmere is monitored by event
MEM_INST_RETIRED.LATENCY_ABOVE_THRESHOLD(0x100b). It measures latency
from micro-operation (uop) dispatch to when data is globally observable
(GO).

To monitor load latency, both the PEBS_EN_CTRx and LL_EN_CTRx bits must
be set in IA32_PEBS_ENABLE register. And an extra MSR
MSR_PEBS_LD_LAT_THRESHOLD must be programmed with the desired latency
threshold in core clock cycles. Loads with latencies greater than this
value are counted.

The latency threshold is encoded in the upper 32 bits of
perf_event_attr::config and 'p' modifier must be used to enabel PEBS.

The default latency threshold is 3, as Intel manual says, "The minimum
value that may be programmed in this register is 3 (the minimum
detectable load latency is 4 core clock cycles)."

Here are some example outputs.
